Twice-Soaked Beans

I'm trying something new with beans: soaking them twice.

After they soaked all night, I drained and rinsed them, but put them back in a pot of fresh water to soak again all day.

I'm hoping that it will make eating the beans a much less gassy experience. I'm also hoping that this will not make them too mushy, though.

Update: It worked!

A date

Jason and I took Joanna to Neena's and Paw Paw's on Saturday. Jason and I went on a date! We saw the movie, "Taken" at the $4 movie theater and went shopping. We had a really nice time. Joanna didn't even cry or look sad when we left her. She has so much fun at Neena's and Paw Paw's house. In fact, she napped on the way there and woke once we pulled right up in front of their door. She knew right away where we were and got all excited wanting out of the car! She said, "Paw Paw!" when she saw where we were.

Joanna on the Dining Room Table

Firday morning, Joanna climbed up on the dining room chair all by herself. I thought that was nice and let her be while I fixed her breakfast. However, I turned around a few moments later to see Joanna standing tall on the dining room table. She had the "ta da!" look on her face. I simply
said, "Joanna. No climbing on the table," and got her down. I figured the worst thing I could do about this would be to make a huge deal about it. So far, it has been day three since and she hasn't tried it again.
