Lately I’ve noticed that I have an “orb” in some of my pictures on some of my walks.   I am sure it’s just a reflection of the sun, or some explanation on how it gets in the photo, but I like to think it’s Tony following me on my walks.  Sappy, I know, but I like it.  One of Tony’s favorite shows was Ghost Adventures.  ...

I had to laugh when I started on my walk yesterday morning and my phone pinged and I had a Timehop – and wouldn’t you know a week ago yesterday morning I was walking by the river!  I must have walked earlier yesterday morning vs. last year.  You’ll notice that the dilapidated dock is nearly all gone this year.  Left was yesterday, the right was...

I woke up yesterday morning to the sound of rain drops outside my bedroom window.  I love having my window open pretty much all the time in the spring and summer.  I have a down comforter on my bed and it’s super chilly in the room, but I am toasty poasty.  I gave into the fact that it’s raining and I probably wouldn’t be able...

Saturday I woke up and I felt . . .smaller.  I know it sounds weird, but I just decided to jump on my Zero scale and see where I was at – I normally WI on Sunday’s but figured a day wouldn’t make that much of a difference. I started out at 175.4 – I am only 7.9 pounds away from the 150s!  And if...

You may know by now that I puffy heart Chobani.  Like a lot.  It has just the right amount of tang, and I always buy the plain when I make a parfait so that the fruit and the granola balance with the yogurt and it’s not overly sweet.  But, I have to say, I am frugal when it comes to the grocery store, and my...

I have to make this a super quick post – it’s really stormy this morning,  and I probably shouldn’t even have the computer on – gah! It was a bit chilly and overcast yesterday, but a nice quick 20 minute walk before work woke me up. I made another batch of my overnight cottage cheese pancakes, except this time subbed in a whole chopped apple...

I wasn’t sure how long my MRI results were going to last yesterday morning, so I snuck in a quick 20 minute walk before work.  My knee hurt a little bit the first few minutes, but then it was fine.  Um, note my pajama pants (coffee stains and all – ha!).  It was pretty windy and about 34 degrees when I left. With my leftover...

Although it didn’t feel like it when I left for my walk before work: The river looked really pretty, love when it’s still like this.  Too bad we couldn’t have afforded a house on the river, but I am glad that we are close enough to it so we don’t have to hear the noise of boats and jet skis – it can get really...

I usually bring my cell phone into the bedroom with me every night.  I don’t know why, but it’s a habit I picked up from Tony.  He always had the house phone and his cell phone on his night stand every night just in case.  So yesterday morning, I hear a beep on my phone.  I pick it up and it’s my Timehop for the...

My office is closed for Good Friday, so I got to sleep in – I just woke up at it’s 8:15 – nice!  My sister has to work, but I am going downtown to meet her for lunch to finally celebrate our birthday which was last month.  I can’t even remember the last time I went to Chicago – maybe last year when I went...
