Five things about salads

Posted on June 13, 2012 by heatherlauraclarke

I have never eaten so many consecutive salads in my life since joining Weight Watchers Online on Sunday.
I don’t like salad.
No, not even with salad dressing.
But I am eating it anyway.
It’s best when I try not to think about it while I’m eating it.

In case you missed this post, Darling Husband and I joined Weight Watchers Online as an anniversary present to each other. Today is Day 4, and I’m really proud of us!

Salads suck, but I have made a few other recipes that are really good. And Diet Coke is zero points, so THANK GOD FOR THAT.

Also: it is pretty adorable when Darling Husband texts me from work to tell me everything he eats, so I can log into the system and track it for him. My phone is full of random texts like “pear … just having a coffee … one milk one sugar … still hungry.”

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
