My List o' tunes...and a few other things...

Tony - THE Anti-Jared - posted his play list today so I thought I'd join in and do the same.

First of all I must state...I do not have an Ipod, or a zune or any kind of MP3 player...

WHAT??? Yep, haven't had the pleasure of getting one of those fantastic gadgets yet...but truthfully I don't need one. I have my Chocolate 3 with a 2GB card in it and it works just fine. I can plug in my fave ear buds or have it transmit my songs through my car radio (I love that function) and it's small so I can fit it anywhere...Well onto my list...this is my exercise list...

  • Apologize - Timbaland
  • Circus - Britney Spears
  • Dangerous - Akon
  • I Like That - Houston
  • I'm In Miami B**** - LMFAO
  • In The Ayer - Flo-Rida
  • Jizz in My Pants - The Lonely Island (weird song but the beat can't be "beat" lol)
  • Let's Do Something Crazy - Ashanti
  • What Them Girls Like - Ludacris
  • Bombs Over Baghdad - Outkast
  • Paralyzer - Finger Eleven
  • What Is It? - Baby Bash
  • Whine Up - Kat De Luna
  • Womanizer - Britney Spears
  • Down With The Sickness - Disturbed
  • Just Dance - Lady Gaga
  • Killa - Cherish
  • Miss Independent - Neyo
  • Sexy Can I? - Ray J
  • Something In Your Mouth - Nickelback
  • What's A Girl To Do? - Bat For Lashes
Whew, forgot I had so many!!!

LOVE Music...All kinds...yes even rap, metal, classical, country, oldies...etc...I heard that my FAVORITE group from the 80's is putting out a new album and going on tour...DEPECHE MODE!!! I think the closest they're coming to me is Atlantic City. Live music is nice, local bands and such...Going out tomorrow to get my dance and drink on with the girls. We're all pumped about it. I can't drink much and I'll be drinking early cause I've volunteered to be DD. I love doing this because then I don't spend a night drinking calories, I remember everything in the morning and I don't get a hangover! We're having a get together at my bff's house afterward so I'm bringing a veggie tray and making some pumpkin/cake mix muffins.

Found this interesting article today...I think I may take a fast from the net one day a week. I know I spend entirely too much time on here. I should be exercising while the Nidge is napping!!! LOL

Now since I mentioned exercise...I've been sleeping like a baby lately. I switched up my exercise. Before bed at night I do a little routine. I don't know if it would be called resistance or strength training. I use the ball and do leg exercises, then do some ab exercises and then use the dumbbell to do sit ups on the ball. My muscles are aching but I'm sleeping like I haven't slept in a LONG time! Along with walking a couple times a week I'm feeling much better.

Well I must depart, take care of my sick wee little boy. He's running a fever and coughing and sniffling and pooping...poor guy :(. I hope it doesn't last long. Both hubs and I are known for our respiratory issues (neither of us smoke either). I don't have quite as many bouts of bronchitis as I did when I was heavier, but they come around once in awhile.

Enjoy your day, however you may!!!

Toodles...

Pile of stuff

Like the laundry piled in the laundry room on "off" days...Here's a messy posts of whites, darks, colors and lights ;)

No rhyme nor reason, just wanting to share...

Nidge is sick, coughing, pooping, sniffling sick. I couldn't figure out why until I remembered he was at the pediatricians office this week for his yearly. He picked it up there :(. Poor sniffling sad wee boy.

I spent WAY too much money on groceries today. Aldi's had a bunch of fruit and veggies for $1.99...wahoo!!! I also found the fat free promise I so love. They changed the packaging, instead of two little tubs it's one big tub. This stuff only has 5 calories!!! I'm a happy gal. It's not an all purpose spread, but it is good on toast and on baked potatoes and such.

I got Kim Bensen's email newsletter today and she has a load of "comfort food" recipes right now. You have to go and get them soon as she doesn't keep archives of them...Here's the link Kim Bensen Enjoy!

Some free downloads that you all may be able to use. Video slicing, screen capturer, task manager and disk analyzer. Free Downloads

On an odd note, I was carrying my son to the living room and got a weird "sense". It's hard to explain but I got the scent and mental note of those nasty Easter eggs...you know those nasty "fruit flavored" ones that are covered in chocolate. I'll have to go to the store and let you know what the true name of them are.

I think that's it...Got to fill ya in on my houseguest and my fab O weekend out!!!

