I'll Take "Random" For $1.50

Its lunchtime. Thought I would eat and type.

In anticipation of this frigid weather I bought Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup in bulk at my local Buy It In Bulk store.

Typically the bulk combo is Chicken Noodle/Beef Stew combo, which I have bought although I am not a fan of the Beef Stew. This time I noticed they had the Tuscany Chicken/Chicken Vegetable with High Fiber, combo pack.

I was a bit skeptical.

Or maybe I should say: i was little concerned with how they made it "high fiber". I don't enjoy Metamucil in my soup.

I threw caution to the wind and bought it.

Afterall, Metamucil Soup seemed a far better option than four cans of Beef Stew taking up space in my pantry.

Turns out, its good.

The fiber culprit?

White beans.

I can live with that.

On another topic....

I have a cold weather piece of advice for you:

Don't get up and start two loads of laundry, and decide to do the first cycles in warm water (even though you nearly ALWAYS wash everything in cold).....because after you work out and get all sweaty (but before breakfast with the kiddos) you may want a shower.

A hot shower.

On a very brisk morn.

And the hot water heater may not actually be able to keep up with all your productiveness.

In other news...

We studied about the Fourth Dimension this morning in school: Time.

If you want some serious laughter, come on over around 11:30p. That's when we close the Grammer/Lang. Arts books and open the science texts. Its in this part of my day when I learn about wormholes, and buckyballs, and nanoassemblers.

This artsy-crafty, right-brained gal is quite comical when teaching concepts like the spacetime continuum and the theories of Einstein.

When my children ask me questions I give them two answers: 1. Look it up. or, 2. Ask your Dad when he gets home.

The best part about Science?

Its right before lunch. I'm learning a lot.

Last but not least....

I've really been thinking a lot about my news years resolution regarding beauty.

If you haven't yet read my New Years resolution post. I invite you to click here.

I'm working on a post for Monday. Without giving too many details, I've decided that when i see beauty in a way that is counter-cultural and God honoring, I'm going to write about it. It may not be once a week...or have any rhyme or reason to it, but when I see it, I want to appreciate it!

All right, lunch is over, thanks for sharing it with me....now I have to go fold the laundry that stole my shower.
