Keeping You Posted

I end a lot of blog posts with, "I'll keep you posted."

I never do.

Probably because five minutes after I mention it, I forget I told you about it.  It's still a priority in my head - and I get to it, I just don't report.  And really, that's the important part.  I lack follow through, and for that I am sorry.

Here are the last two things I was supposed to tell you about:


Quinoa:

I made it for lunch.  I mixed it with black beans, corn, cilantro, and lime.  Rob was really impressed - and I would give it a seven out of ten.  It was pretty good, both warm and cold....but I made a massive batch and ate it for several days straight.  For now, I'm a bit sick of it.  I will make it again, but it's not the food of my dreams like I hoped it would be. Oddly enough, the main reason I wanted to make it was to replace my every day lunch (a frozen weight watchers meal) with something different.  I have since returned to my frozen meal with a renewed love.

The Dress:

I mentioned a few days ago that I was in love with this dress.  Then I got a "special secret sale" email from the store which announced that all dresses and skirts were on sale for $25 ONE DAY ONLY!  I ran right over, tried on the dress, and hated it.

The material was super static-y (apparently that's not a word) and the neck was really wide.  To say the least, it was ugly.

Update complete.  I will now carry on with my regularly scheduled blog posts.

BDEM:  Jude asked if I could go buy an air hockey table this afternoon.  After I explained that there was absolutely no chance, he went ahead and made two paddles? (what are they called in air hockey?) out of paper, then made a puck out of a paper plate.  He set it up on our end table, and we played best of five.  It was ridiculously fun, and much cheaper and quieter than a real air hockey table.  

Water:  55 oz
