I had such a great weekend.  It started by having pizza and beers with my former co-worker – I am the QUEEN of not staying in touch with people I’ve worked with in the past, but I am happy to have a few in my life for the long haul. While my friends husband and their oldest daughter had a Daddy/Daughter dance, I hung out...

Not just when I got up, but I drove to work, made my breakfast, posted it on Instagram later in the morning.  It wasn’t until Cindy commented on my Instagram post that she told me it was Thursday!  I cooked up some egg whites and wrapped them in ham slices with baby spinach and cheese.  And I had the best sauteed apple on the side...

It’s hard for me to wrap my brain around it being October already.  While the temps have already made me feel we are in fall, it seems like the holiday season is almost upon us.  Before I know it Halloween will have come and gone and I’ll be planning Thanksgiving already!  I know a lot of you hate to let summer weather go, but this...

I forgot to tell you guys what was under the trap door!   Curiosity got the best of Hannah and she got a screw bar to pull the board up.  She got about half way through before freaking herself out and I had to take over.  It didn’t take much to pull it up, and when I popped open the trap door there was . ....

The summer before my twin sister and I started our freshman year of high school of high school, there was a list of fall sports that you could try out for.  My grandma on my Dad’s side was living with us at the time.  She got the list and decided that I should try out for the swim team.  I told her I couldn’t swim. ...

I seriously do not know what I do with my hair when I sleep.  It will be straight as a board when I go to sleep, but when I wake up it look all curly in the right hand picture.  I texted the picture to my sister yeseterday and she was like “did you curl your hair?”  She thought I was going to work like...

Over the weekend I posted a picture of naan that I made and several of you have asked “when are you posting the recipe?”  Well, the answer is today. This is about the easiest naan I’ve ever made.  There is no yeast, so it doesn’t have to rise.  You basically mix it, divide it, roll it out and pan fry it in a bit of...

First off, thanks to everyone who commented, texted me, emailed me, Facebook messaged me, etc. for Tony’s birthday yesterday – it truly made the day easier for me and I thank you to the moon and back! Today, however, is my sweet Momma’s birthday!  Three quarters of a century old!  She doesn’t act like any 75 year old I know.  I normally have to book...

Right before Tony turned 50 I wanted to throw him a big party.  He would have nothing to do with it, even with me being pretty convincing!  He said he would compromise and that for his 55th birthday, I could have the biggest party for him. Today he would have been 55.  I think he somehow knew he wasn’t going to be here for it,...

Today my step-son Joe turns 26!  I literally cannot believe it.  He was 10 when I met him (okay – almost 11!) and he was this cute little chubby kid who I think at the time wondered who the hell I was coming into him and his Dad’s life.  Mind you, Tony and his ex-wife had already been separated/divorced for seven years, but it had...
