Life

My late husband Tony used to tell me all the time that my online friends aren’t really friends.  His argument always being “if you were to call them and ask them to drive you to the airport, would they?”  And if I told him the answer would be yes, he didn’t believe me. Much like when Tony and I met online, the two women I...

Fisk & Co. is located in downtown Chicago near the Riverwalk. They serve mouthwatering seafood with mussels, frites, and more! Like this juicy burger!

I knew my blood sugar was low right before I left the office, but didn’t think it would be 39! My sister and I walked a lot, and maybe I gave myself too much insulin at lunch? I ate an apple, an orange, and drank orange juice at the train station. What happens when it gets that low, is that it makes me very tired....

We are going back 36 years to throwback Thursday.  My Dad was our biggest cheerleader (and my Mom too!) but because my Dad worked from home he had a flexible schedule.  He came to nearly all my sporting events, and there were a lot! Field Hockey in the fall, indoor track in the winter, outdoor track in the spring and softball in the summer.  Um,...

Days like today make me miss my husband. We didn’t do grand gestures for Valentine’s Day – other than buying me flowers and edible arrangements, we would just cook a nice dinner at home – perfect! We went out to eat on Valentine’s Day once and only once. It was a new restaurant and I looked at the menu, saw things that both he and...

My Mom is back from her trip and as I talked with her this morning she said “you didn’t blog yesterday.”  Oops!  I started it, then because I was home from work because of the cold, never got back to it.   As luck would have it, my office is closed for a second day due to public transportation issues – and well, it’s still cold. ...

I am closer to overnight oats – I realized my mistake as people started sending me message on Instagram – I thought a serving of oats was 1/4 cup for 4 points – that would be HALF a cup for 4 points – so my 1/4 cup oats the 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk was still too much liquid – but still delicious!  I stirred...

  I love biscuits.  Scratch that.  I love bread.  Like all kinds of bread.  But my biscuits call for 6 tablespoons of butter and I usually splurge on those when I make them for family vacations nearly every morning. Not too long ago I found Ed on Instagram – a WW dad whose lost like 60 pounds.  He’s dwardcooks on Instagram – and I’ll link...

I have to give a happy birthday shout out to my long time blog friend Lynne, who I am happy that I’ve met in real life several times – when I get better we need to meet up again!  Hope you have an amazing day! I haven’t had much of an appetite while being sick, because when I cough it tightens my stomach muscles and...

Hey guys! I hope you are lucky and have today off. Me? I’m on my way to work and it’s still dark out. I’m feeling 20% better, which means I feel 80% like shit. My only saving grace is the office is closing early, so hopefully that will work out for me. This was me yesterday- on the couch with the dogs all day. I’d...
