NFL and MMA vs. Cooking and Singing

It’s so funny when I think how diverse our television show watching is.   Since it was Thursday night last night, that meant an NFL game.  Double bonus was that mixed martial arts was on another channel, so when the football game got boring, he would just switch back and forth.  Tony was in heaven! Me?  I made a pot of pasta fagioli (I just did...

I love to show my love through food . . .

When I was making the beef stew the other day, I reached into my potato bag and pulled that out!  I left this note for Tony Tuesday morning.  While I immediately thought it looked like a heart, I won’t even bring up what it reminded Tony of!  Now all of you get your head out of the gutters! Since Joe’s visit was a surprise, it...

Best. Surprise. Ever.

I don’t nearly use my crock pot as often as I should.  I mean, what’s easier than putting your dinner together before work and then coming home to hardly any prep for dinner?  So yesterday morning I made beef stew, and added a half a head of chopped cauliflower for more veggies.  😀 Breakfast was an oldie but a goodie – Biz’ breakfast sammie!  1...

38:17!

It was so cold yesterday.  When I left the house the air temperature was 7 but it felt like – 5.  So I definitely wore a coat yesterday!  The only problem when its that cold is that it takes our office hours to warm up.  I filled up my big glass of ice water and was just about shivering with every sip. I finally went...

Turns Out . . . I eat too much.

I believe if Tony could have bet if I was going to get up early Saturday morning to go to Weight Watchers, the over/under would be that I would oversleep – look at the clock and say “shit” then roll over and go back to sleep.  Because sleeping in is my thing 😀 But guess what?  I got up at 6:15 a.m., was in the...

Feisty!

Wow – I was overwhelmed with the response from my last post.  It makes me think that I am not the only one who gets unsolicited advice!  All I know is if anyone puts Biz in a corner, I have a posse backing me up! (insert Dirty Dancing reference here!) 😀 That being said, I’ve officially decided to join Weight Watchers! The location near me...

You can’t eat that.

I am going to be very vague here, but you’ll get the picture.  I walked into a room where two women were splitting the last of two pieces of cake.  One woman looked at me and said “Biz, do you want a piece of this cake?”  Before I could open my mouth, the other woman said “she can’t eat that, she’d diabetic.” I explained to...

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

I am lucky in the fact that Tony takes excellent care of our cars.  We both drive 2001 cars, which have been paid off for almost six years, and we love not having car payments.  But at some point, there are just some things that he can’t take care of. Our Ford Explorer has been sitting in our driveway, because we thought it needed a...

I don’t wear a winter coat.

I know, its weird, but I rarely wear a winter coat unless I know I am going to be outside for any length of time, like when I snow blow the driveway.    I usually pre-heat my car in the morning.  I walk 10 feet to my car in the morning to get to work, and then walk 20 feet to my office building. I even...

Christmas from your Kitchen

I smiled at all the comments to my last post that you thought I was quitting the blog!  As I always tell Tony, he’s stuck with me and so are you guys! 😀 Tony was under the weather this weekend so it was low key in the Bizzy household, which is just fine with me because the closer the holidays get, the more stressed I...
