This is my first time to join a linky party with Stuff and Things. It's been a long time since my last post. So here goes as many random things that I can think of.
Sweet boy {aka Zac the dog} spent 10 days in the kennel while we were in Florida for Fall Break. The day after we picked up Sweet Boy he started hacking like a chronic smoker. He hacked for a week, then we finally took him to the vet. Symptoms: dry, barking cough {sounded like a seal}, hacking up white foamy junk, wouldn't eat, not acting like a normal puppy. Diagnosis: kennel cough. Treatment: steroids and antibiotics. Cost: $106!!! He's pretty much back to normal and proceeded to chew up an Under Armour sweatshirt tonight. Sweet boy is not so sweet anymore!
I love, love, love to read outside on a warm, sunny day. I'm pretty sure this week was my last day to do this for a very long time. We have a freeze warning issued for tomorrow night. My husband wants to bring in our wood burning stove this weekend. Beautiful warm days are pretty much over.
A friend of mine whom we carpool for basketball with sent home a container of homemade chocolate chip cookies with my son after practice. They were so good and reminded me why I don't bake very often. I love to eat them too much. This time I only ate 1 cookie because we had lots of boys over at the house that day and they gobbled them down.
I have been reading a very interesting book called It Starts with Food by Dallas & Melissa Hartwig. Let's just say there is a ton of information in this book! I've taken nutrition, biology, and chemistry classes, but don't remember any of the things they talk about in this book. A few of the girls I work with are considering the Whole30 program. I know I've got to do something because I have a ton of clothes that no longer fit. I loved this quote in the book.....
At some point, you will have to weigh the fleeting pleasure of a slice of pizza, pint of beer, or frozen yogurt {or homemade chocolate chip cookies} against one or more of these scenarios.
*I'm not there yet!!!*
Last thing....I am so excited about the time change this weekend. When my kids were little, I dreaded the time change twice a year. Now that my kids can fend for themselves, I love it when we fall back and momma gets an extra hour of sleep!!
