Hello, my name is Kara Marie and I'm a Carbivore....

Ahhhhh....FINALLY! It's Sunday!! You know what that means?? CHEAT DAY! I love diet cheat day. Every week on this diet, my weekends get more and more strict. My initial goal was to stay strict and true to my diet Monday through Friday, and eat what I wanted on the weekends. Each weekend I try to get better. I can honestly say other than a slice of pizza on Friday, I've been SO good. And tonight, for dinner I had a plate full of pasta, a slice of bread, and about a cup of zucchini. LOVE my carbs! Mmmm. Now I want something SWEET and am determined to get it!

Anyhow, I've had a pretty decent weekend. Yesterday was a little rough--had some self realizations . Those always hurt. But today I'm trying to turn those little personality flaws into good qualities.

Today, Joe, Anthony, and I went to the Fall Festival at Peek'n Peak. I'm a huge fall fan so I'm always looking forward to things like this, but then I forget what it's like to battle insane crowds, in the mud, with a giant stroller and a un-rested toddler. I always get SO stressed when I go to festivals. First of all, I'm annoyed by large crowds of people all going in different directions. Secondly I hate when people don't say "THANK YOU" when you open the door for them or allow them to walk first, and I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I get frustrated that I can't wander off and browse the crafts and other little booths that are there. Ladies, you know sometimes the men in our lives can be...uhhmm....selfish. So here I am standing outside in the freezing cold in the mud with a squirming toddler, a giant stroller, and a hot cider that spills in the cup holder everytime someone runs into the stroller (which is about every 1.83 seconds). While I'm doing this, Joe is browsing for snowboards in the ski swap inside. He doesn't ski. Or snowboard. Grr. Well, NOW apparently he does because he just bought a snowboard. Goofball. Anyhow, it has nothing to do with his soon-to-be-hobbies, it's just that I would much rather be looking at stuff for me than waiting for him. I'll stop complaining about it now :) Sorry, Joe!

ANYHOW--on a lighter note, check out the cute pix I shot of the little guy today :)




That'll be all for now :)
