Gage

So after only two days on antibiotics his shoulders are feeling much better. I am so glad we found out what is wrong with him!

28 days

So, I really wasn't prepared for the message I got tonight saying that Gage tested positive for Lyme Disease.

He starts Doxycycline tomorrow, twice a day for 28 days.

28 days. Is a long time.

The Indestructible Goldfish A.K.A. Lisa and Swimmy

So apparently they're not indestructible. Cause they're dead. Both of them. I came up from doing laundry and they were both floating belly up. The super dirty bowl might have had something to do with it. Or the fact that one of us usually forgets to feed them. But I'm gonna say that it was the fact that they were like 350 years old in fish years.

I would bet my entire fortune (roughly $50 at the moment) that neither of the kids will notice until some time next week, maybe not even that soon.

Too Much Togetherness

So sometimes being with the one you love is just plain annoying. Doesn't mean you don't love them. Just means THEY NEED TO GO TO WORK.

Reasons I Am Not A Great Vegetarian

So I thought I should share that there is not enough mustard in the universe to make SmartFood "protein links" taste anything like a hot dog. It's like Tofu crossed with Vienna Sausages, same taste and texture. Disgusting.

Oh and Tofu...you can suck it. I obviously have no idea how to prepare you because you always turn out the same. A soft/mushy/spongy/tasteless blob. We're finished.

Boca and Morningstar Farms are saving me from giving in and eating a big ol' juicy burger. Not that their stuff tastes like real meat either but at least you can chew it. That's something.

Oh and I guess I'm not a real vegetarian because I am eating fish. And can I just say that if I wasn't eating fish I think I would have perished by now. Seriously. Well not seriously but my family might have killed me for all the bitching and complaining I was doing so you see why I need the fish.

Also, I really miss sugar. Did I mention that I'm not eating processed foods? I miss them. A veggie tray is not nearly as appealing as a box of Girl Scout cookies but while my family enjoyed their Thin Mints and Samoas I sat by picking broccoli out of my teeth.

In case you were wondering...I'm really happy with my decision to completely change my lifestyle and eating habits. I'm happy about what it's done for my health (I dropped my total cholesterol by 30 points). That does not mean that I won't complain about it though.

Obviously.

Currently Obsessed With...

So when I find a song that I like I play the hell out of it, just ask anyone that lives in this house. Currently obsessed with Adele. Obsessed. Love her!

I'm the same with food. Currently obsessed with parmesan crusted tilapia.

Kind of getting out of control with shoes. Currently obsessed with heels, the higher the better.

I stopped drinking pop and coffee and started drinking tons of water. Currently obsessed with sugar free tropical punch flavor packets.

Getting ready for Spring. Of course that means I need a new wardrobe. Currently obsessed with online shopping. Oh lord...I can't stop. They make it far too easy.

Now if I could just get obsessed with working out again...

Date Night = NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!

So it's Friday, we have actual plans, like for real reservations. Gage is gone and Layla has a sleepover planned.

We should NEVER plan anything. It never works. I'm guessing it will be years before it ever does.

Layla is burning up and has been sleeping most of the day. There is no sleepover happening for her anytime soon.

I guess I can date my husband when the kids are grown.
