Freecycling Maniac

Posted by on March 15, 2007 2 Comments

Gotta love Freecycle. If you aren’t a freecycl-er you need to become one. Ill admit, 100 Miles freecycle group isn’t very big yet, but its getting better. Its this group set out of Yahoo, where you offer things you have to give away for free. Ive got a fee boxes of baby clothes and other cool stuff too. Today I replied to a lady and lent her some maternity clothes. Its nice to be able to help each other out free of cost. If I never see the clothes again…well at least I wont have them in my house forever.

I’m slowly making the transition to all my own food for Emily. I found this cool book at the library that gives alot of good recipes for making baby food.I didn’t sign the book out tho cause I had late fees and no moneys with me. I’m going to go back tomorrow and get it. I think we are pretty close to using all our own food. Ill be glad to see the end of the jars. They aren’t exactly cheap either. I really like to know what I’m feeding Emily. I’m skeptical of jarred food.

I made it to the gym this morning!Yay. Ive been sick and then busy and then a day or two of lazy so I hadn’t been in a while. I was pretty happy because altho I hadn’t been eating amazing I did still lose a couple of pounds over the weekend. 12 to go until goal 4. I’m excited that all my hard work is paying off. I think it even convinced my mom to join the gym too. Total since Jan 1st 35lbs. Total since Christmas 42lbs!!um…yay me.

Toy Soup

Posted by on March 10, 2007 4 Comments

This morning Emily was being particularly whiny. I’m not sure what to do about whining if its just whining for no good reason. I was trying to be attentive and sensitive to her needs, but since I couldn’t figure out what she needed I just decided she needed me. So we played with a big pot. I let her hit it with a big spoon which is her new favorite toy. She crawls around everywhere with her spoon. She even tried to go up the stairs with it. I filled the pot with her toys and we made toy soup. I was trying to get her to stir the pot, but she was more interested in just hitting stuff. I even got the occasional smack by accident.

Only 2 more shows left in the play. I don’t think I’ve blogged about it at all so here’s the catchup stuff. I’m running Lights for the Community Theatre production of “Annie Get Your Gun”. Its been pretty good. The cast has been really high energy and even the mess ups have been really funny. We’ve been sold out every night. We are even going to put on a Sunday Matinee as an extra show. I’m looking forward to the play being over. I like doing it, but I get so busy that I don’t have any time for anything else.

I only made it to the gym 3 times this weeks. I ended up going to the Dr. again. My lungs still aren’t clearing up. I had to get a puffer and some extreme cough medicine. I think I’m feeling better today, but now Emmy is coughing even more. I think her coughing just woke her up. Poor little tike.

Sick Pickle

Posted by on February 26, 2007

I’m feeling rather disappointed today because I was supposed to be off to Vernon for a couple of days, but no go poe.I didn’t sleep well last night because I started getting a sore throat yesterday and it got worse by the minute. I went to the Dr. today to see If I was contagious because my Gramma and my Aunt both have bad immune systems and if theres one thing I don’t like to share its a cold.So Flu it is. Grr. I’m not happy about it at all. I think Emily has it too, but she is getting over it and I’m on the upswing. Stupid flu. Now I’m contemplating whether I should have gotten my flu shot or not. My Dr. said it wasn’t necessary. Its not the needle that bugs me its taking so many drugs that nothing will work anymore. The whole super bug thing scares me.
Morgan will be home soon and then I can go to bed. I’m not even really that tired, but I just feel icky all over. I think Ill go make some tea. Honey isn’t exactly on my diet, but it makes my throat feel better.
I guess the one good thing about not going to Vernon is that I could maybe check out my new gym sooner. I guess it will depend how I feel. I’m feeling pretty nervous about going. What if I don’t like the resistance machines? What if they wont let me listen to my iPod? what if the same mean lady who talked to me last year still works there? What if I hate it? What if I stop going? What if I get all flabby again? What if I fit my fat pants again? ok no! I’m not quitting no matter what. If I have to hire a personal trainer and only eat lettuce for the next 10 years I’m not quitting! I’m no quitter!
