  • Strep Throat Gives You Hives?

    Apparently, Jaden gets hives. Last week, Jaden stayed over at a friend’s house the last night of school. His friend got a fever and was throwing up during that day, but Jaden ended up staying anyway. (Next time, SEND HIM HOME!) So on Friday, when we started having a fever, we weren’t surprised. He also…

  • Day 13 of the Master Cleanse: Solid Food!

    Today’s the day I get to eat some solid food, so long as it’s fruits, veggies, and nuts. But only for dinner. Breakfast is OJ, which I’ve had a couple of glasses of. Lunch time will be my lentil soup. I’m not sure what I’m doing for dinner since I don’t have any real salad…

  • Day 12 of the Master Cleanse: Soup’s On!

    Today, in addition to Orange Juice, I could have vegetable soup later in the day. I actually didn’t drink much OJ–only a couple of glasses and a bottle while I was out. I actually cheated and made the vegetable soup this morning, having some of the broth just before 11am. Did notice one less pound…

  • Soup’s On!

    Here’s the lentil soup I made earlier. Very tasty!

  • Day 11 of the Master Cleanse: OJ Day!

    Today, I get to drank OJ instead of the lemonade concoction. Still no food, though I did do some prep work for the lentil soup I plan on cooking tomorrow. May not have gobs and gobs of veggies in this soup, but when I read the recipe, it sure sounded good and was vegetarian. I’m…

  • 10 Days Without Solid Food

    Probably shouldn’t write this until tomorrow, but as of right now, I am done with drinking lemonade for my cleanse. 10 days without solid food is something I would have never expected I would do. But I set my mind to doing it, and do it I did. I rewarded myself with a nice cup…

  • State of the Pinball Machine

    One thing I successfully accomplished today was making it so I could remove the backbox of my pinball machine. Unfortunately, it means disconnecting lots and lots of wires–yes I labeled things. The wires run from the backbox, i.e. the upright “head” part, down into the cabinet. Some of these wires had Molex connectors, which helped…

  • The 1337 Key

    All this time, I never noticed I had such a 1337 key. This is what it’s the key to.

  • Day 10 of the Master Cleanse

    More somewhat painful waste elimination yesterday and no weight loss this morning. Hm… but I did have the tea. Anyway, it’s the last day of the cleanse. I think the funny taste in my mouth as gone away. Didn’t get enough sleep, but I sure do like the “instant on” feeling when I wake up.…

  • First House Showing

    Our house is officially on the market. Listing was in yesterday and they’re still getting the pictures posted. This evening, we got a call from a Realtor wanting to know if they could have someone look through our house in the morning. Some scrambling about is occurring as we are doing things to get ready–I’m…
