This Also Happened

Matt loves to post pictures of his fortunes on Instagram, this one was right on the money. 
 Twinner twinner out to dinner.  We are not going to Sadie Hawkins. This was more embarrassing for me than it should have been. 
 I managed to buy two boxes of Froot Loops with marshmallows without the marshmallows. I called and the nice people at Kelloggs sent me coupons to buy two more boxes, which I cautiously did and ended up getting some with the marshmallows as advertised. What a relief!
 Matt's soda consumption had been driving me crazy because I thought it was causing him kidney stones. He loves the stuff but I could take it or leave it. Mostly leave it because it makes my tummy hurt. Then I started thinking about how hard it would be for me to quit eating chocolate and candy because I do love me some candy. I decided that if I expected him to quit something he likes I should be willing to do the same. So we started the no soda for Matt not candy for Kliss challenge the day after Easter. It was hard. My kids thought I would fail first. I eat candy all the time just out of habit. Then I started doing more research on kidney stones and no where could I find soda as a cause, so I let Matt off the hook. He went almost a month, so that was impressive. I thought I would drop all kinds of weight by going candy-less, but it didn't do a thing. That's about right for me. 
 This might have been the most exciting day in April--Kings of Leon AND Young the Giant!?! I have plans for September 27.  I can't wait!
