Thanks for all your kind comments about Tony’s article in the paper.  I talked to Tony’s parents and they agreed that Rick Morrissey completely captured the spirit of Tony.  And we all agreed that Tony is smiling down from heaven about this! Hannah worked at the coffee shop yesterday so I swung by on my way to work and picked up a mixed berry parfait. ...

Much like the rest of the world, I am sick of winter.  The snow isn’t really melting and right now it is 1 degree, with a wind chill of –10.  I feel sorry for my sister who has to take the train to her job in Chicago, the only part I hated about working downtown was when I had to walk 8 blocks to my...

Hannah was working again yesterday morning at the coffee shop.  I told her that I would probably be getting a breakfast sandwich and when I got there, she had it already bagged up and ready to go.  The last time I got it I ate the whole thing, and figured out the calories after the fact.  It’s a big sandwich and I calculated it to...

Hannah was working yesterday so I stopped by the coffee shop she works at and picked up one of their Greek yogurt parfaits.  I kept telling her that I love the Greek yogurt that is in the parfait, and I was convinced it was Chobani.  Hannah checked it out and guess what?  It’s Sam’s Club Kirkland brand Greek yogurt! I chose mixed berry for my...

I was trying to think last night when the last time Tony and I went out and saw any of his friends.  It was the couple I was meeting on Friday nights sons wedding, which was July 14. The grooms Dad (second to left) is Tony oldest friend.  They have known each other since high school, watched their kids grow up and get married.  Tony...

My co-worker yesterday asked me if I had seen who is the next model to be featured on Sports Illustrated’s annual swim suit cover.  I said no, and she said “if this is a plus size model, we are fucked.” Yep, she’s considered “plus size” because she’s a size 12.  Well, she is 6.2” tall and weighs 163 pounds.  So she weighs 9 pounds less...

Sometimes I don’t know where my brain is!  Last week I mentioned I was giving away a free entrance to any Spartan race in the U.S. – entrance fees are anywhere from $60-$140 depending on the race!  I threw everyone’s name in a hat and picked a winner: Submitted on 2015/01/27 at 3:51 pm Good for you! I would love to do the race along...

I realized this morning that Tony has been gone nine weeks already.  It’s funny because when I look back on when our relationship started back in 2000, we met in May of 2000, basically moved in together the middle of June about 3 weeks after we met, and got married six months after our first phone conversation after he found me online at love@aol (which...

Hannah is used to me spending hours in the kitchen. Normally cleaning up while I make a mess and typically putting things away already that I haven’t even used.  Sunday we had “blizzard” conditions so I had to post-pone a lunch and thrifting with my Mom and SIL.  Because I thought I would be gone a lot yesterday, I did my grocery shopping on Saturday,...

I was happy to see that my Starbuck’s had protein boxes in stock.   I liked how all the grapes were tiny except for one! I felt so fashionable yesterday, wearing a scarf that Karli and her Mom and my “beef friends” gave me – this scarf is from Shelley, who I have met when I went to the Chicago Beef Wellness weekend back in October...
