Why is it that the work week consists if 5 days and the weekend only 2?
It's disturbing. In those 2 days I am supposed to get done everything there is no time for during the week and the fun stuff!
Seriously, with a full time job and baseball for 2 little boys 4/5 days a week there is no time. It is sad that life has to be that way.
A 3 day weekend sound fantastic right about now, two days to clean, and run errands, and family fun stuff and one day to relax!
Perfection.

Healthy Living
Well, everyone, it's almost summer and we all know what that means: less clothing and more skin showing. Ugh. I'm trying my hardest to get into shape so I might actually feel good about wearing simple things like a t-shirt and shorts. I'm not one of those girls who uses the summer as a way to show off my body; I'm still very conservative. But even with conservative outfits, I'm still feeling a bit too heavy in them. I'm already down 4 lbs according to my scale...I think a lot of that can be credited to the heat! I must have sweat most of it out of me--gross!
I'm reading a new book (we'll see if I actually finish it though haha) called "In Defense of Food, an Eater's Manifesto"...it came out last year or the year before that, but I'm just getting around to picking it up. It's pretty good so far. From what I gather so far, the author seems to be picking a fight with the food marketers who are working hand-in-hand with the scientists to create "nutritionism" over simple food. For example, when addressing what to eat and what not to eat, they are saying words referring to invisible things so as not to piss off the major food industries. Basically, in the 70s, when the government said to eat less meat and dairy, the meat and dairy industries got upset so the government (along with food marketers and scientists) started addressing things as saturated fats and polyunsaturated and antioxidants and carotene, etc...the author feels this is extracting invisible things from actual foods and now all we see on labels are words like the ones I just mentioned vs simple, normal, actual foods. Anyway, if we do this book club thing, I might select that for you all:)
