Fiberific Pick Me Up

Thank you for all of the get well wishes yesterday! Unfortunately, I woke up feeling even worse. The eye is a very tiny bit better, but the rest of me is not. 🙁 So I'm once again laying low on the couch. It doesn't help that to keep the baby girl calm and not trying to jump all over me I have her doing this...

resorting to TV 🙁

I let her play (notice the mess) and read me books (at the opposite end of the couch), but eventually that wasn't enough so it was these guys to the rescue. She adores them, it gives me a break from feeling like I'm going to puke on her pretty face, and it's not something we always do by any means.

Now back to the title of the post. Yesterday, just before lunch, I did get something that helped cheer me up. Check it out.

Gnu Foods Delivery

TWELVE grams of fiber per bar

seven delicious flavors to try

You know you're special when a delivery of bars packed with fiber delights you! And the fact that it was perfect timing to add to my lunch was awesome.

Lemon Ginger goodness

fiber packed fo' sho!

I tried the Lemon Ginger flavor and it was a nice touch when feeling under the weather. I could only have a tiny bit of it because my stomach wasn't handling much food yesterday. I did like it though. The wee one was begging for a bite within 10 seconds of me opening the bar. So I gave her one. What do you think she thought of it? 😉

pwease pwease pwease is what she was saying

couldn't let mommy give her a bite - don't worry i stole it back 😉

a smile of delight....and cheeseballness

Look for more specific information and more reviews coming up on these babies! I promise to do a post worthy of them soon. Time for me to retire to the couch again. I think it goes without saying that is all I'll be doing today. No gym, tutoring, anything besides waiting for some relief. Oh and getting some food in the crockpot for dinner tonight. That will take a herculean effort from me right now.

Who watched The Bachelor last night? What were your thoughts?

Sadly, I think he & Vienna are hitting it off the best. I really like Tenley though. She is so genuine. But I do feel their chemistry isn't as strong. I have a huge feeling that all of the Alli drama is set up and getting ready for her to be the next Bachelorette. Has anyone heard who the next one will be? My guess is her. I would rather it be Tenley though. I do like Alli, but I just think Tenley is awesome. Enough rambling about that I guess.

Lastly, I set up a Question Box to make it easy for you to CLICK and submit questions for me to answer. C'mon now! Ask me anything!!

My Eye Is A Day Late

I woke up this morning with PINK EYE. I guess my eye got a belated memo and was trying to still celebrate Valentine's Day. This is the first time I have ever had pink eye. And I'm no fan. But, really...who would be? A hypochondriac maybe? I digress. And on top of the pink eye fun I think I have some sort of flu bug. I have had bodyaches, nausea, still have a bad headache that won't go away, and overall blahness. If I didn't know any better I would swear I'm pregnant. I feel the exact same as I did about 6 weeks in the last time. But a visit from Aunt Flo proves me otherwise...and leaves me with the result of just being plain ol' sick and nasty. I'm going to cut this short now because I just want to curl up on the couch with my book and a blanket and a prayer that baby M won't be a handful today. Ha! Riiiigggghhhttt. Not with the 'tude she is throwing these days.

Good news, though! Just because I have to cut this short, doesn't mean you have to go without a dose of Tina. 😀 Head over to Vee's blog to check out an interview with yours truly. I know we would both appreicate it! 😉

And since I had so much fun answering the questions for her, I thought it would be fun to participate in all of this Q&A that is going on in the blog world right now. I love learning more about all of you and would love to share more about me as well. So drop me a line in an email at [email protected] with a question you would love for me to answer. It can be about anything! Mundane, serious, whatever!

And lastly - the results of Fun Fact Friday. I gave you all the weekend to ponder. And once again I have done it! Fooled a good many of you! I do not have a tattoo. I have a severe fear of needles and would never ever put myself through that process. So, it is true that I have a brother! He lives in Arizona and I only get to see him a few times a year. Since my blog is more about daily stuff and I don't see him often (like I do my sister), I know he doesn't get brought up a lot. I love him a ton though. He is coming into town tomorrow to stay for a few weeks with my parents and I cannot wait to see him this weekend and more in the next couple of weeks. 🙂 I will hate to see him go back home...but he has work and his boyfriend (yes, I said boyfriend) in AZ so that will sadly happen.

Well, time for me to skidaddle to the couch! Ciao!!!
