Chocolate Raisins, which food group?

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

My mom bought me a tub from Trader Joes. I started on them last night when I found them in her house. My surprise when she told me they were for me. I snacked all night long. Then at 6 am they were calling my name. “eat me, eat me”. They are disappearing, by the handfuls. I have decided not to feel guilty. After all I am getting my fiber and my fruit.

So I have decided that I am not *really* eating junkfood, just fruit . . . . chocolate covered.

My daughter’s 3rd Birthday

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

Today my daughter turns 3. I can’t believe I just typed that. I am pregnant again and it feels like yesterday when I was pregnant with her. She has learned so much in her 3 short years, most of it good. (more…)
