Since I knew we wouldn’t have a new office microwave at least until lunch time, breakfast had to be something I could heat up in the toaster oven – so we are back to breakfast pizzas!  Flatout thin crust artisan bread, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce, baby spinach, an ounce of deli ham, 1 scrambled egg and 1 ounce of shredded mixed cheddar cheese.  This whole...

I was half way to work when I realized that I brought stuff to make an egg white McMuffin for breakfast and remembered that the microwave still hasn’t been replaced yet.  I thought maybe I could bake egg whites in the toaster oven, but thought it might take too long, and I really wasn’t sure it would work out.  Plan B.  Subway breakfast sandwich –...

Another whirlwind day at the office.  Although I love days like that – I actually felt like I was contributing to something rather than my usual work days where I sometimes make scratch paper pads out of printouts that nobody picks up!  “Brief Day” is never the same day twice.  Sometimes when my boss has a brief due, there aren’t many exhibits and she handles...

I was happy to see that we only got four inches of snow the night before last.  What I didn’t expect was that it would take me nearly 90 minutes to drive the 15 mile drive to work.  Some roads were fine and I could drive at nearly the speed limit, and then all of a sudden the roads were covered in slush and cars...

I’ve been joking lately that I really need to get another dog the way I take care of the squirrels in our yard is if they were our pets.  I had to look back on the blog to see when it actually happened, and it was a year ago this week that we put our dog Ed down. I just can’t believe it’s been a...

I didn’t expect it to be so cold when I left for work.  -8 degrees!   I don’t know why I thought that just because the calendar says February, our weather would get any better.  And now we have more snow on the way – lovely! I made another batch of Nicole’s Olive Oil (aka crack!) granola over the weekend, not only for me but for...

I was happy when I was in the dining room on Saturday night and not in the bar.  I make a lot of money in the bar, but having to work until close two nights in a row would have been rough.  But, as luck would have it, I had a 10 top sit down at 9:00 a.m., and they were the last table to...

How is it already the end of January already??  Although Tony and I are more than happy to see it go – from the snow and the frigid arctic air.  I look longingly at our gazebo and wish of warm weather.  I love coming home from work and hanging out with Tony outside – it’s one of my favorite things. So when I got in...

Obviously, it’s no secret that I like to cook.  Cooking for me brings a level of comfort that is hard to explain.  I love the whole process of meal planning, grocery shopping, chopping vegetables, etc.  I have often said that I don’t feel like my day really starts until I get home from work and get my hands Bizzy in My Kitchen. So when I...

Alright people.  It took every once of my being yesterday to get to the gym yesterday morning before work.  Want to know why? It was cold.  Like really cold.  Like –20 degrees wind chill cold.  I warmed up my car for a good 10 minutes before getting in it, but it was still a chilly ride to the gym.  I got there a bit later...
