it's a good thing i never grew up on 'veggie tales' or i might feel a little guilty

well, so far so good-i have not hurt anyone.

since i decided on the no more diet coke, i also decided to get back on my diet...it's game time ya'all! went to sprouts on saturday and it was good to get back into the groove! yesterday i made my meals for the week-i'll be partaking of a taco-ish salad, lettuce wraps, tahini-tomato stuffed chicken breast, bun-less burgers...i got it covered!

lots of veggies and fruits

i had to throw out a bunch of stuff that i know i cannot have, so that i won't be tempted by it! tomorrow i will have test #1: they provide the best catered meals for our tues. night ed-policy class! i will take my meal with me and pretend that it is whatever they are having!

the boys are pretty excited about the new meal plan because they really like carrots and apples. silly boys.

and another fun little treat was the groupon that i took advantage of today-a little facial and massage action! woo hoo! (i really don't treat myself often enough) i feel relaxed just thinking about it! it was hard to pass up because it was so cheap!

i would like to take just a moment to recognize the passing of one of america's great mousekateer icons, annette funicello.

as well, may margaret thatcher rest in peace! the iron lady-with a will of steel; such a determined ally in step with president reagan. when i was mentioning thatcher and reagan to the boys, they got all excited, because they were thinking of the politicians' namesakes, b-mayes' boys, up in wyoming. they miss getting together to play! then i started to explain the powerful duo and first chaco walked away, then bruno after feigning interest for about 30 seconds, yawned and went to the screen door to enjoy the breeze (as opposed to the hot air). they have no idea!
