Usually Friday’s at the office are really quiet and every time you look up at the clock and think 45 minutes has gone by, and it’s only been 10 minutes.  Waaaaa.  But yesterday was steady busy all day and it actually went by pretty fast.  Friday food is always a “throw shit in a bag” day.  I had some baby new potatoes that were cooked...

Yesterday as I headed out the door to squeeze in a quick 30 minute walk before work, it was overcast, misty, foggy and 60 degrees.  Did I mention it was also exhilarating too?! And thanks Kim for cheering me on during my walk! By the time I got back home to get ready for work, I already had 4000 steps – nice!  Breakfast was another...

I made the decision to not worry about work drama.  Nothing I can do will change the situation, so I am keeping on keeping on.  Not gonna lie – stress like that makes me want to dive head first into a box of Dunkin Donuts Munckins (which, by the way, I deemed insulin worthy a LONG time ago) or order a small deep dish pizza...

Thanks for all your comments yesterday about the restaurant job.  I am a firm believer that if one door closes, another one will open!  Not going to worry about a second job until after Mayo, so its all good.  Although I did have a dream last night that I was complaining about seating at the restaurant to the GM and she looked at me and...

Saturday night I was working the bar with another server.  She’s been with the Chef for a long time, and I knew once I was splitting the bar with her, she would decide what section of the bar I got.  She told me that she had a special request party that night in the bar, so she would take the front half of the bar,...

When I met my step-son at the tender age of almost 11, I am sure he didn’t know what to think of me.  Sure, his Dad dated women after he got divorced and when Joe was littler, but I was one of only a few to actually meet Joe.  Smart man Tony was.  I can’t tell you how many of my friends had kids and...

Do you ever Google yourself?  I do every once in a while.  Sometimes I’ll do a Google image search of my name and see what comes up.  This morning I found this: That was from a post from last August.  I was already into the second month of Insanity.  The caption under that picture said “I drank Gatorade, not wine.”  I was so focused last...

Last Saturday I woke up and had a taste for pancakes.  I don’t normally crave sweet breakfasts, but I got to town on making pancakes.  I decided not to add any added fat to the pancakes – most recipes called for oil or melted butter to the batter.  Guess what?  I didn’t even miss it!  I made my batter and let it sit on the...

After hitting “publish” on my blog post yesterday, I realized I had 45 minutes before my eye doctor opened to call to make an appointment, so instead of farting around on Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram, I got my walking shoes on and headed out the door.  We had rainy/stormy weather predicted but I beat the rain – it was a glorious overcast 72 degrees –...

It was one of my bosses birthdays over the weekend, but she wasn’t in the office until yesterday.  Did you know that Panera has a Tuesday special on bagels?  $6.99 for 13 bagels!   I ended up having a picky plate breakfast – 1/2 an oat bran bagel with a shmear of 5 calorie “butter” grapes, a hard boiled egg with hot sauce, thank you very...
