Date Night!

Thanks to Joe for scoring us free tickets to the movie theater he works at, Tony and I took advantage of Tuesday night half price meals and $3 draft beers and $3 house wines!  We saw the Informant with Matt Damon – I am not going to say anything to spoil the movie for anyone, you’ll have to decide for yourself to go!   I gotta post...

Windy with a low of 42 degrees!

What??  Yep, we’ve stepped both feet directly into it!  I’ll never understand Chicago weather – we’ll still probably have an 80 degree day in October!  But Halloween will always be crappy!  Breakfast was a leftover steak sammie.  Two ounces of whole wheat Italian bread, 1 egg, 1.5 ounces 75% reduced fat Cabot cheddar, 1.5 ounces steak and two kiwis. I got a mixed bag of...

Beautiful Day and BSI – Chickpeas!

What a beautiful day it was today!  I enjoyed it because I think fall is about to bestow upon us this coming week!  Since we went out to breakfast yesterday, today was at home Mama Rini’s!  One fried egg, 1 piece of bacon, 1 ounce of bagel, 1 tsp. light cream cheese, 3 ounces of frozen hash browns, 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil the potatoes fried...

Handy Husband!

I tend to just take it for granted, but I LOVE that my husband is handy!  He can fix just about any problem around the house, and the maintenance on the cars?  He’s #1!  Turns out both my brake pads needed to be replaced on the Explorer and $75 dollars and one hour later – new brakes!  Thanks Tony!  It’s so funny, but our dog...

Long Day = Weird Eats!

I had to be to work so early, I didn’t really feel like eating anything, but being diabetic I don’t have an option!  So I grabbed one of these on the way out the door – it wasn’t too bad! I had that around 7:30, but by 10:30 I was really hungry, so I mixed up a packet of oats, chopped 8 almonds and drizzled...

Worked Late

No post tonight – I have a glass of wine and am about to watch Glee on the DVR.  That is my new guilty pleasure – do you watch it?  I’ll post today tomorrow morning – night! 😀

Our Garden Bounty!

Um, not so much.  Tony and I had given up on having a garden.  The amount of work, staving off critters who would eat our bounty the day before picking it.  But we love tomatoes.  Well, I love making things out of tomatoes, not actually eating them whole!  The Topsy Turvy was going to be our garden salvation! And then Tony and I pondered on...

Morning!

I can’t think of another title, so good morning it is!  I had so much on the DVR last night that I couldn’t blog last night – I had to catch up on my shows! 😀 Breakfast was: 1.5 ounce multi grain bread 1.5 ounce steak 1/2 ounce shredded mozzarella 1 large egg 1/3 cup sugar free apple pie filling (weird, I know, but so...

Happy Birthday Mom!

Yep, Joe’s birthday, then Tony’s birthday – and today is my Mom’s birthday!  Hannah and Nana! I think she looks great for 69 years old! :D  She is the busiest person I know – now that she’s retired, she wonders when she had time to put in a full work day!  She volunteers at her local pantry, at the local thrift store, and is very...

Happy Birthday Tony!

Yep, just one day after Joe’s birthday is TONY’S BIRTHDAY!  I’ve always loved this picture of us – taken 2 years ago on his birthday! I met Tony when he was 39 – I’ll always remember his 40th birthday because it was so cold and it rained like cats and dogs!  That’s Chicago weather for you – today should be close to 80 degrees! I’ve...