Toodles :)

A treat for me...

I was looking through the paper last night and saw that one of the local bus companies has a bus tour in April to go see the Cherry Blossoms in DC. It's only $66! I told hubs I'd like to treat myself to a mommy's day out. He said go for it!!! So I'm really thinking of doing it. I figure it's an awesome opportunity to take some fabulous photo's, see some sites I've never seen before and just enjoy. Anyone every been on a bus trip? I don't know what to expect at all!

Not much else is going on. I've had a sinus headache for two days :(. I've noticed that when I get these I tend to snack more. I've recognized this and am now going to do something about it. That's why I'm blogging right now...to keep my fingers out of the "cookie jar".

Toodles :)

The Aftermath

The visit's weren't that bad. First stop, cousins...computer work while hubs did plumbing. I took a Fiber 1 bar just in case. I started getting a headache around 12:30 so I ate it up. To my relief cousin and my dad went to the store and came back with chipped ham...whew!!! No chips...sweet!!! I ate a sandwich and a half with just mustard and it was good :). A few hours later, movie and pizza's...I had went to Aldi's and picked up one of their Fit and Active Pizza pouches. I love crust and these sure are crusty. They satisfied my craving for 5 points, verses the 9 that a relatively similar sized piece of pizza would have (1/4 of the pizza). I had a salad and a few nibbles of Nidge's crust *did I mention I LOVE crust?* Later when everyone was having chocolate cake with PB icing I had an apple and one nibble of the cake (I think the bite was like an inch square). All in all it wasn't a bad day, I went over points and the scale is up a tad...but I didn't completely blow it...

Just thought I'd make good on my promise to show my equipment...




Another shot of the cookbook cupboard. It's one of my favorite gifts from my dad...



This is the fridge. I love having the freezer on the bottom. I drove hubs nuts till I got it! Nidge likes to play with magnets too...




This is the stove. I was making cookies for a friend the day the photo was taken. We got it from some very dear friends of ours. Having the two ovens is great. The top one heats up in a snap and unless I'm cooking for a holiday the bottom rarely gets used.






Hi, my name is Beanie and this is my first time at "Gadgets Annonymous" :). I have a serious gadget collecting problem.

Saturday, February 21, 2009

Keep me in your thoughts...

First off I want to say I LOVE MY FRIENDS...

That being said, I hate being in eating situations with them. These said friends are not food pushers at all...I'm just too picky I guess.

It's going to be a good day, a busy one. I hope there are good food choices, at least a few, because I've been doing so well. I'll let you know how it goes...

Till then here's some photo's...These should have been backwards with me last...but I don't feel like fighting with this thing today ;) Enjoy



Howdy, messing with the camera's timing function...




My favorite water pitcher...everything tastes better in glass...








The Nidge playing pretend kitty...this went on all day!!! He even meowed and gave himself kitty bath's...oh and he was scratching me with his claws. I especially love the one of him and Jingles on the back of the couch...








This was our "make a valentine for Mamaw day". He loves markers. He also gets his camera every time he see's me with mine. I love it!!! Oh and in the last photo you can see my cookbook cabinet. My dad made it and it is filled with one of my obsessions...cookbooks!






Kid's and cake, need I say more????

Mummbles and Jumbles

First off....Brrrrr!!! I so want this cold weather to just go away!!! Believe you me, when it's 90 I AM NOT one of those people to complain about the heat!

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I'm getting around to checking out every one's sites and hopefully someday I'll get you added to my "blogs I follow". I thought at first when I added someone to my google reader it subscribed me to their blog...guess not!

On the foodie front...I have been feeling really well lately (is that proper English?). I'm noticing the more whole food I eat the fuller I am and the healthier I feel. I haven't felt this positive in a year! The little bit of exercise I'm getting is helping too. When and where I can grab it, that is! I did a bit on the stepper last night and some weight lifting...

Yesterday was a butt ugly kind of day. The fam and I went to the donut shop across the street from us. I took an orange, had one donut hole and a cup of coffee. I stole a bite of cinnamon pie stick from hubs...but all in all I think I did well by avoiding the peanut butter iced, peanut butter filled donut!!! Now my son on the other hand...let me tell you the pb filled chocolate iced was NOT a good idea! He doesn't get those kinds of treats but once a month if that...and now I'm thinking not at all. I had a headache and was tired and I could see that he was on a sugar high. When he crashed it was pure hell!!! Oh MY GOODNESS...I texted the husband that he was being "Mr whiny cry baby, the world is ending, there's no tunes on, I'm going to blow" child. I wanted to lock myself in the closet, suck my thumb and crawl into the fetal position!!!

