You wouldn' t think I would have anything to complain about on this new diet which has sluffed off 11 1/2 lbs this week alone (water weight) and let me eat rice, beans and potatoes after years of trying lo-carb. But already I find myself tired of the same ole rice, etc... so off to the store I go tomorrow to spice up our food repertoire. In the meantime, DH (who is on a lo carb diet) brought home a bread mix for the breadmaker. Wheat bread. I CAN HAVE WHEAT BREAD! It's low in fat too! I cooked it, we all checked on it frequently, since you could smell it throughout the house. We impatiently waited the 10 mins to let it 'calm down' as DD Sophia said. She even got UP out of bed to come claim her piece. I cut it in the 12 servings it says to cut it in for carb/fat ratios, slathered honey on a piece for Sophia. It's heaven. Heaven on a napkin. I heaped sugar free seedless blackberry jam on my piece. Can you say HEAVEN!?!
In case you missed my obscure mention in a previous post about me hosting a fabric swap at Swap-Bot, here is all the info. Hope you will join me.Description:Wouldn't it be fun to swap fall colored fabrics & a little bit of trim? Colors will be Green, Brown, Cranberry, Orange and/or Golden Yellow. Any combination of these colors. There should be 5 fabrics of at least 18" x 22" in size and 1 which is 1 meter long (1.09yard) - (please keep the original width.) Also add at least 2 yards of pretty fall ribbon, lace, old trim or ric rac (not cheap stuff, this is to be nice trim/ribbons.) Trims can be in lengths of 1/2 yard and up (totaling at least 2 yards.)On the 'sign up by' day you will be randomly given a person to send your items to along with their address for mailing.Sign up by: August 21Sent swap items by: September 9
USA and International Swappers welcome!
Friday (I won't say 'today' since it's technically Saturday by the time I post this) was my DD Sophia's 7th birthday. I meant to get on here and post this before midnight came but the day was a flurry of toys, dolls, books, brownies, dinner out and going to the Cars movie. Whirlwind day of fun. Isn't she beyond adorable?! (Her sis, Alex is holding her in the 1st pic.)
1999 - now...
From 0 to 7 years old in a matter of minutes...Happy birthday my babe. May your life be full of unexpected pleasures, creativity and happiness!
