Wow, I am on a roll with the blog-iness. Two whole days in a row.
I went out to the party stores yesterday and I found nothing fun, as far as Knights or Princes or Kings. It's a female dominated world, there's all kinds of fun Princess stuff out there but nothing for royal little boys. Bah Humbug. So, we've narrowed it down to Spiderman or Thomas the Tank Engine. And I think we are going to go with Spiderman. It's webslingy! And noble and heroic. And on clearance. Is that horrible? I don't really think it is, he's not even going to remember it, there's not going to be many kids at his party, and I don't even let him watch enough tv for him to have a favorite tv show. Besides the less we spend on party supplies, the more we can spend on toys and fun stuff for him. And HE is what this party is all about. (Plus we really like the Spidey Disk Launchers)
I also discovered that Tim Hortons puts mushrooms in their chilli. What in the heck is that all about? My boss told me that it's a Canadian chain, so maybe that's why? I mean the last time I was in Canada I saw someone eating french fries with gravy on them at McDonalds. So, yeah the fact that I was at Tim Horton's? Definitely means that I blew the SlimFast diet yesterday. I drank my first shake in the morning and started the day off right, but I rushed out the door so fast to go do the birthday party shopping that I forgot to pack healthy snacks or a shake, then I went directly to work and had to grab food there. I've been drinking so much diet pop lately that regular pop tastes strange to me, and my friend told me that drinking too much diet pop can actually cause diabetes. I don't actually know if this is true, but the idea behind makes sense to me. You are taking in something sweet so the body creates insulin, but since there is no sugar all of that insulin is "unemployed" without something to do. Makes sense, don't you think?
So today, I started off with my healthy meal. I had a spanish omlette. Eggs, green peppers, red peppers and onions. All fresh and cooked by me. Yay for me! LOL. I'll have a shake for lunch and a shake for dinner, and I am also going to pack some healthy snacks to curb the craving for sweets at work. Grapes and apples have natural sweetness so maybe I'll be able to resist the temptation to nibble on the candy they keep giving us at work. I swear, it's like they think we are in kindergarten. If you are good little children we'll give you candy. Seriously, they've been known to flick the light switch to get us to pay attention.
