Food Aversions and Cravings

I am positive I am carrying a Filipino baby! (Not that i wasn't sure beforehand...) But I officially have had cravings for Fried Rice! Haha So, just in case you were wondering Chris--It's yours! This baby wants to eat like you do! I have been wanting some of my mother-in-law's cooking so bad lately. And truthfully, if you have ever eaten it, it wouldn't matter if you were pregnant or not, you would crave it too! Fried Rice and Lumpia are her specialty and they are absolutely delicious! (Lumpia is an eggroll with hamburger meat, carrot, onion, celery & water chestnuts inside...forget the cabbage eggrolls!) I have also been wanting food from Shogun! Which of course is the same type of food. I have been talking about it for days...and my husband surprised me with it tonight!! Yay! :)

I had spent all day studying and doing schoolwork and I was so mentally exhausted that i just did NOT want to decide what to cook for supper. So, Chris told me he would just pick up Mickey D's, which was just fine with me! When he got home, he DID have McDonald's but he had hidden some fried rice in the oven for me. So, when he told me to go open it up... I was beyond excited! First of all...who can afford to eat Shogun?? Well, if all you order is fried rice...it is only 2.50 a serving. You have to order at least two servings to go..so, it's 5 bucks! Not Bad! That is two servings pictured above...so I will get to eat Shogun again tomorrow!
See?? Isn't my hubby the best and sweetest???

Ok..and in addition to cravings.. I have had food aversions too. NO ITALIAN PLEASE! Which is so unlike me. It makes me very nauseated and just the thought of it doesn't settle well.

Ok though, enough about food! Addison said "I love you" today!! I wish she had said it to me but the lucky recipient was Dixie, our Boxer. (Now known as "Dickey") Addison gave her a big hug and kiss and told her she loved her. *sigh*

Well, obviously I cannot make the "Lose Weight" resolution this year..at least not right now, so I have come up with a few other goals that I would like to accomplish in 2009!
1. Read my One Year Bible EVERYDAY! So, of course, this means reading through the whole Bible this year!
2. Finish School! Preferably before the new baby gets here so my deadline is bumped up.
3. Read, Read, Read!
4. Be a more loving wife and mother. Not that I was an ogre or anything before, I just want to make sure I show my family how much I love them. I don't want Addison to grow up one day and see me as a "scolding/negative" parent. (Although, don't worry, there will discipline still too!) I just want her to remember getting lots of hugs and kisses. Same for Chris :)

So far it is already looking like a great year! In just two days,I have accomplished a good deal of schoolwork, eaten some fried rice, read my Bible, finished a book-Tribulation Force, played and loved on Addison, and watched a movie with Chris. Of course, this among my other daily routine tasks.
Oh--AND written a blog :)
It feels good to have made progress!

Hope you all had a great New Year as well!
