 I picked a good day to not exercise – most of the day was overcast, chilly, a bit rainy.  While I still have an idea to make crab rangoon egg wonton cups for breakfast, I am officially addicted to the pumpkin scones.  I had the same breakfast as yesterday! Hannah came to meet me for lunch.  I decided to drive to the trail that I...

How expensive life is.  Check this out: I drive a Ford Explorer to work.  There are no good gas stations on my way to work, so after dinner I went to fill it up.  I normally never fill it up all the way.  I find it mentally easier to fill it up twice at $35+ a week, but decided to fill it up last night...

It seems to never fail that after a weekend of crappy weather, the first day of the work week is actually nice.  Although it was on the cool side, I’ll take sunshine over warmer temperatures any day of the week. Over the weekend I made the easiest pancakes.  I tweaked a recipe, so as I was making it I wasn’t sure of the points.  The...

Our weather was so gross this weekend.  Cool, rainy, damp.  After I got back from WW on Saturday morning I did something I haven’t done in ages – I went back to bed!  I got home from WW around 9:45, and went back to bed and woke up at 11:15 – it felt really good. 😀 I always feel like baking whenever it’s chilly outside. ...

Down 1.6 this week for a total of 14 pounds – and I was able to wear a size 12 pair of capri pants to work yesterday – that’s about the only good thing about being short – usually losing 10 pounds puts you in a smaller size. 😀 But then I had to go pick up my insulin – I was going to buy...

First let me say that by labeling my picture yesterday “retarded shining star” was in no way intended to offend anyone – I was merely poking fun at myself, and if I inadvertently offended you, it was no my intention at all.  Let’s just move on, shall we? The storms stayed away yesterday and we had another hot day.  I ended up throwing stuff together...

My bagel Wednesday wasn’t as good as it could have been.  First reason – I bought the bagel the night before, and it was kind of dry by the morning.  And second, I forgot the zucchini eggs I made in the microwave, and didn’t realize it until I got to work.  Luckily, we had leftover light veggie cream cheese in the fridge at work.  😀...

Where the hell are my manners?!  Thank you for all your sweet comments on my new hair cut – so far I’ve been able to style it – so instead of taking 2 minutes to get ready for work, I am now up to a whole five minutes, including make-up. 😀 There is a reason I don’t bake very often.  Simply put, I am not...

One of the downsides to starting to work with a brand new company is that not all the details have been ironed out yet.  We have yet to figure out the vacation/sick time for the support staff, but more importantly, we have no insurance.  The day I left the old job they canceled my insurance that very day, even though I had paid my portion...

I slept in until 9:00 yesterday morning – it was so nice.  The coffee was already made and Tony made me his wonderful eggs – 1 egg, the rest egg beaters made with this spicy oil that he cooks the eggs up in – served on a crispy corn tortilla with fruit on the side.  Delicious! Then Hannah wanted to know if I wanted a...
