It's not what you think...

So yesterday at church, I was trying to rush from one building to another before Sunday school. I'm sure you can imagine how good I am at rushing while walking right now (aka I probably think I'm rushing but I'm moving at the same exact speed as when I'm not rushing)... but anyway, "rush" I did, and I think I pulled a muscle in my left hip. It's very uncomfortable and it's making me limp, but I'm sure because of my unborn child people just think it's the pregnant waddle. I'm not waddling!! If I was waddling, or it was due to my pregnancy, I'd be ok with that, and I would admit it... but since I'm just limping, I don't want people to think I'm waddling when I'm not yet!! Silly but frustrating. And painful. I just hope it feels better before I go into labor, because I don't want to have to deal with this limp AND, you know, giving birth.

Unrelated, yesterday (for a while, actually) I wanted chocolate-covered pretzels. My favorites are at Trader Joe's, but it's been a while since I've been there, so I checked at our local grocery store. The only ones I could find were chocolate-flavored covered pretzels... super sketchy!! What does chocolate-flavored even mean besides GROSS/fake?? So I decided to make my own! I think I can figure out a better way, but what I did was melt chocolate chips with a little bit of butter, drop a pretzel into the choclate-filled bowl, and then fished it out with a fork to tap off the excess, and let it set/cool on wax paper. It took a while, but it got me some chocolate covered pretzels! I probably should have done the rods/stick pretzels so I could dip them easier... maybe next time :)
