I haven’t posted in months as I don’t know what direction I want to take this if any at all. But its good to know I still get visitors and my ideas are fresh.
This is really fresh idea of the design of the site! I seldom met such in Internet. Good Work dude!

While catching up on our Saturday morning cartoons, a commercial came on advertising this bag.
Ella: Mommy, do you want that bag?
Me: No, its kinda ugly.
Ella: Mommy, ugly is not a nice word.
Ollie: Somewhat offended, sort of yells “No its not!”
Ella: When I grow up, Im going to have that purse.

Ella: “Mommy, what do you Really want for Christmas.”
Me: “More alone time.”
Ella: “Mommy, I will get you a alone time party for all of us.”
Me: Sigh

To keep up with my Thank You notes. I used to be good. Then I got bad. I have made good on all my 2007 Christmas Thank Yous. If I forgot you, please let me know and I will send you a cute little personlized Thank You. To encourage me further, I just ordered 4 sets of the cutest Thank You cards from Rock Scissor Paper. I always go to this site with the intention of stocking up on their cute cards, but never do. Today I did. And such a bargain. Thank You!

Well hello 2008. I guess its that time again to get in shape. Since 2007 was the year for me to get pregnant, and eat lots of icecream, I now have a faux prego pooch. Because they said eating lots of icecream would help me get pregnant! And I just figured I would breast feed all those pounds away. Well no baby; yet! Nows its time to throw out all that excess Christmas candy, and get back to cooking healthy. I love the holidays, but its always nice to have a clean slate starting on ah hem, January 2. I came across this breakfast recipe from Relish Magizne. A insert in our local paper. Its sort of cheesy quick facts that you already have read in depth in your more sophisticated magazines, but I have come to enjoy it. And this is my second recipe from the magazine that has been a winner. Of course I modified, because my way is always better.
Bengali Breakfast Grains, link for recipe.
Heres my mods:
I skipped the fennel seeds because every month I think I am pregnant and with that comes faux prego symptoms. So the taste and smell of fennel makes me want to throw up. I also used vanilla soy milk instead of regular milk. Instead of all the spices, I just used a few teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice. I used whatever dried fruit I had on hand, today was dried cherrys. I also gave it a drizzle of agave nectar for sweetness. Once cooled I just put in a air tight container and stuck it in the fridge. It will last me for a few breakfasts for the week. I just scoop out what I want, and pour some extra soy milk over it and some sliced banannas for good measure. I was pleasantly surprised by the yummy texture and taste of bulgar for breakfast. Enjoy.

Last year on this day, Ella was 3 going on 4. Thats right 3. How did she go from 3 to 5 in 1 year. She was a 3 year old toddler. Now she is a 5 year old kindergartner.

Ollie: Mommy, I want my spider man. My big spider man.
Me: Hmmmm, where is it? (me racking my brain, trying to remember if we have some sort of spider man toy)
Ollie: I dunno, maybe its at Targrit. Come on, lets go to Targrit.
Update: 10 minutes after this conversation, the meltdown began. Of course I didn’t run off to Target to get a Spider Man toy. The tears, the horror! Put him to bed and he was snoozing in 5 minutes.

“Oh, the babys kickin.” Sometimes a mama to be needs to blow off some steam. And shoot a few rounds.
