Suzi, that is awesome. I have been trying to eat better lately and failing. Snacking is killing me.

Thanks. Snacking is an issue for me too. Clementines have been great for satisfying that need to munch. I like WW's basic ideas. Food choices involve trade off's. And keeping a food diary helps minimize mindless eating. I try to look up point values before I eat something.

I am totally making a pi pie tonight to take to my ungrateful co-workers tomorrow. (I made one several years ago, and then Pi Day fell on weekends for a while, and I wasn't going to make and bring in a Pi Pie on a date that wasn't actually Pi Day, because That Would Be Wrong.)

I took them paczki last week and will bring a pi pie tomorrow. I'm afraid they're going to start expecting pastry from me every week.

I wish I had peapod. I really don't feel like grocering.

Me too. I've got almost nothing in the house, and no desire to go shopping. Desire to nap, yes. Shop, no.

My boss puts peanut butter in his oatmeal. I haven't tried that. I like adding walnuts or almonds.

I am at work now, but did get to start the day with Carmen, the Mary Sue person who designed our yard coming over and telling us what we need to do to prep for next week,, when she comes over and stains the backyard!

She was thrilled at our front yard--apparently, with several of the yard projects she has worked on, people have just let them die afterward. I don't get it--you get a free design expert and lots of help and do days of work doing over your space--why not keep it looking nice? Pruning and watering are not hard, once you get the hang of them. Plants will die, of course, while you get the hang of it, but in California is is not hard to find things that will grow.

Desire to nap, yes. Shop, no.

Yes. This.

I am so happy for your continuing yard joy. And yay for awesome Carmen!

Steph, i wish i were one of your coworkers tomorrow. Just tomorrow, for the pi(e).

Sue, of course!

pie for pi.

I wonder if I should make a pie as well? I haven't made a sweet potato pie since January, time to make another I think.

I'm watching the Carolina-Duke ACC Championship game (GO HEELS!!) with amyth and a fellow geeky friend. amyth says hello and she misses you all and hopes to be back on the board soon, and apologies to anyone she owes email to.

Wheen i ccok dried fruit in my oatmeal -- I don't add more sugar. But then I've weaned my self off a lot of things tha t have extra sugar in them ( why does peanut butter have sugar in it)

and just as a matter of I can't help myself. ... when some uses the term high carb -- what they usually mean is that a small amount of food has about 15 grams of carbohydrate s -- in the case of oatmeal that means 1/2 of a cup. ( rice is about 1/3 of a cup) Broccoli is not high carb it takes about 1 and 1/2 cups to get to 15 grams of carbohydrate. aq
