Random Life News
I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like mostly because things are super busy around here, but also becasue my life is more boring than normal at the moment. I have been having a lot of extra work hours because of vacations. Good because of the extra money, bad because I'd like to get more than 5 hours of sleep once in a while. At least it's a holiday weekend coming up.
After a much too long sabbatical, I'm following Weight Watchers again. That's taking some getting used to, but mostly I feel good because I'm eating less junk. Much easier to avoid the vending machine when your choice may use up half of your point allotment for the day. Brent finally hit 50 lbs. lost too - I'm so proud of him!
I was going to write a whole post devoted to how I tried Diet Coke Plus - the new Coke beverage with vitamins. But I can pretty much sum it up in two sentences. It did not taste like Coke or Diet Coke. It gave me a headache and kind of made me ill. As much as a Coke addict I am, I was ashamed to throw half the bottle away, but it was really that bad.
Hmm, what else is new? I am making Pad Thai for dinner tonight. Did I link to the recipe here before? Even if I didn't, it's so yummy, it bears a repeat - so here it is - Pad Thai for Beginners via Chez Pim
Last week was my mom's birthday - happy birthday a little late, mom! Her birthday gift has not arrived yet. I have been very bad ordering online lately. I don't think her mother's day gift has arrived yet either. And I apologize in advance to Lincoln, because I have a feeling his birthday gift will be late also - but I don't think he'll notice much :)
Since I have nothing interesting to say - I'll link to some interesting blog posts I have enjoyed lately
- My problem with prayer via Internet Monk
- Grace is as dangerous as ever via Internet Monk
- Thoughts that come when immediate gratification is gone via No Impact Man
Stillness (on being a Stay at Home Mom) via Close to Home
And a comic about how to be environmentally friendly the easy way - here

Haha..... Lincoln has no clue what's going on. I'm already planning to take most of his gifts away after he opens them and bring them out one at a time. A late gift will only help! :) So you can just act like it was part of the plan.
i read the comic on how to be environmentally friendly the easy way... it's hilarious. i think that might be my new dream job, being paid to stay in bed.
