* My Turn? *

Wednesday, October 26, 2005

Thank you to everyone for sharing all your experiences and advice. I hear the lunch meat thing too Ju! I'm a subway addict and I kicked it when I found out I was prego then once we lost the baby, I started eating it every day! I LOVE Subway! I've now just decided to try and make them healthier...wheat bread...spinach instead of lettuce...and cucumbers instead of pickles. ( LOL, you're from CT right? Do you still call them "grinders"? That was something Ian and I had to get used to when we first moved to CT from NY. One of our first nights here we had asked someone where we could go to grab something quick to eat and they said,

"Well, that place over there has some really good grinders."

LOL We were like what the hell?

Ian:"What is he talking about?"
Me:"....Grinders?"
Ian:"....Like for meat?"
Me:"A meat grinder?"
Ian:"What?"
Me:"Do they make good sausage or something?"

LMAO! We get it now! lol. I love when we go home now and we'll say something about a grinder to our family and they start having the same thought process...lol.)

Back on topic....Like Jewl said, I know that I am in a good place...I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. I've been taking my prenatal vitamins since April. I'm not over weight. I don't even drink Coffee or soda! I'm a milk or juice kind of girl, and sometimes sweet tea. But...I live on chocolate milk!! It's my favorite! I have it every morning, and sometimes when I get home too. Plus I love junk food! Don't get me wrong, I love health stuff too, there isn't a veggie or a fruit that I would pass up...but I need my sweets! For example....last night I stopped by the grocery store on my way home to get some food to make dinner(yeah that's right...I MADE dinner! Again! Yay me! LOL) So I park at the new end that has this awesome new produce department (Our grocery store is in the process of remodeling) I get the organic lettuces (is lettuces a word?....um...lettuci?Lettuce? Ahhhh, I don't know!) some organic baby spinach, grape tomatos, and a cucumber. Grab some sugar free dressing (this was totally by acident! I didn't see the great big SUGAR FREE on the label! LOL I hate, hate, hate artifical sweetners, they make me literally sick....but, off topic again....I'll move on) get some meat to cook up, and Emeril's rosemary & garlic marinade (My favorite!) Grab some soda for Ian (He's on a "no beer" diet, thanks to me and the baby makin' LOL, Thanks Ian for being such a good sport! lol) and some oj for me....all good so far right? Well, here it comes....the oj is in the same isle as the ice cream! What's a girl to do? Well, there is also all the JELL-O pudding snacks there too so I opted for a pack of those instead of the ice cream(I'm thinking good choice...?) Well, then I start thinking and Ian has been saying, for about 2 or 3 nights in a row that he wishes we had cookies...soooo....I go over to the cookie cooler (you know, the pre-made cookie dough) and much to my surprise they are on sale for 2 for $4!! Yippeee! Well...I could only get one for $2...but which one? Chocolate chip or the peanut butter with the mini Reese's Pieces? Ohhhh, decisions decisions......ahhh screw it "I'm getting both!" And I did...and I ate both! Well, only one cookie of each kind....moderation right? Good for me I thought.....

On another note...I changed my song again...this one is "Who I am" by Jessica Andrews. I love this song. I think of it as a song about me, except when I'm singing along, in the car I have to change the chorus. So if you'd like to sing along with me, this is how it goes....
"I am Cath-er-ine's granddaughter, spitting image of my mother, and when the day is done my Daddy's still my biggest fan."

Enjoy!
