ianukWork was a bit tiring. I'm waiting on people to do stuff or call me back and I really hate that. I did some documentation writing and that might be par for the course this week. Getting all of my outlines that are in my head into electronic form would be rather nice and months ahead of schedule. On the way home I was feeling kind of poorly. The tummy was cramping again and after thinking about it this morning on the drive in I think I'm a bit dehydrated. I didn't drink much but coffee on monday (bad me) and yesterday I only had just over a liter at work and coffee. So, I'm gonna push water and see...course it could also be that I had some yogurt that wasn't too good. Don't eat the stuff you find at the back of the fridge. Sighs.
So, when I got home, I laid down and listened to podcasts and then got laundry going and listened to more podcasts. By that point mel had woven 2 repeats on the loom and I had a piece of toast. Felt somewhat better with that and water but I kinda moped along. I got all of the beads sewn on to hammer #4 and started in on the red tambour. By the time practice rolled around I wasn't up for getting armored up and the storm hit the house. Guess practice got rained out so I shouldn't feel guilty. I sat on my but and watched tv and did embroidery until 930. I got all of the red tambour done and then started in on the white. My goal is to get these done by monday. We have a pretty relaxed schedule for the weekend and friday off so I think its doable and if I finish that I can start another project!!! Woot! I have startitis right now. I want to start something new to cut my boredom but I will persevere! So, I slept good last night and for once I'm tired but I don't think I need to sleep more.
So, I've been meaning to do some product reviews of things I've been trying of late, if you aren't interested .

A couple weeks ago I started using products which are made specifically for folks with naturally curly hair. I like the gentle shampoo but the conditioners still seem a bit heavy for my hair when I wash it at night. If I do it during the day, all things are golden. I really like the spray gel and my hair has been really soft and cute. I will probably get full size bottles of the products soon but the sample pack was inexpensive to be able to try all of the products.
Avon Solutions PM Face Cream
Check out the website for this nice cream. I didn't think I needed nighttime moisture but it sure seems to be exactly what my face wants. Its very nice. I'm also using the eye cream and its also been nice. My bags under my eyes are gone!
So, after trying things I like, I'm going to talk about things I don't like. I'm a big fan of Kashi Go Lean Crunch but I am not a fan of Kashi Go Lean Cereal..with its "crunchy fiber twigs" bleah. Mel told me to buy it to try it and I'm not a fan. I don't use it like normal cereal, I use it to boost my yogurt in the morning and its making my yogurt pretty yucky. Bleah. I will not buy this again and will go back to buying Crunch.
Also interesting to note, I got a response from Senator Jon Kyl about my recent letter to him about the excise tax on beer. He wrote me a very short but to the point letter on how he agrees with my stance and that of AHA/BA and will be fighting to get it out of the bill. I'll transcribe it but I was very touched to find that 1) he actually read my email and 2) he responded personally versus a form letter. Go BEER!
So, I've been reading up on eating things for higher protein again and I think we need to start keeping a few things in the house more. But other than that I just need to start parcelling out things so I up the protein. After we try some of the protein drinks we shall see what I can tolerate. But in a step in the right direction mel steamed up an entire package of chicken breast and portioned things out to the freezer and fridge and we bought tuna so I can have that. All good and steps in the right direction. No in a step in the wrong direction I hope to make carrot bread tonight in a bundt to take to work. Course I only had a very small piece of the lemon yesterday so eh. All things in moderation before lunch.
