When Hannah was little and she and I lived with my parents, one of the great holiday traditions was bringing out Sachmo.  Sachmo was a Halloween mask that my dad put on the end of the stair banister, and he wrapped a coat around him, with a scarf, and put a hat on him. That way, when kids came trick or treating to the door,...

I slept in until 9:30 this morning – nice!  My blood sugar was kinda low this morning (68).  I wasn’t going to eat much because I am having brunch at my mom’s, but I had to eat something: The old standby:  english muffin/apple/cheese  So I kind of made a quiche/casserole to take to my moms.  I had a huge zucchini that was shredded, so i...

On the weekends, you would think that I would take Ed on longer walks, but life just gets in the way.  I did take him on a quick 15 minute walk though – very windy!  We walked by the channel of the river near our house: Then we walked all the way down by the river – beautiful sunset! We ended up doing a dry...

We broke down our gazebo today, which officially means summer is over!   It’s kinda sad just to see the metal posts attached to the ground!  Oh well, it will be nice when we can put it back together in the spring! Soup (for me) and sammies for lunch today.  We plan on doing a beef roast on the grill tonight – its just us tonight! ...

I wanted it so bad!  The place we stopped for breakfast this morning has the corned beef hash skillet that has a layer of hashbrowns, then a layer of scrambled eggs, then a layer of corned beef hash then cheddar cheese melted on top and they serve it to you in a cast iron skillet.  YUM! But I did good.  I had 1 scrambled egg,...

Okay, so you know how I can eat the same things over and over again?  Well, somehow I thought I could get it past Tony that calzones are not really pizza!  He didn’t buy it! They turned out really good though! Kind of a leftover mix of ingredients!  Mine was broccoli, pepperoni, leftover parmesan chicken from the night before, pickled jalapenos and a few slices of garlic...

I went downstairs to work out, but Ham Sandwich was there, and she was was watching some show on MTV and then flipping back and forth between America’s next top model with Tyra Banks.  But, first come picks the t.v. station, so what could I do? I only did 35 minutes on the elliptical and called it a day.  I was starting to get hungry...

Yea – its Friday!  AND TODAY IN MY MOTHER-IN-LAWS BIRTHDAY!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONNIE! I know a lot of people wished my father-in-law happy birthday just two short days ago, but if you could leave a comment to give a shout out happy birthday to Bonnie, I would appreciate it! Well, sleep won out this morning!  There is about six inches of space between my side...

First off, Hannah and I got our postcards for our race and although we saw our results online, we saw that we didn’t come in last out of 99 racers! My friend Kim ran the race with us, and she made a good point after the race.  Yes, we are slow runners, but at the 1st and 2nd mile marker, both women asked do you...

that I was getting lunch brought in for me for finishing up a couple projects at work, so my perfectly portioned lunch will have to wait until tomorrow. Lunch was being brought in from a Mexican restaurant, and at first glance, I panicked and didn’t know what I could get that would still keep me in check.  The other people invited were getting small things...
