I had a few organizational goals that I wanted to get done over the long weekend.  One was to organize my clothes.  Since Hannah moved out I basically made her room my closet.  I had stuff in dressers, on shelves in her closet.  When Hannah and Jacob moved in, I basically just took all the clothes and threw them on the extra bed in my...

Not going to lie, a big part of me wanted to just go to bed Christmas Eve and wake up on December 26 and skip Christmas all together.  My grief is still so raw that at any given moment I can feel myself start to tear up and it’s all I can do to not to go into a full blown crying fit right then...

If I were to describe the last six weeks of my life I would say this.  It’s like I am on a Merry Go Round, and it keeps spinning faster and faster and I keep trying to get the operators attention to have them slow it down or stop it, but no one is there to hear me and it just continues to spin around...

How about we start off today’s blog with some good news. . . the winner of the Ninja Blender!   I loved reading each and every one of your Christmas stories! True Random Number Generator:  Min: 1   Max: 100  Result:  64 Erin Love ya, Biz. I think it would be hard to delete the DVR. Just one more thing that breaks my heart for you. My...

Fourteen years ago today, Tony and I got married on the beach in Naples, Florida.  Long time readers will know that Hannah was my maid of honor and my step-son Joe was our best man.  Tony’s parents and my Mom were the only other ones in attendance, and that’s exactly the way I wanted it.  Small.  Intimate.  Although my twin sister will give a dig...

I have a dilemma.   It’s the DVR.  There are shows on there that Tony and I watched together, and I can’t yet watch those shows.  However, there were shows only Tony recorded for himself, and would usually watch during the day when I was at work.  I can’t seem to get myself to stop the recordings.  It’s feels to me like it’s just one more...

I seem to be on a breakfast burrito kick, and I am okay with that!  I ended up having the last of my leftover steak in a breakfast burrito and had one of the Harry & David pears sent to me from Extended Stay America – OMG, these pears are so good.  My Mom got these pears as a work gift many years ago and...

If you have had a food blog for any length of time, it’s only a matter of time when you start getting emails to try different products and share them with your blog readers.  Sadly, since I am diabetic, I mostly get requests to try artificial sweeteners.  Ew.  Most of them test like chemicals yet they claim “no calories and no blood sugar spikes!”  Um,...

35 days ago yesterday, I was determined to be “back on!” and I zeroed out my Zero scale and decided it was a fresh start.   Well that was when Tony went to the hospital and I never would have guessed 36 days later I would be a widow.   My Aunt and I were talking and our cousin, when she became a widow, said that word...

I have been overwhelmed with emails, comments, greeting cards, text messages, Facebook messages these last couple weeks.  Not only that, but I’ve gotten a ton of loot from blog readers in the last few weeks, and I hopefully haven’t forgotten any of them – if I did – please remind me! Jaclyn is a blog reader from Texas – she send me such an adorable...
