PBJK

I am typing this while you are watching the Superbowl. Ah, the joys of being cableless. Although if the Yankees have a good this year, we may have to spring for the $20 basic cable package.

The morning sickness continues. It has been challenging, because it is difficult for me to cook dinner, or even be around something cooking. After I smell food being prepared, the last thing I want to do is eat it. SO, we have been relying on some takeout food recently. It is so much easier for me to eat something that is just ready to go. Hopefully this will get better soon, because how many healthy fast food places can you name?

So today, we had some shopping to do, and decided to stop at Quiznos since they had a buy one get one free coupon in the paper. Well, you know how the coupons always say "Valid at participating locations only"? Have you ever been to a store that actually said, "Sorry, we're not participating in that coupon"? Well, welcome to the Lancaster Quiznos. They had a big sign up saying that they were not honoring the coupons. So we left. Could we afford to buy two subs? Of course. But it's a matter of principle.

Now, I am STARVING at this point. I had already had to pick up some trail mix at Target and eat it while walking through the store, before even paying for it. So I needed FOOD. I didn't have time to drive around. So we ended up at the closest place -- Five Guys Burgers and Fries. SUPER HEALTHY. This was my first time there and I give it my endorsement. YUM.

We had packed Alex a lunch, but gave him a few of our fries. And we gave him a little cup of ketchup. I taught him how to dip fries in ketchup (something every one year old should know), and he thinks it's really fun. So he ate his three fries. Then he proceeded to dip his pretzels in the ketchup. Then he dipped his sandwich in there! And ate it! And liked it! So he is the inventor of a new sandwich, the PBJK. That is, the Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Ketchup sandwich.

Wait, do you think HE is pregnant? That sounds like something only a pregnant woman would want to eat.

And that's what's happening on Boomerang Drive this week!

I enjoyed reading your blog Holly. I always wanted to have a personal chef when I was pregnant. I couldn't stand to prepare food either. I just wanted take out all the time. I feel your pain. Hang in there.

We have been trying to decide if we want to have a third child at some point but you are giving me a reminder of how bad early pregnancy sickness really is. If only there really were a stork....
