blank

Does your mind ever go blank?? Mine does and it drives me crazy...sometimes it happens when I've traveled to a room and can't remember why I went there or when someone asks me a question or when I'm driving and all of a sudden I have no idea where I am or where I'm going (or am I the only one that happens to???). I especially don't like it when I'm planning out the menu for the week before I go grocery shopping. I usually will ask my husband for "requests" and his response is "Food". Its unnerving going into the grocery store with no clue as to what you should put into the cart so you can "survive" the week. I'd rather not have to survive on baked beans, green olives, mixed nuts and grapes...which sometimes by the time I get to the end of the line, my cart resembles that list more times than I want to admit. So then its retracing my steps and filling in the gaps...

Between stocking up at BJ's and then my "perishable" shopping at Hannaford things can get a little confusing. I seem to go on "kicks". We'll have Mexican three nights in the week or Chili and chips then chili-dogs and then chili soup. Which is all very economical b/c I'm using the leftovers for multiple meals but it does get a little boring, which ultimately leads to a blank mind.

So what am I to do?? I've tried keeping a spreadsheet of all the meals I make....which turned out to be more work than it was useful...Maybe winging it and keeping it all a surprise is the way to go, even though I can't plan it all out.

Maybe planning meals has become a weakness....???? Maybe should I just embrace the blankness????
