After stepping on the scale yesterday and seeing that number (which I am not going to share just yet), I knew I had to step up my game otherwise that number will just keep going up. One thing lacking in my exercise routine?  Strength training.  I found this book through www.goodreads.com and ordered it off of Amazon. I have some likes and dislikes about this...

I was so glad to go to the parent orientation at Hannah’s school.  It also reminded me that I don’t miss the commute to get downtown!  I took the 6:58 a.m. train yesterday and it got me downtown by 8:05.  I am about 55 miles NW of the city, and I did that commute for about six months before finding a job in the suburbs....

I down loaded pictures from my old camera that I took with me over the weekend.  When I got to my Mom’s house last Thursday night, we both realized that I am her first overnight guest!  The day after she slept over at our house the week before, she left this note for us: While I had blueberry muffins for her, she had the guest...

My feet are blue, Hannah’s are purple and Nana’s are orange.  And these three feet had a wonderful weekend in Michigan!  When Nana asked us to go away for the weekend it seemed so far away and it kind of snuck up on us. How bad can your weekend be when this is your back yard? Once we got settled into the house, it was...

Hey guys – just a quick post today.  I got a call yesterday from the dermatologist regarding my biopsy.  While the biopsy came back with “abnormalities” I don’t have skin cancer!  Since they aren’t exactly sure what it is, they suggest I see a plastic surgeon to remove the rest of it.  This was how it was described to me: Sometime lesions can be atypical...

Wow, thanks for all your well wishes comments and emails yesterday about the biopsy of my “spot” as I am going to call it.  I am sure it will be fine, but if nothing else, hopefully my experience persuaded a few of you to get some suspicious spots of your own checked out. On the way to work I picked up my prescription shampoos for...

When I walked into the dermatologists office yesterday morning, I would have thought I walked into a Beverly Hills spa like you see on t.v.  I wish I would have had the balls to take a picture, but the waiting room was chandeliers, leather furniture, and the staff all had monogrammed shirts with their names on them and all of them sported Rolex watches.  Not...

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see some rain – our grass is so dead and crunchy, that we haven’t even mowed it for probably six weeks.  When I left work at 5:00 last night? My friend and blog reader M.J. was complaining about temps in the low 60’s in her neck of the woods – I told her I would gladly...

Can I have every afternoon off please?  Because I knew I was leaving at 12:30, the morning actually moved by rather quickly.  I stopped on my way home to vacuum out my car – when the hell did it start to cost $2 for the vacuum machine at the gas station?! All I had for breakfast was a yogurt from McDonald’s so I was hungry...

Before I left for work yesterday, it was raining pretty good – its so nice to see some rain!  It was short lived though. . . by the time I left for work it was puffy clouds and blue skies. And, I always think of Lori, yesterday was Bagel Wednesday!  This was an asiago cheese bagel with 1/2 ounce of salami, 3/4 ounce swiss cheese,...
