How did my daughter turn 22 years old already??  I swear it feels just like yesterday that she was born.  It’s funny but when I was little I thought I would have tons of kids.   I’d be the stereotypical stay at home Mom.  I’d have fun crafts and make fresh bread every day. But, turns out if the father of your child doesn’t want...

I woke up to three more inches of snow on the ground.  It’s funny because in the beginning of the winter I don’t mind bringing up the snow blower and doing the driveway all the way to the street.  Now?  I just shovel enough to get to my car!  It was a long commute – usually 35 minutes but yesterday morning took an hour and...

Hi my name is Tony. I was kind of lucky when I grew up; I was a large burly lad and can’t ever remember being bullied. I have always hated bullying, I’ve never understood it. It seems that some person develops a problem because they perceive that the person they are bullying won’t or can’t defend themselves. It’s obviously the bully’s insecurities that drive that...

I told Tony on Sunday that I was going to be getting up and working out before work again.  That way life won’t get in the way and I can at least have one workout done.  Um, turns out if you drink wine, stay up to watch the Oscars and not do a blog post for the next day, that’s not going to happen.  Oh...

The weather put a damper on customers at the restaurant Saturday night.  We had temps in the single digits and more snow was predicted.  I think it snowed about 4 inches during my 5 hour shift!  I made $125 after tipping out, so while it wasn’t as great as I normally do – its groceries for half the month and gas, so that’s not bad. ...

I had time before work to make my version of Renee’s creamy cheese tortellini soup.  I had water boiling for the tortellini (I knew I wanted to keep that separate and add it in later when I reheated the soup at work) and another pot with the soup.  In between all this I was downloading pictures from the day before, jumping in the shower, drinking...

It was an attorneys birthday yesterday, so we had breakfast treats.  I knew there were going to be bagels, so I brought stuff to make an egg white/bacon/cheese breakfast sammie.  Lori, I always think of you when I eat a bagel! That was super filling, which was a good thing, because I had one boss wrapping things up before leaving for a spring break trip...

Usually when I get up and cook and blog before work, Tony is still sleeping.  Nothing wrong with that but I try not to make too much noise.  I was looking for my non-stick skillet yesterday morning to make an omelet, and I couldn’t find it.  I could have made a ton of noise looking in the dish washer (which I know I am not...

Breakfast tacos were back on the menu.  #love  I made them at home and reheated them at work.  I popped them in the toaster oven to crisp up again, then got busy at my desk and got back to them in the nick of time – nearly burned them!  These were extra crunchy – they were filled with egg whites, baby spinach, cheddar cheese and...

Last week I was paying our phone/internet/cable bill and I thought to myself.  $250 bucks seems like a lot of money for all this!  We have AT&T U-verse.  We have basically every channel you could want, a DVR, and 3 other receivers in the house.  I jumped on line and saw all these specials for new customers and thought “what are they doing for me...
