 It’s because it was hotter than Hades! Right Now Today Tonight Tomorrow Sunny Dangerous heat index. Outdoor exposure should be limited. Partly Cloudy Clear Isolated T-Storms 95°F 97° 78° 95° Feels Like: 108° Get FREE weather on your desktop I had every intention of walking my neighborhood yesterday morning – the temps were in the low 80’s – it wasn’t too hot.  But then I...

I am proud to say that I got up to go to the gym yesterday morning – I had every intention of doing laps, but the pool was full – and I don’t share lanes.  So I ended up getting the aqua dumbbells and ended up doing 40 minutes of upper body in the water – it was really hard to keep those floaty dumbbells...

Tony told me that a local bagel store had pretzel bagels, and the first thing I thought was “I need to make some!”  I took a standard pretzel recipe, thinking that if I formed it into a bagel shape, it would taste like a bagel.  Guess what?  It tastes like a pretzel! Pretzel “Bagels” – makes 8 bagels, 4 P+ each 3/4 cup warm water...

Hey guys – I woke up late, didn’t make it to the gym 🙁 so no new post this morning.  Am I the only one who worries when a regular blogger doesn’t post?  I usually think “oh great, she’s been in a car accident!” I plan to walk at lunch and do 30 day shred tonight – have a great Monday! I am so happy...

Hallalujah – after three months, we finally have health insurance!!  I am so relieved.  I don’t even want to think how much $$ we spent on prescriptions these last months, although Tony got really creative with Canadian pharmacies and Sam’s Club Pharmacy.  Thanks Tony! 😀 Did you know you don’t have to have a Sam’s Club membership to use their pharmacy?  They have $4 a...

At 1:30 p.m. yesterday, we finally got out power restored after almost 80 hours without power.  Hallelujah!  It was so weird not to have watched t.v. since Sunday night.  Of course, our DVR couldn’t record my shows, so I missed my episodes of Master Chef and the new season opener of Hell’s Kitchen, but I’ll survive. 😀 This is the last day you’ll see frozen...

Can you believe we are on day 4 of no power??  This is really getting old.  Not only am I tired of eating frozen meals, but I haven’t been Bizzy in my kitchen since Sunday!  I am going through cooking withdrawal.  🙁 I had one thing to be happy though on Wednesday – bagel Wednesday!  I had a jalapeno cheddar bagel, 1 tablespoon WW cream...

Yep, we are going on day 3 of no power.  It’s so funny, but both Tony and I keep flipping on the light when we go into the bathroom out of habit!  Their estimation is still by tomorrow night that we’ll have power – at least Tony was able to power up his iPod touch using an inverter in the cigarette lighter of our car...

I forgot to pick winners from my granola giveaway last Friday, so the winners are: Random Integer Generator Here are your random numbers: 11 22  31 Marcia @Frugal Healthy Simple said: July 8, 2011 at 1:42 pm Seriously? Cocoa goodness, hands down. But I love all granola. Sounds like a great bike ride. I was a slug yesterday. Husband in Detroit on a business trip....

Best Fried Chicken. Ever. Update:  Slowly I am working on updating old posts with recipe cards.  This is the best fried chicken. ever. that I have ever made! I know people think its funny that Tony doesn’t try like much of the food I make.  Whenever he reads a comment that says “I wish I worked with you Biz!” he says “but they haven’t had...
