Great Dinner and I got carded!

Dinner was so much fun, but you’ll have to wait to hear my carding story! I kind of threw breakfast together on the fly – 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon, 4 ounces strawberries, and 1.5 ounces of Michelle’s cashew banana bread!  I toasted it and put a shmear of Smart Balance butter – yum! And while this was delicious, I was starving by 11:00...

Happy 20th Birthday Joe!

My step-son is 20 today!  It’s hard to believe, but I have been in his life for half of it!  I met him when he was a buzzed hair cut little boy at the age of 10.  His Dad never introduced many dates to him, so I think he was a bit apprehensive when Hannah and I started hanging around a lot!  Here is our...

Dinner at Christina’s

Well, it was lunch, but that’s the name of her blog!  I was running about 20 minutes late but still was the first to arrive.  I was kind of nervous/anxious because while I know these women through their blogs, it can be different when you actually meet in person!  And I am considerably older than these women, so that was a variable!  But I felt...

Another date night!

Gotta tell you, I kind of like blogging in the morning with a delicious cup of coffee – I think its a great way to start the day! Hannah had to work again last night so it was just me and Tony.  I started out with my usual – an egg sammie – but I made a pepper and egg sandwich and chopped up one...

Date Night!

Hannah had to work last night, so it was an at home date night for me and Tony!  We relaxed outside with some wine while the grill got going – but I have to start at the beginning! Breakfast was my typical egg white sammie – 1.8 ounce multi-grain bread, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1.5 ounces 75% reduced fat Cabot cheese and two pieces of...

Happy Friday!

An impromptu dinner out last night, with stuff to watch on the DVR got in the way of me posting last night! So yesterday, I woke up early to make my purple cauliflower mac n cheese – and decided to take advantage of a flyer I saw about a cafe in our building who was now offering an oatmeal bar. I walked in, and said...

Happy Hump Day!

Only two more days til the weekend!  And its getting chilly in our neck of the woods – too chilly to even eat outside tonight!  But I love this time of year, even though Tony feels like everything dies and it’s dark all the time.  I, however, look forward to backyard bonfires! Since I didn’t do a normal grocery shop this week, my breakfast was...

Weigh In Wednesday!

I decided to be bold and actually take a picture of my scale this morning!  I can always “say” I lost the weight, but I decided to let the scale do the talking: And yet I know that I need a new pedicure! :D  So I started the food pantry challenge at 167.6 – so I am down 3 pounds in three weeks.  I am...

Mellow Monday

Today was a steady busy day at work, not crazy busy, so it was a great way to start the week!  I decided to make an egg white sammie for breakfast.  I haven’t gotten liquid egg whites in the longest time, because they were $3.99 for a small carton!  My local Target recently added onto their grocery department, and while it isn’t a full fledged...
