Femmecreole, that does sound really good. I have heard of doing similar stuff with butternut squash.

So... how is everyone doing at this hour? I'm so bored, so bored. So bored I'm chatting with my MOTHER on myspace, and that's sad. BF did come back, about 20 minutes ago... after being gone ALL DAY... only to have to go out again, to bring his friend his computer that he worked on a couple of days ago, and get his payment for it. Then he's got to go to ANOTHER guy's house and pick up his computer as well. It would be nice if he wasn't so busy all of the time lately.. but I know it's not his choosing. I feel like I'm always stuck in the house recently. He doesn't seem to understand that or look at things from my point of view.

Baby boy is crying for no discernable reason, I think I'm going to give him his bottle earlier and put him to bed.

It must be the day, Mel. DS is cranky as **** today....for whatever reason. He keeps telling me he has to poo...and then laughing when I put him on the potty. Nice game. He also is addicted to the popsicles that I made him earlier - white grape juice with red grapes and peaches. He stands in front of the freezer with his tongue out and yells "PPWWWWWWWWWWWWEASE!!!"

DH and I haven't done a thing all day...it is nice to have these days once in awhile, but I don't think I could do it all the time. It gets boring. We've been watching movies all day, and I've been posting and twittering all day. We tried going outside to play, but it is just toooooo hot. DS wanted to go inside after about 20 minutes.

It was a free for all for dinner tonight - leftovers from the night before. I'm going to watch Iron Chef at 8 and then Next FN Star afterwards.

Hopefully DS goes to sleep soon....

I used to watch those shows when we had cable. I like the Fieri guy, he's fat and jolly and cute-ish. I never got to see the next door gourmet or whatever it was, program, that they made for Amy whatshername who won last year. Or the year before, whenever it was. And on Iron Chef, they came up with the most ... imaginative... recipes. DS sounds adorable; can't wait till mine is that age, I'll bet that's when the real fun begins, heh. BTW: thanks for complimenting his name. I was dissapointed when I found out that creepy creature Tori Spelling had named her son the same.

Urgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh so tired of the boredom!!!!



OMG YOU GUYS: earlier I saw the world's most HUMONGOUS spider crawling all over the kitchen floor... seriously... at first I thought it was a mouse, it was THAT BIG, and the cats were after it... I almost had a panic attack because I have crazy arachnophobia. I put on some sandals to squash it but I couldn't bring myself to do it.. I was like, frozen with fear (what a wimp!). And that huge gargantuan thing ran under the stove. Haven't seen it emerge since then and I'm terrifed at the thought of that THING crawling on my son, or on me, in the middle of the night. I looked up what sort of spider it was... there's a page on termite.com or something that has a list identifying different sorts of spiders... and it looked in color to be something called some sort of grass spider... but it said those spiders only get so big... that spider must be a mutant then because it looked like it could not only eat mice but chomp on their bones. I've been scared and anxiety ridden since I've seen it, that may seem dramatic, I know, but I am deathly afraid of spiders... especially one THAT FREAKIN' HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked BF to move the stove and kill it ... I mean, where else could that huge thing have went? It must still be there? But he had all that stuff to do and off he went again. I willnotsleeptonightohnooo.

It is definitely fun when they can walk and talk....mini humans.

Amy Finley is the woman who won last year....I've seen her show once....it isn't that great. Something about her annoys me.

Spiders..ick. Before we moved into this house, we had the occasional roach. Scared the heck out of me. I closed off one entire section of the house when I saw one and DH wasn't home to kill it. Thankfully we don't really have many bugs in the house - aside from the occasional something to fly in.

Making more popsicles....DH wants jello made into popsicles....oy.

Hey Barb, I missed your post earlier, thanks for the advice! I've heard about the nail polish treatment, might try that if I can find my clear nail polish (I don't use it often). Only problem is it will take alot! BTW I don't remember if I mentioned it before but I made those fish tacos a couple of weeks ago and they were really good. Speaking of fish tacos reminds me, have we seen Kim around lately?

Just popping in to say hello to you all. I didn't have a lot of time to log on this weekend.

My weekend went well. I avoided all off-plan temptations. I just figured nothing was worth the risk of ruining my weight loss efforts. I'm in it for the long haul this time.

Anyway, may you all have a wonderful South Beach week!!
