The carbs under my couch are gonna get me!!!




I figured since i now have a dedicated following (ahem...that's right you two, your my posse) (is that how you spell it??? Pose, pohsee, paaah see????) Anyhooey, I was jsut figuring that i should write another post. And since we're all on that low-carb 'diet' that everyone thinks is so bad, I just had to write about it.

So no freakin' kidding, today is day five and i'm down five pounds. And I have to say, I've been pretty good, but unknowing eating carbs where i never knew they hid. Seriously...I THOUGHT i read food labels before...but now Im REALLY reading them, and can't believe where all the carbs come from. Even my MILK.....oh, how i'd love a big cold glass of milk and a box of cookies right now!! But the motivation is there to keep going cuz it's working. Something is finally working. I mean, I suppose i could keep eating the way i did and get my lazy butt off the computer (we'd have it made if typing was considered excersice eh?). Actually, i should say that i don't spend that much time on the computer...just enough....

Which leads me to another question. Since this blogging and surfing other blogs is kinda new to me, i just have to ask. How the heck do they do it??? I mean, i find these blogs with seemingly normal people with family's, kids, all the normal stuff that keeps us busy, plus a life bursting at the seams with creativity AND the TIME to BLOG about it???!??!!??! I'm awestruck. I just don't know how they do it. Maybe they don't sleep. Between Owen and Max, and laundry and dishes, I still don't managed to shower everyday, let alone get to my craft room. It's sick really. If you've seen my scrap room, I've got space most people would die for, but hardly ever get down there. My new goal is to try and do something creative a couple times a week.

Sorry for the rambling. I guess this is all part of what i want this blog to be for...figuring things out...letting the jumbled up thoughts in my mind have a place to rest....to be heard, to hear advice, thoughts, suggestions from you...How do you do it?? Do you do it? Does it just look like you're doing it? That's a whole other day.....

Back to the carbs. I found a recipe online (like where else would i find it?) for flax seed crackers!!! You got it. Crispy crunchy salty chippy crackers!!!!! Yum Yum. I'm gonna try it tonite and see how it goes. The whole recipe has 6grams of carbs, but 35grams of fibre, so if i do my math right (LOL) it should be negative 29 carbs....LOL LOL LOL....Anne, can we rev up our fibre intake to offset cookies???

And since a post, isn't any fun without a picture......here's a peek at fun stuff for today.

well what the heck...how come i can't get teh picture on the bottom of the screen....well times up for today iwas gonna do more...but i gotta get going....anyhooey that's what i'm planning to make for fathers day..cute eh? It's from http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2009/06/fast-food-fun.html

Watch out Bloggers...your about to see a little bit of crazy.



Okay. So here i am. On the Internet (insert oohs & aahs here). I've been quite disconnected over the past few years, since i moved to a small rural town, and had two babies I've sorta hibernated from the world. But now I have a laptop, and wireless internet and I'm going a little CRAZY with all the information that out there!!! Wow people, You've got imagination, CREATIVITY, and Inspiration coming outta every oraface (sp?) of your bodies!!!! I'm like a dutch kid without T.V. and I'm Hooked (can I say that? I mean, I'm dutch, so i think it's okay...really that's what it was like!!!) Anyhooey...

Oh, yeah, and I guess turning 29 help with the crazy factor too. I figure this is the year that's going to make it or break it so they say. If I haven't got it figured out by the time I'm thirty will I ever?

So, what do I want for my life. Well as my blog says, I want to be Authentically me. I'm not sure what the means yet...i've got some ideas, but i'm not convinced yet, that I'm there. so that's what this blog is about. A place where I can search my soul, share my random thoughts...hopefully build some relationships bring joy and fun and inspiration to my life. And of course...there'll always be a little CRAZY going on!!!

Every Girls gotta have her own 'Tool Chest'

P.S. That's the crazy ; )
