Life

Since I was off work for my diabetes doctor appointment, I slept in until 8:00 – so nice!  The dogs were happy about that too.  But I have to tell you, after eating Popeyes the night before, I woke up not feeling the greatest.  My Insta friend Kim always says that when you eat shit you end up feeling like shit, and she’s right.  I...

I love when beef for dinner can morph into breakfast.  This chuck roast was so tender, and when I sliced it cold, it was easy to shave.  I’ve always dreamed of having a meat slicer – but I think Hannah would have a heart attack if I bought one more kitchen tool. 😀  Flour tortilla (3) (note to self:  need to find and buy Tumaro...

Wow.  I am completely shocked by all the love that was sent my way yesterday!  Like, literally speechless.   My boss needed to use my phone to do a Facetime interview, so I turned every single notification off.  That’s all I would have needed is to have all my social media notifications popping up while he was on the phone!  I got it back around 9:45,...

Dear whoever wrote me the following “notes.”  I obviously know you will read this and I will address this only once and burn these in my fire pit. I don’t know who you think you are that you can write so much hateful things to someone you don’t really even know.  I’ve never passed myself off as a fashion blogger, I don’t mind buying my...

This will be the last installment of my first one tank of gas trip. Sunday morning we met my cousin Jim and his wife Marina at the cutest restaurant called S2S – Sugar to Salt. I got the first thing that jumped out to me – the brisket egg muffin with braised greens and sharp cheddar. Looks simple, but the greens were braised in a...

What a gross day to go back to work yesterday, but I guess I don’t mind sitting at my desk when it’s a rainy day.  My feet got soaked though on my walk to my office from the train station.  I have rain boots, but they aren’t comfy to walk long distances.  Anyone own a pair of comfy rain boots, and if so, what brand?...

I decided a couple months ago that I was going to do more this summer.  It doesn’t have to be expensive to travel – I figured there are lots of places I could go on one tank of gas.  My car when full of gas can go 412 miles – that’s a long way in any direction. My cousin Patty and I talked about getting...

This will be a quick post. I’m folding clothes and packing my weekend bag to spend the weekend with my cousin Patti. I’ve decided that this summer will be “one tank of gas” trips – maybe once a month or every other weekend – who knows?! My car when full has 375 miles to a tank of gas. Turns out my cousin lives 368 miles...

I don’t mind the commute to work at all.  Most of the time.  I do my blog post on the train ride in, catch up on news, social media, etc.  The hour goes by quick!  Until yesterday, I looked up from my laptop and thought “I am not sure we’ve moved in a while.”  My train ended up being 50 minutes late, and with my...

Having my brother and his family in town is always a good time.  We just laugh whenever we get together and it was so good for my soul. This photo below pretty much sums up the weekend – just doing silly stuff and since I stayed at my Mom’s house since Friday night, I didn’t have the normal household weekend chores to distract me.  Wait,...
