I have a confession to make, in full disclosure, that I did have two glasses of wine last night after declaring I was kicking alcohol to the curb.  It was the last of a bottle, and now my house is wine free 😀  My goal is to go the whole month without alcohol and see how that helps with my weight.  The funny thing is,...

Anyone who knows me knows that Tony and I don’t like onions.  As much as I tried to shield Hannah from onions, on an innocent sleepover at a friends house when she was 12 introduced Hannah to the onion. They had ordered a veggie pizza, and not wanting to be rude, decided to eat just one piece.  She came home and declared her love of...

You have been with me in good times, and in bad.  But you are preventing me from where I want to be.  Don’t take it personally, but I have to kick you to the curb. Today is the two month mark in our 101 days of summer challenge.  While I have lost a total of 1 inch in my thighs and 1/2 inch in my...

Looking back on my eats this week, I think I did pretty good eating out of our fridge and freezer this week – I like not spending money on groceries every once in a while, even though I love grocery shopping! 😀 I love Hormel turkey chili.  When it goes on sale, I usually buy some and keep it in my desk just in case. ...

Kelly and her husband were looking for new/healthy recipes to try out.  Kelly got a pick, her husband got a pick and then they agreed on one together.  Well Kelly picked my Thai Basil Chicken in wonton cups!  She’ll be making the three recipes in the next couple weeks and if I win I get a copy of her cookbook. 😀 Breakfast was more pumpkin...

A perm that is.  It was probably around 1984 and perms were all the rage.  My hair was straight as an arrow and I wanted curls!  So I got a perm, and it lasted all of about 3 days!  My hair can just never hold a curl! I was reminded of this when I got a phone call from Hannah yesterday afternoon: Hannah:  “So how...

This morning was a bit warmer – today the radio said it was 68 degrees without a cloud in the sky. Breakfast yesterday morning is becoming one of my favorites – egg beaters and spinach and Polish rye toast and kiwi on the side. My work morning flew by, and before you know it, it was time to hit the gym!  I did a challenging...

I’ve been doing my part to get you to 400,000 in no time I love Cabot cheese and love looking down on the Cabot farms when I’m out on my snowmobile in the winter. I’ve never...

Tony’s family was over yesterday.  They came over a bit earlier than expected so it was a mad dash to the store for Tony to pick up some stuff for apps, and me doing a quick 15 minute house clean.  Luckily the house wasn’t too bad to begin with – just wish I had had Hannah’s help, but she was at work. 🙁 My camera...

As we were driving up to Lake Geneva for the second time in a week, I was thinking how much my Mom would enjoy this town.  I think later in the summer my Mom, Hannah and I will spend a day there walking around all the shops. We ended up picking up a quick lunch on our way up. Lake Como was just as beautiful:...
