sleep is the new awake...ha!

well, since saturday after i got off of work i slept 28 hours before i went to work monday morning (the 41 hour weekend)... i was DELIGHTED to have enough energy to get a bit of my normal housework done, cook dinner, and BLOG! haha

i did have my usual afternoon "crash" while i was at work today, but it wasn't nearly as bad and i had a cup of yogurt to pick me up for the rest of the day...

came home to start some laundry, pick up stuff just sitting around, and concoct some dinner from ingredients i forgot that i had in the fridge... asian smothered pork chops, cabbage, butter beans, and baked potatoes... lee gets the pork chops & i'll share my veggies :)

and i'm possibly discovering my first pregnancy food aversion... MEAT! i can STAND chicken (as in nuggets from mcd's or chic-fil-a) ... but nothing else seems to taste good... and lemme tell ya, i ate at lonestar staeakhouse, outback steakhouse, kanki japanese steakhouse, and bonefish this past week... and the highlight for me for each of those meals? my salad! i've never been much of a salad girl, but i've been diggin' the greens lately... and by the time these places brought out my entrees, i ate about 2 bites of each, cleaned all the veggies off the plate & would've been happy as a clam to get another salad. (lee seems to like this trend... the leftovers are GREAT! haha)

i must say, even though i'm SURE this is only the beginning... this whole "food aversion" thing is really throwing me for a loop... i've NEVER... repeat NEVER been a picky eater... but i look at a plate full of what would normally be delicious food & would rather have a bowl of butter beans... not that i don't normally love the butter beans, but i'm pretty amazed at just the foods that don't seem to have any desire to eat...

i'm really thankful for the life-sucking baby inside of me to give its momma some of HER energy back today... shew!
