Trying to get the feeling again…

Hi, my name is Bobbie and I am a Jello junkie.  I just made chocolate (sugar free of course) pudding and raspberry gelatin (SF).  I did keep my grubby hands off the Good N Plenty’s at the grocery store as I stocked up on the J-E-L-L-O.  And Ann, I did get butterscotch but haven’t made that up yet.  ;  ) I also bought red grapes, blueberries, and red pears to munch on as well.  Of course there is the apples, bananas, and green pears too.  But those are so standard and not as exciting.  I looked at the strawberries but they were sad looking so I passed on them.  To balance out the fruit, I bought cucumbers, radishes, carrots, and tomatoes.   I have the scale out on the counter along with the blender, all bright, shiny and new looking.  Although looking at it right now, I may have to switch things around… You know ladies, as I was grocery shopping, I was thinking about us.  And you know what, I think we have made incredible progress over the past several months.  I know for myself,  I have completely given up white powered donuts and I used to eat those by the box full.  Not the cute little 6 pack.  The entire frackin’ box!   I hardly have a drink anymore.  Not that I was ever a big drinker but if I thought I could drink less, I am.   I totally wanted to carb out tonight because I was just fried and irritated.  But I didn’t.  I did eat a hot pocket and oven fries but that is so much better than the McDonald’s Double Cheese and large fries I would have eaten.  So here’s to us and the changes we have made.  Please pat yourself on the back right now as I can’t reach you.

I have also started drinking Chai tea.  Yummy!  Where has that been hiding?  I got one of those coffee machines that makes one cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, or cappuccino.  I don’t drink coffee, but hubby does and he is allowed one cup of caffeine a day.  He agreed to the machine and it is great for me.  I bought all these teas and even decaf cappuccino.  Sure, I could boil water and soak the bag… but since we have the machine, I thought I would try the teas.  I love the Chai that’s all I have to say.  In fact, it helps when I have the Good N Plenty crave.  Damn Good N Plenty’s! I need to unload the dishwasher and the dryer and the washer.  I vacuumed the front porch today.   Got tired of the leaves and spiderwebs.  Got hubby’s ShopVac out and took it out front.  Sucked up everything that wasn’t nailed down.  Looks good.  Come to find out he blows it off and then mows it up with the mower.  LOL!  With this storm and it being winter, that isn’t going to happen anytime soon.  He hasn’t mowed since October.  Anyway, it was fun vacuuming and I shall do it again.  The cats got out of my way.  I think they thought they might be sucked up too.

Good night sweet chicks.  Sweet dreams
