Emma got a pack of UNO cards from Wendy’s today. Pretty cool actually. But Emma decides she’s going to spread them out, face down and have me play memory with her. Well, that’s pretty creative, I thought. But wait, Emma, do we match on color or number? Emma insists color AND number. Well, Emma, that’s going to be pretty hard, there’s only one number per color. No, we have to match on both she still insists. Alrighty, I’ll play along. So we start turning cards over. I turn over a yellow 2 and green 2. Emma says Nope! They don’t match. A few rounds of that and she says, Man! No one’s ever going to win. Ha, I’m thinking, she’ll see this really won’t work, like her wise mother insists. Oh, but then, she turns over the wild card that has each color. And then guess what else she turns over? The other wild card that has each color. They match!, she screams and then singingly taunts, I got a ma-atch and yo-ou do-on’t. I’m winning and you don’t have anything! Yes, Emma is quite competitive. Ok, great. So we continue playing, and all I can think is man, this game is going to be a while

she hearts the internet
Emma is a computer-holic. She’s very familiar with playhousedisney.com, noggin.com, barbie.com, etc. She was sort of whiny yesterday, asking me to go to different sites. She’d look around at her toys and go, I want to go to HelloKitty.com or I want to go to HollyHobbie.com. Ok, I would say, assuming there was such and sure enough there was. One time, she walked in her play room, looked around and said, Mommy, I want to go to princessandthepauper.com. LOL. Em, I don’t think there is such. I checked to make sure and no, there is not a princessandthepauper.com. Maybe I should tell Mattel though they need to buy that domain, there’s a little 4 year old expecting it.
grrr…
Posted a 1/2 lb gain this morning. No wonder people quit dieting. Play by the rules and STILL gain. So one week, 3 lbs lost. I guess if I was only doing weekly weigh-ins, I wouldn’t be so disappointed but still. Grrr.
Google Reader
Um, can someone please tell me why I haven’t been using Google Reader this whole time? I’ve always loved anything Google makes and it’s WAY easier than opening a dozen web sites. So people, if I read your blog and you keep track, I’m the additional feed reader from last night.
WW Day 7
I was way under my points yesterday especially after gaining points going to a class at the gym but my weight maintained this morning. In case it’s hard to keep track, I’ve lost 3.5 lbs since I started last week and to meet my goal, I’d like to lose at least 2.5 more lbs, 4.5 if I’m being greedy. I had hoped I’d continue with a pound a day, making this just a week process but it looks like the last few might be stubborn.
In really good news, I’ve found I actually like eating different, healthier things. Last night I made sweet potatoe fries and they were delicious. In fact, I think I would take a plate of those over McD’s fries any day. I’ve found that I really like tomato sandwiches and the skinny cow ice cream sandwich fixes my ice cream craving just as well as a chocolate milkshake. I’m not sure if I’ll stick to having 18 points a day for the rest of my life, but I do think this has opened my eyes a little to trying healthier, new foods and actually enjoying them.
Protected: better than i thought

I just found out my manager got me a 14% raise, all on his own, just because I do a great job. Holy cow! That’s awesome!
