Hannah called me before lunch yesterday to tell me that she got called into work last night and wasn’t able to hang out with me.  She was so upset – but luckily the people she babysits for on Thursday nights is out of town this week, so we will hang out tonight. 😀 I didn’t have time to stop by and pick up a deluxe...

Even though its still been on the chilly side – I love that it is sunny outside.  Too many days in a row of clouds just doesn’t motivate me much! While I had a zucchini omelet on the menu this week, I was running out of time.  So I did the easy thing – microwaved it!  I have a four inch ramekin.  I shredded an...

We had a great weekend – very productive!  Tony and I picked up our new dishwasher and Tony was able to install it, which saved us $150 in installation fees! 😀  He jokes and calls himself the maintenance man because he fixes everything around the house – I am really blessed to have such a handy husband.  But did you know before this weekend, I...

Thanks for everyone’s patience on my $25 Cabot Cheese giveaway – I posted it on April 6, and then with all the work drama quickly forgot about it. 🙁  Really, how could I forget the cheese?! There were some wonderful entries, but I narrowed it down to my Top 5 and will pick a winner from that group. First up:  Debbi Does Dinner Healthy made...

Work is so busy but I am thankful that my day goes by fast!  Because I am so busy I haven’t had the time to stop by your blogs and see what you guys are up to – I promise to catch up over the weekend! 😀 I didn’t have bagel Wednesday this week because I knew I was having pasta for lunch that day...

Growing up my Mom went back to work when my sister and I were 8 years old.  At the time I thought it was so cool that my Mom had to take a bus and the “L” to work – of course years later I learned what a hassle commuting was. There was a gas station on the corner where my Mom got off the bus.  Inside...

I forgot to tell my MIL before she left how much I enjoyed the grapefruit she brought me from Florida – she also brought me oranges too. 😀  My friend Jacky reminded me of a great way to eat grapefruit – which is to broil it.   While Jacky used sugar, I used 1 tsp. of honey per side.  This is a messy dish, the grapefruit...

My parents-in-law are in town for Easter weekend.  They picked up Tony and then headed in the direction of my new office to have lunch with me.  Just before I left, I got a text from one of my WW buddies at my old office.  When I left on Monday I saw that she had a couple of my lunches (a soup and something else...

First I wanted to say with my new job and my Parents-in-Law in town for Easter weekend, my blog reading and commenting has come to a screeching halt.  🙁   I hope that you are all having a great week and I hope to catch up with you guys soon! Breakfast was quick and easy – a Jimmy Dean’s Turkey Breakfast Bowl: One of the attorneys...
