6 Quirky Things
I was tagged ....
six quirky things about moi
1. I have weird sayings I'll spit out at random times. I can't think of any now but often Brandon is laughing and saying what did you just say and never really makes sense.
2. I always want to know what people are going to eat or have eaten. I really don't know what I get out of that, but it's a question I often ask if it's near eating time or they've just gone to dinner. If Brandon has gone out to lunch with his coworkers and they've gone to a restaurant I like, I'll ask what everyone ordered.
3. If my feet get chilled at night I'll be freezing when I go to bed, even if it's the dead of summer.
4. I can remember my friends' phone numbers from high school and weird random facts that are of no importance. What to get at the grocery store w/o a list is not so successful.
5. I sometimes have sympathy for inanimate objects. Seriously certifiable.
6. I like cafeteria food. I have fond memories of my elementary school lunches and when I was pregnant with Laura I was craving it so much I called the closest school to see if they would let me buy a lunch, can you believe they wouldn't? They thought I was crazy too. Since I know have kids in school it's just not what it used to be.
So I tag...

Food
We have a love/hate relationship. I love to eat it but hate to see it sit on my hips. I'm going on two weeks of no desserts, that's not to say no sugar, but no cakes, chocolate, ice cream and such. I most likely am a sugarholic, if it's in the house I'm going to eat it...I eat it to get rid of it quick so that I don't eat it. Like that logic? Some things I've learned is that I have more self restraint than I thought. I've been pretty good. Well, really good...I've made it through a baptism with elcairs and lemon cupcakes, a chocolate cake fixed for dinner with the missionaries, a birthday party with browies and ice cream, a painting party with that chex, chocolate powdered sugar mix, Melody's blogging about the hot now sign being on :), and a wedding cake with raspberry filling. I've found that I want the cakey stuff less as time goes on and that apples and bananas taste good when not being replaced with little debbie's. I haven't cut out anything remotely that might not be defined as a dessert, like banana bread that is oh so good but probably shouldn't classify.
The other thing I'm doing is charting my meals on www.mypyramid.gov . I love that it graphs out what you've eaten. It's the longest I've charted my meals. I love change what can I say.
Now with all this effort and preparing (just barely) for the 5K this coming week and aerobics. I've lost possibly one lb. But I know these things take time and I feel better on the inside. You know how you start working out and it feels like your body has made this huge transformation and well not really, that's where I'm at. The clothes still fit the same...ah well. I at least feel better and am proud of myself so far.
Now for more of the love for food and real reason for this post was to say I went to my cousin's wedding on St. George's Island that I haven't been to in evidently years and it was beautiful. I'm going to take the kids there in the next couple of weeks during the evening..it was gorgeous, the sand dunes, beautiful. The best part besides the nuptials was the food....yummy good. It was catered by this company out of Port St. Joe named Provisions and it was scrumptious. They served mini crab cakes with some kind of good dipping sauce. goat cheese something or other with grilled pita triangles. baked brie with pecans and brown sugar...I only had one small helping of this but my goodness so good. yellow honeydew that I didn't even know existed...was wonderful. roastbeef, herb turkey, ham and little rolls and horseradish for the roastbeef, you should never have roastbeef w/o horseradish in my opinion. Little eggrolls with the red spicy sauce. Cherry tomatoes stuffed with chicken salad and a cheesy artichoke dip that was amazing. I love weddings!!! and food :)
