- have been sugar-free for five days. I only gave up the processed white or brown kind; let's not be crazy and think I ditched the sweet stuff entirely. 'Cause that'd be crazy, yo.
It's not that hard, really. It takes a little label reading and some substitutions, but overall, it doesn't seem like a big change. And I have a Sweet Tooth, people.
Big deals? Honey in my coffee, eating my own bread because all the store-bought varieties have sugar, using agave nectar
- forayed into Chocolate Covered Katie's blog some more (remember the cookie dough dip?) and made this, this, and this. We'll talk more about this tomorrow. For now, just know that Katie is a GENIUS.
- took some artwork off the fridge, only to be immortalized forever by publishing it HERE. V did a portrait of me, and wrote my name above the picture. I like that she draws eyes and pupils.
- went through my file drawers and found awesome mementos from my neat friends.
I sure have gotten fake kidnapped while pregnant! Funny you asked!
- work continues on the house. There is some siding up on the west side, and the FLASHING IS HOLDING OUT THE RAIN (THANKS, TIM! [Bratt kids, tell your dad it's working great!]). It's going great and we've had a lot of very generous people volunteering their time and tools, so WOOOHOOOOO!
- the hostas I thought were dead have exploded.
- gave back my folks' coffeemaker. Took a picture of our last drink together. I'll miss you, little miracle worker
- Mae Cake's first ice cream cone. She doesn't look thrilled in this picture, but eating ice cream is serious business. There are drips to attend to and a new dress to keep clean (her sentiment, surprisingly, not mine).
- Saturday afternoon playing in downtown Minneapolis. Fountains, skyways, and coffee, oh my!
How was your weekend?
