Little boys and more on Beverages

I spent a couple of hours last night babysitting the Kannam boys. As you can see from my list, I am leaning heavily towards names for girls, and I can't say exactly why. Maybe it goes back to my early years babysitting the Kyla, Kenna crew? I seemed to always relate a bit better to little girls. Not that I don't have fun with the Kannam boys - just a bit more effort.

Even so, I think we are up for just about anything. At my age, the word healthy continues to cross my mind. And if this means not even cheating once or twice a week with the nutra-sweet, so be it. I wish Dr. Pepper had a caffeine-free version. I think I could do regular caffeine-free Dr. Pepper, not sure I can do regular caffeine-free coke or pepsi.

I was looking at juices today and so many of them have so much darn sugar - and end up being 300 or more calories each. I know I am supposed to be taking in more calories, in fact, I think it is about 300 more per day - not that I have a baseline to know how much more this is. But I suppose by not having my normal 2-3 glasses of wine per week, I am down calories there, so I probably would be OK with more juice. I just have to find a brand that is not pure sugar and syrup. I need to start making my list of questions for the nurse practitioner, and I suppose I should find that health survey.
