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...

All I can say is just. . . WOW.   When I asked if you could help me pay it forward to he children’s ward at the hospital Tony stayed at for the first 8 days of 2014, my original goal was to be able to donate 20 DVDs.  It seemed every day for a string of days, I’d have package after package from Amazon.com and...

Tony and I have looked at the weather forecast for the next 10 days and it doesn’t seem like we’ll see temps near 30 degrees anytime soon.   Luckily I had my warm hat from Shelley to keep me warm! It actually matches my coat!  I’ve had that coat for over 15 years.  It’s an Eddie Bauer down coat and I bought it at a thrift...

I am sure I am not alone in having to detour office treats.  Over the holidays I think there was something new every day – chocolate covered pretzel baskets, candy, and caramel popcorn.  For the record, I’ve already deemed all those things insulin worthy, but I didn’t eat a single thing.   Yesterday’s temptation?  Dunkin Donuts! I put that photo on Instagram and said “I am...

Yesterday morning I thought for sure it was Kyle the squirrel looking for food by the back door.  I put out more granola.  Yep, I even put it in a dish!  Turns out it was an interloper.  Every time I opened the door to take a picture, the squirrel ran away.   If it were Kyle, she would have greeted me at the back door! I...

I could have used just one more day off this weekend.  It went by way too fast!  I didn’t do too much on Saturday because I had to work.  Working in the restaurant business is like the saying in Forest Gump “life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get.”  So is true with a table at a...

I don’t know what it is, but Friday’s at work seem to just drag on.  I kept looking up at the clock and it would only be 10 minutes later.  It was a slow day, so that didn’t help matters much. I was out of my broccoli quiche so I made egg white/spinach breakfast tacos.  If you haven’t found Mission Ultra Thin corn tortillas yet,...

Since I am working a double today, I decided to sleep in a bit.  My alarm went off at 6:15 and I turned it off and said “I’ll just sleep for like 15 more minutes.”  Um, more like 45 minutes!  I still have an hour before I have to leave for work, but it was nice to get that extra 45 minutes. I had the...

I realized yesterday that because of modern technology, everyone not only wants, but expects instant gratification.  Case in point.  My boss needed some new flight times.  I was at the gym when she tried to get a hold of me.  She called me six times and sent me three emails in a matter if 15 minutes.  I got back to the office within 15 minutes...

With the over six pound weight gain, it became painfully obvious that I NEED to workout before work, otherwise life gets in the way and who knows.  When my alarm went off at 6:15 yesterday morning, I turned off the alarm, put on my glasses, threw my hair back in a ponytail and I was out the bedroom door before I even had a second...
