who needs vegetables...

when TJ's has DYNAMO? And not just Dynamo, but Dynamo plus calcium? Chock full of everything your body needs and your mouth can't pronounce.
I did some painting this weekend. I figured if Stefanie...with her brand new house, 8 kids, and weekly trips ot Iowa for casting...could get her whole house painted in an afternoon, I really have no excuses.

So the piano room and Matthew's bathroom are now finished! I think I could move more quickly if I wouldn't paint the ENTIRE room with a 1 1/2 " brush. But the truth is I enjoy trimming...I was born a trimmer...Scott calls it a sickness, but I call it love. No blue tape, no drop cloth, just me and my 1 1/2"-er just trimming away.

I've posted a photo of my color palette so you Hue Queens can have a good laugh at the fact that I'm not exactly rockin' the color wheel! I like to refer to myself as "monochromatic mama."

a pig in your pocket

sometimes it's easier to type an email to Daddy when there is a pig in your pocket...

And speaking of pork, yesterday for lunch I chowed about 100 slices of salami and washed 'em down with a spoonful of hot fudge. The only reason I ate the hot fudge was because all of the amazing truffles I received from Rebecca were HIS.TOR.Y.

Anyway, I thought that it might be time to kick a little nutrition into my daily diet. I've been looking at other mamas' Meal Plan Monday menus, and the meals all look amazing but so, well, ingredient-y. (My ingredient tolerance is at about 3). And they look so filling. Scott and I are pretty good with a bowl of cereal or mac&cheese w/ a tortilla for dinner. And most of the meals I've seen appear to be the kind that would leave you with leftovers.

So...can anyone recommend a book or website with nice, light dinners? Preferably not with tons of vegetables. There is really nothing green in our fridge save the green chile. But, for Matthew's sake, we probably could endure A vegetable.

Hope you all have a super weekend!
