Happy 4th!

Happy 4th!
Okay, remember the part about me not sleeping in recently?  Well, I went to bed at 11:15 last night – a mere 15 minutes later than usual for me.  I woke up wide awake at 7:15.  I stayed up for about 20 minutes, checked out Facebook, Tony was still sleeping so I thought “why not go back to bed another hour and then get up...

My plan was to make crunchy breakfast tacos, but after putting my lasagna soup together I looked up at the clock and had literally six minutes to get out the door.  And for the record, I made it!  So I threw my breakfast in a bag and put it together when I got to work.  It helps having a panini maker at the office! Now...

Best Laid Plans. . .

I am a helper through and through.  If you need anything, I will drop everything and help you out.  It’s just my nature.  So once Skippy spoke on Facebook about her medication going through the roof cost wise, my brain went into overdrive!  Start a Go Fund Me, do a virtual bake/cooking sale, contact the media about how people how have never met have connecting...

The Kind Heart

The Kind Heart
How many of you have been to the Texas Roadhouse?  They have a bucket of peanuts on the table (which we always bring home for the squirrels) and they give you complimentary rolls with honey cinnamon butter.  Gah.  Nothing better than fresh bread and butter!  I brought two of the rolls we didn’t eat home, and made an egg white, ham, cheese and spinach egg...

Cheese for the Soul

Cheese for the Soul
Saturday morning I did something I haven’t done in a while on a weekend – workout!  Shaun T and I got busy with Beta Cardio and then I did the Ab Interval.  With the central air not on, and the temps in the mid 80s outside, it was kind of doing a hot yoga only with Shaun T! As I was showering and getting ready...

Chilling and Grilling

Chilling and Grilling
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...

Spicy Crab and Carrot Sushi Rolls

Spicy Crab and Carrot Sushi Rolls
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...

Salsa!

Salsa!
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...

Yesterday I Was A Quitter

Yesterday I Was A Quitter
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,...
