not winning any diet awards

So I'm stressed. When I'm stressed I often want to eat foods that are really bad for me. Lunch today? Sonic. The bacon cheeseburger toaster sandwich. Hamburger, bacon, cheese on toasty goodness. "No veggies," I said. When the girl asked me if I still wanted the onion ring that comes on it I said, "Yes. Fried vegetables do not count as vegetables."

I love that theory... fried vegetables don't count as vegetables!

no way, fried vegetables SHOULD count, I know they don't, but they SHOULD!! That's the only way they taste good.

I know. Any other time I insist they are vegetables because I'd be eating something fried anyway. It might as well have something good for you in its fatty center.

I'm back to say I've tagged you for a meme. Hope the stress levels are going down!

It seems like we're both tense(d)! When will it end?!?!

Just take it a day at a time with an eye towards some greater long-term future outlook; taking comfort in the knowledge that the present is slowly losing the race to the future.

I have the best boyfriend ever. Seriously. If there were a boyfriend contest, my boyfriend would totally kick your boyfriend's ass. :o)

Onion rings don't count as veggies? What about french fries? They're POTATOES after all! How about a corn dog? CORN is a veggie!

They only give you one onion ring??? How chintzy is that??? I think you should've had a whole order. That would have made you feel a whole lot better!

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
