Phones that don't keep a charge...

I absolutely LOVE my EVO (droid)

BUT...I hate that it doesn't keep a charge.  I have to charge it every few hours and as a result half of my food pictures were taken on DJ's phone and since he is at a super bowl party with the boys and I'm home in a nice quiet house in my jammies watching commercials and flipping to sleepless in seattle...I don't have the pictures of my breakfast. 

Back to this morning...we were all wide awake by 6am.  We got ready and headed to breakfast at the Diner.  We LOVE the Bel Air Diner

My breakfast was 2 eggs over medium, hashbrowns and rye toast.  Livie ate one of my eggs and half of my hash browns...oh and one of my pieces of toast.  So I had a pretty light breakfast but it filled me up.  I also took a picture of the bite I had of the boys chocolate chip pancakes...Mmmmmmmmm 

After breakfast we headed to Target to pick up a new Wii nunchuck b/c Rocky chewed up one of them earlier this week.  We made it home, so Livie could take a nap with Daddy, then back out again to get the boys to CCD.  I dropped the boys off and then I hit the grocery store.

Have I shared with ya'll what a geek I am about the grocery store?  I HEART my Giant!  I love to shop for food and plan meals...I'm a big nerd, I know.  On the menu this week is:

• Crockpot Chili
• Crockpot Beef Stew
• Tacos
• Spaghetti
• Pizza Roll
• Crockpot Salsa Chicken

We'll see how many of these meals actually get made :)  The meat is all in the freezer so at least it won't get wasted but that also means I have to remember to pull out what I want to make the day before :)

After the grocery store I picked up the boys from CCD and we came home where we were surprised by a visit from my sis, Linc and my BIL (whom I lovingly call - Asshole)...LOL.  It's ok...we have a love/hate relationship which has most recently seen more love b/c he is a HUGE Under Armour fan...he is being nice to his connection :) 

While at the grocery store I found these awesome rolls...

Flashback to my trip to Williamsburg in October...We had the most amazing pretzel sandwich at Busch Gardens with melted cheese and ham...Mmmmmmm.  I actually hadn't thought about that sandwich at all until I saw these rolls in the grocery store.  Then I decided to recreate.  And I did...

and it ROCKED!!!  Note to self:  put the roll knot side down next time you make this b/c the knot of the pretzel got a little burnt under the broiler...but it STILL ROCKED!

After my little lunch I decided to have some Mommy Time :)  I got a mani pedi

Is it just me or is this chair the best place on earth?!?!

When I got home, Livie was trying to take a nap and the boys were being noisy...so we left to get some ice cream...  Why not?!?

I got the black raspberry cheesecake ice cream from Jarrettsville.  Now...I know I said I wasn't going to stray from my Coconut Almond Chip ever again but, I'm REALLY glad I did b/c it WAS SO GOOD!!!

 Can you see the huge chunk of cheese cake????

Now...I also know I said no more ice cream... Actually I think I said no more unpicture ice cream?!?!  right?  Actually I scolded myself for eating ice cream and said I'd take a picture of everything.  So that means I'm still within my goal.  I'll be honest tho...sitting here now, my belly is upset :(  Oh well...that is it for today's food that is for sure.

After ice cream I made the boys help me clean my car inside and out (oh and I was in flip flops all day b/c I didn't wanna mess up my pedi).  I'm sure I got a few looks but oh well...

Now, with the boys gone, I'm gonna sit here on this couch and chill.  I'm supposed to be doing laundry but oh well...

That's it for now
