The kids have been wanting pizza.  I’ve been NOT wanting pizza.  Actually, I should say that I’ve been wanting pizza so bad that I haven’t let it anywhere near our house, or us by it.  We have a can of biscuits in the fridge that I need to use somehow.  We have all the makings for mini pizzas, except pepperoni.  So I broke down yesterday and told the kids that we would make mini pizzas today when I get home from work.  Ray bought pepperoni and we’re set.  The kids are SO excited.  I, however, am sort of dreading it.  I figured up the calories and I can eat a mini pizza if I limit it to just a few pepperoni and don’t overdo it on the cheese.  Awesome!  I don’t have to eat something separate from the rest of the family.  But pizza to me has the effect of potato chips according to the commercial – I can’t eat just one.  I’m motivated though.  My other problem is that I hate waste.  The can of biscuits has 8 biscuits in it.  Me and the kids each eat one and that leaves 5 left.  I can’t throw them away!  It just occurred to me that I can bake them like pizza crust and freeze them!  That’ll work!  Great thinking me!  I wish we had veggie toppings I could put on my pizza.  I already ate all my green peppers and onions.  Maybe some mushrooms.  Oh, I have some green chilies left over.  That would be good.  I’m starting to not hate this pizza idea.  I’m glad I have been thinking about it and not just rush right into it and eat a dozen of them.  J
