He Made It To The Lake!

He Made It To The Lake!
My uncle passed away yesterday.  He’s been sick for nearly a year, but it was still hard to hear.  He’s actually my Aunt’s third husband, but they have been together for probably 27 years.  And he’s the only Great Uncle that Hannah remembers. They have a lake house at Smith Mountain Lake in Roanoke, Virginia.  Their main home is in Richmond, so the other day my...

No Sushi for You!

No Sushi for You!
I had planned on yesterday being a rest day, especially after running two days in a row.  I guess if I was more consistent in running my hips and knees would get used to it.  I ended up doing my 30 minute stretch before work – I feel so good when I am finished stretching – which means I never stretched nearly enough before. Are...

Breakfast Muffins and Spaghetti Con Crema Di Peperone

Breakfast Muffins and Spaghetti Con Crema Di Peperone
I think yesterday was my perfect temperature day – it was 64 degrees when I woke up, it didn’t get hotter than 73 degrees.  Last night we had a cool breeze coming through the window requiring just a light blanket.  Now if I can only find a place that stays like that I’d be a happy camper! Right now it’s 51 degrees – by Thursday...

I took a nap!

I took a nap!
Tony and I had a great weekend – Monday mornings seem to come too soon, I could really use another day off. Most of this post will be in pictures – Tony made me a delicious breakfast on Saturday, I ate everything but the bagel because it had started to turn moldy – while it didn’t have any mold on it, it tasted moldy –...

I wish I could grill every day at lunch.

I wish I could grill every day at lunch.
Our temperatures have been stunning the last couple days.  The heat is gone and its been replaced by 80 degree days and temps in the high 50’s at night – perfect sleeping weather. Friday’s I grill at my office – my store had carne asada on sale for $2.99 a pound.  Usually its already marinated, but this time it wasn’t.  I googled some marinating recipes...

So Many Scrabble Players!

So Many Scrabble Players!
Thanks to everyone who offered to play Words with Friends!  Right now I have games going on with blog reader Carol and Debbi (check out her baked salsa rice with green chiles, lime and cilantro – yum!).  However, they found me and I have no idea how to “find” you when you gave me your player name – so can you help me figure that...

So Many Apps and Food T.V.!

So Many Apps and Food T.V.!
I have to give Tony props.  He knows I eat, breathe and live food.  When we first got together and I was meal planning, I’d ask “how about pork chops on Thursday?”  He was like “how the hell do I know if I want pork chops on Thursday?!” In the 12 years we’ve been together, I am pretty sure Tony has watched way too many...

My husband knows how to get in my pants.

My husband knows how to get in my pants.
My husband knows me SO well.  When I got home from work last night I was just about to go downstairs to get my comfy clothes on, when he yelled “I got you a couple treats – they are in the fridge!”  It’s okay that he tells the dog the same thing. Yep – alcohol and cheese!  Pretty sure I got undressed when I saw...

Zucchini, Ham, Potato & Cheese Quiche

Zucchini, Ham, Potato & Cheese Quiche
Just as I was fired up to get to the gym, or do any kind of workout, life got in the way yesterday.  If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.  But I love all my workout buddies who offered to help me this week – you guys rock! Had I made my quiche on Sunday, I wouldn’t have had to get up early...
