Anyone who knows me knows that I probably haven’t bought clothes retail for at least fifteen years.  I am the garage sale/thrift store/good will queen!  Best purchases so far?  An Anne Taylor suit – pants/skirt/jacket for $9, several Coach bags (that I didn’t pay more than $20 bucks) and a Prada purse for $8!  I once bought a coach messenger bag at a garage sale...

Am I the only one who immediately goes to worse case scenario when someone hasn’t blogged for a long time, with no explanation?  I realize not everyone blogs at the same pace or frequency, but when someone hasn’t posted in a long time, who used to, I wonder, what happened? Case in point:  Healthy Mom on the Run.   She last posted in August when her...

I hardly ever wear makeup.  I’ve never been one of those women who worries about what they wear or how they look.  I am pretty sure most of my shirts have stains.  When I got married I had my hair and make up done – when I first saw Tony I think he was like “is that even Biz?  It looks like her sister!”  He...

One thing I’ve been doing lately is on Sunday afternoons, just baking up 4-6 baked potatoes just to have on hand.  Whether to make hash browns, or rosemary potatoes for dinner, or french fries. Yesterday morning I decided to make them my breakfast – I scooped out the insides and scrambled them with 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1 ounce diced ham, put them back in...

I neglected to mention that I slept for 12 hours on Saturday night!  I didn’t get out of bed until 10:30, and I seriously could have slept until noon. Tony made me another one of his delicious breakfasts – eggs on a corn tortilla with my baja fresh salsa, cheese and tater tots on the side. I made my grocery list, went to the store...

Our dog is weird.  We buy him stuffed animals at garage sales.  We try to buy toys that have squeaks in them or make a noise.  He loves his new toys and carries it around where ever he goes.  Until they stop making a noise, and then he rips the shit out of them – eye balls and all!  They don’t last very long. However,...

We were going to have our first bonfire of the season last night, but it was a bit windy.  Cool weather has hit our neck of the woods – our high today is only going to be in the mid-50’s!  I absolutely love this weather though 😀 I used the rest of my momo dough to make another egg beater, mozzarella cheese and baby spinach...

UPDATE:   I did not make it to the next round – but thanks to everyone who voted for me! 😀 I find out if I made it to the next round of Project Food Buzz – a big thank you to everyone who voted for me! 😀 If I make it to the next round, you have to make a luxurious dinner – what is...

Electrolux is teaming up with Foodbuzz at the 2nd annual Foodbuzz Festival.  They have an oven that actually has a Perfect Turkey Button!  How cool is that?  So they are asking for recipes for side dishes, appetizers or desserts since they already have the turkey cooking taken care of. I really want to go the Foodbuzz Festival – I have so many foodie friends in...

and I’ve lost my exercise mojo.  I walked for 30 minutes before my blood sugar stopped me in my tracks.  When I got back to the office it was 60 and dropping fast.  Even so, I felt like I was just going through the motions – no purpose, no effort. Did you steal my mojo?! 😀   I need to find it – quick 😀 Breakfast...
