I had to be to work so early, I didn’t really feel like eating anything, but being diabetic I don’t have an option!  So I grabbed one of these on the way out the door – it wasn’t too bad! I had that around 7:30, but by 10:30 I was really hungry, so I mixed up a packet of oats, chopped 8 almonds and drizzled...

No post tonight – I have a glass of wine and am about to watch Glee on the DVR.  That is my new guilty pleasure – do you watch it?  I’ll post today tomorrow morning – night! 😀

Um, not so much.  Tony and I had given up on having a garden.  The amount of work, staving off critters who would eat our bounty the day before picking it.  But we love tomatoes.  Well, I love making things out of tomatoes, not actually eating them whole!  The Topsy Turvy was going to be our garden salvation! And then Tony and I pondered on...

I can’t think of another title, so good morning it is!  I had so much on the DVR last night that I couldn’t blog last night – I had to catch up on my shows! 😀 Breakfast was: 1.5 ounce multi grain bread 1.5 ounce steak 1/2 ounce shredded mozzarella 1 large egg 1/3 cup sugar free apple pie filling (weird, I know, but so...

Yep, Joe’s birthday, then Tony’s birthday – and today is my Mom’s birthday!  Hannah and Nana! I think she looks great for 69 years old! :D  She is the busiest person I know – now that she’s retired, she wonders when she had time to put in a full work day!  She volunteers at her local pantry, at the local thrift store, and is very...

Yep, just one day after Joe’s birthday is TONY’S BIRTHDAY!  I’ve always loved this picture of us – taken 2 years ago on his birthday! I met Tony when he was 39 – I’ll always remember his 40th birthday because it was so cold and it rained like cats and dogs!  That’s Chicago weather for you – today should be close to 80 degrees! I’ve...

Dinner was so much fun, but you’ll have to wait to hear my carding story! I kind of threw breakfast together on the fly – 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon, 4 ounces strawberries, and 1.5 ounces of Michelle’s cashew banana bread!  I toasted it and put a shmear of Smart Balance butter – yum! And while this was delicious, I was starving by 11:00...

My step-son is 20 today!  It’s hard to believe, but I have been in his life for half of it!  I met him when he was a buzzed hair cut little boy at the age of 10.  His Dad never introduced many dates to him, so I think he was a bit apprehensive when Hannah and I started hanging around a lot!  Here is our...

Well, it was lunch, but that’s the name of her blog!  I was running about 20 minutes late but still was the first to arrive.  I was kind of nervous/anxious because while I know these women through their blogs, it can be different when you actually meet in person!  And I am considerably older than these women, so that was a variable!  But I felt...

Gotta tell you, I kind of like blogging in the morning with a delicious cup of coffee – I think its a great way to start the day! Hannah had to work again last night so it was just me and Tony.  I started out with my usual – an egg sammie – but I made a pepper and egg sandwich and chopped up one...
