I am totally in the mood for new boots, Mini. They make me happy! I can't make myself spend the $ on the ones I want, tho.

Mini- that would be high BP for me! LOL

I had an awesome run today!

let's not discuss the bananas.....

Meri, at first I thought you meant you had eaten too many bananas...

And that's about normal blood pressure for me too.

DH is getting chinese food for dinner. sigh. I ordered mooshu veggies, the least awful thing on the menu.

Wore a skirt yesterday that was too snug a few weeks ago, with my new boots. Thank you Zappos!

Awesome! I wore my skinny jeans out to dinner last night. The ones that the CH talked me into 2009 that always felt too tight to actually go anywhere. I can sit down in them now! Which means they'll be completely out of style anyday now.

I want a new pair too. But I should probably focus on fitting back into my favorite pair of brown ones.

Thanks y'all. VP pretty sure it was a honeybee since there was a stinger left behind and I saw it fly away. Generally yellow jackets will keep attacking and keep its stinger... so that was our conclusion. Also there was a very stubborn honeybee harassing me the day before near the same place.

Took the kids to the toddler gym today. We had the whole place to ourselves...fun but also a little strange.

I spent far too much money at work today but got $16 of extrabucks so I'm happy...I may have purchased shit ton of chocolate. Oops.

That BP would be slightly on the high side for me. Which is why I faint sometimes.

And meri, mooshu vegetables are my favorite Chinese food take-out dish. We have only a handful of Chinese restaurants in town and they're all either awful or they are noodle shop-type places. I love The Noodle Shop (one of them downtown, near a killer shoe store. I think I know where we're having lunch tomorrow

) but I miss mooshu.

So. Much. Food.

Actually, I didn't do too bad today, but I also have early pregnancy bloat, which is why my pants don't fit right. Ready for that to end!!

Bolloxd I hope David is feeling better - Reid's never been stung. I'd probably freak out with fear.

MiniDriver · « **Reply #4629 on:** September 21, 2012, 09:12:23 PM »

Took m-i-l out to dinner. Had papusas. Feel stuffed, which as usual makes me want to keep eating. Sigh.

diablita · « **Reply #4630 on:** September 21, 2012, 09:14:12 PM »

Pupusas? Salvadorian food? They're really good stuffed with squash and cheese.

Bolloxd · « **Reply #4631 on:** September 22, 2012, 09:46:42 AM »

I think we are lucky that none of us are allergic to bees but the first one, and all others really, make me nervous.

I got an awesome 8 mile run done this morning, I feel so much better. Just what I needed.

MiniDriver · « **Reply #4632 on:** September 22, 2012, 10:34:48 AM »

One pupusa was filled with pork, one with spinach and cheese. They were delicious. I am still full.

cgraz · « **Reply #4633 on:** September 22, 2012, 12:31:47 PM »

Mmmm!

So I weighed in on Friday and hit a good milestone, down into a new decade. That makes me happy - would like about 10 more lbs. And I have a couple of pairs of pants that are looser now. I think I've lost about 14 lbs since starting.

But I'll probably undo it all with birthday festivities - went out for drinks & appetizers with work friends yesterday, and a fancy dinner out tonight with mr. cgraz. Treated myself to a run in the park this morning though, so it's all good.

merigayle · « **Reply #4634 on:** September 22, 2012, 12:41:44 PM »

good job and happy birthday Cgraz

So I went out for Chinease last night. I know better and I will pay all day today but it was so yummy! I can already hear my belly rumbling though.

I also looked at the grocery store for Asian sauces that aren't soy based and there was not a single one (out of maybe 20-30 choices. Even black bean sauce was black soybeans.

didn't i post about my DH making black soy beans instead of black beans?

you are just going to have to trial and error with your own sauce makings i guess. AND THEN MARKET THEM
