lub sweet lub: the little things in life

i need to paint this sign for our house

today has been a busy day -- all about little things. wondering why on earth the post office has SUCH a hard time getting our mail right. trying to figure it out over the phone with scott while he's working. doing massive amounts of laundry. honestly, we are two people! i know i like things clean but really now.

i spent a large chunk of the morning in my pj's after sending scott off to work (bag lunch today, we're trying to be uber healthy now. more on that in a minute) filling out an application for a preschool. also emailing old coworkers and some friends to vouch for my moral character and great dislike for eating small children. please note how i did not ask robin. heh heh.

i am also going to spend a good portion of this week painting our living room area. the green makes me irritable, quite honestly, so my mother and i decided it's time to Go! it's shiny and your living room should not be shiny.

back to our health nutiness. scott and i became suddenly inspired by heidi and robin and their great talents for eating green things in truck loads. but more importantly, their dedication to the Eat To Live program. If you have not heard of it, it's worth googling/reading his book. of course, i have not yet read the book myself...i am too cheap. my mother ordered it and scott and i are going to read it once she is done.

our version for now is trying to stay away from processed foods, dairy (we have a little - no one should be asked to live without Feta), and make veggies the main part of our meals instead of meats. i think scott feels better already, and personally, i quite enjoy all the fruits and vegetables. we are having whole wheat organic toast in the morning with some fruit and tea, and hummus with wheat pitas and more vegetables for lunch.

it shall be an interesting experiment.

other things that i am doing with my time: horrible chores like Cleaning the Tub. i tell you, that tub has it in for me. we wrestled for a long time before i finally gave him a good one-two-upper cut to the faucet that sent him reeling. i walked out of that bathroom sweaty, bruised, and proud.

i have, however, made a great discovery in my time here alone. by myself. without another soul.

i am not cut out to be a housewife. not at least, until i have a child or two i suppose. it gets a little too lonely here for me. i need things to do, places to go, people to talk to other than mr. dishwasher and ms. hoity toity bathroom sink. two more weeks with only grocery shopping and the mail box to get me out of here and i'd lose it. and scott wonders how i could have possibly watched all of season 1 better off ted in one day. ha.

well, laundry and season 2 are calling so it's time to sign off here. but first, check out these cute characters that have moved in
