Vegetarian again!

June 25, 2005 Leave a Comment

Ahhh, yet again I am vegetarian. I am so fickle with this! I feel really good today though, and I always prefer the way that I feel when I’m veg. I also hate it when I start back up on meat, and yet I do it. The same thing happens with sodas. They don’t even taste good when I go back to drinking them, and yet I do it from time to time. I’m so silly.

For lunch I made Spaghetti with Peanut Sauce from vegweb. I love that site! The recipes are soooo good! For breakfast I had eggs and toast and then for dinner I had a salad and yellow rice with black beans. The black beans were organic and from Wild Oats and were REALLY yummy.

I’m almost done with my scarf that I’m knitting. I need to get batteries for my digital camera so that I can post pics. I’m very proud of myself!

I had a bit of a panic attack last night, and I don’t know why. I wasn’t even worried about anything. This morning I did my ashtanga yoga and I felt better. I did a modified primary series, and I was definitely more relaxed by the end. I’m just frustrated that it happened since it had been about a month since it last happened. It seems to be related to my hormonal cycles. (sigh) Its very annoying.

M and J are doing great. They are growing up so quickly. Today J started saying “Uh Oh!”, which is really cute. She still says f*ck instead of “flag”, and it keeps catching me off guard when she screams it out, lol. She really makes a hard “k” sound at the end, so its really jarring to hear! We were in line at Chick-fil-A the other day and the cashier was going on about how beautiful J is (grin) and then J yells “F*CK!” and points. The girl and I both looked shocked and then I saw they had a huge American flag hanging in the back of the store. LOL. Its really embarassing. She’s done it a few times here at the house and I’ve whipped my head around, thinking she was cussing, only to see her pointing at a flag, lol.

Well, on that note, I’m off to finish my knitting! Good night )

Knitting adict

I think I’m becoming addicted to knitting. Its my newest obsession P For some reason I had knit plenty in the past, but it never grabbed my attention like it has recently. I’m currently working on a scarf and about to start a purse. I’ll post pictures when I get the chance!

My fingers hurt… again!

Hehe, that always makes me think of the line from Happy Gilmore ;)

Anyways, the reason that they hurt is because I spent at least an hour or 2 playing guitar today. It felt so great. I really miss playing. Hopefully now that the kids are getting older, I’ll be able to get more practice time in. I can actually play with them awake or asleep, whereas before they’d wake up if they heard it and they’d climb on me if they were awake, so there was no time that worked.

I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to lead worship for our Life Group next fall, and I have a more long-term goal of playing with the praise band at church. I’ve performed in church before, but never anything this big. It’d be a real stretch, but something that I’d love to do. As far as the Life Group goes, I could lead it tonight if I had to, since it’ll only be us and a couple of other couples. )

I’m super pooped today. Joe let me sleep in until 7:30, but for some reason I still feel really exhausted. I think I’m going to go grab him by the ear and drag him upstairs (j/k). I always end up being the one saying “Can we PLEASE go to bed?!” and then he says that he was just waiting for me to ask and would’ve gone up an hour or more earlier. Rawr! So frustrating P That’s OK, I still love him more than anything else in the world, so I guess I’ll deal with it!

Good night, everyone!

My fingers hurt.

Today was a nice day. We had a guy come out to try to sell us an air conditioner. Its so tough. They keep pushing these heat pump systems that both cool and heat your house. They claim we’ll save $800 a year in utilities. The stuff online seems to back that up, but I’m still skeptical. It will cost $1600 more, so according to them, we’ll be making money after 2 years… I don’t know. We can’t decide.

My fingers are sore because I’ve been testing my blood sugar. Its been perfect every time. I even just ate a few chocolate covered strawberries, and it was still only 91. I guess my blood sugar is under control after all (shrug)

I’m feeling pretty great today after the long run yesterday, but I’m still totally up in the air about TNT. I don’t know if I want to run a full marathon on my own, a half on my own, or a full or half with TNT. My running partner was injured yesterday, so I’m praying that she heals quickly and I won’t be left running alone, augh!

Well, its time to put M to bed. J has been down for a while. She’s such a great sleeper!

Have a great night, everyone!

Mmm, chewy!

My family is in love with this recipe for Chewy Granola Bars from the Laine’s Letters site. They’re really good )

After re-reading a few of her letters, I felt a little guilty yesterday. My main source of guilt is that Joe usually gets up with the kids in the morning. Even if its only 15 minutes or a half hour before I wake up, its sooo nice. My dad used to get up with me when I was younger, and I loved those special times that we had together. Even still, Laine’s writing made me think that I’m missing out or less spiritual because I don’t get up before the sun. I don’t know what I think yet…

Aside from the guilt, I decided to implement a few of her suggestions, like working before playing. This morning I made sure my house was picked up and my daily chores were done before I went on GCM. I think that’s probably wise.

I’m supposed to go running this afternoon. We need to make up for the long run that we missed earlier this week, but it looks really rainy outside. We’ll see what I can do…

I’ll try to update later!
