Food service always calls patients asking for their meal selection.  The night before last, all Tony had literally eaten was about 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes, and didn’t want to push it.  So he said “how about just some toast and apple juice.” Well apparently they didn’t want him starving to death – they sent him 8 pieces of toast!!  This picture was taken after...

One of the things that cracks me up about Tony is that he is horrible with names, dates, timing of events, etc.  So I feel bad when I have to correct him when he’s talking to doctors and nurses about medicine he’s taking, when certain procedures were done, names of certain doctors. So the best way Tony knows how to keep people straight so I...

Thank you, thank you for all your kind comments, emails, texts yesterday – my blog friends rock in the support department!  Every time I looked down at my black berry and saw a comment from one of you guys, it was like getting a virtual hug. 😀 So why the blog post title?  Exactly what it sounds like “hurry up and order a dozen tests,...

So I mentioned yesterday that Tony had a doctors appointment with his GP in yesterdays post.  We appreciated all your well wishes by the way! I asked him if he wanted me to go with him, and he said “no, you have to work, I can do it.” So I slept like the dead while he had another rough night.  Of course, I didn’t know...

It’s weird how in the summer 38 degrees seems so cold, but in January it feels balmy.  It was a gorgeous morning – nothing but blue skies and puffy clouds. I did not wake up to go to the gym yesterday morning.  I’d like to say its because I stayed up to help Tony who had a rough night – he was up and down...

I love my waffle maker.  The only thing I don’t like about it is cleaning it, but after eating these waffles, I’ll never complain. What I love about these is that they aren’t too sweet – the pancake syrup is sweet enough. Pumpkin Waffles (made 16 pancakes – each one: 110 calories, .9 fat, 20 carbs, 4.9 protein and 1.1 fiber = 3 WW points...

When I was at Sam’s Club last week for work, I saw this giant package of corn tostadas – 24 for only $1.88!  One is 2 points, two are 5 points. Another score?  Four containers of egg whites for $5.88!  I decided to make a spinach egg white tostada – with a 100 calorie Wholly Guacamole pack – they defrost in the microwave in just...

You all know how technically challenged I am.  No joke.  I think I’ve told you that when I first got my Blackberry, I couldn’t even figure out how to make a phone call.  Tony has a smart phone and I couldn’t figure out how to answer his phone! But I am proud that I now have a “print friendly” button at the end of my...

Thanks to everyone who shared their worst date stories yesterday – so fun to read! 😀 Yep, our balmy January has been replaced with snow.  It’s just so weird that on Wednesday I was running outside with just a t-shirt (well, and pants too!) and today the high is going to be 20 degrees and we have 6  inches of snow on the ground? I had...

My eats were pretty random yesterday for breakfast and lunch – check out my thrown together in 1 minute 8 point breakfast.  I’ve been rationing my MIL’s pumpkin bread from Christmas – its so good – thanks again Bonnie!  It was definitely the star of breakfast. 😀 Yesterday was our last nice day – it was 52 degrees when I went on my walk/run of 45...
