I Mean Seriously......


I mean, I'm not one to get into the political debate. I loved Sarah Palin. Wasn't too big on McCain, but......This guy. This guy is the scum bag of the earth.

Wife dying of cancer, running for the President of the U.S....Two young children...and you go and have an affair, make a raunchy tape, and then MAKE a baby!!! seriously....... I have no more words for this guy. Unbelievable.

Say Cheese



I've been thinking about giving up dairy.

Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I may just do it this time. The ONE thing that is holding me back is cheese......I love me some cheese. Goat cheese in particular. But also Cream Cheese, Parmesan, Feta, Blue, Cheddar....you name the cheese. I love it.

I also love some half and half....and whole milk.

But I also really enjoy soy milk. And I like non dairy creamer in my coffee, so I don't think it would be that hard of an adjustment for me.

I was allergic to milk when I was a baby. I eventually out grew my allergy, but sometimes I wonder if it is still the cause of many of the issues I have with allergies.

Anyway. I may take the plunge. We'll see.......

No Stress Policy

Back in college my sister and I used to say we had a "no stress policy"....if it stressed us out we just didn't do it....haha. like homework, working out, etc.

It was a funny joke back then. But recently I've been thinking about the things that are causing stress in my life. I've decided I'm gonna cut some things out. Just quit worrying about them, because they are making life more difficult.

1. I'm gonna quit stressing out about my weight. I'm done. I've worried/thought about my weight probably every day since I was 10 years old. When I graduated high school I was 5'7 and 115lbs. And I thought I was fat....And on and on every day since then. I'm over it! I'm gonna still work out like I have been. Eating the right things (most of the time). but I'm done stressing about it.

2. I"m gonna quit buying a paper every Sunday and never looking at the coupons. I'm gonna quit stressing out about coupons! I know they are suppose to make life easier by helping save money, but they just stress me out! The papers just add clutter to my house, then once I get around to clipping the coupons I buy stuff I don't use! I'm over this too.

3. If I don't want breakfast I ain't gonna eat it! I'm going to quit stressing out about eating breakfast every day. I don't care if it's the most important meal of the day. Some days I just don't want breakfast.

4. I'm gonna drink my diet coke. Every day. And I'm not gonna feel guilty about it. Life is too short. I'm southern, native of Georgia at that. My blood needs Coke to run efficiently. So there. I'm not stressing about that any more either.

5. Finally, If my kid watches T.V. so that I can go to the bathroom alone. I'm not going to stress about it. I'm not going to worry about her brain not developing properly because she watched 30 minutes of Sid The Science Kid. I'm over that as well.

I feel better now!

Nature's Perfect Fruit


During the winter months Clementines are at their peak. If Emery could eat her weight in fruit it would be clementines, (she can also throw down some cherries but that's for another day).

Clementines are the perfect fruit for little ones. they are seedless, small. Easy to peel, sweet and full of nutrients. She eats at least two a day. Winter days are great for citrus fruits. ..... Benji and I have also become big fans of this perfect fruit. Sooooo good first thing in the morning or in late afternoon.
