Strawberry Disgustingness 12 May 2010

Today for lunch I decided to venture out and try something new.  I’d participate in the green smoothie revolution sweeping the nation!  It was great! It was healthy!  It was GOOD FOR ME!

Um.  I fail.  I started with yogurt (soy, since my nursing infant is allergic to dairy), added some spinach, and then asked the dangerous question: “What else?”  Oh my fridge provided, yes it provided plentifully.  I dumped in fresh strawberries, baby carrots, sprouts, and a roma tomato.  Yes.  Yes, I did get a bit carried away.  Okay, fine.  A LOT carried away.  I was distracted by this romantic notion that my green smoothie was going to be a bit more V-8 like, and give me all my veggie servings for the day!  Hooray!

Sadly, it was disgusting.  Strawberry Disgusting in smoothie form.  Adding a bunch of sugar didn’t even help, and that’s saying something.

What a waste of strawberries and yogurt.  I’m sticking to regular smoothies from now on.  I LIKE the NON-GREEN!

Giggle 13 February 2010

Our cute little baby girl has the cutest giggle.  Baby laughter has got to be one of the best things to hear, especially when compared to the opposite that is screaming-their-head-off-and-you-dont-know-why.  Tonight as WW was changing WB’s diaper I heard some laughter so I quickly grabbed the camera and caught a few moments of this beautiful sound.  Here’s the clip, enjoy!

School makes you fat 16 January 2010

I just at an entire sleeve of oreos and drank a liter of caffeine free Coke.  Ugh.  So not cool.

But that’s what it takes to make it through a Economics Paper.  Ugh.  So not cool.

This is how school is hazardous to your health, and your measurements.

Leprechaun Birdies 1 October 2009

This morning I had this funny IM conversation with my brother-in-law:

HIM: duh, of course it’s gonna be boy.  a little leprechaun told me.

ME: how do the leprechauns know?

HIM: they read the horoscopes

ME: haha!  and how do you get in touch with the leprechauns?

HIM: they come to me.  it’s pretty normal actually.

So, again, the horoscopes and leprechauns have spoken!  I’m not sure how accurately they’ve spoken…but there you have it. 

Horoscopes 24 September 2009

My mother called a few days ago and to be funny left me the following voicemail message (paraphrased):

“I know you’re not due until next week, and all indications are that you’ll go beyond your due date, but I’ve decided you’re going to have your baby on the 25th.  See, I was reading today’s horoscopes and yours says to trust your instincts in meeting a new person on the 25th.  The only new person I can think that you’ll be meeting any time soon is your very own baby, and you’ll definitely need to trust your instincts on that.  So there you have it, prepare for a birth on the 25th when you’ll be meeting your baby for the first time.  haha.  Talk to you later!”

Thanks, mom.  I needed a laugh.  I’ll let you know how the introductions go…
