Oh, the excitement

Actually, there really isn't much going on. Blake is on a new antibiotic, and after a month and a half of being sick, finally feels better. Just in time, because he has had to go into work for training all week.

I've been on an organizing kick, and got our closet cleaned out. Part of the rod had been broken, which left less space, which made everything a mess. I got a new rod, a sweater rack, and am getting rid of a LOT of clothes. All mine. Wish I could convince Blake to give some up . . .

I joined Spark People, which is a free diet/health site. I really like it so far. Haven't been to the store to fully implement the nutrition info yet. I must say, the food recommendations look a little bland, so I plan to get a lot of use out of my spices.

I also found (actually they sent me an email) a company that has some FREE web seminars that I can use for contact hours for certification. I attended one today. It was actually fairly interesting, and occurred during James' nap time, so I was able to pay attention.

Also, finally finished the scrapbook from our trip to Italy. I want to put up photos of the entire project, but that could take a bit.

That is about all that's going on here. There is a Mizzou game tonight, which I will watch, but since 5 of our players have been suspended, it is unlikely to be a very pleasant experience. I appreciate the tough stance our coach is taking. I just wish we'd recruit players who wouldn't do the things that get them suspended. On a final note -- I've got James watching basketball with me now! I'm starting him early.

No, Heather! Don't do it! Don't do bland! You'll hate life! :) Take a look at CookingLight.com. There are tons of recipes, plus nutrition information for all of them. Lots of times, during the week we'll just make a recipe for chicken breasts and some sort of reduction sauce. Those sauces make all the difference in the world. One of the lightest (ww point-wise) dinners we have now is a cooking light recipe for Chicken Marsala. It's super easy. And Greg over-reduced it the other night, and it was actually even better.

Not sure if your new diet rewards you for fiber, but check out these, too -- http://www.Flatoutbread.com/ -- the same amount of calories as one slice of bread, but at least double the fiber. We use them for everything right now - wraps for lunch, and last night we made pizzas with them. They're not cardboard-y, either - they're actually pretty soft. Our grocery store has them by the deli, like where pitas and stuff are.

I think part of my problem is that I think about food way too much. :)
