A Few Random Nothings

[quidditchgrrl]

I should really be getting to bed. There's a staff meeting tomorrow, two interviews, and then an advisory board meeting. Gah.

But, anyway. I thought you all might like some random crap in the midst of all the head-exploding goodness.

-Honeybunch bought Diet Dr Pepper today *eyes shiftily* You didn't hear that.
-My younger sister's baby shower (did I mention that? She's due in November, near my birthday) is this weekend. Oh, the joy of overbearing relatives and super-controlling co-hostesses. My sister's mother-in-law asked if she should bring wine...lol.
-OSU v. Texas Saturday! W00t!
-I have discovered the joy that is Van's Waffles. They're vegan, and they are yum-my!

I'm trying to go at least semi-vegetarian. It's just healthier, and I have a hard time digesting most meat now. Tofu has been my friend these last few months, because you can't live on Zone bars as a source of protein forever. Nearly killed myself eating tomato sandwiches, after seeing roguebitch post about them...totally worth the gaping holes in my stomach, though.

Question: do any of you ever copy tracks to your PC, only to discover them missing later? This is happening to me quite a bit, and I wonder if RealPlayer is pulling them off for some reason. These aren't pirated, either. Grr.

And with that, to bed.

That it is. There's even a word for it. Flexitarian! Years ago, while traveling I went vegan, but it's too difficult to stick to when your husband and kids eat meat. So I just have meat maybe twice a week, and enjoy vegetarian most of the time. I always order vegetarian when we eat out, because it's something different, tasty, and healthier than the usual fair.

Yes, that's me - flexitarian! They just opened up a Whole Foods Market close by, which is a plus.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! \:D/

♥ Thank you. And hope the baby shower goes well! Is she having a theme?

[quidditchgrrl.livejournal.com]

Thankfully, no theme. She's having a girl (Natalie Elizabeth) and we're having it at her neighbor's house. It's been one thing after another, though, business as usual! lol

Love your icon!

Oh, I once saw an article with a TV actress who had a book theme -- everyone was asked to bring their favourite childhood book for the baby's library and they all got a copy of the couple's favourite book in return, which I thought was lovely.

And yay for Natalie Elizabeth! Hope it all goes well.

W000t! Hooray for nationally-televised games that won't be interrupted to show us some other game because nobody on the east coast cares about the Big 10!

Aww, you can't eat tomato sandwiches? *vows to enjoy a few in your honor*

[quidditchgrrl.livejournal.com]

Nope, too much acid in the tomatoes, especially fresh ones.

[instantramen]

That makes sense.

[roguebitch.livejournal.com]

I am SO sorry my rhapsodizing about my tomato sandwich caused you such pain! I hope they were at least briefly enjoyable.

[quidditchgrrl.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally worth it - sun-warmed tomato slices on toast with mayo, salt and pepper. Yum.

thanks *hugs* good luck going semi-veggie.

Dude, you should seriously try Arrowhead Mills multi-grain waffle and pancake mix. It is teh shit. I usually add a couple of teaspoons of turbinado sugar when I mix it up, but they make killer waffles and pancakes! I don't know if they sell it where you are, but try to find it because it's the best.
