LOL ... I was gonna say "Good luck!" b/c it's something I've been working on for over a year ... and yep, we still find ourselves eating completely unhealthy food too often.

ha!

=D

it was the 'cleaning it all up every night' that didn't have my convinced. I'd rather eat out (but it's not in our budget at the moment). Cleaning up is the worst part of cooking.

too cute.

It was the "resolve to love doing it" that had me......wouldn't that be an oxymoron?

I too have a younger husband... good to know someone else has one of those. It's nice to know that he will be working for many years after I retire because he is so much younger than me.

You had me fooled for a moment...all I could think was, what changed her mind?

Ha, ha, good one! I thought that seemed unlikely! What would they do with the Julie button?

Man, all I could think of was all of those great waitresses who'd be missing out on a little Ima'loving $$ tips at the end of their meals!!

Can't tell that I used to be a waitress, huh?

Good joke Julie!!

I was wondering what was up. I was feeling sort of abandoned since you are the only person I know besides myself who makes eating out a priority in their life.

Good one, Julie. I was all ready to ask what brought about this change....

That was great. When I saw your headline for the post, I thought "no way!" My favorite line, which I had to read twice was "I'm resolved to love making menus." I was hoping to learn what a "love making menu" consisted of!! LOL!

I was ready to counsel that this was too big a change, too unrealistic, too opposed to your nature. I was going to make you look at why you would stop doing one of the things in life that most makes you happy when there was no real need to cut back.

Sorry, but as soon as I saw this thread, I knew it HAD to be an April Fool's joke. We know you too well Julie.

I knew right away it was a joke. She does nothing as it is, why would she want to start now?!? LOL

I do too, I handle my husbands money, what a great job. (Plus I do the books on the four houses we have going, all by hand)

If you have worked in a kitchen at a restaurant you would not eat out - ever.

I totally fell for it because I'm behind on posts and didn't notice the date. Duh. You did have me going there until I wondered why there was all that blank white space and saw the disclaimer. Good one!

All I read was "love making" and I was interested.
