Fruit of the Week

Sentry grocery stores is having a sale, so todayI decided to give prunes a try.

My initial thought was "Wow, these taste like gushers!" -->a chewy gummy-like candy

My second thought was "I'm doing my body a HUGE favor by eating these cancer-fighting, antioxidat-loaded agents!"

My third thought was "I've never been this active"--if you know what I mean.

So give prunes a try--but if I were you, I'd go with the pre-pitted kind.

Crazy weekend

So you think you had a crazy weekend? Listen to this...

Bryan's mom moved out of her boyfriend's house. She spent Friday night with us, and then on Saturday we went to Menomonee Falls with her to look for an apartment. She found an apartment, but it wouldn't take dogs (she has a 14-year-old cocker spaniel). We convinced Cyndy to continue looking for another apartment instead of facing the decision to put down Peanut just so she could get that apartment.

Also yesterday, Bryan and I helped move her stuff from Franks. Has anyone ever carried a washing machine up 2 flights of stairs? It isn't pretty, beleive me. Needless to say, we probably put 150 miles on our car yesterday--just moving stuff back to her Menomonee Falls home and then driving back and forth to her brother's house and our apartment.

Now she and Bryan are out looking for other apartments while I watch the snow fall and cover our grass. This isn't exactly what I planned to do this weekend--but it makes you think about how choices affect you long term...hopefully this weekend can be a learning experience for everyone.
