Michelle has been providing such marvelous lunches lately that she was stumped for this week. I suggested nachos since they're my standby at home (no surprise there eh?) and this is what she created. She had an extra container of Cafe Rio's house dressing and I must say that was an excellent addition.
We had some of Michelle's leftover birthday cake from Wednesday evening's book club celebration. I usually have to have vanilla ice cream with every bite of this cake because it's so very chocolatey, but I did just fine without it!
Our self-portrait from this week. We took it outside in an attempt to look less sickly than last week's washed-out photo.
I worked on many thank you notes yesterday and left Michelle's house almost completely caught up. Woohoo!
But then I got home and had this table full of goodness waiting for me! I was speechless. What is going on? When I got that "Operation Cheer" package from Mique the other day I just assumed she'd written that on the envelope to be cute. I didn't know there was an actual Operation Cheer in effect? I didn't get to open any of them up because I was in a whirlwind of cleaning to prep for Adam's birthday/game night, but I am thoroughly enjoying the anticipation of opening them.
Of course, I really should get moving on them though because I got another load today!! Good grief. Thanks you guys!!

Ha!
Start opening and show us the goods!
Hope your weekend is looking up. I hate to see you down. I don't even "know" you but you are the main reason I began blogging and Luci thinks Whitney is her new imaginary best friend. It hurts me to see you down!
I didn't know about the Operation but now that I do...I believe I'm just gonna have to jump in and add to the cause! :)
Can't wait to see your goodness and I'm glad you were still able to have Creative Friday.
I forget about nachos.
I love Cafe Rio dressing.
I'm not even close to caught up on Thank You's- at what point do you give up?
No, I didn't know about the operation but was sure glad to find out it was good mail and not a real procedure! You hardly need the other kind of operation when you are unemployed! Phew.
I like how you and your friends
always (seems like) get pix of your
selves together :)I need to start
bringing my camera along to places!
Oh woe! I love that Michelle creates these fantastic meals every week, and you always have a dessert, BUT I never see what you're 'craft creating'! Grrr. I hate waiting to see it all on the other side of the Good Mail 'orbit'! Just joking. But I do wonder what treasures you and Michelle are crafting away at.
I love that pink and green paper trimmer! And, no, I didn't know there was a whole 'operation' in effect to cheer you up. If only women ruled the world, eh...?
I know something you don't know.........:)
But I'm not telling.
Oh, the cake was so yummy! It didn't even need ice cream.
I did know about Operation Cheer. Can't wait to see what's coming your way!
Love that stack of Good Mail that has come your way and I can not wait to see what is inside all those wonderful packages. When I see all those it makes me think of hugs from all over. I hope you feel that too!
I love nachos and good mail! I've never had Cafe Rio but the way you girls talk about it, I know I'm missing out on something good!
Yeah for operation cheer! I hope it does the trick.
Isn't it amazing how generous women are with each other! It really warms the heart doesn't it!
Somehow the idea of Creative Friday Nacho edition was very amusing.
I'm excited by your stack of cheer!
operation what? those nachos look and probably taste heavenly. i want some. i can never never eat nachos without you. you make them taste good. today we returned to universal studios, but the mummy ride was not the same without you. YOU WERE HILLARIOUS. and I miss doing the ride with you...maybe soon? lv.missy
No, I dont' make nachos at home and I am not sure why?? Those look amazing!!! Michelle's food always looks great. You are a lucky girl to get to enjoy it!
I am behind on Thank you notes. That is on my to-do list for tonight.
I hope you are feeling the love of operation cheer :o)
I think it's awesome you and michelle continue to eat well.
You just need to be aware that you will never be caught up with your Thank yous. You're so thoughtful that you will always have friends returning the favor.
Hooray for operation cheer!!
Haven't made nachos for quite a while. That's a great idea though -- to do a huge tray all at once. That cake looks divine.
what is this operation cheer? it is fantastic, whatever it is!
love that you are getting showered with goodness. one who gives so freely should get so freely!!!!
We eat nachos for lunch almost every Sunday after church :-) It staves us off till we can make a real dinner. It is always devastating to be out of cheese on a Sunday.
I am drooling just looking at the nachos.They look so yummy.
Can't wait to see what every one has sent you.
Nachos, yum! I hardly ever make them. But with Cafe Rio dressing, it sounds even better. I wish we had Cafe Rio here!
I am so happy the Operation good cheer is piling up! :)
Do you make nachos at home? Not usually... because I eat them.
Do you love Cafe Rio's house dressing? I like it a lot... love?
Are you caught up on thank you notes? I think I am caught up but there are always random thank yous that I could write. My mind goes blank when I sit down though. Sometimes I take notes about who I want to send a just because thank you.
Did you know about this operation? No... sorry.
Mmmm. . .Nachos. Sounds good. I'm bingeing on junk food today. I can't seem to stop myself. Tonight I'm having an ice cream sundae at Mutual. It must be that. Sounds like you two had a good day--even if you were suffering with a cough!
so this is what happens when you are out of the blogging loop...i had no idea about the operation cheer. i certainly hope it's doing the trick though. i hope things start looking up soon. i really, really do.