Today on the other hand has been a pleasant, dare I say wonderful day? I babysat for a bit this morning. Then I went shopping. Nothing major, just the dollar tree to get batteries and cleaning supplies and then to the grocery store for some odds and ends. I took my time, I needed my alone time and I feel so very much better for taking it! I called on my way home and hubs let me know that Nidge was in his kitty cat costume from Halloween. He's been laying on the back of the couch and using his "paws" to take a bath. Right now he and the cat are setting on the dining room table. Guess I'll have to get the squirt bottle after them both!!! I took some pictures and once I get them downloaded will share.

I tried a new recipe the other day. I took about 4 medium sized potatoes, sliced real thin. Did the same with one onion. In a skillet put your choice of ground meat with the onion and cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are transparent. Drain off fat. Put potatoes on top of the meat and onions, add water to cover (I only add about 1 cup and it doesn't cover the potatoes...) add 2 beef bouillon, cover and let simmer till reduced and potatoes are tender. I counted this as 7 or 8 pts. for 1/4 of the recipe. It's Nidge and Hubs approved. Good, cheap and tasty!!!

Toodles!

The Secret...

I beat that hungry munchie monster to death last night!!! I tucked the Nidge in last night and had a nice hot cup of Sanka. It satisfied my craving and I went to bed and slept very well through the night. That is at least until the Nidge woke up at 2am because he had an accident :(. Got him all settled down and went back to bed. Poor little guy...

Today I've discovered if I stay busy I don't munch as much. I've been spring cleaning. I moved the fridge, stove and the table. Swept and mopped. All that while I didn't think about food at all. I about did a dance this morning when I got a scale. I'm the lowest I've been in two months! Now not much lower...but it's positive! I'm down to 205!!! Wahoo!!!

Just want to share something I read today in my Body + Soul magazine...

Carpe Diem..."To live each day as if it were your last, you would be trying to remedy all the mistakes you had made, all the regrets, all the things unsaid. If you live each day as if if were your first, you are freed from all obligations, all guilt, all regret."

I'm going to start some dailies...first off...Techie Tuesday's. I'll post a helpful link each Tuesday, starting today...

Don't have the change to get MS Office...check out this... Kim Komando She recommends OpenOffice.org and I use and love it.

I need it

I need to be here

Right Here

Right now...

I need to be reading and writing or I'm going to go to the kitchen on an all out raid!!!! UGH!

Doing so well yesterday and today...20 pts. yesterday, 23 today (down considerably from the 27-29 pt range I've been running).

Calgon...take me away!

An aha moment

I keep thinking I've been having these moments but they don't seem to stick. I was self talking last night as I was eating no bakes that my sister made. Up till that point I had a great eating day. I used to be so strong when it came to saying no thanks, or wrap it up I'll take it home for later (and then subsequently throw it away). I was doing the backwards journaling and it hasn't seemed to make any difference whatsoever...so today's the first day I'm back to the old way. I know I'll be well over points for the week between those dastardly cookies and changing my journaling but I don't think it will be that bad...at least I hope not. I'm limiting myself to 20 points this week. Today was the first day of this and surprisingly it went very well...I found the key...KEEP BUSY. I ate Fiber one for breakfast and then went to organize my recipes. This kept my mind and my fingers busy, plus I found a ton of recipes I forgot I printed out, saved, cut out or what have you. I didn't get "hungry" till about 10 (oh Nidge had me up before 7). At that point I just had an orange. Lunch came around so I made a bagel sandwich (ww bagel, lean ham, lettuce and miracle whip lite) and a bowl of green beans. I had a curve bar to sweeten me up a bit (been really cranky from PMS). For dinner this evening I had a HUGE salad with cukes, celery, lettuce mix and chicken. Drizzled with Kraft light Italian..Yummy!!! I have one point left and I'm trying to decide between Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate Ice cream and popcorn...decisions, decisions...LOL

I think there was a point in that post...Oh yeah...tomorrow is going to be a challenging day. I'll be off to my cousin's house and she doesn't prepare light food...UGH...so in the morning I'm definitely going to have some protein...probably an egg sandwich and of course some fiber one ;).

