...than funny fart stories.

at my current clinical i work with a lot of old people. and sometimes they fart. and maybe i'm immature because i think farts are funny, but sometimes it's really hard not to giggle.

i found this post the other day on dooce.com, a new blog i've started to read. i laughed out loud at it and decided i had to share it.

...than green smoothies.

i've been into smoothies for a while. for a while i was into putting carrots into my smoothies. they blended well and were just another way to pack in some extra veggies.

it was time to move on. recently i read in Real Simple (my new favorite magazine, since apparently i have the same interests as 35 year old housewives) about how kale is a superfood, filled with beta-carotene, vit C, calcium and antioxidants. now, before this i didn't have any thoughts about kale. didn't really know what it was. but then i read how it's great to go in smoothies. i love smoothies! it goes great in my strawberry mango smoothie. the only downside is that it makes my smoothie green, which makes me feel like a health nut who drinks wheat grass and beet juice.

green strawberry mango smoothie:

frozen strawberries

frozen banana

frozen mango

kefir lowfat strawberry greek yogurt

naked mighty mango juice

fresh mango

a few leaves of blanched and frozen kale

I'm so happy to announce that my best friend Jess and her husband, Ben, welcomed their first baby into the world today at 7:38am. At 7lb 10oz, Ethan Leonard is perfect and healthy!

Mom and baby are doing great.

My duties now begin. I told Jess I'd feed him late at night when I stay at their house and get in at 2am, cut his nails, teach him how to say 'shit, bitch' and always cut up his food.

I can't wait to meet him this weekend! I'm sure I'll fall in love with him right away!

...than a fresh start

New year, decided I needed to start a new blog. I got tired of my old one and had a hard time formatting it how I wanted - so I decided to come here!

I've decided that I need something to remind me of the small things that bring happiness to me crazy, hectic, often stressful days. 

Here it goes...
