I'm a 39 yr old married chick who's pondering mommahood, becoming at peace with who I am at long last, finding my voice in this world... and you get to hear it. Lucky lucky you. ;) I am an INFP.

Coconut Ice Cream

What, am I obsessed with food or something?
Wellllll...noooooo...
Just so happens. You know how it is.

Anyhoo.
Have discovered the most Wonderful thing!
Coconut Almond Joy ice cream!
And I didn't even use to like coconut!!
Now, I have the most amazing recipe for a coconut cake...mmmmm... and then I come across this ice cream! I'm all about the coconut ice cream at the moment!
Problem is, I can only find it at this ONE shop, and it's a half hour from me. Grrrr.

I've already written to Ben and Jerry, so don't even think about stealing my idea.

Of course, I realize coconut ice cream is vastly different from my last post of steel cut oats
(correction: it's not McCain oats I used, it's Arrowhead Mills), but, I never claimed to be perfect.
And this on the heels of finding out my former 400 pound mother is now 160 pounds... which is exactly 100 pounds LESS than she was when I visited her last October!!! When we were the same weight! Except, I'm STILL that same weight, and the bitch (luv ya mom) now weighs what I WANNA WEIGH!!!!
fuck Me.

On the positive side, I HAVE finally made it back to the gym. Twice no less. Then my "visitor" sidetracked me... but am determined to get back in there Monday, full steam ahead.
Got new workout shoes, found my Madonna remix cd, located all the necessary clothes... I'm all set.
And as I told hubby, I actually LIKE working out, as in, the Process of Doing it. When I'm pushing myself and sweating on the treadmill, I actually Love how that feels! I'm just remembering all the times Oprah has said how much she hates working out. Well, girlfriend needs to get herself a discman! The only way I can ever walk/run any sort of distance.

We saw Oasis in concert tonight.
A - Can't remember the last concert I went to.
Oh wait. Actually, it was Madonna last summer. :) But before THAT it had been ages
B - Can't remember the last time I smelled pot. THAT was years and years ago. Like, another freaking Lifetime ago!!
C - I didn't think I 'felt' older... but....surrounded by 20somethings tonight.. Yeah, I feel older. And I'm ok with that. Wouldn't trade places with any of them. Wouldn't mind their extra 20 or so years of life on me, but.... w/e.
Oasis was good. We left before 'Wonderwall' to beat the traffic. In fact, we RACED our old asses to the car, trying to assess from the cheering crowd how much time we had to make it out the gates. But, got to hear Champagne Supernova.. that was good. And Liam is a hottie, even though I couldn't see his face with that freaking hat on and bad lighting. Oh well. At least they showed up for the gig, which was more than I expected to begin with.

I think the nanny thing is winding down sooner than I expected.
My girl... little miss who is entering high school next year.... called me "hired help" the other day.
I've been there OVER 5 FREAKING YEARS! Have been there for her more than her own freaking Mother at times... MANY times!! And she STiLL thinks of me as the HELP.
Well, Fuck All.
Time for this 'chauffeur' to start retirement. And for Little Miss to come off her high horse.
Am starting to really enjoy my increased time at home anyway. I LOVE being home, with my babies, doing what I want. Heck, I might even start cleaning this place if this keeps up. Anything is possible. Though, i DO still want a housekeeper. I'm Taaahhhrd.

Good Hell. 3:00 am. Why am I still up?
Zoloft hasn't kicked in yet I guess. Or could it be the junior whopper meal I got on the way home from the concert? : /
Yes, i am TOO trying to lose weight! I'd barely eaten anything today! : p
