Sitting Up

Well, maybe not all by himself for longer than 10 seconds, but he does great in the Boppy Pillow. And he loves looking at the camera.

Skinny Cow

I like cold food in the summer. Specifically Popsicles and Fudgcicles and the like. And I *don't* like Diet Food. I don't eat/drink foods with Aspartame or Saccharin. If I want a diet drink, I'll drink cold water.

And I like chocolate. Costco has started carrying cases of frozen confections by a company called Skinny Cow. The ice cream sandwich is 140 calories (2 points) and has 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of fat and 4 grams of protein. The mini fudge bars are 50 calories per bar, 0.5 grams fiber, 0.5 grams fat, 1.5 grams protein. The first ingredient on the list is skim milk. These are great between-meal treats for me. I stay very happy when I'm able to eat tasty treats and still hold steady on the scale in the morning.

garage workbench

I did a lot of work straightening up the garage. There is still so much to do. The portion I just did recently was the workbench and tool boxes. I got some organizer bins from Home Depot because the worst part about doing projects was trying to find tools. The bottom of the tool box had become a spiny mass of nails/screws. And the bench itself was piled high with stuff. The reality is that if the tools are not organized and accessible then it is as if we own nothing. Now I know were everything is from lost screw drivers, drill bits and even the smallest screws, tacks, and picture hangers.
I saw an old sign that I loved but didn't put up in my kitchen, so it went in the garage. Can you see it over the workbench? It reads "this is a self cleaning kitchen. Clean up after yourself."
