My boyfriend picked up Fables 5 and 6 for me over the weekend. I read the first 30 pages of 5 as we attempted to watch Predator yesterday afternoon. Neither one of us could get through the movie. We did get through The Vampire's Assistant all right. It was a little dumb, a little cute. We watched Where The Wild Things Are, which is a longer movie ( Read more... )

Too much family stuff going on. I will drown my sorrows in the enormous baked potato my company provided for lunch today. I also ate a pile of fruits and veggies with it. But I'm going back later today to get a cookie.

So yesterday at work, I saw that the freezer was ajar when I walked into the kitchen, and pushing it closed only resulted in it popping back open again. I poked around, rearranging boxes so that the door would close, and unearthed a few meals I'd left in there over the last year or so. I found a pizza, a pasta dish, and some faux chick'n nuggets ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, I bought some mason jars and got around to storing a lot of things that had been sitting around in plastic bags for ages, like 7-bean soup that I have yet to try to make.

But ( Read more... )

I posted a few new posts over at the food and fitness blog to which I contribute. It's slowed down a bit, at least for me, in the last week due to being sick or lazy. Maggie and Sarah posted recipes that I covet, and Maggie made educational posts on nutrition not too long ago.

As I outlined in my latest post there, I intended to try the vegan loaf ( Read more... )

Zzzz.

Adventures I have had lately:

I wrote a couple of more entries for Fanci Fun TimeThere was a camping trip. The weather was gorgeous, the food was good, and I went for a long hike and reaffirmed my love for Ben Folds ( Read more... )

It's nice to feel busy, for once. Tonight, I helped my boyfriend get an achievement in Guitar Hero: Van Halen, made quinoa for dinner, worked out, read a short story for a friend, and posted on my friend Maggie and her friend (my future friend?) Sarah's food, fitness, health, etc. journal the Fanci Fun Time Blog. My first post is basically about my ( Read more... )

We picked up a couple of bags of Avoderm at PetSmart a few days ago, dumped it in the plastic dog food storage tub, and poured what was left of the Bil-Jac on top so we could transition the food more easily ( Read more... )
