Fuzzy - My work place did that with one of the holidays last year (can't remember which one though) and 3/4 of the people ended up calling in sick so they decided to scrap it. THANKFULLY!

HJ - I'm with Cherished on the pizza thing. And for pretty much all of the same reasons. I especially agree that the cheese on the pizza is SUPER healthy. Lots and lots and lots of calcium (I'm not a big fan of milK) and lots of other healthy vitamins and minerals. Only I'm worse as far as eating it. I always make sure that "oops I ordered too much" so that I can have it for dinner, then breakfast, lunch AND dinner the next day. I can't wait until I can have it cold for breakfast again. Cold pizza is THE BEST (insert drool icon like Cherished's one here)

As for the kitkat....when did that start making carmel ones??!!! I LOVE carmel. It's so my downfall to healthyness as for a kitkat being healthy. Chocolate makes your body release endorphins which make you happy. And if you are in a particularly hormonal and mood-swingy (that's a technical term) mood it would make you (and most likely your DH) feel better

Cherished - Those treats of yours do sound pretty yummy. They may have to be my cooking project next weekend!

And I'm on the SO SO SO GLAD that you started this thread bandwagon as well you're THE BEST!!! :horray:

Kirsten - Made your cake recipe over the weekend. It was super yummy. It was SIL's b-day. (Oh the joy of it, I can hardly contain my excitement). DH and I were told that we were taking everyone (as in us, MIL, SIL and nephew) out to tea and pay for it all, becasue since we both have jobs apparently we're made of money We were also told that we had to buy the cake. So it was going to be a cold day in h#$L before we spend that much on the money grubbing so and so. SO it was dinner a la Chez Dr. Tal. Of course that earned us many foul looks at got us dubbed cheap skates, but do I really care?? ummmmm No. So I made the pumpkin and coconut cake for her birthday cake and decorated it with a lot fat philly cheese icing. I even made the icing coloured and got out all my fany tips and decorated it with flowers and whatnot. Took me ages. Aparently it was 'horrible' but that didn't stop them from each having seconds and then taking the left overs home with them. So I'll have to make one for DH and I next week.

Belfie - WOOHOO on you eating! I certainly hope that you continue to improve and feel better!

Entreat - about your body balance. I LOVE it.

AFM - like I said earlier I cooked for SIL's birthday. I certainly hope that some day soon DH decides that he's okay about breaking ties with them becasue I don't know how much more of their selfishness I can put up with

It rained Saturday morning just as I was about to start mowing the lawn. So I went and did a whole bunch of shopping and cooking instead. Spent WAY too much money But most of the cookin g was healthy recipes from here On Sunday I mowed the lawn, did some painting and cleaned my fish tanks and bird cages. Then today I did a whole heap of gardening, washing, housework (vaccuuming and mopping and dusting) and then almost finished paiting the baby's room.

Hope the rest of you all had a good weekend!
