I just realized that Sven and I bought CHOCOLATE Pudding the other day.
It has to be eaten so it doesn't go bad. Sven doesn't eat pudding often, but he will have to eat it, because I can't, but it is my favorite low cal desert.
Oh this is going to be hard!
I must resist!

Giving it up.
Today is Ash Wednesday. I am Catholic, but I do not go to church anymore, I don't agree with many of the teachings/practices of the church so I don't go and I am not going to go get Ashes put on my forehead.
But since this is the beginning of Lent, I am going to give something up, I kinda like that tradition.
I started thinking what would be good. Then I started thinking about how I would like to be healthier and I started thinking back to my childhood and Chocolate immediately came to mind. So I am giving up Chocolate. But, I thought I should give up something else and I thought Ice Cream.
But I got to thinking what kind of deserts can you have that are diet friendly but not ice cream or chocolate?
What about WW frozen yogurt pops? No, that is technically ice cream. What about Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches? Well, those are rules out just by the name.
Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I won't give up the Ice Cream part?

Shepherd's Pie
Jennelle posted this on her blog and we made it tonight! It was really good, a definite must make again!
Shepherd's Pie
Servings: 6
WW POINTS: 6
* 2 cups chicken broth
* 1/4 tsp black pepper
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 tsp thyme
* 1 tbsp rosemary
* 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
* 2 medium stalks celery
* 2 medium carrots
* 1 cup onion
* 2 tsp olive oil
* 1 tbsp butter
* 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
* 2 large potatoes
* 1 lb cooked extra-lean ground beef
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover potatoes. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain potatoes, transfer to a large bowl and add sour cream and butter; mash until smooth, season to taste with salt and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots and celery; cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Add flour, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper; stir to coat. Add broth and bring to a simmer; simmer until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
Transfer beef mixture to a 9-inch, deep-dish pie plate. Spread mashed potatoes over top and using the back of a spoon, make decorative swirls over the top. Bake until potatoes are golden, about 30 minutes. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.

Chicago forecast?
Sven and I were in the car listening the radio, when the song, Welcome to the World by Kevin Rudolph, came on.
The first lines went something like "Welcome to the World, Check out the Forecast". I swear to you I heard "Welcome to the World, Chicago Forecast". Makes no sense but that is what I heard. I asked Sven what was really said and he rewinded the song (we have Sirius, Thank God for Sirius!) and indeed he did say "check out the forecast".
But I didn't care, I just kept singing my version, at first, I think it drove Sven nuts, but then it made him laugh when he realized I am crazy, as you all know this :)

Lean Bean Cheesy Enchiladas
On my friend Ame's recommendation, Sven and I made this Monday night and it was oh so good! Definitely, gonna make this again!

Sarah asked me to.......
Sarah asked me some fun questions and here are my answers:
I would rename it a Globose Berry!
If you would like to play along, here are the instructions:
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions.)
3. You update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. You know, to pay-it-forward and keep this little interview game going.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions and so on and so forth. The first five ‘askers’ get the interview!
1. If your cats learned to talk, what would be the first thing they said to you? Now, that would be interesing! My cats have totally different personalities, one is older and laid back and loves attention. Her name is Rean. If Rean were to talk the first thing from her would be "Pet Me, Pet Me, Pet Me"! Now Tess on the other hand is younger and is still in her kitten stage and wants to play, but is a loner at the same time and in my opinion, just evil. If she were to talk the first thing she were to say would be "I'm Crazy and I'm Gonna F$$$ You Up!"
2. If you could commit one crime and get away with it, no chance of ever being caught, what would it be and why? Rob a bank, not actually the person in the bank doing the robbing, but being behind the scenes. I have wants and those wants cost money!
3. If the world as we know it was ending, and your only choices would be to become a vampire, become a vampire's food source (which wouldn't kill you or be painful) or become a mermaid, what would you choose and why? I think I would become a vampire. I mean you could live forever right and you could bite other people so they become vampires so you create endless friends! And you come out at night and get to party and sleep all day, how great would that be?
4. Tell me how you feel about pants. I love pants! It is basically all I wear. I am not a girly girl, so skirts are not my thing and I can't wear heels.
5. It irritates me that the orange is called an orange. Soooo not original. Rename it, please!I would rename it a Globose Berry!

