A day late...

I missed yesterday blogging for the first time since I started, but I just didn't have time.  The girls and I had dinner and fun time with some great friends and we didn't get home until later.  So, bath and bed routine beat out blogging...I'm sure you all have no idea what to do with your Friday night without hearing from me...ha!

So, today is Saturday.  So, it's basically just a day to catch up on chores.  I got the laundry all washed and it's ready to fold.  The house picked up.  Then, around noon I got a headache that took me down for a bit. I laid on the couch and tried to kick it.  But, I needed to head to the grocery store so I sucked it up and went to Safeway (thanks, mom!).  I'm having a few people over tomorrow morning to watch the Seahawks beat Atlanta...YAY!  If you would like to join us, please do!  The more the merrier...just bring something to share :)  I'm making pulled pork sandwiches...my FAVORITE!! So, it should be a fun day.  I might even have a beer...if I have 4 points left to spare!

My food choices lately have been good, but I have been SO hungry!  And not feeling great makes it harder for me.  When I have a headache I tend to want to eat, until it gets to the point where I'm nauseous...which is NOW.  So, no more eating today, but I've been snacking on things that a shouldn't.  A few M&Ms here, some fish crackers there...hopefully I've saved enough spare points today that it will just take care of what I've consumed.  Grr...

I stayed off of Pinterest as long as I possibly could, but now that I got sucked into signing up, I'm hooked!!  I found a pin that was 27 fruits and veggies you can grow from scraps.  I try my hand at gardening every spring and summer and usually get a few good things out of it, so I thought I would give this a try.  My first attempt was with celery.  According to the pin, all I had to do was chop the celery off of the stalk, and put the stalk with the nubbin (lol...not sure that's a real word, but my friends and family use it all the time..so, I'll let you figure out what end I mean...) side down in a bowl with warm water.  Leave it there for a few days, changing the water every so often with warm water.  I'm pleased to report that this is WORKING!  SEE???

So, I'm going to try the other things and maybe we'll be able to expand our little garden throughout the spring and summer months.  I love farm-fresh fruits and veggies and we have gotten some great stuff from our previous yields: carrots, peas, potatoes, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, tomatoes, and more!  My soil is mostly clay, which makes it hard to grow, but thanks to Lynn and Royce, I have four raised beds I'm going to plant this spring!  And I'm going to try my hand at container gardening.  There have also been other fabulous ideas on Pinterest, so hopefully they go from being pins to being amazingness in my yard!!

OK...so, its bath time soon...and I'm excited because that means that bed is shortly after :)  So, good night to you all!!  I'll post my menus from the last TWO days since I was lazy and didn't do yesterday!!  I hope to start incorporate walking into my routine soon.  I have an app that I found that I have on my iPhone that it a couch to 10K program so...a friend at work asked me to join her in the Portland 1/2 marathon in October...I can do that maybe!!  So, training better commence NOW!!  Wish me luck...
