short on sass

I don't know how to break this to you, but I've been a little short on sass recently. Sassy Leah has taken the backseat and Serious Leah is in the driver's seat. I don't know what this means for my blog, but let's be honest, it's probably better for my soul.

I don't want to leave you without SOMETHING. After all, you faithful readers are the reason I stay in business over here at Gibbizarre. So...

1 - I never followed up about the gluten free lasagna! It was a HIT. By the way, this reminds me that you should be very careful if you ever give me a compliment; my ego reacts very strongly to compliments (ahem, especially if they have something to do w/ this blog). So, if my small group was telling the truth, then the GF lasagna was the bomb.com, and if they were lying, then they sure boosted my ego. "A flattering tongue works ruin..."

2 - We had Matt's whole accounting department over to our house on Saturday for a BBQ! It was quite fun, and served as a motivator for me to FINALLY do some things to our house that I've been wanting to do since we moved in 2 years ago (like fill some empty wall space and rearrange some furniture). Perhaps all this hosting is more evidence that I'm growing up?

3 - Some of you know that until about December, Matt had literally eaten the SAME lunch every single weekday since college. He started to get tired of it, and we've been trying different things ever since then.

Well, we FINALLY found something that is quick and easy and healthy for him to take to work. SALAD. Before you start thinking it's gross, let me say it's not your typical salad. We have started grilling chicken or beef on Sunday, cutting up all kinds of veggies, and buying sunflower seeds/almonds/other toppings. So all he has to do in the morning is put the leafy greens in a to-go bowl, add his veggies and chicken or beef, add his dressing, and go.

I am hoping that this trend will stick for awhile. (Cause his alternative to not having a good lunch is just to skip it altogether.)

4 - Show my other blog some love! www.thisvanishingmist.com

Doodle bugs are the same thing as rolly pollies... also called pill bugs? Those little grey things that roll up in a ball?
