MY LATEST...

Bloggy experience: meeting up with these girls for dinner

bloggie dinner

stolen picture from andrea of our yummy time together.

I really want to photoshop my shiny face...but that's beside the point. I had a great time with Andrea, Annie and Liz.

Temptation: nutty bars. I got a box (for the first time in about 10 years) and put them in the drawer. The next afternoon we're all hanging out in the family room together and I hear Miss 9 yr-old say, "hm. What's a nudey bar?" We fully enjoyed our nudey bars and yes, they are addicting. I bought a second box on my next trip to the grocery store and hid it so I could have them ALL to myself. (Which I did. In two days. ALL of them. Myself.) Oh, boy. It's all I want as I'm typing this. Alas, I have restrained myself which leads me to my next latest...

Guru: Dr. Andrew Weil. I have loved him for years. He's a health guru and I like the way he's realistic, and he isn't sensational. Everything he says makes sense to me. After my nutty bar binge I decided that it was time to get back to the basics. So I rented a bunch of library books like "get the sugar out" and "eating raw" and the like but they were a little much and instead of inspiring, they made me roll my eyes. Then I re-read one of Dr. Weil's books and have been eating much fresher and better. Because I want to. (unless you include all that home made carmel corn...)

Party: make your own tie die

Playgroup: strawberry picking and the beach

Book series: The Gemma Doyle trilogy

Delight: fresh homemade salsa

Movie: Wall-E. So incredibly imaginative! Two thumbs up. (didn’t keep my 4 yr-old’s attention though, so there may be an age limit.)

Death in the family: Mrs. Crabby Crab. Maybe I didn’t change her water enough…but then again, maybe it had to do with the multiple escape attempts. (it’s a long fall to the floor!)



okay, the man of the house is home and my new book is calling...happy sunday!

I love Anna's face..."YO DUDE!" You know I love the Salsa! Dr. Weil is a wise man-I could definately use his council right now...I need to get off the Doritos!

Dan and I love those nutty bars. We go on "peanut butter bar" runs a little too often. They are a guilty pleasure (when we're down in the dumps) treat. I like to see if I can peal them apart without losing any of the peanut butter goodness. It's a silly game.
HUGS,
Kat

I love your recipes!

Wall-E didn't keep Jayne's attention either! She was scared when Eve's spaceship came and that was it for the rest of the movie.

Miss you so much!!!
