Latest Happenings...

I think I stole that blog title from someone.  Having to come up with a blog title is ALMOST enough to make me not want to blog.... I'm going to start stealing other people's titles-- that way, I never have to think of my own.

Bible trivia: What was Naomi's husband's name?  (answer found at the end)

Latley, Caleb has been LOVING Ben's camelback.  He figured out how to get water out of it.  Sometimes it gets out of hand....   Here he is, drinking away.

This is one of Caleb's faces that we need to get rid of ASAP.  He looks at people like this.  UM, can you say OFFENSIVE?!  

This last week I made Zucchini bread.  Ok... it wasn't just ANY zucchini bread.  It was WHOLE food bread.  A friend of mine told me that she was on a whole food diet, and gave me the website www.100daysofrealfood.com.  I was reading and feeling inspired,  SO, I decided to give the zucchini bread a shot.  It came out looking a bit... weird, so I decided to ask Ben to give it a try.

Here is Ben inspecting it....

Ben:  "It looks like salad with bread in it"

"No... it looks like STUFFING!" 

and here he is smelling it....

I had to agree... it did look a bit like stuffing.  But, naturally, I acted like it hurt my feelings.

No, he didn't like it.  Neither did I.  It was... BLAH.  I think it's because it didn't have sugar in it.  Eating whole foods is a nice idea, and sometimes I convince myself we should do it.... but then I go to the grocery store and buy milky way candy bars......DRAT.    

By the way, tonight for dinner we are having Spicy Bean burritos (very yummy!).  You can find them here.  I mentioned that-- because it's healthy.... and we're talking about whole foods.   

Last night I went to Menards and got a great deal on hair stuff!! I know, Menards sells hair stuff?  Yes, Menards sells pretty much everything.... well, except for desk lamps, which is what we went there for in the first place.

Anyway, they had buy one get one free (making it 1.00 each) on hair ties, bobby pins, headbands, clips ... and

ROLLERS!!

It was EXTREMELY cheap.... which, after trying them, I'm beginning to understand why.  But, don't the curlers LOOK like they are going to work?  And, they don't have pins, which makes them easy to put in... just hard to take out since your hair is kind of stuck to them. HA!  I think they have potential-- I just need to keep trying.  Plus, Ben likes how they look........ NOT!

I've been experimenting with my hair lately. I found this website on Pinterest www.thesmallthingsblog.com.  I LOVE how she does her hair.  It's inspired me to get a bit more creative.  Too bad I have WAY less hair.... and talent....and my hair can't even stay curled while I'm still curling it...

This morning I tried her "chic" updo or whatever it's called.... Ben told me I could fit a lot of eggs in it. UM.... Bascuse ME?!

Then he said something REALLY sweet.. "Melanie, I don't care how much hair you have... I'm just glad it's not ratty.."

AWWW....

 hahahhahah =)

Answer to Bible trivia, or as I often call it BT.....

Elimelech!

That's all for now.
