I made some more of my super thin, but tasty, lemon poppy seed pancakes.  After I cooked the pancakes I put in two sausage patties and put a lid on the pan and jumped in the shower quickly.  I must have had the heat on too high, because as soon as I stepped out of the shower I could smell them!  Do one side was...

It’s funny, but on weekends when there is a holiday, my grocery shopping usually is focused just on the holiday meal.  Since I had last Friday off from my day job, I decided to grocery shop for Easter that day and figured I’d go to the store again on Sunday to shop for the week.  But as I was shopping I was like “duh, Sunday...

Some holidays I think are just made up.  I didn’t even know it was Professional Secretary Day yesterday, until I got to work and my co-worker heard it on the radio.  I had brought my breakfast, but when I got there, my boss and brought in a shit ton of food. Icing coated croissants, sugar cookies, angel food cake, whip cream and apricot jelly.  I...

Remember last October when I was invited to an event in Chicago for the Beef Counsel of America (“Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner!”) Beef Checkoff and the National Cattleman’s Association?  We learned all about all the lean cuts of beef, went to restaurants I stayed at The Wit Hotel that has the coolest rooftop bar!  Well, I am going on another trip!  Karli (who has...

What a difference the weekend was since I didn’t have to work at the restaurant Saturday night.  I was happy that my schedule and Hannah’s worked out so we could get together for lunch on Saturday for lunch and thrifting.  I hadn’t seen her for over six weeks!  We ended up going to Wok n Fire – we sat and talked and ate for nearly...

When I was younger I never really wanted kids. I liked the idea of playing with one and handing it back to its folks. I married my son Joey’s Mom and for several years all was well. At some point she (and I maybe) decided it was time to start trying to make another life form. I was fairly happy because it increased the activity...

Without eating dinner the night before, I was HANGRY when I woke up.  I ended up eating a giant copycat granola bar – I seem to never cut them all the same size, and my last row I had two giant ones – probably 400 calories each, but that’s all I ate for breakfast.  That’s the last bite – I ate the whole thing in...

I was cleaning out my wallet the other day and realized I had a Panera gift card that still had $15 dollars on it.  My daughter must have given it to me – she is actually now an Assistant Morning Shift Manager and will start training new employees next month at Panera.  In May she will have worked there for two years already – time...

Even though the sun was shining bright yesterday morning when I woke up, the fact that it was 23 degrees, but felt like 15 degrees and the fact that there was snow on MY chair, was a bit depressing. But we got up in the 40s, so most of it is already melted, so I got that going for me.  I am dreaming of our...

Even though it was 37 degrees when I got up, I put on a winter hat, got bundled up and headed out for a 30 minute walk before work.  It was chilly!  But it was nice to see some grass down by the river. But because we had so much rain on Sunday – it was wormpalooza!  Everywhere I looked there were worms! I came...
