Holy Shit...it's August

Yep...enough said.

Nothing much has happened since my last post :)

acid

I realize it's been a while since I've graced you with a real post. It's not like I don't have a lot to say...or a lot going on...I think it's really just the result of being tired most of the time and not wanting to do much except go to work (which I really don't want to do 95% of the time, truth be told..but who does, right?). Anyway. So besides being tired, pregnant and having horrible swelling, the one thing I was managing to avoid was chronic heartburn...until last week. This now gives me the opportunity to tell you about my antacid ratings...now that I've tried so many of them. Maybe you'll find this useful.

#4 - Tums


I used to think Tums were fine...until I had to take them on a regular basis. And while they do the trick in a pinch, I think they are gritty and the taste isn't that good (yes..I realize they're not life savers!!!)

#3 Maalox

This used to be higher on my list, but then of course I tried more antacids and so had more experiences to use for my rating system. Maalox tastes better than Tums, but still gritty...and a not so nice aftertaste.

#2 Tums Smoothies

Tums makes a comeback in the #2 position. The smoothies are way not so gritty..I guess that's why they're smooth...and don't have a gross aftertaste. These used to be in the #1 position because I couldn't find the #1 brand...but now that I can...these have to take a backseat to.....

#1 Rolaids!!!

Love Rolaids. The flavor is good, the texture is good...and they work fast! My favorite by far are the cherry...but the tropical ones are good too. These were really hard to come by early in my pregnancy...so good thing I had a few already...and the company who makes them - who was dealing with a recall- made sure to get them on the shelf again! Thank goodness for Rolaids...or as I like to call them...my 3 a.m. snack.

So there you have it...my rating for antacids....hope this helps you through your future heartburn attacks.

Oh..and all have calcium :)

Seriously? Again?

It's like this is already being taken over by childish things...sorry...couldn't resist.

TrueMud

This is why I love Sesame Street

We're back...and we're tanned...

We are back from our vacation...and now I need a vacation to recover! We've been sleeping way too late in the morning which is mildly interfering with getting to work...and we're both wiped out by the time we get home. Hopefully we'll snap out of it soon. I am sure that for me, the baby that is growing isn't helping with the fatigue...or the swelling....

anyhoo....I'll try to post some photo's soon....

Cheese and Boats

There's definitely a once a month theme going on here...and it's totally not intentional.

This past weekend my parents came into the city - we went for Fondue and on the Architecture Tour to celebrate their birthdays.

Please note that I am the only one who took pictures...which is why I am not in any of them.


We made fondue at home last New Years - I think it was New Years....this is the pot at the Melting Pot...

And this was ours at New Years....

Let me say that the cheese was maybe equally as good...but the meat we did at home...well...it sucked..and chocolate is chocolate :)

Anyway...so back to September Fondue... Paul was happy because I am not eating meat really so he got to enjoy a double helping of meat... Doesn't he just look happy??? He must of been because he normally doesn't let me take his picture!


Then on Sunday we went on the Architecture Tour. At least the weather was nice and we didn't die of sun and heat exposure during the boat tour :) That's all I have to say about that! I even had to wear a sweater for part of it (clearly I had more to say...)

So we had a nice weekend. This coming weekend we're leaving on vacation....to Puerto Vallarta...where I am ok with the sun...and hopefully don't need to wear a sweater!!!!

See you when we get back...there will be pictures....but I won't be in them :)

garlic

I am horribly unmotivated today...and am distracted because one of my dear co-workers was eating something for lunch that smelled super garlicky...which probably wasn't very garlicky at all..but with my Super Spidey Sniffer these days, I may have well been bathing in it. Anyway..so now I am sitting at work...thinking of how I am going to have garlic bread for dinner...with mozzarella cheese...and marinara sauce...and how my stomach is going to hate me for it.

But on the plus side...won't have to worry about any vampires.
