Yesterday morning I woke up at 5:15 in the morning.  I was soaking with sweat which meant only one thing – my blood sugar was low.  Know what sucks about that?  Literally dripping with sweat inside a toasty bedroom to walk into a cold kitchen to check my blood sugar.  Yup.  It was 51.  No idea why.  It was 119 before bed, and usually when...

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...
