ole garbage disposal

Seriously, I can't even blog during lunch anymore.

(I now spend the whole time feeding my face.)

Here is my usual food routine:

breakfast number one

gingerale
crackers
coffee or cola -- my only caffeine of the day

breakfast number 2

nutri-grain bar
probiotic yogurtish shake
string cheese
yogurt (unless it's "fruit on the bottom." gag me.)

lunch

healthy choice steamer meal and a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese

or

a whole wheat bagel with mozarella cheese and roasted garlic hummus
tortilla chips
more string cheese
raw veggies with obscene amounts of green onion dip
water

afternoon work snack

carrot sticks
oyster crackers
almonds
granola bar

dinner

whatever hubs cooks for me. Monday it was Five Guys Burgers and Fries, last night it was pizza rolls. Tonight, he's grilling brats and we're having potato salad on the side!

dessert

cheesecake
ice cream sammies

night time snack

toast
more string cheese
half a pbj


Yeah, so all this talk about food has me FAMISHED.

Point of this post? Yes, I've been noshing CONSTANTLY, but when it comes right down to it -- nothing really sounds that fantastic.

What did you crave when you were preggers?

Sounds about right!
With my first child (boy), I craved berries, yogurt, and grapefruit. Very healthy.
With my second (girl), I stuffed in every little morsel of junk food I could find. Chips, cookies, you name it. In fact, when I went to the grocery store, I would buy a wedge of chocolate cake from the bakery and eat it in the car on the way home.

Sugar sugar and more sugar. Not a healthy choice.

I craved junk food all three times! Bad mommy, but I couldn't help myself.

You go girl!!! Forget about blogging and feed that baby!!! We'll be here with you listening to what you can't do because you're eating. Wait a minute why are you blogging? Aren't you hungry... maybe you should be eating!

Never having been pregnant, I of course had no food cravings. When the spousal unit was preggers, however, I had a very strong craving for the world's strongest air freshener. Along about the seventh month or so the spousal unit and I were staying in Rome and I went out for a cig and came back to the hotel and literally -- and I mean literally -- reeled back at the hurricane-force odor of flatulence that greeted me when I opened the door.

Anyway, eat up!

Ha. I love eating with my pregnant friends. They just relish their food, you know? So enjoyable.

The only food I remember craving was green olives - which I hated until I got pregnant. I could eat a whole jar in one sitting. Of course, I must've been eating a lot of other things because I gained 50 lbs of pregger weight (and only 7lbs of that was baby).

I've never been pregnant myself, but my mother used to crave rainbow sherbet ice cream mixed with green olives and whipped cream when I was in the oven.

I know. Gross.

I always wanted toast, cold cereal or burritos. Nothing weird. Oh, with one child I wanted peanut butter fudge constantly!

:) Just be glad you can eat and are not so sick that you can't eat anything at all. And you are eating WAY healthier than I ever did. Good for you!

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

a little ashamed

I've been feeling a little guilty lately. I think I'm sort of obsessed with my own blog. Seriously, I adore coming home for lunch in the middle of my workday. My plan is always to sit down and write. It's the perfect time to work. There are no distractions (other than the hungry rumble in my tummy) or reasons that I shouldn't be able to churn out a good amount of words before I head back to the world of checking account deposits and cash-in tickets. However, I find that when I come home for lunch, all I want to do is blog. My reader is full as a good girl's Christmas stocking, and then there's my own post -- just waiting to be written. Something alarmingly witty, for sure. Something that will generate the multiple comments I will hungrily read from my cell phone when I sneak out for a cigarette break at 4:00. So, I avoid the writing -- you know, of the fiction variety. I sit here, instead watching the text fill the blank screen of a New Po...

Sarah, Plain and Tall

Seriously, Sarah? I am more irritated with you now than I was when you called Katie Couric perky on Oprah this week (and wasn't that the annoying pot calling the whistling kettle black?) and more irritated than I was when the interview with Katie Couric aired and you couldn't think of one book or magazine that you read on the regular. (Oh, I'm sorry - you chose not to disclos e the titles of books and magazines and newspaper you devour, because Katie Couric was annoying you and treating you like an uneducated inuit.) Maybe you should have just swallowed your ego and mentioned Newsweek. I mean, I'm not suggesting that the cover page would look different if you had, but could you try any harder to alienate the media? I know, I know, they are all evil, with their leftist agendas and loose morals. I understand. It's so difficult when the world won't give a feminist maverick a fighting chance, and harder still when that maverick has been ordered to stay on scrip...
