I think it is always easier to eat less healthy . Easy fast prepared foods are easier to grab when you are in a hurry or just don't want to cook.
ION, still in the food area , I realized my grocery shopping for a week was about the same amount of money as going out twice last week . I like eating out, but I'd like it to be a bit less often
The Tea of Death: [link] (Okay, I'm exaggerating. Echinacea tea is so much worse).
I am going to be switching to this [link] when we get home. Calorie-watching by iPhone definitely satisfies the techy in me.
I joined a jewelry making community on LJ, and they've mentioned selling things on Etsy. I keep buying beads and things to make necklaces with, and while the dragon-horde-builder in me screams "All the pretties for me!" there's also the thought that I can't wear everything and it might be fun to try and sell one or two things. Is there any kind of volume expectation on Etsy? If you've got one or two things, is it reasonable to put them on there? Getting over the desire to horde everything to myself is my own psychological issue that I won't trouble anyone with.
did I miss bt's birthday? Sorry about that. Happy (belated?) Birthday bt!
I knew I forgot something.
Happy belated birthday, bt! And many more years of happiness and wit to you and your family.
Facebook says it's today. BUT! He's on the other side of the international dateline, so it might be tomorrow for him already. Sooooo, for him, belated. For me, I'm right on time!
t beams!
I need to lose some weight. My interview clothes were uncomfortably tight.
I think working would help with that, though. I have unemployment weight.
Truth! My aging process has surpassed another integer value (yesterday). I was rewarded with a working lunch on my day off and a twice-vomiting baby (my own genetic legacy, not some random ralphing infant). But the lunch was tasty and my wife gave me an expansion set to my favourite card game.
I also received birthday greetings from my brothers. The first one:
"Happy birthday. Look up alf stewart on you tube to find out all about his rape dungeon."
Not a common feature of birthdays past, though I have been watching a lot of Criminal Minds lately.
The other brother got me (as a belated 40th birthday present) tickets to the 2011 Australian Open grand final. That's good brothering. He did add: "By the way, I'm including two thirds of the money that I owe you, but you weren't expecting to see that again, were you?" But I'm pretty sure he did at least perform the ticketing service.
Finally, I leave you with this exchange from a TV show last night:
"What should we get for Australia's endangered animals?"
"A GIANT WOK!"
