As much as I wish I could sit and cheer with Tony on football Sunday, I have a really hard time watching a lot of football.  I can watch a Bears game probably from beginning to end, but that’s about it. But I love football documentaries.  Showtime does a series in the summer time that highlights the inner workings of a football team, from picking...

I’ve always said that my organization skills leave me once I leave my office.  At home, I never put anything back in the same place twice – it drives Tony nuts and me too – in fact I think Tony gets a kick out of something when I can’t find something because he’s like “welcome to my world!” One thing that I am awful about...

Gah.  Here we are again.  The first day of the new year.  365 days staring you in the face where you swear that by day 365 you’ll be a newer, stronger, better you. I’ve done that the last four years. 2009 Is Mine! 2010 Is When. . . I’ll get fit 2011 is When I’ll learn my lesson . . . I was 168.8 then...

You know my final post of the year wouldn’t be complete without a final guest post from Tony! From Tony: Oatmeal I was lying next to my wife in bed this morning when I asked her “are you hungry?” She said “yes, but I have a taste for something”. My mind leapt to visions of pancakes, or waffles, you know fun and exciting foods. I...

Unlike Veronica, I rarely remember my dreams.  The other night though I had a dream that I was on a cooking show t.v. challenge and Gordon Ramsey was the judge. Our first challenge (there were 10 of us) was to make mini sliders and French fries – we could interpret that any way we wanted but he said the main goal was to make sure...

My friend Christina, who I met through blogging, moved back to her home state of North Carolina.  She used to blog at Dinner at Christina’s, but has moved on and happily I can follow her on Facebook.  Check out her and her husband’s Christmas card this year! She said her husband grew out the mustache/goatee especially for this photo.  I love it!  You are crazy...

Christmas night we were just relaxing and watching a movie.  If you like quirky movies like I do, you’ll love Moonrise Kingdom with Bill Murray.   Tony lost interest pretty quickly, but I was enjoying the movie when all of a sudden our dog Ed, who was asleep on the couch next to me, jumped down, peed on the carpet, ran around frantic in the living...

It’s hard to believe it’s over already!  Since first starting to see Christmas decorations right after Halloween, I can’t believe we’ll ring in 2013 just next week. Since my Mom was going to my brother’s house for Christmas (check out his last blog post!), we celebrated with my side of the family on the 23rd.  My Mom makes a mean lasagna, and I brought a...

Thanks for all the Anniversary wishes on the blog and Facebook!  We had the best day.  Tony of course had to make me my weekend breakfast.  This time it was “toad in a hole” or whatever it goes by in your neck of the woods.  A piece of toast with the center cut out, and the egg cooked in the hole (mine NOT runny, thank...

12.22.12 = 12 years! Twelve years ago today I married my best friend.  We spent the day separated.  I was with my Mom, daughter and MIL Bonnie, and Tony was with his Dad and son. People who know me know that I am very low maintenance.  I don’t usually wear make-up, as soon as my hair is long enough to put in a pony tail,...
