Yesterday was definitely a perfect example of living the #wycwyc lifestyle.  I thought I was going to be moving boxes for four hours yesterday, so I wanted something filling, but that had protein, and well, I got a McDonald’s sausage McMuffin with egg.  I know not the healthiest thing to eat in the world but I knew it would keep me full and fueled and...

I am absolutely loving our weather lately.  Cool mornings, the last couple days it’s been low humidity and in the low 70s.  My perfect weather – I just need it to be like that every day in Chicago, okay?  That’s not too much to ask, right? Sadly I had to go to work early yesterday so I didn’t get to enjoy the weather on a...

When I do a Sam’s Club run for work, I invariably find shit I want and throw it in the cart.  While I drool over the box of 24 apple fritters, luckily right next to all the baked goodness is the two pack of Thomas Light Mutli-Grain muffins.  100 calories, 8 grams of fiber = love.  You all know I loves me a savory breakfast...

Tony and I had our first appointment at the Mayo Clinic.  It’s hard to fathom how different my life is just 365 days later – not even – Tony died 141 days after our first visit.  I try to go back and read my blog posts from that time, but it’s still too hard.  I second guess our decisions, wonder what the outcome would have...

Hey guys – Happy Monday!  This post is going to be really quick because it’s stormy and I shouldn’t have the computer on – good thing I can type 120 words a minute! For the record, I had no mojo on Saturday to move at all.  But, as luck would have it, I scored a pair of Saucony shoes at my local thrift store for...

I have a picture of Tony and I on our night stand.  He’s got a super goofy look on his face, and most mornings when I wake up, put on my glasses, that’s the first thing I see and it makes me smile.  Yesterday?  Just tears.  I mentioned on my 101 Days of Summer Challengers email and facebook thread that grief is like a sucker...

While I normally stick to my eggs, egg whites, ham, cheese breakfasts because I prefer savory over sweet, but I still do get a jones for pancakes every once in a while.  The problem I have with pancakes and waffles is that I think they are too sweet once you add the syrup.  I think Damn Delicious’ Blueberry Pancakes has been pinned over 10k times...

While I was kind of complaining to my sister that it was hot while we were in Virginia, she told me one day last week nearly everyone walking downtown had to wear coats on the way to work because it was so chilly.  Yesterday proved to be another chilly/rainy morning, but I absolutely love it.  Amazeball sleeping weather with the windows wide open, my fan...

Guys.  You know what the worst thing is after vacation?  SETTING AN ALARM!  While I woke up every other day to make biscuits, some days I just went right back to bed for a couple hours and it was glorious.  When my alarm went off yesterday morning it took me a second to realize that oh yeah – I had a job to get back...

Did you miss me?!  Ha – probably didn’t even notice I was gone.  Another wonderful trip to the Northern Neck in Virginia is in the books!  It’s funny how the first few days kind of slow to a snails pace, and then all of a sudden it’s time to leave! We made a couple mistakes.  First mistake?  Leaving at 5:15 at rush hour, in the...
