First of all, thanks for all the birthday wishes!  I had a great weekend – I only wish Tony was feeling a bit better.  🙁 Even though Saturday was my birthday,  I didn’t skip my WW meeting.  I am lucky that my leader is totally fun and upbeat – she’s an absolute riot – since January I don’t think there have been less than 100...

Well, our birthday is tomorrow, but since I don’t post on the weekend, we’ll just have to celebrate a day early!  Happy early Birthday to my duplicate Jennifer! 43 years ago tomorrow these little aliens entered the world! And before you knew it  . . . we were in school! And then the 80’s came along!   I am sure we thought we were both totally...

I love my morning time –  blogging, reading blogs, putting my food together for the day.  It’s just me, sometimes the dog will join me from the bedroom.  Yesterday I would have had my usual morning coffee.  I was out, but asked Hannah to pick some up on her way home.  Unfortunately, it was decaf – such a waste!  (thanks anyway Han!). Sometimes these mornings...

Turns out my new camera has a little flashy thing that tells me when my battery is REALLY low – so there is no picture of my breakfast – but it was 2 ounces of leftover pepper steak, peppers and cheese stuffed into a hallowed out 2 ounce baked potato – such a filling breakfast for only 6 points! So guess who’s caught the running...

It was so nice to cook dinner last night and it was still light out.  Now I just can’t wait to bring out our gazebo chairs and be able to sit outside – that’s one of our favorite things to do at night. 😀 Yesterdays breakfast was a favorite, and each time I have it I wonder why I wait so long between eating it. ...

I would love to change but have never...

I wasn’t sure what my work day was going to be like, so I knew I had to at least get a walk in before work.  I have this ugly bright yellow jacket I like to wear when I walk or bike outside – I want the cars to see me, but when the sun starts to set, the silver part is actually reflective. I...

He did this to me. . . I turned my back to the stove for a minute, I thought he was getting water at the sink, then next thing I do is turn around and see this . . .  and jump! You would think I would just throw the damn thing out, but I seriously forget about it! Now breakfast yesterday may seem weird,...

I had totally forgotten that I had tried to make baked paczki (“poonch-kee”) two years ago, until I saw that post got 100 hits yesterday!  They were just okay, but I may have to try them again next year. 😀 Since I didn’t do anything traditional for fat Tuesday, I had to drool over my friend Jacky’s shrimp etouffee – holy cow does it look...

Thanks for all your well wishes for Hannah’s birthday yesterday!  Since she had school all day yesterday, we decided to go out for sushi on Sunday night.  Here she is ready to go: Although Hannah and I don’t do raw sushi – we like the pot stickers, aged dashi tofu, tempura shrimp and veggies – you know, all the healthy stuff – ha! Tony wasn’t...