I realized I'm worth it and don't want to waste any more time hating myself...

I can do this....

I'm posting this for anyone who just has those last few stubborn pounds to deal with...

DivineCaroline

I was there once and I will get back there again. I was within 10 lbs. of my goal weight and I got frustrated, then I got lazy. I look at my son thinking...we're so much alike, I'm not much of a habit person. I didn't pick up cigarettes, don't have any nasty habits like picking my nose, chewing pencils, tapping my feet...etc. and my son is the same...He went from breast, to bottle to sippy, to glass effortlessly. He had no need for loveys, Binky's or any of the sort. So why can't I get back into the groove??? I do so hope the weather factors into this. I know with Hubs on the wagon it's going to get ever easier...

Sorry I just had to vent!!!! Must be the PMS.

Mish Mash...

Ah, what a day...Friday the 13th, I will not give into superstition...

Sharing a few sites today...

Dot To Dot Make your photo's dot to dot pictures for your kids to play with, great for those kids learning to count!

School Express Great for homeschooler, lots of printable and it's free!!! I'll be using this a bunch!

As for myself personally...well my TOM came again. At first I thought it was rather irregular but when I went back in my blog I see that it actually was on time!!! Wow For someone with PCOS this is monumental!!! The cramps are kicking my butt. In fact I hurt so much last night I didn't go walking, I know sorry excuse BUT I am going dancing tonight. Please, please, please let there be a decent DJ!!! Don't really have any weekend plans, just taking it easy as possible. Going to get the glue, scissors and construction paper out for the Nidge to make his Mamaw a valentine. Told Hubs he can pick what he wants me to make for Heart day...I'm thinking Mac and Cheese and some form of red meat. LOL!!! Hubs and I were talking last night and he said we're able to afford an external HD for the computers. Between the two computers (desktop and laptop) there's less than 100GB of space. I get tired of having so many online storage accounts and would like something I could plug into both computers. Going to check out Staples! Both computers cost me less than $400 so the investment is well worth it. I'm sure by freeing up a little HD space they'll run better too!

Made a quick and easy dish last night...Ground venison and vegitarian beans in tomato sauce with 1/8 cup of ketchup and splenda. Nice, old fashioned comfort food. I figured out that with 4 oz. of meat and 2 servings of the beans it was around 9 points.

Nuff of my ramblings for today...Have a great weekend. I'll post pics next week of our Valentine's day card making!

I can hear it....

Spring...

Maybe I'm getting too excited from the past two days being barely above freezing...but yesterday in the still of the morning I heard...

A morning dove

I love that sound, it reminds me that the earth is coming back alive (even if there's more snow in the forecast) and that at the end of every cold harsh winter there are bulbs beneath the frozen earth that will pop up and bring forth smells that take me back to my childhood.

This got me thinking about thunderstorms and I heard a funny quote on Pooh yesterday too...

"Rain is ever so much cosier from inside a friends house..." Pooh Bear

I want that warmth and cosy-ness that spring and friends give to me. I'm working on the later, re introducing old friendships, reconnecting...living again.

As for the weight front...still just maintaining, no losing :( but I'll take it and try to focus on not eating ALL my flexies each day!

Old friends, made from scratch and homemade warm chocolatey goodness

It's warmer out than it has been lately...but I know it won't last!!! I SO very much so want spring to come!!!

Now onto my title...

Old friend...
Via facebook I found a friend I'd known for about 10 years from our last church. She is a very dear and loving woman, SAHM, Christian, coffee lover, etc. She's real and down to earth and the thing I love most of all is that she's up front about her struggles. If she's mad she admits it, if she's sad she talks about it. She's had a rough life, she lost her mom as well, but hers was to cancer. She commented how it's funny we'd both been thinking about the other lately...and then we both commented it wasn't funny, it was God!!! He knows the desires of our hearts!!!

Made from scratch...
I have a butt ton of wash cloth's from when the Nidge was a baby. We couldn't use wipes on him, very sensitive bum ;). They were just sitting around here in a bag so yesterday I took one, cut it in a simple triangle, blanket stitched it, stuffed the stuffing in it, added some catnip and voila had a lovely little mouse for the cat. He's loving it!!!

Homemade warm chocolatey goodness...
Love cocoa, but can't stand spending $3 for the sugar free stuff or 220 calories on the cheap stuff??? Well I've been experimenting. To satisfy my hot cocoa cravings I took the recipe off of the side of my Nestle's cocoa container and adjusted it to my tastes.

