Thanks for the camera info! The Rebel looks fantastic, but since I usually have a baby or toddler on my hip while I’m taking pictures, I think it would be too large for me. (Maybe in a couple years!)

We actually have a Sony Cybershot now, but it’s pretty old–I’ll have to take a look at the newer ones!

I found your post very intriguing. I am a recovering alcoholic, and I also struggle with overeating. The concept of admitting that food (or certain types of it) can be an addiction, and taking healthy eating “one day at a time” is precisely the approach found in 12 step programs… and it is very effective! I very much enjoy reading your blog, Jen. I am actually a former Catholic- I found my home in the Episcopal Church, but I still retain a great respect, and affection for, many aspects of Catholicism. I have found your story fascinating to read.

“In a different phase of life I might have considered taking this as an opportunity to just live without a television, but I knew that there are going to be some occasions over the next couple of months were I desperately need to break out a Veggie Tales DVD to keep my children from getting mutinous.”

Can I just say a heartfelt THANK YOU for that. I’ve had about all I can take of the pseudo-saintliness of the “and then we threw the TV out of the house and lived happily ever after because we could NEVER subject our precious darlings to that” crowd. It’s not that I mind their stance itself; it’s just that so many of them are so good at shoveling out heaping helpings of guilt to others about it.

And your baby is beautiful!

For some reason the linky thing isn’t working, but I do have the weekly takes over at the Steel Lily. Enjoy the sushi!

Ahhh… I’ve missed reading this blog. It’s good for the soul. I, too, found a scorpion in February, IN MY HOUSE this year. That’s 2 months earlier than last year. Could the Apocalypse be near? I chased it around the living room and muscled the huge leather sofa all around until I found the **insert very bad word here** hiding beneath it.

What kind of camera do you have?

I’m lucky enough to have a Canon Rebel (a Christmas gift from my parents a couple years ago), and it is AWESOME. Although we recently got a Sony Cyber-shot DSCH50 on sale at Amazon for my mom and, honestly, I think it’s as good as the Rebel — and MUCH cheaper. I highly recommend the Sony Cyber-Shot.

Oh my word, Jennifer. That baby is just adorable. (I was going to say precious, but in light of #5, I thought it inappropriate.)

Do you mind sharing a few of your favorite delivered meals? I’m making quite a few meals for friends who’ve had babies lately. I’m always looking for new material.
