Warm Chocolate Brownies
Yesterday afternoon, that is all I wanted. I could practically smell them! Of course I wanted them with a scoop of vanilla icecream on them too! I bet I could have ate a whole pan of them! I wanted them so bad I could feel it making my hands itch to get them. Of course, I had to go to good ole Wally World to get groceries and household stuff. Hubby got a bonus on a gift card, so I was of the mentality to SPEND. I had my younger son with me who is NOTHING like Squiggly’s 11 yr old! Mine is all gung ho for me eating crap!
I did my grocery shopping first. I am not sure what is wrong with me, but when I go to buy groceries, I seem to get in a mood. I end up leaving the groceries and haven’t bought half of what I needed. How odd. I think it is because I’m so moody about food right now. Hubby might have to do the shopping next time because I really didn’t buy the right stuff, or enough of it.
Ok, I stopped and check out the Ultimate Choc Brownie mix. I tried not to get my cart too close for fear that the box would literally JUMP into my cart! I looked at it for a moment with longing that Jen is so good at describing! I slowly turned my cart down the other way and left the damn thing in the store on the shelf! Now, I haven’t been perfect lately. I’ve had some foods that I shouldn’t have. Usually a mini candy bar! I’ll be glad when that crap is gone! The part I have been horrible about is not planning out my snacks like I was. I need to get back on track better that way. I just don’t FEEL like it. I know that isn’t an answer, but I am struggling with myself really bad right now! I haven’t gained anything, thank God! I guess it about evens out with my not wanting to eat and eating some things I shouldn’t. Not the healthy way to do this though!
Exercise has been nil lately. I have had a respitory (can’t spell that one!) infection of some sort. I’ve been trying to cough up my lung all the time. It has definitely settled in my lungs and hurts. I spend most of my nights coughing, hacking, and blowing my nose. It isn’t bad enough to just stay in bed, but it is wearing me out pretty bad. I’ll be happy when it passes. I hate not feeling well. My boss has it too! I guess it doesn’t pay to kiss up to the boss! lol! We are quite a pair though coughing all day long!
Ok, since I was a good girl and didn’t eat the pan of brownies I really really wanted, I did do a little splurging! I went to the baby dept. and bought a beautiful baby quilt! It was way more than I should have spent on it, but I loved it! I also got some little white onesies and a diaper bag. It is amazing that there is absolutely NOTHING for neutral sex for babies. It is either boy or girl stuff. That has changed since the last time I did this! I guess absolutely everyone finds out the sex of the baby ahead of time now! Told hubby that the baby had a complete wardrobe now. I have diapers and onesies! It will be June, so this works! 
Oh, I did buy some baby shampoo also. I think that was about it for baby buys!

Wow…I haven’t bought a single baby thing yet. That is cute! Good job on the brownies. Aren’t cravings interesting. My thing the last few days is orange juice. Finally gave in today and got Florida’s natural organic Orange-Peach. It was wonderful. Each tasty bite. I hope you have a healthy and easy pregnancy.
Way to go on not gorging on brownies! Good way to splurge, buying baby stuff, how fun! Sure hope you feel better, soon!
Well Kudos to you for not getting the brownies….I am glad you had fun shopping. I have a real problem with planning. If I plan I do okay…if i don’t i have ended up eating more at the end of the day than I should have….have a good day…and please don’t cough up a lung
Hope you feel better soon. Some bug is making so many people sick, half my family. Great job leaving the brownies standing! I craved low fat fudgesicles with each pregnancy. I finally got so desperate I was freezing chocolate milk in ice cube trays. By the fifth child, the 4 little boys were eating all my fudgesicles. Hugs, Marge
Great job not listening to those brownies that were calling out to you so loudly.
You bring back great memories of shopping for baby.
How much fun is that
Feel better

Sad but true. I would even eat them uncooked. Just mix them up and eat the batter.
Sick, I was a sick, sick person. Consumed with food especially sweets.
Then I would hide the box in the garbage and run to the grocery and buy another box to replace it so no one would know. EW! Never admitted that in public before.
Anyway, there has been a box in the cupboard for over a month and 1/2 now. It yells at me sometimes when I open the door, but I just shoot it the bird and tell it to shut up. So far so good!
Best wishes on the baby. There is nothing sweeter than little itsy, bitsy baby clothes.
The title to your blog made me crave brownies….Hmmmm I wonder why?
Good job on not buying them! You are stronger than me, when I was prego I ate like you wouldn’t believe! That is why I am here now! Silly me! Good for you though on keeping it healthy. A few splurges here and there are ok, in my opinion.
I LOVE to buy baby stuff and you are right, there is nothing neutral out there! Maybe we can have a cyber baby shower for you! Hey, just a thought!
(saliva glands working overtime) Did you HAVE to say warm chocolate brownies? LOL
HIGH FIVERS for being strong on the brownie aisle!!!! I think it’s great that you treated yourself to something else non-food related. What a great way to reward yourself for your triumphs. I’m a firm believer in small rewards for hurdles jumped. Baby thanks you for the new stuff.
Take care of that cough, k? There is nothing more exhausting that coughing and blowing your nose 24 hours a day. Ugh…
Hugggggggggggggs,
Shan
Oh Dear, so sorry you are coughing and not sleeping well.
Warm brownies… how about a warm bath with lavender salt and calming music? Beats brownies for me.
Hang in there Beebee…
I love baby shopping. Everything is soooo cute. Good for you on not eating those brownies. I know it’s hard to stay on track and being pregnant doesn’t help because you get hungrier and you want to be bad now and then. Just do your best. Maybe still have that one cheat day where you can enjoy “bad” foods. Just keep doing your best.