1 T. cocoa
2 T. Splenda
1/2 tsp. vanilla
6 oz. hot water
left over coffee from the bottom of the pot (1 T.) OPTIONAL

Put all in your mug and stir!!! Now if you're used to the creamy, milky, marshmallowey type cocoa's you may or may not like this. It is very similar to the sf swiss miss I've bought in the store...but it's el cheapo!!!

Enjoy!!!

The rest of the story...

I'm sure this isn't "done" yet...but it was nice to read this today.

Jessica Simpson

Evidently even Jenny thinks she's healthy and all the media controversy over her weight is just BS. It was sad to read that she had such a hard time at her concert this week. She was visually upset and couldn't sing...Poor girl.

News and some helpful computer stuff...

Hubs had another dancing in the bathroom moment this morning. He dropped below 300 lbs. I remember when I first experienced that...going from Threeville to Twoville and then finally to Onederland. (I will get back to Onederland). I think he's hooked and will listen a little more intently to me when I go on and on...nag you may say! ;) I think he said 299.4. He has an interview today and I hope it goes well. He's a very emotional eater. He know's it and so do I.

In the kitchen note...yesterday I made pisketti. Nidge picked out noodles (Rotini) and I picked the sauce. Delgrosso Extra Tomato. I'm like my mom in the aspect that no sauce, bought or homemade, can go without a little finessing. Usually what I do is dump a whole bunch of spices in; oregano, sage, italian seasoning and lots of rosemary. But my secret and hers as well, was to add about 1/4 of sugar. In my case it's splenda. Voila...spaghetti just like my momma's. We also had meatballs. Aldi's turkey meatballs. Yumm-o!!!

So in crusing the net today I found some stuff that might be of interest for bloggers...

Kim Komando has a fabulous site filled with helpful tips, free I might add. She does have a premium plan as well. She has links to downloads of free programs and such. I find her resources indispensible. Today she was featuring a site that you can go to and make your own favicons. Here it is Favicon.

For those of you who haven't checked them out Cloudeight InfoAve is another GREAT resource for helpful tips, hints and free programs. They too have a premium membership available, but also the free limited one. I get it and it's great. They have something called the Freeware Hall of Fame. I have used most of the programs on there and they're fabulous.

And something I found yesterday that's helpful for those who like to download just about anything but don't want to clutter up your harddrives or take the chance of loosing them in the event of a system crash... Box.net You get 1 GB of free storage space. Granted it's not huge but it is free! I'm storing PDF's of different printables that I've collected from the net.

That's all I've got for today!!! Can ya tell I LOVE a good freebee???

Here is why...




Here's photographic proof of why I don't like the cold...keep in mind my feet do this...You can see the tips of these two fingers are pure white...





Other hand, all 4 fingers, the one is almost white clear down to my rings...




This one shows that ring finger a bit clearer




This one's against a darker backdrop

And here is why I made that phone call today...worth more to me than all the money in the world!!!

I did it!!!

Well here was the list...

On the agenda...
Grocery shopping!!! - Not done and will not be done today...
Making the dreaded phone call - It's done, FINALLY
Bath (soaking in salts) - On my way soon
Playing with the Nidge!!! - had a tickle fest in the living room awhile ago...

The phone call wasn't as bad as I anticipated and I'm so glad it's done. It feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and now I can move on!!!

Still Procrastinating...

So I still haven't made "THE" phone call. I know it's going to be a tuffy and I'm sure my boss will be disappointed and try and talk me out of it but I know where I need to be and can't picture myself in that environment again. At least not until the Nidge is in school, but then again I've thrown the idea of homeschooling around...so who knows. Ugh...why am I putting this off. I know it's the reason for my bad, negative, annoyed mood and once it's over then it truly will be OVER. Now it's nearly lunch time so I doubt if I'll catch him before he leaves for lunch...so now I have to wait till this afternoon....

Come on woman...get on with it...and then you can move on!!!

On the agenda...
Grocery shopping!!!
Making the dreaded phone call
Bath (soaking in salts)
Playing with the Nidge!!!

Sunshine

Ok, I thought today, man am I always negative??? Do I always complain???

I thought...make a list of at least 10 things I'm thankful for...so here goes.

