1. I made a quiche. Um. Did you get that? I--the world's most kitchen-challenged individual--cooked a QUICHE. By myself. Chopping onions was involved. And? It was gooooood. Take that, Rachael Ray.
2. It appears that we're definitely down to one nap a day. The length of the nap varies between one and two-and-a-half hours so it's tough to plan things. I'm hoping it evens out to a somewhat dependable length of time. Until then, I'll be racing around the house doing laundry, emptying the dishwasher, answering emails, working, reading blogs, paying bills, making grocery lists and drinking coffee at a breakneck pace.
3. I'm back on track at the gym. Well, as far as I went today and did cardio. Yippee, me! Now, let's see what tomorrow brings. I'm not known for my gym-going prowess.
4. Yesterday we saw a preview for this new Will Smith movie. I sobbed silently during the entire 90 seconds. Since becoming a mother, movies, TV shows, books and even commercials about parents and their fierce love for for their children rip me me to pieces. For God's sakes, I cried when Lauren (the lesbian) and her dad came in last and had to leave The Amazing Race because they talked about how much they learned to understand and appreciate each other. That one left me with a stuffy nose for hours. What's up with these ridiculous tugs on my heartstrings? Is it just me or does this happen to all mothers universally?
5. Really, the only reason for this post, and therefore the "five things" theme, was so I could show off my quiche. I mean, dude, I MADE it. I never make anything. Roger once said that when I walk into a kitchen, my IQ drops 40 points, my brain disengages and my eyes glaze over just like a guy walking into a topless bar. And he was being nice.
Quiche!! Very impressive!

Yay, you! The quiche looks good. Of course, it's just making me sad because you have a working oven and I don't...I don't think I can make a quiche in a slow cooker!

I don't know about all moms, but I sure have that weepy thing going too.

Wow! That looks YUMMY! What kind of quiche was it and where'd you find the recipe? Wannabe-cook-at-home-moms wanna know!

You can't show quiche porn and not share the recipe! ;)
We have been down to one nap for a while. It sucks, although I LOVE it when it is a marathon nap. Amelia's Saturday nap was three hours!

First of all yumm, I am starving now. Second, YES the crying I am not the only one. The hubby always makes fun of me for crying at every single episode of "Extreme Home make over" It is like the site of Ty Pennington makes me well up. I know with all the new christmas commercials comming out I will be a sobbing mess.

Thats funny that you mention 'crying.' I've always been a weepy girl! Just about anything can cause tears to well up for me. BUT - just yesterday, Fred and I were talking about how much WORSE I've become since having a child. It's bad. Seriously - I probably tear-up 4 or 5 times a day! :-) Usually the tears are accompanied by my own laughing.... because someone in the room is making fun of me for crying - again! :-)