To the 40 Construction Crew
On Saturdays, I like to sleep in. Could you maybe put off work until maybe 8?
They started work at 6 this morning. And during the week they start at 7. No wonder I am not sleeping.
They have been jackhammering for a month now, what can they be jackhammering? It is all dirt behind our house. It is going to be a long year.
Oh and our backyard is gone. They have ripped the trees out and they have bulldozed it.

Goin to the Castle
Sven and I are going to White Castle for Valentine's Day! We have been going for 5 or 6 years now, I am so excited.
We originally were going to see Joel McHale at the Pagent, but they are not setting up chairs for the show, so you literally have to stand the whole time. As much as we want to see him, we aren't standing for like an hour and a half, that's crazy. For a concert, okay, but for a stand up show, no way!
So, when our plans fell threw we thought about White Castle, but I never thought that we would be able to make a reservation. I mean they start taking reservations starting Jan 3, and ond only a few locations participating, so I wasn't too hopeful, but I thought with V-day being on a Saturday might help. I called and I was surprised that there were a couple locations that still had openings left! So, we are celebrating Valentines Day at the St. Peters White Castle! Did I mention that I am excited?

Lovely Kitty Bumps
We have slipcovers on our couches. We absolutely hate them, but need to have on the couches for the time being. But as much as we hate them our cat Tess loves them. See that bump coming from under the slipcovers? That is Tess, she loves to climb under the covers and sleep under them just like her sister and being under the covers on our bed.

Water, Water Everywhere! And Get the Chocolate Out!
I saw my doctor on Monday. I always feel so rushed with him. He is a great doctor but I don't think he takes the time with me. I had a doctor in Chicago that would spend an hour and a half with me if needed and answered every question and fear I had, sometimes I wish I was still seeing her.
I left feeling defeated, with no answers again, but I haven't progressed that much so that is good. Sometimes I wish I had so that they could really see that something is going on. So many times I go in there feeling like such a liar, I have this pain or that pain, but there is no reason to explain it.
I did get a new prescription that should help my abdominal pain (which my OB thinks is related to my condition but my neurologist laughed about), my headaches, my head pain and other things. So far no pain which is good, but two days of headaches (very mild ones) and with any medicine I start it is screwing up my balance and walking.
So Monday night, as I was walking to the kitchen I got up from the couch immediately lost my balance and went over the coffee table. I just lied on the floor til Sven came home. The second time, Sven was in the kitchen and we were cleaning up from dinner, I got up from the couch, steadied myself, grabbed the Saltinenes then BAM! fell on my right knee and threw those Saltines behind the TV. I was down for the count!
But also with this new medication cotton mouth is a side effect. I definately have got it, so now I am drinking water like crazy and going to the bathroom like crazy! The other thing is that you crave chocolate. I haven't gotten that craving yet, but we will have to get all the chocolate out of the house. I am not a huge chocolate person. What if we just have the WW chocolates in the house, will that make it better?
I left feeling defeated, with no answers again, but I haven't progressed that much so that is good. Sometimes I wish I had so that they could really see that something is going on. So many times I go in there feeling like such a liar, I have this pain or that pain, but there is no reason to explain it.
I did get a new prescription that should help my abdominal pain (which my OB thinks is related to my condition but my neurologist laughed about), my headaches, my head pain and other things. So far no pain which is good, but two days of headaches (very mild ones) and with any medicine I start it is screwing up my balance and walking.
So Monday night, as I was walking to the kitchen I got up from the couch immediately lost my balance and went over the coffee table. I just lied on the floor til Sven came home. The second time, Sven was in the kitchen and we were cleaning up from dinner, I got up from the couch, steadied myself, grabbed the Saltinenes then BAM! fell on my right knee and threw those Saltines behind the TV. I was down for the count!
