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...

I was so excited about my Balance Bar giveaway that I forgot to mention that I was in our local Sunday paper!  Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram already know, but Tony contacted our local paper after I won the Share the Pot Crock Pot recipe contest.    That was in early December and he never heard anything back.  Well last week...
