Stink Happens

Cooper, perhaps on a brussels sprouts bender. You decide.

• Thanks to Kim for the comment in my last post!  I got some Poland Spring sparkling water at Trader Joe's this morning and it was MUCH better than seltzer water.  I mixed it with a little cranberry juice and it was very good.  Not sure I'd drink it every day, but it will help on days that I just need fizz.  Thanks, Kim!
• Made brussel sprouts in the oven today.  I love them at restaurants usually but man, the smell is just RANK.  I feel like people in my building are going to come knocking to make sure something didn't die in here.  Anyway, I didn't like them but Cooper sure did.  He ate three and then stood staring at the oven as if he could will more to come out and jump into his belly.  *Note* Yes, no doubt I'll regret giving my dog something vaguely cabbagey at about 2 AM when he's tooting up a storm in my bedroom.
• Whoa, just realized it's brussels sprouts, not brussel sprouts.  Is there anything that Google can't teach you!??!
• As part as my new undiet, I bought both oatmeal cookies and chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels at Trader Joe's today.  They're still in my cabinet, not gobbled down with the wrappers buried deep in my garbage can.  Progress?  
• By the way, chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels are my ultimate period food.  (I'll wait for a second while any male reader clicks off... .... thanks).  Sweet and salty together in harmony, sign me up for that once a month, thank you very much.
