How expensive life is.  Check this out: I drive a Ford Explorer to work.  There are no good gas stations on my way to work, so after dinner I went to fill it up.  I normally never fill it up all the way.  I find it mentally easier to fill it up twice at $35+ a week, but decided to fill it up last night...

Our weather was so gross this weekend.  Cool, rainy, damp.  After I got back from WW on Saturday morning I did something I haven’t done in ages – I went back to bed!  I got home from WW around 9:45, and went back to bed and woke up at 11:15 – it felt really good. 😀 I always feel like baking whenever it’s chilly outside. ...

Down 1.6 this week for a total of 14 pounds – and I was able to wear a size 12 pair of capri pants to work yesterday – that’s about the only good thing about being short – usually losing 10 pounds puts you in a smaller size. 😀 But then I had to go pick up my insulin – I was going to buy...

First let me say that by labeling my picture yesterday “retarded shining star” was in no way intended to offend anyone – I was merely poking fun at myself, and if I inadvertently offended you, it was no my intention at all.  Let’s just move on, shall we? The storms stayed away yesterday and we had another hot day.  I ended up throwing stuff together...

My bagel Wednesday wasn’t as good as it could have been.  First reason – I bought the bagel the night before, and it was kind of dry by the morning.  And second, I forgot the zucchini eggs I made in the microwave, and didn’t realize it until I got to work.  Luckily, we had leftover light veggie cream cheese in the fridge at work.  😀...

One of the downsides to starting to work with a brand new company is that not all the details have been ironed out yet.  We have yet to figure out the vacation/sick time for the support staff, but more importantly, we have no insurance.  The day I left the old job they canceled my insurance that very day, even though I had paid my portion...

I slept in until 9:00 yesterday morning – it was so nice.  The coffee was already made and Tony made me his wonderful eggs – 1 egg, the rest egg beaters made with this spicy oil that he cooks the eggs up in – served on a crispy corn tortilla with fruit on the side.  Delicious! Then Hannah wanted to know if I wanted a...

When Jacky chose cherries as the BSI ingredient this week, a quick look through my archives during the past 2 1/2 years of My Bizzy Kitchen – I had not one recipe using cherries! I have Tony to thank for my first cherry recipe – he suggested I make a cherry salsa.  OMG, I love this salsa – although next time I will reduce the...

Whenever I drive to WW I always try to imagine myself with a loss for the week – you know the power of positive thinking?  I had a good week.  I walked for 50 minutes 5 times last week, I drank less, probably could have had more fruits and veggies – I’ll have to work on that this week. Drum roll please . . ....

Yep, it’s taken 25 years, but they have finally caught me.  I’ve never even received a notice to be a juror until a few weeks ago.  I had to fill out a questionnaire and send it back.  I didn’t think anything of it until I got that in the mail.  It is to be a juror on a “petit” trial, which could last up to a...
