When you make a PB&J sandwich....do you a) use two different utensils..one for PB and one for J, b) clean off utensil after PB and then use it for J OR c) Don't bother with either and just dig right in both? I only ask this because this has caused a "discussion" in my house between me and Rick (Hubby). Yesterday he made a PB&J sammie and he got jelly in my peanut butter!!!! Yes, he cross-contaminated! UGH! I just think that is WRONG on sooo many levels. What do you think?
I am about to start writing for grants...even borrowed the book, 'Grant writing for Dummies'...lol This should be interesting, heck...the worst thing is that they can say NO..right?
I am really trying to give up the soda/pop....I'm trying to give up processed foods....I gave up smoking, so I figure I should be able to do this, right? And, I will admit, I still have urges for a smoke, but I have not been giving in. :)
I am redoing my 40th birthday this year...I was not able to pull together what I wanted to do for my 40th and really, had no one to help...so, I am starting early this year and will be recruiting some to help me pull it all together. I figure, if I deserve one birthday to be how I want it to be, it is my 40th..dang it. lol And, I'm not looking for a huge party.,...just some of us getting together and maybe taking off for a day/night in Chicago. My bday is in June, so its perfect weather for a trip like that and it is still close enough to home in case there is an emergency. (I'm only an hour away from Chicago)
I think that drinking too much diet pop and processed foods may have been irritating my Lupus, and the Dr seems to agree...I really hope that we can get that under control. I hate it now, more than ever, since it went systemic on me. BUT, if there is a way to beat it back, I will find the way. :)
I worry about my son....I hate that he has put himself in a type of Limbo...no school and no job right now. I just worry about him and pray he starts to make better choices for his life. It's funny, today my daughter asked me where she would go if she was a minor and her dad and I died. We talked a bit about it and she then asked me if she would go live with her brother....I told her no, because she would end up raising him. At first I thought it was funny...but the more I thought about it, it was the actually truth. Yup, I worry about my son.
I'm over this cold and snow crap outside. Mother Nature needs to get back on her meds and figure this crap out and SOON! I am way beyond being ready for spring. lol I am starting to plan out my garden, I cannot wait to be able to get out and play in the dirt again. ;) Do you garden? If so, what's big and whats not...I mean, what works for you and what have you found doesn't? I need some tips. :)
I hope you all have a wonderful day and I appreciate you sticking around while I rambled today. :)
