Random Monday


  • I’m listening to Air America and the host Ron Kuby is doing a segment on the media’s obsession with “flip flopping” this election cycle. Where did I hear that before? 🙂
  • Did I mention the mosquito bites? The ones I got Friday evening while chatting outside in the twilight? Oh, they look horrible and they itch! What I want to know is – why? Growing up I was the one who never was bitten. In recent years though, apparently I taste a lot better to the little suckers. And when I do get bit, the area gets all angry pink and almost blistery. They are always on my legs and when I get up to walk the increased blood flow makes them itch like mad. I keep putting Benadryl cream on those, then of course the aloe on the sunburn. Yeah, I’m a mess. Somehow managed to sleep ok last night though.
  • Tomorrow is SB’s last day in town so I am taking he and his buddy to the county fair for fun rides and really greasy food. Then SB and I will go to the Padres game. I *will* take a picture of our favorite ride at the fair this year!
  • After listening to a rousing testimonial from one of the baseball moms about Dream Dinners, I went online and signed up. My first time there to pick up my meals will be July 2. I thought I would try it out in July when it is just mostly me and SP who will be eating. I can experiment with smaller portions and figure out what SB would like. It just seems like a great way to still serve good dinners at home once the little guy returns and we go head first into football season.
  • Book recommendation: Eat This, Not That! I read through almost all of it this weekend and it has some really good, easy to remember tips about how to maintain healthy eating habits at your favorite places and also which basic food items are better than others when you shop. Some of it is was pretty surprising! For instance, Chick-fil-A has no single sandwich on it’s menu that is over 500 calories. McDonald’s Bic Mac is tons better in a pinch than just about anything from Burger King. And so it goes. Great advice!

  1. Ouch to both the sunburn and the mosquito bites! I thought you said you don’t have bugs in southern California…? 😉

    At least you don’t have deerflies. Lordy, those things are killers.

    I would never have thought of a Big Mac as being better than just about anything from Burger King. Interesting.
