High Points of The Day

• My sister Beth called me this morning, she's officially 33 days sober! This is incredible for a woman who has gone MAYBE 5 days at the longest without a drink before. Yes, she's the sister who was on COPS. Her big motivation right now is to get her drivers license and insurance (she's never had a license before) and be able to drive up to our Parents place so she can rub her success in my Mom's face. Hey, as long as it keeps her sober I'm happy! Sober Beth is the COOLEST Beth there is!
  
• Got a spindle of 50 DVD+R at Staples for $12! Now there can be much of the buring and the downloading! Got a screener copy of POTC:AWE sittign on my HD just waiting o be burned and viewed! Still looking for a decent copy of Grindhouse, though...
  
• We were up early enough to go to Garage Sales this morning! Picked up 4 VHS tapes of Veggie Tales for a quarter each, saving me the trouble of making illegal copies (Why do i feel that making illegal copies of stuff about Christian Morels is somehow deeply wrong?)
  
• The new Lap Band Fill I got a few days ago sems to be working excellently! I became absolutely STUFFED off of half a Kids Meal. I ate the hamburger patty, 1/3 of the fries, 2 bites of Hamburger Bun and a spoonfull of Molly's applesauce. STUFFED! I'm ating like dotgirl! (dotgirl being the only person I have ever known who could be stuffed and satisfied with just 7 pringles)
  
• Came home and made a totaly bitchin' Tuna Noodle Casserole for My Girls... FROM SCRATCH! I swear I will never again need or use a can of "Cream Of..." soup again! I got butter, I got a heaping talespoon of flour, I got onion-or-shallot-like aromatic veggies? I'VE GOT THE SAUCE, BABY!!!

You're eating less than me! These days, I can eat an entire Happy Meal! Cheeseburger *or* chicken nuggets. And sometimes, just sometimes, after I eat 4 chicken nuggets .. I feel like maybe I could have eaten 5. But not 6. That's just too many.

First: Wow.

Second: Does this mean you just want 7 bucks for the gamecube game? If so, I'll have to find some cash...

That might be a really good idea!

I agree with you on the FROM SCRATCH thing. Can't be beat no matter what the recipe.

I'm doing some dvd burning myself this weekend. Transferring from my dvr to my dvd recorder. Nothing so exotic as the POTC: ATW though.

hope you enjoy.

Making stuff from scratch takes longer but is almost always better: less sodium, less preservatives, less junk over all.

The lapband sounds so awesome! Popping a diet pill now so I don't make a total pig of myself at the movies. We went to a new sushi place last night and I ordered enough for 3 people because I wanted to try all the veggie things. At least I did take home 3/4 of the actual entree.
