whew, managed somehow to get through monday alive. it was a spectacularly beautiful day, and we spent part of it planting many things in the garden, including carrots, which bunnies totally devoured last year. perhaps that won’t happen this year, because we’re allegedly going to have a fence around the garden, plus some pet or another will hopefully EAT the bunnies. because the bunnies really must go.
i haven’t looked up any recipes for pet food yet, but i have been spending some time at a food-related site. people food and nutrition, that is. it’s called sparkpeople.com. and if you happen to have any obsessive-compulsive eating issues, any concerns about dieting and all of that, i highly, HIGHLY recommend this site. it’s totally free, and when you sign up you can input the food that you eat in a day and it tells you how many total calories you’ve eaten and it breaks it all down into how much fat and carbs and protein and everything, you can select whatever vitamins or anything that you want to track, and it’s incredibly user-friendly. and once i start filling in all the food i ate in a day, it was fascinating to see it as a pie chart.
not a pie you could eat, however.
one good thing is that i’ve been so busy adding the food i’ve eaten, i haven’t been focusing on eating too much, plus i know that whatever i eat, i’ll then have to type it in and i don’t want to be horrified by the total number of calories i’ve consumed in a day.
i try not to bore you with my dieting obsession, but on the other hand i know that plenty of people have this exact same obsession, so you should really take a look at that site.
aside from that…monday is over. it was a perfectly fine day, too, it was just that sunday night thing that was so bad. maybe next sunday night i need to go bowling or something, to take my mind off the beginning of another week, which will be just fine anyway.
we tried on our costumes for “sleeping beaty” on sunday, and they’re going to be very fancy. except kevin is wearing a dress and it’s going to be very very short only they hadn’t hemmed it yet so it looked like a red tunic or pinafore or something. luckily he’s the one who’s going to be wearing the very short dress, not me. i get to wear a train.
next weekend we’re going to a tractor pull. a LAWN tractor pull, no less. kevin almost coerced me into being the MC for the tractor pull, but i said that maybe they should find somebody who actually knows something about lawn tractor-pulling.
instead we’ll be signing in the tractor-pullers. it should be QUITE a day.
ok then,
monday grace.
