this weekend pretty much rocked

so, i think this weekend topped last. jamie, your wedding was wonderful, but i managed to not get so drunk i puked this weekend, i ate tons of scrumptious foods prepared by yours truly, i took a nap! (GASP), i played wii, i got to spend time with some of my favorite people and... i scrapped!

so, its getting to be that time of year again when comfort food calls my name. bread, potatoes, baked meals, crock-pot-itis, all that jazz. i've been a naughty girl and pulled out the bread machine. what can i say, i'm a sucker for some home-made bread. and since weight watchers is not a diet (haha, that's what they tell us), then i can work it in. tonight the hubs and i had philly steak and cheese sandwiches with that awesome sargento 2% provolone (if you have not had this, i suggest you try it out, its delish!) on the home-made bread. so.freaking.good!

last night zayna came over and we had baked chicken and rosted garlic potatoes with a big salad and then she brought angel food cake with strawberries and bananas and dryers no sugar added 1/2 the fat ice cream (which is also delicious for low fat). when i attempt to eat well, i'm always amazed at how good the food tastes. i find myself eating slower and savoring it, so i really do eat less. or at least that's the bullshit i feed myself so i think i'm doing well... and hey, to be honest it usually works.

also, i'm pretty excited... have you seen this:

i made the finals at purple onion! so... that's why i can't post anything, i'm working on my next round of submissions for them. I'll have them up soon!

how was your weekend? i'd love to hear what you ate, what you did, who you saw...etc.

and i also want to say a special thank you to all the people who sent me sweet little birthday things... Steph,
Kristina, Denise, Tenaya, Jenny, Zorina, Debrah, Holly, and Cassie. Thanks girls, you are so so so so sweet and you made my birthday extra super special!

xoxo,
aimee
