Except my name's not Cathy. But Chatty Gwen doesn't have much of a ring to it. Anyway, yes, I'm blogging again. It's been 12 hours since I emailed her. No response yet. We shall call this "Ellen-Watch 2007". My friends, I emailed Ellen last night. Yes, THE Ellen. I asked her to find me a Wii for the family we've adopted for Christmas. I want so badly to get them one. I think it would be the sweetest holiday ever. We're saving up for our own system but to be able to get this family one would just make my heart sing. Can you imagine for a moment what that would feel like on Christmas morning? I think the Wii is the greatest device ever created. Video games, family activity togetherness, physical activity, educational benefits, all balled into one.
Also, this adding pureed veggies to other stuff fad is a hit here at my house. I tried it just once, added a can of turnip greens to a brownie mix. The kids GOBBLED them up. Score one for mama. The second punch (and the knockout) was that Neall and I didn't care for them AT ALL. Neall didn't even finish his brownie. So, kids LOVE them, adults (who don't need the brownie) HATE them. There is half a pan on my stove. I'm not tempted to nibble at all. Had those been the same-old brownies they'd have vanished overnight thanks to Neall and I. Because of the turnip greens, there they sit waiting for after lunch. The kids have asked several times. I said "after lunch" which they whined about. Loving this puree'd weird veggies thing.
