Cake: The Saboteur

I know I made a resolution to be healthier. Then I made a cake. A yellow angel food cake to be more specific. I rolled the edges in powdered sugar and made a homemade chocolate frosting that drips down the sides. It's awesome. It's my most favorite cake in the whole wide world. I made it on Sunday and have eaten a piece (or two) every day since.
On the bright side, it goes perfectly with the resolution to do things that make me happy.
Nothing makes me happier than eating cake.
Except maybe a nap.
It's a toss up.

Random Stuff for a Saturday...

My first completely free day in a long time. No work. No school. No homework! I started my day this morning by making a green smoothie. I got the recipe and idea from this website as she's been having them all week. I thought I'd actually try one. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't usually eat/enjoy healthy foods. Give me candy any day. But I am trying to make an effort to be healthy. This smoothie had: a banana, peaches (tip: take the sticker off before putting in the blender) honey, water, and a handful of spinach...yes spinach. It's supposed to be filling and good for you. Not so much...I even added a dollop of vanilla yogurt. I think it was the texture.

I only drank half the glass. I think I'll try different ingredients tomorrow.

After the smoothie, Spiderman and I went to Target( hadn't been all week) and the grocery store. We're having a party tomorrow to celebrate Spiderman's birthday. Speaking of birthday's...today is my sister Abbie's birthday. She's spending the day driving back to Colorado from a brief visit home. If you want to read a great Birthday tribute, my mother wrote one over here.

Happy Birthday, Bean! I hope it's a great one!

Hormones--They're good for you...Really.

Today I started my period. No really...that's a good thing. I'm over two weeks late. I've been waiting to start so that I can start taking Clomid (a fertility drug that will hopefully help me get pregnant with only ONE baby and not a litter!) For a while I was excited thinking that I was pregnant. After 4 or 5 negative pregnancy tests (I'm not obsessive) I called the doctor and they did a blood test. No baby....but still no period. So for the last week they've had me jacked up on hormones to induce it. Let me tell you...Hormones are AWESOME! I've been SO pleasant. Just ask my husband.
This morning I woke up bleeding as though someone stabbed me (attractive isn't it?) curled in a fetal position with horrible cramps. Even though I would have loved to stay in bed occasionally whimpering and eating huge amounts of chocolate, I still had school. I pulled on some sweatpants and headed out. I don't know about any of you but I become a Lean, Mean, Eating Machine once a month. On my way home from school I decided that I Really, Really, Desperately needed me some Taco Bell. About halfway home I decided to start snacking and noticed that they forgot to include the nachos to go along with my cup of cheese. Deep Breaths, Sarah. A cup of cheese is never bad. I briefly considered just eating it with a spoon. Thank God, Spiderman reminded me that we have chips at home. Anyway....I decided that I also needed some cookies to make up for the nacho incident. So here is what my healthy lunch looked like.
Maybe today would be a good day to start training for my Cancer walk. I probably need the exercise after this.
