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...

Right after I shut off the computer Saturday morning, the storms rolled in – we got hail!  Sorry the video is so shitty, but you’ll get the idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0chkn6Ji_BU&feature=youtu.be By the time we got up moved about it was 11:30.  We hemmed and hawed whether we wanted breakfast or lunch, and lunch won.  We ended up going to Texas Roadhouse – it opened up in...

This is going to be super quick because we have storms rolling in and I have to shut down our computer.   Heather, I finally used the last of the Starbuck’s gift card you sent me and got a protein box from there – I just added the strawberries.  I love picky type breakfast plates like this.  Now that the gift card is used up I...

As I was blogging before work yesterday I was thinking what to fix for breakfast and lunch – towards the end of the week my meal plan gets a bit wonky and as I was typing I was thinking “I have a baked potato in the fridge and fresh chicken breast I need to cook up.”  I quickly got some rice going in my rice...

I don’t know why I don’t bake as much as I cook.  I guess it’s because baking is more of a science – it’s a perfect ratio of ingredients, and if one of those are off, it just doesn’t turn out.  I much prefer cooking to baking.  But, with the millions of food blogs out there, I think I am in the minority on that...

I am happy to say that as of April 8, 2014 – ALL THE SNOW AND ICE IS GONE!  And I can even see a bit of green grass trying to poke through the ground.  I think we may have finally turned the corner on the longest winter of my life. I had more biscuits leftover, so I decided to make my own breakfast biscuit...

When I was getting our taxes done with our accountant last month, she got to the part about charitable contributions.  Huh.  Other than donating clothes to Goodwill, that was about the extent of our charitable contributions – I thought to myself “how sad is that?!”  Even though I work two jobs, that doesn’t mean I can’t find a way to give a little. So when...

I’d like to petition offices to start at noon on Monday’s please.  Would you sign it so we are all in agreement?  Thanks! Saturday night was a long night at the bar.  I got there at 5:00 but because our weather was actually nice for a change, I didn’t get my first table until nearly 6:30.  When I left the house, Tony was outside smoking...

Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my blog post yesterday about not being inspiring – you guys rock and lifted my spirits – thank you!! I had one more slice of my Chobani quiche and two of the sausage patties with apple.  These sausages are amazingly delicious – I gave two to my co-worker and she loved them! Again I tested my blood sugar...

I woke up yesterday to thunderstorms and 37 degree weather.  This morning?  Foggy and 40.  I need some Vitamin D!  I never thought I was one of those people who got cranky without some sunlight, but this winter is sure taking a toll on me and Tony. Breakfast was another piece of Chobani quiche with an apple on the side. I had every intention of...
