printer woes

Update: I restarted the computer. It works now. Guess I have to get healthy. Sheesh.
______________________

Alright, so I have this plan. Believe it or not, it's not really to gain the expected 25-35 pounds in the next few weeks. Tell that to the snack cupboard. It's oddly emptier every day.

I made this nice little chart with some daily goals. Easy stuff, like drinking eight glasses of water, taking a vitamin, and maybe just maybe not engorging myself on chips and dip every night. I can't print it off. Don't know why. The printer is refusing to print it. You'd think that the printer Steven bought that was cheaper than buying a new ink cartridge would do the job.

Apparently not.

Guess I'll just have to forgo the daily chart thing and just wing it. Ketchup chips, here I come.

Fiction...drinking 8 glasses of water a day. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=eight-glasses-water-per-day
I've heard this in other reports too, including Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz once reported that drinking 8 glasses of water a day was not necessary IF you are eating a full day of healthy food (he had a table of food to demonstrate) i.e. fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.
Lately I've watched the times I feel thirsty and think if I been eating properly...most times I have not, so I visit the fridge instead of grabbing water. This might be very circumstancial for me now, b/c i'm so busy with Caden rght now, i forget to eat or eat properly.

I've heard that too. There are very distinct camps on this one!

yes, wouldn't doubt that. I'm going with Fiction, i'm starting to get very "conspiracy theory" with food and food companies operating these days. I wonder if the 8 cups of water came from a water company sponsored study. Funny where a lot of "studies" come from. Have you watched the movie Food Inc.? A documentary on the US food industry, pretty disturbing how many corners are cut for food companies to make a buck (or millions of bucks). I should write a post about my stance :)

It's really disturbing how little "natural" food we eat these days! Everything comes out of a box or a can and is made with bleached flour and multiple "ose's"!

I think it was a sign that your list is too demanding. Add a couple of reachable goals. Like: Empty the cupboard, ASAP.

That should do it.

You know, that's not even on my list and yet I accomplish it every night! I definitely feel as though I have gone above and beyond my own expectations!

today's to-do's

Things to do: dust. As if. It's been on my list for weeks, I mean, days. prepare income tax stuff. Too bad it's all scattered within different piles of papers throughout the house, garage, back lane, trunk of the neighbor's car. sort piles of paper (see previous). cook carrots and sweet potatoes. Puree into a delicious paste to be fed to the baby and sneaked into my family's dinner. make dinner (or "supper", if I don't want to sound all hoity toity ). Add "orange puree" and "white bean puree" to the pizza sauce. Wait to see if husband notices. daydream of the day when Steven's scurvy clears up. pick up the big kids from school (it lets out in 8 minutes. I should probably go now). okay, going . . . . . . okay, back. You'd be pleased to know that although school let out only 8 minutes after I posted that last bullet, I first went down and switched my wash into the dryer and started another load in the washer. I remember, once upo

dinnertime/breakfast time woes

Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

two things: one to do with running, the other with my fastly-deteriorating fashion sense

I've started running again. I'm not sure if I ever "officially" stopped, but I only ran twice in August, totalling about nine miles, so I kind of felt like when I restarted in September that I was, well, restarting. This is probably not even blog-worthy. It would probably be better served disappearing into the chasm that is facebook, but I need blog topics, so here it is. I once had a friend (coughcoughangelacough) who said that she didn't run outside because she was afraid that just maybe, she ran "funny," and people would see her. Being an awesome friend, I insisted that surely she didn't. I lied. I have never even seen her run. I have just recently decided that she does run funny. Wanna know why? (as if spell check didn't underline 'wanna') Everyone runs funny. Quite seriously, everyone . I prefer to run outside, because the treadmill sucks my will to live, and a mile or two in I turn into a sighing, eye-rolling teenager, o
