Made some Shake N'Bake Southern Fried chicken earlier tonight, and it was pretty good with the sweet Thai chili sauce! I guess I had time to do that since I'm at HOME instead of being OUT... sigh.

Leslie just took the Could You Be A Soap Star Quiz and is Not A Soap Star. I am Not A Soap Star. You are not cut out for a life of daytime TV and soap stardom. Unfortunately, you don't have any of the skills required. (Probably a good thing...)

Leslie's just got their Russian Name. I just got my Russian Name. It's Valeriya Andreev.


Facebook quizzes from Kaitlin, Kelly, Adam, and Veronica:

Leslie completed the quiz "What Phase of the Moon Are You in?" with the result New Moon. You are in the New Moon phase. Your ideas about yourself and what you desire are just beginning to take form. You may feel uncertain about striking out on your own. Although you desire to be self-sufficient, you also need support from others. This is an excellent time to state your dreams and goals... try getting creative and using photos, magazine pictures, and found poetry to collage a vision board of your heart's desire.

Leslie completed the quiz "What Type of Tattoo Should You Get?" with the result "Sometimes, a few words can say it all" - Script. A picture may speak a thousand words, but there are times in life when a few well-chosen words can say volumes and move mountains. Most texts, beautiful in form and meaning, originate from enlightened minds, so meaning is portrayed in words rather than imagery.

Leslie just took the "What colour should your iPod be?" quiz and the result is Blue. Your results show that you're original and creative. You are obviously somebody with talent and never accepts defeat. Blue is the colour which truly demonstrates your unique nature!

Leslie just took the "If you ruled the world, what would it look like?" quiz and the result is Peaceful. You are the kind of leader that would show us a peaceful solution to ending our wars and stopping poverty. You are a compassionate person, and we would all be better off in the hands of someone like yourself. Everyone would be happy and at peace!

Poo nugget for this weekend: Postpartum Poo - Typically occurring between one and three days after a vaginal delivery (sometimes even longer after a C-section), this bowel movement is a combination of the worst your GI tract has to offer. Several factors contribute to the pain associated with a woman's first bowel movement after childbirth: abdominal muscle fatigue from labor, dehydration, engorged hemorrhoids, and complications from childbirth such as an episiotomy or vaginal tear. While the physiological reality of the postpartum period cannot be changed, several steps may help to make the first few Postpartum Poos more tolerable: increasing water intake to six to eight glasses a day, increasing fiber intake, and taking frequent walks to help kickstart your GI tract's engine. Gentle laxatives and enemas are also frequently needed in the early postpartum period. The most important thing to do is to go early and go often.
