Random Saturday

I had the most amazing, life changing piece of bread of my life.
Artichoke asiago pesto bread from Great Harvest.
I went it, stole a sample and didnt buy a thing.
I could die today and feel like I've lived after tasting it.

I'm never again buying boots at the beginning of the season.
I went to the mall yesterday and found $200 boots for $30.
And we are now a happy family.

I cant wait one more minute for spring to stay here for good.
Jackson has for the most part been the healthiest kid this winter,
but lately he's been on a cold run.
And I can't sleep if he's sick.
Is that just me?

The forecast called for rain today but its sunny as all get out outside.
Daybreak lake walk?
why yes, thank you!

My house needs spring cleaning.
But I don't do well at cleaning one thing at a time.
I have no patience.
Cleaning house = one day or I freak.
So we just have a messy house instead.
yay.

Life Lesson of the Day

Got back from New York last night.

It was so fun.

It's a city full of life.

I walked so much I pulled something on my leg.

And every night we would get back to the apartment,

I wanted to cry from the pain.

But I toughed it up.

Life Lesson: Wait until you are no longer pregnant to go to NY.

Later on, I might write a post on Things Noticed While on Vacation and Pregnant.

Maybe.

It's bad and you and I know it.

When we go to redbox and there is nothing decent to watch,

James will usually let me choose

the most horrible movie I can find.

We always get really excited,

thinking that it will be so good because it's SO bad,

and after losing 50% of our brain cells

and suffering through atrocious special effects,

we realize we were yet again wrong.

Life Lesson: If it looks bad, it usually is bad.

Pathetic cannot begin to describe it.

Last night, I had to spend the night without James.

It was scary and I almost didn't make it.
Then I got a genious idea:
make a James out of pillows and a shirt he left on our bed.

I fell asleep seconds later.

Life Lesson: Never sleep without him again,
or make sure to have materials to make a fake James.
Then, don't tell people because they may think you're pathetic.

This is what happens when I think with my belly instead of my head

True Story

I had been craving this recipe.

At the botton it said it would cook in 20 minutes.

I was hungry, I didn't read anything else.

Long story short, we ended up eating at 10.

but the recipe was delicious.

And maybe if i had read the instructions,

I would have planned for a lengthier process.

Anyway, tomorrow I will post the recipe.

And you MUST try.

Specially if you're in the mood of using lots of fresh veggies.

But don't make it if you're planning on 20 minutes.

Your husband will die of hunger,

And you will feel really bad at his funeral.

Life Lesson Learned: Do not trust my instincts.

Read books instead.
