Summer Camp Day 7 & 8 - Food and Teaching


Again, I'm going to tackle two days of Calliope's Summer Camp again.  

Day 7 – What’s your favorite thing to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you read food blogs or would you ever consider writing one?

I do love food and some of my blogs are like food blogs and I do read them avidly.  They give me great ideas.  Breakfast has some great foods:  coffee, chocolate croissants, blueberry pancakes, scrapple.  These are a few of my favorite things.  My DH also recently learned to make excellent crepes and he'll make them for breakfast for us with home made whipped cream, bananas, strawberries and Nutella.  Good stuff!

Lunch I love salads and sushi since it's summertime.  In the winter I'm a big fan of soups.  With salads I love Newman's Own salad dressings!  Sometimes I'll have leftovers from dinner the night before.  I try to pack my lunch for work to save money and ensure I'm eating healthy.

Dinner I love when DH cooks!  He's a much better cook than me.  His new signature dish is a sesame-crusted pan seared tuna on a bed of greens with three dressings:  a sweet strawberry dressing, a soy-sesame dressing and a wasabi-cream dressing.  Yum!  I also love the turkey burgers he's been mixing up lately with black beans, seasonings like mesquite barbeque and cheddar cheese in the mix.  And on the side have a new cole slaw he came up with that has no mayo, but cabbage, sunflower seeds, bean sprouts and the dressing is olive oil, rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil and lime juice.  

Day 8 – If you had to teach something, what would you teach? (If you DO teach, when did you discover your love for teaching/the subject?) Do you think blogs can play a role in education?  


I always loved teaching.  I used to tutor math when I was younger.  I even tutored trigonometry when I was in the class at the time.  I still love the idea of teaching math and there's a piece of me that would love to be a high school math teacher if I ditched the corporate world.  


The other thing I would love to do in life is be a yoga teacher.  It's funny since I came up with my life list, I keep thinking of things I forgot to put on it!  I have to add taking yoga teacher training classes and beginning to teach classes.  I don't know that I could say I want to own a yoga studio, but I would definitely like to teach classes.  I'm not sure if blogs play a role in education.  I get inspiration from blogs and I have learned some things about cooking and healthy eating, but not math or yoga.  I guess it depends on what the topic is.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
