speechless

it is a sad day for me....brett favre is retiring after 17 seasons.... if you are not a football, or packer fan, skip down a few paragraphs....i AM a hardcore packer fan. well, football fan in general. not your typical girl when it comes to this sport...i love to play it, watch it and be one of 'the guys'. you know, drink a beer and scream at the tv. but brett favre is my favorite. his passion for the game is llike no other....he has always truly enjoyed the game....i figured he'd give it one more season, esp. after the good season they had. *sigh* am seriously in utter disbelief! its all silly, i know, but geez... the game just wont be the same without him. i am so sad.

anyway-moving along....

much to evengodissingle's prodding, i am reading the book 'skinny bitch'. am about half way thru it. i must admit, i had very high expectations of this book-as ive had heard so much about it....so after the first 2 chapters, i was kinda disappointed. it was almost like degrading-i still dont know if thats the word im looking for, but its harsh. i know we all need that sometimes, but.... HOWEVER......as i get more and more into it, it has me thinking...about becoming a vegan. eh. i would probably fail miserably at this, however, i was literally nauseated after reading the chapter, 'you are what you eat'....wont get too graphic, but it goes into GREAT GREAT detail about the slaughtering process of animals-not just the process, but the illnesses, and diseases they carry b/c they arent properly taken care of, etc.... just hold on a minute-im not on board just yet, but it DOES make one think... i dont necessarily agree with the whole 'you have to be a hardcore vegan to be skinny' idea the book is selling. (its main selling point so far anyway). but lets just say, the book captures you... i will have to keep you posted on this subject. i am still going to have my killer chicken fajitas for lunch today.... :)

am so incredibly sleep deprived today...emersyn woke up at midnight last night SCREAMING bloody murder....this is the second night in a row, however last night, she wouldnt go back to bed....i was up-literally-until 4:30 with her. agh. she was soo restless-not sure if she had a tummy ache??? she was acting really wierd and almost like she was in 'pain'...unfortunetly, she isnt at the age where she can verbalize her issues....shes in a good mood this morning though... but i can tell shes sleepy. good- i sense a nap for the both of us shortly...

oh-real quick: funny story. this weekend, jae and i stopped at cullver's for an icecream cone and the flavor of the day was butter pecan. jae tasted mine and liked it-if it didnt have nuts. so the next night, we all went, as a family, and jae says, 'i want the butter pecan without the nuts.' :) such an innocent soul...you kinda had to be there....but it was cute-funny....
