Appetizer

I am happy to report that my surgery yesterday went really well.  Literally 30 minutes from beginning to end.  I had no idea what to expect, how I would feel afterwards.  Um, turns out I could have probably done this on my lunch hour since the plastic surgeons office is literally 2 minutes from my office. I didn’t want to eat a big breakfast, so...

Guess what was staring in my face every time I went into our lunch room yesterday? Not just any Cheeto – cheddar jalapeno people!  I must have been in the kitchen half a dozen times yesterday making my breakfast and lunch, and filling up my water bottle.  Um, but guess who didn’t eat any?!  Me!  It helped that my co-worker told me “they probably are...

Why do weekends have to go by so fast?  Seems like I just get into the groove of getting stuff done, and in the blink of an eye, its another work week. I did have a great weekend though!  Tony and I went out to dinner Friday night, and while it was a crappy day, it was a perfect day to be bizzy in my...

Thanks again for your well wishes for Charlie.  He even emailed me yesterday to tell me that he couldn’t comment because he it didn’t recognize his email.  So he said “go into your settings on your dashboard and see if there is a box that says “must be logged in to leave a comment.” Here’s the funny part.  In September this year I’ll have had...

I talked to Charlie!  Every time I had called he was sleeping.  I called my Mom and started to talk to her and I heard my brother in the background say “I have cancer.”  You have to know Charlie personally, but he was saying it in a funny voice and it made me laugh. He sounded tired.  His main complaints are the awful, constant bad...

Usually once Tony goes into surgery I find my spot in the waiting lounge and spread out.  I have my phone, my coffee, my magazines.  I am there for the long haul.  Tony was the last scheduled surgery for his doctor at ten, so I had no idea how long the surgery would take, and the nurse didn’t know. So when other people started crowding...

Thanks for all of your concern, comments and emails regarding yesterdays post.  If I have prevented just one person from drinking and driving, my PSA will have been worth it. 😀 I had some good eats yesterday – I love making hash in the morning.  It’s filling, looks like a lot of food (especially when you use a whole zucchini!) and paired with some fruit...

I only ate a banana for breakfast knowing I was going out to lunch yesterday.  We had decided to go to Bite 9 – they had tons of different wraps and pitas, and Hannah had a jones for gyros.  And I had a jones for hummus, which their menu said was made fresh daily. But guess what?  It’s closed on Sundays! 🙁  So on to...

What a wonderful weekend we had.  The weather was amazing, and I was really bizzy in my kitchen this weekend. I forgot to tell you yesterday that the flea market we went to on Saturday was pretty gross – I mean like worse than some garage sales.  But I did get a new fish spatula and some Greek seasonings, but other than that it was...

I was 1.4 pounds away from getting my 10%, or 17 pound loss.  All the way to the meeting my mantra was “1.4, 1.4!”  So I was a little bummed when I saw this: I came home and Tony was like “how did you do?”  When I told him ONLY -.6, he said the perfect thing.  “You worked hard for that .6, and you keep...
