Bring on the Ice!

I think if every day was like today, that I would never know what being exhausted felt like! We got off at 2:00 because of the weather, I came home and took a nap, when my husband got off work I got up and just spent time with him! What a great night!
My weekend was productive. Many of you would be proud of me - I did some wife-like duties! First off let me say that for those of you that keep up with my blog that we are doing just OK on the whole losing weight/diet plan. We did good the first week, but of course with school in full swing it gets so hard! So this weekend we searched some low fat casseroles and Sunday was full of cooking! I cooked lots of stuff up and did what many recommend and froze them for when we don't have time to cook. That way not only is dinner ready, but it is healthy! One question though - I ran into the problem that the first dish that I sat out today was not defrosted by supper time. So it threw the cooking time off and all. Any way to avoid that?
Something about doing that gave me a little confidence that maybe this losing weight and eating better is attainable. It just takes preparation!
Ok well here is my next question for you vacation savvy people. We are looking at our vacation time and we have finally set a week in the summer that we are both going to take off. So now comes the hard part, where do we go? Here are some ideas and feel free to add - Disney World, Cozumel, Vegas. We want to go on a fun big trip this summer - we figure it will be our last big one before we have kids. We will take future vacation money and save it for a kid. So we want it to be fun and full of memories! So bring on the ideas!
I hope everyone's week is going well. Tomorrow night my classes got cancelled already because of the weather so I have a feeling it is going to be a great week!

It usually takes something a couple of days in the fridge to totally defrost, so maybe just pull it out two days before you plan to have it for dinner.
No ideas on the vacation thing. Our vacations are never to warm / tropical locations. We're going to Germany to visit friends in June (chilly) and hopefully Oregon for our 10 year anniversary in November or December (cold and rainy). Yes, we are strange!
One place that we have on our list is Crater Lake (http://www.crater.lake.national-park.com/)
but I don't know how much outdoor stuff you want to do or if you prefer soaking up the sun on a beach. It would be someplace different and it is gorgeous! Just a thought.

I think the two of you are more Disney type people! But that's just my opinion.
