Re: B&M Monday

CONGRATS!!!!
Dana--congratulations!!!!
Leslie,
It's definitely not all sunshine and roses here either. The snoring, OMG, the snoring!!! And Bill does stupid stuff that I just shake my head at, count to ten (sometimes, multiple times), and then ask why he did that.
And, probably only Lacey will appreciate this, but Bill almost bought me Hogwarts castle (in Legos) the other night. Target had all the sets on sale last week, by one get one 50% off. But, alas, no Harry Potter Legos for me.
Yesterday, I saw my dad for the first time in a couple of weeks. He had lost all his teeth due to his illness but got some new ones about ten days ago. It was so weird to see my dad with all those teeth.
I completely agree Brianna, I happen to love veggies but unless I eat them with every meal which I dont I wont get in 4-6 servings of them a day and that is what I aim for. Throwing spinach in smoothies and broccoli slaw in spaghetti is a wonderful way to get extra servings in without much effort.
Ladies that think green monsters are scary I promise they only look scary they taste like whatever fruit you put in them.
Dana- Congrats, so happy for you.
Angie, YAY!!
Oh, your poor baby!!!! I hope she's okay.
There is this poor girl over on Getting Pregnant who keeps getting TTC buddies and then they get pregnant the very next cycle. She is now in high demand and I feel really bad for her because she can get everyone else pregnant but herself.
Although it is very not funny I couldn't help but laugh (and doom myself to TTC-hell) for thinking about the broken buddy conversations over here.
Congrats Dana!!!!
I've made two GMs so far (after reading about them on here), and mine haven't turned out that green. Is it because of the fruit I use, or the amount of spinach (which is a handful)?
Bio Good Times
Use more spinach - it won't affect the taste - it's like magic!
DH asked me to make him more kale chips this weekend and I nearly fell out. Really? Kale? Voluntarily?!?
If you use blueberries or blackberries it will likely be a muddy type color. If I use banana, peaches and strawberry then it is bright green. I usually use 2 big handfuls of spinach in mine which makes them a little greener.
I just got off the phone with the vet and she is doing AWESOME, they gave her a shot of something and said she is back to her normal self!
Thank You!
I was just thinking about the length because it's 3 weeks away. It seems normal but I don't get why it's normal.
How did you tell your DH?
Bio Good Times
Hahaha. I'm sorry. That made me chuckle. I'm such an insensitive biitch.
It's because they normally can't pick up anything on a sono until about 6-8 weeks so they just wait until 8 weeks unless you're a high risk pregnancy. Meaning you've had miscarriages in the past, then they see you sooner.
What recipe did you use for the kale chips?
OMG that is horrible. I can't imagine how she feels.
Dana: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!
Six Flags yesterday wore me out! It was packed too. But I got my little brother to ride the Judge Roy Scream, and to see him so excited and proud of himself after he did it was awesome.
I'm ready for this work day to be over!!!! Picking DH up from the airport at 4:30.
Dana- Congrats! That is so exciting! :-)
Lauren- I actually measure my spinach out and have used 2 cups and then today I used 2 1/2. Mine turns out pretty green!

That's how I do mine too. BL has me hooked on greek yogurt (I like the kind w honey) so I put that in there with just a itty bitty splash of OJ for extra tartness. One of those 2-cup bottles of OJ last me a month. No one should be scared of the GM, they are delicious and you can't even taste the fresh spinach.
Dana- Congrats! I am so excited for you
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

It was pretty tasty. DH actually brought them out to his friends in the garage and had them eat some too. I was shocked.
We had a great weekend, so no B&M for me! Courts' first wedding went great, and I did a ton of cooking, which I love.
Dana - Congratulations!! That is so exciting!
Re Fights with DH: A friend of mine said a while back "One reason we struggle with insecurity: We're comparing our behind the scenes to everyone else's highlight reel." So it's useless to try to compare your relationship with someone else's, because you can never really know what's going on with them, and you're the only one who really knows what's going on with you.
I am going to try making these next week. Hopefully DH will like them!

I think I am off the GM bandwagon, sadly. After having 3 last week, my stomach rebelled. I have problems handling green veggies which is why I was excited about these--usually I have more problems with cooked green veggies than raw and spinach salads don't bother me. But maybe that's because I don't have 3 of them in a row like I did the smoothies.
Plus I couldn't get them sweet enough. They just tasted like milk. I might try again this week and use a diffrent milk. Maybe it was the milk that bothered me and not the spinach.
Dana, congratulations! So happy for you.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
This is great.
Love that!!
Julie - Howart's lego castle? Uh - awesome!
Dana - Congrats!!
I don't have a B&M today, it's been a pretty good day so far.
What kind of milk did you use?

The day keeps on rolling. I work in an office with 3 guys and a post-menopausal woman. I just had a period related embarrasing moment, like top 10 in my life.
I also just chipped my big toe polish. Just got them done last Sunday. What a waste.
