So, does anyone else have Leprechauns that visit their house on St. Pattys?  ;-)

DS6 was determined to catch one this year (they always do silly things like turn our milk and juice green, and turn furniture upside down, etc.).  He said he was going to build a trap, and then when he got one, he would have him show us where the pot of gold is kept.  :lol:  So, he took a pitcher and laid a paper towel across the top, with one of DD’s rings (because they like gold) so that when the little leprechaun goes to steal the ring, he would fall into the pitcher.  He even dres a “trail of shamrocks” to lure him in.  How smart is that?

Unfortunately, DS did not catch a leprechaun.  But, he was very excited because they left little green footprints all over the place, and inside the pitcher they left him and DD6 each a gold coin (one of those gold dollars)!!  ;-)

Yesterday both food and exercise were great.  I made this pasta that has eggplant and peppers roasted, then sausage and onions, a little tomato paste …. yum!  It was really great and the kids all ate it!  Next time, I would definitely double the veggies.  I have a ton of leftovers though, definitely was enough for two meals.  I did my Firm Dangerous Curves.  That is two days of weights in a row, so today will be some sort of cardio only or possibly yoga/pilates and treadmill combo.

Today’s Food:

B: Nutrigrain LF waffles, strawberries, light syrup, coffe

L: Mexican tortilla veggie chick soup, crackers

S: Apple

D: Leftover eggplant pasta stuff, or tilapia and save leftovers for tomorrow, not sure

Exercise as listed above

So, kids are going to XH’s this weekend and I don’t want to jinx it, but for those of you who know me for years from the journals … this is like his 4th on schedule weekend in a row which is unheard of for him!  Lol.  Unfortunately, I have nothing at all planned this weekend, and no-one around to do anything with.  Oh well.  If the weather is nice, I am going to take a ride up to Mohonk and do one of the hikes myself.  That will be nice and peaceful.  And there is always more yard work to be done.

It is nice and quiet, the boss is at one of his town-related meetings.  He should be back any minute though.  Better publish and go comment!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
