I found out today that we are not traveling for Thanksgiving. That means I get to make dinner, which is probably a good thing. I’ve returned to some bad eating habits, and I need to correct this. Thanksgiving won’t help that. America’s typical Thanksgiving dinner is–hmmm, polite words, hmm…nope, can’t find any–atrocious*. Here’s what I’m [...]

We went out last night for a family dinner at FreeState. While we were walking down Mass heading to our car– which was parked no where near FreeState–Ada took in the usual street performers. And by took in, I mean she got right up with a group and danced. And one danced with her. It [...]

I have 3.5 hours until the gun goes off. Mac earned Extra Special Husband Points: He made me a salad for lunch. With salmon. Yes, he grilled salmon, the stuff he can’t stand smelling. He even found a bottled vinaigrette that I could eat–no added sugars, HFSC, wheat or soy. It was made out of [...]

I’m really freakin’ close to rationalizing my way into eating rice. And naan. And pakoras. I gained a little over 4 lbs in one day*, and I swear it is all in my thighs. I cannot even stand to wear my jeans. You know, the one that I was close to taking off without unbuttoning. [...]

Warning, this is going to contain the “D” word. I had to retrieve Ada from school early on Monday because she had diarrhea. Once. She never had it again, and was fine not only the rest of the day Monday, but also all day Tuesday. I’m fine bringing her home because they swim and you [...]
