Chicken Soup for the Sour Daddy

I'm hungry.

We took Elizabeth to the cast party last night and she did this crazy crawl-crab-scoot across the floor, with both hands working in a flurry or motion, one knee crawling, and one foot planted firmly on the floor, attempting to run. With this setup, I was certain she's scoot herself in circles, but she kicked-ass across the dance floor and did us proud. Until she vomited all over Daddy from all the scooting/running-children excitement. We hosed Elizabeth down, put her in her pretty pink pajamas and she was happy as a puppy in six-pack of giggling babies. Daddy, however, smelled like sour puke.

We stayed on about 45 minutes longer, but by then the exhausted kiddo was melting down with screams and elephant tears that would have broken even the greenest Grinch heart. We arrived home at 9 pm - two hours past E-Beth's normal bedtime. She slept straight through 'till 8 am. Yeah, that's my perfect baby. Eat your heart out, Erin.

It's kind of grey and gloomy today, and Brian has a lingering sinus infection, so I'm cooking up a hearty crock of peppercorn and garlic-infused chicken soup. I've got an annoying ten pounds of fat stuck on my ass that I can't wiggle off, so I'm feasting on Slimfast (sans m&ms) "shakes" for the next few weeks. They aren't so bad if you plug your nose, don't breathe and swallow quickly. At this point I'm absolutely desperate to get rid of this weight before summer hits, and I'm willing to try just about anything. Slimfast is 'just about anything.'

So, summer plans include:
Take E-Beth to the Zoo/Park/Playground/Library many times
Camping in the Adirondacks
Legally change my birthday year to 1978
Get my Civil War wardrobe finished (handsewing rocks)
Participate in some reenacting events (No, Brian, you don't HAVE to go)
Volunteer at Genesee Country Village and take a few classes
Kayak the Erie Canal from Rochester to Syracuse
Start up two new businesses/websites. Details to follow. . . .

Darn, that soup smells reallllllllly tasty. . . .

Sorry. Can't think anymore. The Slimfast has sucked my brains dry and all I can think about is how good that soup smells.

If I bribed everyone with chocolate, would more people comment on my blog?

Yeah, I'll comment... Perhaps you could send me some chocolate with that HAND-WRITTEN LETTER YOU PROMISED ME! PS.. Your baby sleeps too much ;-)

Chocolate?....Where?!

Posted by: Rose | March 12, 2006 07:24 PM

Ah chocolate ain't nessecary; though it would be very much appreciated! And have you tried 'weight watchers' food? Much nicer than Slimfast. Well that ain't saying much but there you go!

And all I can see now is this cute little kid scuttling across the floor. I think it was the crab comment that did it. My younger brother when he first crawled, only crawled backwards. It was really odd. And amusing. Very amusing.

If you bribed me with chocolate, I would...uh...continue to post with semi-regularity? I like you. ♥

You said Genesee and reminded me of the book I've read like ten times about Molly Jemison, the White Woman of the Genesee. you live in what sounds like the coolest area ever.

Let us know how the slimfast works!! My hubby has lost 20 lbs eatings MRE's yuck, so at least 10 lbs HAS to leave my booty/thighs/stomach. Too bad you can't get pills that just remove the flab from your stomach and not your chest. I have great luck losing a bra size! Not so much losing a jeans size. The soup does sound yummy, by the way.

It is called Slim Slow. It is sweetened with sucralose. Drink 3 or more shakes a day and you will definitely lose 10 lbs through a massive attack of totally water diarrhea that won't losen its grip (excuse the pun) for several days subsequent to the indulgence. Then, starving and dehydrated, you will consume twice the calories that kept you from losing before and will gain 5 lbs. I know from experience. Love, Uma
