Quote of the Week

Striker: Wow, I can really see it now (said while gesturing to the wife's belly).
Me: Are you calling me fat?
Striker: No, I'm calling you pregnant.

This is probably one of those times that you had to be there/here.

What's in Your Freezer?

This is not my freezer, but it belongs to a good friend. She actually encouraged me to post it. :)

Any guesses as to who lives alone and loves both ice cream and cupcakes?

Holy OG!

And the totals for my OG meal are:
2 breadsticks = 300 calories and 5 grams of fat
Half a boat of alfredo = 190 calories and 18 grams of fat
1 serving of salad = 350 calories and 27 grams of fat
1 bowl of pasta e fagioli soup = 130 calories and 2.5 grams of fat

Grand total = 970 calories and 52.5 grams of fat!!!!!

At least I can say I'm eating for 3! BTW, sodium isn't an obsession point for me since I'm not on high blood pressure meds like those I know, ahem, but I did stop what I was doing and send a BBM to Mr. KFuj to tell him to NEVER eat salad at OG, for fear it would give him a heart attack on the spot with it's almost 2,000 mg of sodium!!!!

OG, OMG

As of July 1st restaurants had to start posting nutritional information either on the table or on the menu (in 2011 it has to be on the menu). I have been completely obsessed on the 2 occasions I have dined out with reviewing the info for my regular selections. It's fun and horrifying at the same time.

Since KT had Olive Garden for dinner last night it sounded like a super idea for dinner tonight. Once seated and ordered, I immediately grabbed the binder of nutritional info and calculated the total calories and fat for my meal. Let's have y'all take your best guess on what I consumed in: 2 breadsticks and roughly half a boat of alfredo, 1 serving of salad, and 1 bowl of pasta e fagioli soup. I'll post the answer when either many of you have posted your guess or I grow too impatient.

BTW, I will never again order the Tour of Italy - 1450 calories and 74 grams of fat!!!

Twins - Week 15

First, please note that I got dressed specifically to take this picture for y'all. :) I am now once again in one of the hubby's t-shirts.

I have concluded that there are 2 reasons I don't look any bigger this week in this picture. 1) black is slimming and 2) I've been sitting or laying all day and the belly looks bigger after I've been walking around all day letting gravity do its thing.

Today was Day 1 of 13 on bed rest. I was bored by 8:30, but managed to find enough things to do to pass the time, and yes, napping was involved. Bianka FFSUing while having contractions filled some time as did the Big Brother premiere. Probably won't BBB every episode, just sporadically.

The lemons are now apples. Temp names are Fuji and Mac :) I guiltily ate sliced apples today until I justified that they were neither Fuji or Macintosh apples. Yes, I avoid eating whatever size food they are for that week.

I browsed Babies R Us and Target online today. Why are bottles so darn expensive?! I expected a fortune for diapers and formula, but bottles?! I asked KT for the rationale and unfortunately her BB was near death so we had to put that conversation on hold. Same with the Pampers vs Huggies debate - Pampers cheaper with Sesame Street characters vs Huggies with Disney characters.

With the now likelihood that both are boys, Striker and I began discussing names. We involved the Queen since she is good at naming stuff and she was surprised/baffled/astonished to learn that Striker's middle name is Martin, thus sharing the same first and last name as the Queen's dad and grand dad. (I suppose that if you don't know the Queen's maiden name or Striker's real first name, that was really confusing.)

What a Way to Go

Clearly the agitator was a problem, but huge vat of chocolate? Give me a fondue fork!
