Something, something, something... DARK SIDE

So... tonight- I had the thought "you know, canned cranberry sauce is too unhealthy as a dinner... Seriously, I did. I can cook- I swear. I did the stay at home mom thing for nearly 2 years. I wasn't a great cook, but the food tasted pretty good and was consistently edible. Where the hell did those skills go? I have no idea. So I'm eating pasta again instead... I think it's a safer choice than a whole can of cranberry sauce. I think.

In the past few days very few things have happened. But I'll write about the ones that did.

First, BIG SPIDER IN MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM! I am so afraid of spiders- Dan is my resident spider killer- and he is unfortunately gone. Thus... I had to resort to the swiffer to try and kill this think (it was a good inch across... uuuggghhh). For anyone wondering WHY I am so afraid - I saw the movie Arachnophobia when I was 5 or so... terrified ever since.

I also grew, and got to EAT one of my very own peppers (for those of you not up to date on how big of an accomplishment this is-- see "pansy pepper pilferer" post).

Bailey the Dog has also been an extreme helper throughout the entire Crunch Month process--- I'm pretty sure that at the end of the whole ordeal - he's getting his very own steak.
