I love you, I really do. But this whole full time employment thing is really putting a damper on my recreational time, and my employer doesn't see the benefit in permitting employees to access Twitter or Facebook, so I haven't even tried Blogger.
Nadine and Nathan got married and we took advantage of their photographer, who took this beautiful shot of the little girls.
Things I'm doing...
- pre-washing and cutting veggies - Kristen, I store them in glass lidded containers. I find vegetables get really gross in ziplock bags, and I don't like my food sitting in plastic in any event. P.S. Sorry for rejecting your comment. I'm a spaz.
- NOT WORKING OUT which really sucks - I'm so tired in the mornings that I just can't get my ass out of bed and into the gym. Mostly because I'm staying up late doing the stuff I like.
- strangely, losing weight anyway. Getting out of the house for 35 hours a week is great for me - less boredom and less snacking. I'm down a couple of sizes and actually stepping up my calories a little bit because I don't want to get too skinny.
- organizing my house! Yay! We got new furniture for the living room and I looked around at the clutter and had a meltdown. Got rid of 3 massive garbage bags of clothing as well as a couple of boxes of garbage and a ton of recyclables. The girls' dresser has been emptied of outgrown clothes, inventoried and re-organized. All the yarn (mostly) is downstairs. In other developments, I'm now only allowed to knit one project at a time. Until I finish it. Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts because
- Yarn on the way!! Laines Magnifiques, cestari trim for my Mosaic Moon yarn that came in, and also some really cool Montreal Canadiens sock yarn for a surprise for Dan.
- God I need to start Christmas knitting.
- I ordered these for christmas gifts for the kids, along with tutus for Katja and Amelia. Christmas shopping for the little kids is complete, save for a even-up gift for Levi. Piece o' cake
- Got my knitting needles all organized. Then lost them. I am seriously worried they're in the autobin (dumpster). In which case I am out like $400 worth of needles. ARGH.
- next project is organizing my yarn. I can't wait - I love my yarn so much. I adore going through my stash. Although it is alarming how many hours I need in order to work it all up vs. how many hours I'm actually going to have to knit. I need a job where I can knit and work.
- pumping milk for Anika - she just turned 6 months old and is just tasting a few solids, but is not really ready (although she is sitting up quite nicely for 10-15 seconds at a time now. And has two teeth. They grow up so fast! Anyway, coming home at lunch won't be enough for her for a few more months when she's actually eating. Right now I have to make about 12 oz a day to keep up with her (we nurse at lunch too) - she's a pretty big eater. She eats a lot at night still too - (see paragraph on weight loss)
That's about it. I'm sure I'm missing a zillion things, but that's mostly it.
Hmm - random - meal plan this week - Mon roast beef (crockpot), Tues pork chops, applesauce, mashed potatoes and gravy (broccoli for veg), Wed shepherd's pie, Thurs pad thai (I think).

Can I come to your house for dinner? Ugh, I try to meal plan ahead of time, but it usually nets me a "We're having WHAT?!" response ...
Oohhhh, I hate that. I've assigned the next week's meal plan to whomever had the gall to complain. So far it's working.
Thanks - Lost track of blogs for a while, but have been meaning to follow you up for the vegie tips :). I use Pyrex dishes with glass lids for freezing food but hadn't thought of them for cut vegies ... might not be a safe option with my crew.
Love the meal plan!
