Summer School: Things I learned this weekend

                               

Brutally Honest Monday: The I’m Not Too Old To Learn Stuff Edition

1.  Do not ask people to tell you their favorite desserts while you are on a very restricted diet. 

2.  Egg/corn-free oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies are delicious at any time of day.  Especially with a glass of milk.

3.  Eating two dozen cookies in 24 hours will cause a noticeable belly pooch.  It probably won’t go away on its own.

4.  The herbal supplement fenugreek really does work.  My breast milk supply doubled within a day after just one capsule.  An odd but not unpleasant side effect?  It makes my armpits smell like maple syrup.  At least it’s not onions!

5.  Given a good amount of positive attention, my four year old will turn into a compliant ball of putty in my hands.  Good for cleaning up, bathtime, bedtime, and throwing out poopy diapers.

6.  Tootsie Farklepants really knows her stuff.  Or so my husband says.

7.  Not working on the weekend will change the attitude of everyone in my house for the better.  Wine helps too.

8.  The probability skills I learned in college tell me that when A+B=C, then C-A=B.  So when 3 of the 13 people who have entered my contest are named Jenny/Jennifer, A+B= people named Jenny/Jennifer like free chocolate.

8.  A contest scheduled to end on Sunday night can be extended until Monday night on my whim.  So go -here- to enter NOW!  Time’s a-wastin’!

Two dozen cookies is all you managed? When the girl guide cookies hit our house, we go through far more than that. Sad really. And yes, it DOES cause that pooch. Or cookie gut as it’s referred to in our house.

Damn…I just noticed in the side bar that my comment on the chocolate contest is clocked as June 24….but it’s still June 23 here!! Damn time zones.

fenugreek worked for me too!
but, i did smell a little like maple syrup as well…
and my husband was always hungry for pancakes or waffles around that time…hmmmmm?
