Breakfast

After doing strength for the last couple days, I woke up a bit sore yesterday morning.  So I turned to my DVR and did 30 minutes of Classical Stretch and I felt AMAZING when I was done.  I sometimes wake up with shoulder pain and after that 30 minutes of stretching, it was completely gone.  The woman who does the shoe kind of annoys me...

I love the store Sur la Table.  There is one about 5 minutes from my office and it’s not unusual for me to go in there a couple times a month and drool over the $400 sauce pans.  You may think there is nothing there in your price range, but all stores have a discount section in the back of the store, and they also...

I remember exactly where I was when I had my first scone.  It was a Starbucks.  In Chicago.  I was picking up coffee for my boss and he asked for a cinnamon chip scone to go with it.  Huh.  This was way before I became a foodie and literally ate the same things over and over.  Hannah was probably about five and I used to...

Can we start out the blog post with the cutest picture evah! How cute is that??!!  Hannah had to work early yesterday and Red sleeps with me, so he usually wakes up when I do and I let him outside.  Rummy, the Boston Terrier, loves sleeping with Hannah and Jacob – unless she hears me and Red up and then all bets are off.  She’ll...

For readers who don’t follow me on social media, it’s the one time of year when I decide to cut my hair because once it gets long enough to go in a ponytail, that’s the only way I wear it.  I went over to a friends house on Saturday night, so Hannah did my make-up.  I am on the verge of coloring my hair to...

Wow, it’s been a while since I posted a recipe on here!  I found a recipe for Sweet Potato Florentine Breakfast Cups last weekend and had every intention of making them as written, but then I could not find sweet potato tots to save my life.  So, I went with generic store brand potato “coins.”  The bag I got was 30 ounces so I took...

My alarm went off yesterday morning and I was so nice and cozy.  I was under not only my sheets and comforter, but also our down comforter because I slept with the window open – perfect sleeping conditions!  Until I lifted off the covers and damn, it was cold!  I turned off the alarm and checked my weather app – no wonder – it was...

I had a great weekend.  The weather was awesome on Saturday and for the first time in a while, I had the whole house to myself until nearly 2 p.m. in the afternoon!  Both Hannah and Jacob were working, so I slept in until about 8:30, made my coffee and of course, started getting bizzy in my kitchen.  I was finishing up my meal plan...

I went to the ortho yesterday morning and within a minute of me getting to the office, they scooted me right in.  Did my blood pressure (a bit high 153/100 huh), asked a few questions and I was whisked into the x-ray room.  Four pictures later, I was up and back in the room I started in and she got on the computer and within...

Tony used to hate when I came home with more dishes, bowls, miscellaneous colored plates.  I would most of the time try to sneak them into the basement since in the last couple years of his life, going down to the basement was too many stairs, so I’d quickly come in the back door, run downstairs to hide my loot, and if he asked me...
