Damn that was good.

So Charley was sleepy in the tub tonight around 6pm - so I attempted to put her to bed right after her bath and knock on wood, she has been asleep ever since. Which is great, because since she has been sick - the last 2 nights she has been waking up every few hours crying...poor baby. But maybe she is at a turning point.

Here are 2 pics of her standing in her crib...she can pull herself right up there. My boy Mack is in one of the pics...he turned 6 on Tuesday :)


Oh and she got another tooth! 2 days ago, I thought, well let me see if I can feel any other teeth and there was one top one on her left side! So 3 teeth now :)

Anyways...back to my post title...So not to rave again about how amazing the ZipLoc Zip and Steam bags are...but they ROCK! Ok - seriously if you have not tried them...go out of your way tomorrow to go to the store and get some bags and while you are at it - get the ingredients to make one of the following recipes.

Cheesy Pizza Chicken

Spicy Chicken

or the one that I made tonight Shanghai Chicken and Zucchini with Spicy Mandarin Ginger Glaze which ROCKED! Now I estimated a few of the spices etc and I was out of ponzu sauce so I used some Spicy Mandarin Marinade/Sauce I had plus a little soy sauce - since I was using 3 chicken breasts instead of 2. But mine was SUPER spicy - but not in a bad way...in a really really delicious - made me break a sweat a little way :) but then again that might have to do with the fact I am still sick...

And the best part - I MADE THIS IN SEVEN MINUTES!! I made a little packet of these veggies to mix with it too. I only had one chicken breast and it was SO FILLING and did I mention DELICIOUS...oh and that I made it in only SEVEN MINUTES!?!?

So please try these bags and fall in love with them like I did :)

I did pretty good today for having a lot of food. I am back in the groove and plan to stay there - I just hope the scale continues to be nice to me.

On another note. I went back to the Dr for a follow up on my pneumonia...and they still heard crackling in both of my lungs, they said not to be alarmed by this, as it takes a long time (!!!) for it to go away when you have pneumonia. But they must have thought something of it...because I am back on steroids and 2 antibiotics, a steroid inhaler and I am supposed to continue my nebulizer. eh. I just want to be better...I go back for a 2nd cat scan (or as Jimmy and I like to say "they are going to scan my cat!" that is a Varsity Blues reference :)) next week and then we'll go from there. I'll say it once again...pneumonia sucks and so does pneumonia recovery!

oh and steroids...they do weird things to me...they are like SPEED. I clean like a maniac, can't sleep and can't sit still. It drives Jimmy mad :) But heck, our house could use a good cleaning...I mean I have done 3 loads of laundry, washed and changed all of the sheets, cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed the upstairs, cleaned Charley's room, cleaned the kitchen and have plans to do more before bed. :)

Oh and I am going to start a present for Sarah's soon to be new addition Max :) so I can get that off and in the mail to her.

There are times in my life, when I'd like to just have a little stash of my speed uh I mean steroids...so I can get more done!

Alright...I have a Monkey Bread Cake in the oven for work tomorrow. It is my first time making it. If you haven't heard of it...it is delicious...but NOT DIET friendly. So I make it for work, so I will only have a little bite :)

Here is my menu...though there are 3 errors in it. See I posted on Twitter this morning my breakfast and lunch, then I went back to put in my snacks and when I did, my breakfast and lunch were gone. Well now they are back and I had already reentered them and so they are on there twice and it won't let me delete them like usual and I put my activity on there and forgot my negative in front of the points - so the points were over by 7 but I fixed it with an overall negative.

Woah, this is a long post...I'll chalk it up to the drugs :)

Hope all is well!!
