it is all about the side dishes

honestly I like turkey, ham or whatever sort of meat/protein product is served at a holiday meal but my favorite part of any large meal is the side dishes. This year I panned on contributing 2 sides and a dessert but I keep adding side dishes that I really want....corn bread thingy, roasted cauliflower, creamed spinach, glazed carrots....oh my too many ideas swirling about and not enough time. And I have not even started considering dessert recipes yet

random holiday thoughts

-tree is going up this weekend
-really really really want to buy a pink or white tree...maybe I'll wait till after holiday clearance sales
-one of these years I really want to host a cookie exchange....do I know anyone who bakes?
-sending out cards this year come hell or high water! I love getting Christmas cards and it's a wonder we get any I am so lame about sending them out
-kinda sorta feel the need for a tacky holiday sweater this year
-holiday sweater vests are truly awful

tricky business

trying to fall asleep yet fighting falling asleep just in case you wake up feeling lousy again....

mom jeans

I must admit I still am not so clear on what constitutes mom jeans but whatever I am a mom I like wearing jeans and luckily have a job that lets me wear jeans. This losing weight trip means that jeans I could not bear to part with fit again, including my favorite favorite purple jeans which strike me as not mom jeans but I digress...my favorite regular blue jeans no longer fit they are too big and of course they do not have belt loops so off to the donation pile they go!

omlets all around!

while I really love having a source for fresh eggs we now have 4 dozen on hand

how many points does that equal?

let me start out with a warning this post is gonna be gross if you are delicate of nature go on ahead and click that next blog button.....no really go ahead

Alrighty then I have been doing the weight watchers thing for a few months now and the basis for the uninitiated is to give a point value to foods & exercise and you track all that to help in weight loss. So last nights migraine followed by severe barfing how does one track that? It was physical of sorts at least certain muscles this morning seem to think so and cleaning out the contents of my stomach should have a negative point tracking of sorts should it not?

random factoid of the day

graham crackers taste better just a little stale...in my opinion. Finding the pack in the trash must mean my husband does not agree

have I been replaced with a pod person?

-setting my alarm to get up early and go to the Y? on my day off no less?!
-making my mind up that I am going to skip water aerobics after a late night at work and getting up to go anyway
-leisurely Sunday morning...BEFORE coffee I went for a brisk walk around the park
clearly I am not myself and for once it is a good thing
