Happy Birthday to Me & My Duplicate!

Happy Birthday to Me & My Duplicate!
I have a really good memory when it comes to names and faces.  It surprises Tony all the time that not only can I recall every teachers name I’ve ever had, but I remember all the kids that were in the class with me too. In 4th grade my teacher was Mrs. F.  I loved this teacher, she was so nice and I thought I...

Sunday Dinner

Sunday Dinner
One of my co-workers ran a half marathon that was in our town yesterday morning.  He ran it last year too, so I went back to that blog post to look at the pictures, and realized that yesterday last year, our temps were 80 degrees! Um, while I was waiting for the first runners to come by?  It was 23 degrees and windy.  You can...

Souper Friday . . . Fail

Souper Friday . . . Fail
Thanks for all the comments about my fall in yesterdays post.  I am happy to report that the swelling has gone down, I can bend it farther than I could yesterday and I think one more rest day and I should be good to go.  I have been popping the ibuprofen and icing it which helps. Yesterday for breakfast I had an open face egg...

I have to stop being a Waffle.

I have to stop being a Waffle.
This weather is so weird.  Yesterday there was black ice on the way to work – almost more roads closed than open.  So weird because we only got like 1/2 an inch of additional snow, but it was all ice underneath.  I drive pretty carefully (Tony calls my driving “10 and 2 with an attitude!”  It’s the other drivers that I worry about not paying...

Gyros Pita Burgers

Gyros Pita Burgers
When I was getting ready for work yesterday, I kept reminding myself to grab my insulin pens that were in the downstairs fridge.  Only one slight problem with that – there wasn’t another box! The pharmacy doesn’t open until 9:00 so I called it in to the Walgreen’s near my office.  My plan was to pick it up before I worked out.  That meant no...

Best Beef Marinade. Ever.

Best Beef Marinade. Ever.
Again another weekend comes to a close and I wish I were already retired.  Sadly, I have about 20 years to go!  Oh well, the lottery is up to $190 million this week, maybe I should get some lottery tickets! Saturday I met up with Hannah, my Mom, Hannah’s boyfriend and his Mom for lunch to celebrate Hannah’s 21st birthday.   She picked Flat Top Grill...

Creamy Stovetop Refried Beans

Creamy Stovetop Refried Beans
I loves me some refried beans.  In fact, given the chance, Tony and I could probably eat a Taco Bell Burrito every day.  Back in the day they were only about .39 cents each! I’ve made Veronica’s crock pot version of refried beans, and they are delicious.  Only one problem.  Since I’ve been making Souper Friday soups at work, I’ve kept my crock pot at...

Refried Bean Black Bean Soup

Refried Bean Black Bean Soup
One of the attorneys in our office has a birthday today, so we brought in treats yesterday.  I am not much of a baker, but I found this on the discount rack at Tuesday Morning and found it in my cupboard. I have a mini donut bake pan, so this made 18 mini donuts.  Only one slight problem.  I didn’t spray my pan for the...

Bartles & James

Bartles & James
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the blog yesterday and on Facebook for Hannah’s 21st birthday!  She had school all day, so I talked to her briefly before she left for school, then didn’t talk to her again until I left work at five when she was on her way home. I asked what she was going to do for dinner, and she said...