1. My son
2. My hubs
3. My family
4. My home
5. That although we're low on funds we haven't starved and I'm trying new recipes
6. Fiber One
7. Unsweetened Almond Breeze
8. Vacumming up Cheerios
9. Hot cocoa on a cold day
10. Mastering my mom's recipes one by one and seeing my dad's face when he tastes them...

So there we go!!! What's your favorite 10 things?

Mamma Mia

Ugh...I'm having a rotten day...well it started yesterday around 1 to be more precise...

We went to visit a friend out where we used to live (for 10 years). Love and adore this woman...but I hate going to her house. Don't get me wrong I love her house, beautiful, clean, child friendly...she's the Nidge's adopted Grandma because she was my mom's BFF. She's petite...BUT she's ALWAYS complaining about her weight, her muffin top...weight and health in general...BUT every time we go there she lays out a veritable smorgasbord of cookies, chips, cheese...any kind of food in general. I know she means well, it's just how she was raised...Key point here...hubs and I both have food issues. I'm midway thru my journey and hubs is starting his. I try desperately not to have ANY trigger foods in the house. Also, she's one of those people who prods you to shove food down your pie hole. So you guessed it...too many chips, bugles, pretzels, cookies...UGH I feel nauseous just thinking about it. I had a small breakfast and lunch and I'm back on the wagon...and know when the scale shows a gain later this week I have no one but myself to blame. OK enough of that vent...

Well while I was there I called and checked my voice mail. My boss called and said my 3 month leave paperwork is running out and he wants to know my intentions. I know what they are...1. I don't want to go back... 2. I want to be a SAHM and we've been getting by these past three months... 3. I don't want to go back and really I don't have to. My problem lies in how do I break this to him? What to say??? Hubs dad is going to chemo for 3 days every 3 weeks for aggressive chemo treatments and hubs is taking him. These are 10 hour days...if I was working what would my son be doing? I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna. I'm not having problems scrimping, saving and getting creative when it comes to meals....I just go that stinking, sinking feeling in my stomach. Any creative ways to say adios? I'm working on it today and going to call tomorrow.

Then last night I was going out to dance since our visit went to long and I missed our walk. Well the DJ stunk (it was karaoke) and we couldn't dance. Before I went though I had a heck of a time finding something I even felt the least bit comfortable in. I felt fat and ugly...annoyed as heck. I'm trying not to let this all get to me, staying out of the kitchen and drinking lots of water...

Tomorrow I hope is a better day...after I make that phone call of course...

Tuesday, February 3, 2009

Stocked...

Well today was a great scale day for everyone in the house...I got on and got a nice surprise...I was 207!!! Sweet. Yesterday for some reason that dastardly weapon of torture said I was 210. Hubs hasn't been trying to lose weight (trying in a sense that he's tracking and such) but with the food choices I have in the house he was absolutely elated that when he got on the scale it actually weighed him. He practically was doing a happy dance and is off to make phone calls and tell his mommy...LOL. He weighed in at 301 so he's super happy and on cloud nine. He jokingly calls me "The Food Nazi" (like the soup one)..."NO SNACKS FOR YOU". I commented that "I'm not so bad am I when the scales actually showing results"?

SUPERBOWL!!! What can I say? What a game...Happy Happy Joy Joy!!! Six Burg Steelers!!!

As for exercise...well went walking with my BFF yesterday at the mall and we're planning on walking AND dancing tonight. Good DJ at the local watering hole and some great friends to hang with...so I'm looking forward to it. We'll see in a few days what the scale has to say. MGD 64 all the way for me!!!

Hope the scale is good to ya'll this week!!! I'll post some helpful sites later when the nidge naps...

A very tasty dream...

I haven't really been dreaming a lot lately, which is rather weird because in the past have had very vivid and memorable dreams. Well yesterday I went very easy on the caffeine, stayed up a little too late reading blogs (finally got smart and subscribed to a reader today) and shut the curtains in my room. Well sometime last night I had a very real dream. I ate a whole kit kat bar!!! I could smell and taste it, feel the texture and I realllllly enjoyed it, savoring each and every bite!!! Well this morning when I was fixing my breakfast (scrambled egg sandwich and fiber 1 with bananas and almond milk) I went to journal the food and I thought...do I need to journal that kit kat bar? I honestly thought I'd eaten it!!! I could go on having dreams like this all the time!!! Maybe I could have one about some french fries, juicy burger with mayo, meatball hoagie...LOL...hey a girl can "DREAM".
