Everything's going reasonably well right now. It's been incredibly hot outside lately, and I just don't feel like doing much of anything. Even reading doesn't seem to be holding my attention. So, let's see, what's going on lately? My nephew is officially 2 years old today - Happy Birthday, Kasen! I'm going to see him later today to give him his birthday present - a sit and spin. I remember having one and loving it, so I hope he does too. He likes to spin in circles and make himself dizzy, so I think he will. It's actually a musical sit and spin, couldn't find just a regular one - he'll love it, but my sister and brother-in-law may not appreciate it so much.

I lost 4 lbs last week at Weight Watchers. I'm not sure how that happened, I didn't think I did too well food-wise, and I haven't been exercising, but I'll take it, it helps make up for the last several weeks where I gained a little every week.

I tried a new recipe for a snack that's really good. I found it on SparkRecipes.com, it's basically chickpeas roasted until they're crunchy, flavored with whatever seasonings sound good to you. Lots of fiber & protein, and I used less olive oil than the recipe calls for, so not too much fat. Here's what they look like:

They don't look that great, but they are good, really.

I've been home all week. Usually I caption the House of Representatives and have to go in to the office to do that, but they were off this week, so I've been scheduled for other shows, mostly ones I could do at home. It's been nice. I wouldn't want to work at home all the time, but I like that I get to every now and then.

Anyway, this has been a long, rambling post, so I think I'll stop now and leave you with some new pics of the kitties, just because they were being cute.
