Denise, ah, thank you and you're welcome! And thanks about the baby--he's actually cuter in person, believe it or not! ;) Maybe now that I am getting back to posting (here and on the blog), I can take some time to update a few of the things on my Tools page--I haven't updated the Cathe...

Ouch, Nan. My butt now hurts in sympathy.

I miss sewing! I was sewing quite a bit right up until my latest baby was born. Then shortly after he was born I could see I wouldn't have time for it for a long time, so I put my machine away and put all my extra fabric in storage. :(

I would like to go this year if I'm still living here!

I'm reading Lolita right now for an online book club sort of thing (was I the one who prompted you, Robin?) and oddly enough I have The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo waiting on the window seat to read next. I am also reading a bit of J.K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard and Health at Every...

Oh yeah, the Superbowl--totally forgot that was this weekend. We usually go over to some friends' house for a party. I'm hoping we can take 2 cars this time so I can take my two smaller boys back home early. They cannot stay up that late.

Hi TeTe! :) No big plans here except to stay warm--supposed to be a bit of snow over the weekend here as well. Speaking of plans, need to make plans to go visit my brother soon so I can visit with you again as well!

How could the Shelley thread be bad? Robin is such a wonderful woman--one of my favorite online friends. She really is completely a sweetheart. I don't get it. I enjoyed that thread--thought it was all about taking the mickey out of people in general for some common silly things that are done...

Thanks, Jonezie. I used to write on it every single day until I got very pregnant with my 3rd son--now I'm back but sporadic. I have read yours a few times. :)

My own husband gives me that look. I was trying to describe my favorite exercise in a recent workout and he told me, "You really don't have to demonstrate it right now." Hmph. :mad:

I am no expert (my baby is 4 1/2 months old and I'd still like to lose about 40 lbs) but I think typical dieting often sets us up for failure. When you are too restrictive it's natural to rebel and swing the other way, I think. Right now I am focusing on eating cleanly as much as possible, but...

My worst experience was after a good deal of New Year's champagne. I blame the bubbles.;)

You would know, ya wino. Zing! :p

That would last about 2 days in my house (with 4 of us eating it). Maybe I'll put it in my biggest pot and quadruple the amount.

I just got a brand new crockpot for Christmas (I already had one but it was ancient). I am definitely going to try that Zucchini Bread Oats--zucchini is my favorite veggie!

Thanks for all the great ideas! I'm going to have to print these out. Michele, I ordered that book on Amazon today.

I'd thought about doing a big batch--was wondering if it would reheat well. I have to admit my husband is in some ways a better cook than I am. I can cook with a recipe and can't do much without one. I am creative in some other ways, but not in cooking. When I try to get creative with cooking...

My husband and I have recently begun eating much cleaner and much more plant than animal food. We are not really going vegetarian, just making meat a much less common part of our diet. I'm a busy mom of 3, so I can't be growing my own soybeans or milling my own grains or anything like that...

Maybe it's the breed. Bostons are similar to boxers (like little brothers of boxers).

My male dog never lifts his leg to pee. Is that weird? Should I start a new thread asking if he needs to see a doctor about that?
