monday, oct 27

peanut has been showing signs of another hunger strike and i was pretty despondent on monday. KP was out of town too and that made dealing with her even harder. i'm sure that i cried more than once! thanks to my wonderful flickr friends, i was able to calm down and come up with a game plan for dealing with her food mood swings.

i now only put her at the table for dinner and i read to her and distract her while getting her to eat. the rest of the day, i let her snack and eat when she wants to. i've noticed that now she has started asking for food at odd times of the day! so i just feed her and try not to form her into some sort of "traditional meal times" mold. we'll all eat together as a family someday. it does not have to be today.

i bought a 1/2 peck of apples from the grocery store on monday and used it to make apple dumplings on tuesday. minty came over to partake and brought toffutti vanilla ice cream which was really good! it inspired me to try their tofu cream cheese later in the week (which i also liked.)

i had a nice relaxing day at home because i wasn't lazy for once! i got my shower in before peanut woke up and was able to take it easy the rest of the day.

i'm ripping through my netflix queue at an unbelievable pace thanks to start trek voyager. i swear that i'm going to watch all 7 or 8 seasons back-to-back.

halloween was such a nice day! peanut and i spent some time outside our building hanging out after gymboree and then KP came home early so that we could take her trick-or-treating. it was such a fun night! check out this video of her getting into her costume. so cute i could die.

seeing as i didn't have any netflix at home, i signed up for hulu finally and KP figured out how to wire me up in the office. i'm looking for good TV recommendations! post some in the comments.

sunday, nov 2

most of my long time readers know how much i loved the gym at my last job and probably have been wondering if i missed it. the short answer: hell yes. so much so that KP went out and got me a gym membership on saturday and i immediately went and took advantage of it on sunday! it's nice to be back.

p.s. my U.S. friends, don't forget to vote tomorrow!
