Flashback Friday and Fashion Friday?

Flashback Friday and Fashion Friday?
Work was so busy yesterday, that I barely had time to eat breakfast, let alone take a good picture of it.  While I don’t like plain Greek yogurt, I love it when I add 1/8 of a cup of sugar free pancake syrup – sounds gross, but its good!  On the side was a 1.5 ounce rye bread breakfast sammie – breakfast comes in at...

No more jury duty!

No more jury duty!
I think it was all your good vibes yesterday, and the fact that it was a short work week, but when I called last night to see if I had to go back for jury duty I was told that there will be no more jury trials this week, and they thanked me for my service – woot!  Now let’s see if it will be...

I survived a full day of jury duty.

I survived a full day of jury duty.
Since I didn’t have to be at the court house until 9:00, I went to the gym beforehand and ran at an easy 4.5 pace for 40 minutes.  Wow, just taking the long weekend off of exercising really makes a difference.  I had plenty of time to work out too, but just didn’t.  And since our computer was shut down because of storms, I didn’t...

WI Saturday and $20 Date Night In

WI Saturday and $20 Date Night In
I got my sticker! I am down exactly 15 pounds!  While I was hoping for more than a .8 loss – I got my sticker, and now I am only 2 pounds away from hitting a 10% loss – woot!  While the scale isn’t going down as fast as I want, I know my body shape is changing.  I wore a pair of size 14...

Flashback Friday and Shaved Asparagus Pizza

Flashback Friday and Shaved Asparagus Pizza
When my parents met, they both lived in Virginia – close to all their relatives and friends.  A couple years after they were married, my Dad got offered a job in Chicago “just for two years.”  They were young and thought how exciting “city” life would be! Well a couple years after that move, my brother was born, two years after that, me and my...

I can(‘t) run!

I can(‘t) run!
Tony and I are lucky that we have an awesome GP doctor.  Sadly, he’s leaving his old practice because of the buracracy he endured these last few years – he wasn’t able to practice medicine they way he wanted. In the letter we got from this doctor group, it offered us about a dozen other doctors to choose from.  Our doctor said that most of...

A Tale of Two Brownies and Salt and Vinegar Wings

A Tale of Two Brownies and Salt and Vinegar Wings
We finally had gorgeous weather this weekend!  It didn’t get stormy until last night, and while it was windy, there was hail – we actually didn’t get the worst of it – tornado warnings were all around us!  While I like a good rain storm, tornados scare the bejesus out of me. I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy of Rocco DiSpirito’s Now...

Flashback Friday – Future Step-MIL!

Flashback Friday – Future Step-MIL!
I have no pictures of eats from yesterday because you’ve seen them to death lately.  Breakfast was more pumpkin scones (only 2 left – must make more stat!), lunch was zucchini lasagna, and dinner was buffalo chicken chili, three ways.  Kelly, to answer your question, chili three ways is just chili served over elbow macaroni or spaghetti with cheddar cheese – five ways would be...

I love movie theater popcorn.

I love movie theater popcorn.
 I picked a good day to not exercise – most of the day was overcast, chilly, a bit rainy.  While I still have an idea to make crab rangoon egg wonton cups for breakfast, I am officially addicted to the pumpkin scones.  I had the same breakfast as yesterday! Hannah came to meet me for lunch.  I decided to drive to the trail that I...
