Hey, all! How’s your weekend going? I hope great! As for me, I’ve had a tough few days dealing with headaches. Argh! I’m trying not to take any medications, even though I’ve read Tylenol is safe for preggs like me, but I couldn’t reach my doctor yesterday to verify that. So I kept it natural with frozen bags of veggies on my head. Ha! The cold stuff didn’t work too well, so I just rested in a completely dark and quiet room, and eventually fell asleep. I think that must have done the trick, because today I’m feeling so much better! I hope it stays that way.

I woke up super early and hungry this morning, and gobbled down some peach Chobani yogurt while getting sucked into the show, “Disappeared.” Have you seen it? It’s about real missing persons cases. Very interesting, but so sad too! I can’t imagine what those families are going through.

I made a big breakfast a couple of hours later for me and the hubs. It was french toast drizzled with honey, pan-seared prosciutto and sliced pineapple. It was very filling, and I couldn’t finish it all. So delish though!

After some house sprucing and blog reading (have to catch up with all my fav ladies), I got my workout on with Denise Austin’s Fit and Firm Pregnancy DVD. I did the 20-minute cardio session, plus the 20-minute toning workout. It felt so good to get moving!

JD and I started preparing dinner before lunch. We decided to try a recipe for Italian-style pulled pork (we subbed beef since it was on sale) from a paperback slow cooker recipe book I picked up at the grocery store.

Can’t go wrong with Sandra Lee on the cover!

Tex was desperately hoping JD would drop a morsel of the meat he was cutting up on the floor. Ha Ha!

“Gimme some beef!”

Here’s what it looks like, with all the ingredients together. (Wish I could share the recipe, but don’t want to infringe on any copyright laws!) We’ve had it cooking for several hours now, and my mouth hasn’t stopped watering from all the scrumptious smells coming from the crockpot. Can’t wait to dig in later!

Lunch was simple but HOT!

I was in a noodle kind of mood, so I fixed a Lipton Pasta Sides (chicken flavor) and a salad with lots of hot salsa on top. And hot it was! My nose was running, and my tongue needed some serious extinguishing after a few bites. I mixed in a little sour cream to try to cool it down, but my mouth was still ablaze. An orange Popsicle and copious amounts of water did the trick.

JD and I are going to an auction in a bit with my parents. You can find some great deals at those! (Like the china cabinet I got for a steal a few months ago!)

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
