I feel like I failed you.

I feel like I failed you.
As August draws to a close, I am suddenly realizing that my August challenge went to hell in a hand basket.  Whenever I have a challenge, and I have people participating with me, you might not see it on the blog, but I personally email the participants every few days to see how they are doing, if they need some cheerleading or just high fives because...

Summer Quiche

Summer Quiche
I had to laugh at some of the comments yesterday to Tony’s Q&A!  Yes, I think we all agree that he will always be Tony on the blog! And to clarify about Tony’s not eating leftovers as a child.  His Mom is a very good cook and Tony tells me that a lot of times they didn’t have leftovers was because they ate everything she...

And Tony’s real name is . . .?

And Tony’s real name is . . .?
I have a new friend!  You know what his name is?  PREDNISONE!   Tony and I went to the doctor last night.  Basically my doctor said that 10% of people who have bronchitis go on to develop a sort of infection – loose particles that he described as “leaves” were annoying my bronchial tubes which would then make me cough. So now I am taking prednisone,...

Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
You know how hard it is to get through to a doctors office on a Monday morning?  My cough is as annoying as ever, in fact, I think its even worse – well, at least that’s what my co-workers told me. I tried calling from 9:00 a.m. on and didn’t get through until 10:30.  By then, the next available appointment wasn’t until 6:00 p.m. today,...

PB Banana Bread with PB Glaze

PB Banana Bread with PB Glaze
My post was so quick on Saturday morning that I didn’t have a chance to tell you that I had Party Pizza Friday!  This time I picked up a $5 pizza at our local grocery store, I tricked my side out with leftover roasted jalapenos from my salsa making last week, and diced green peppers.  Tony had sauteed mushrooms on his side, and I may...

Happy Saturday!

Happy Saturday!
Because I got about two dozen emails and facebook messges when I posted late yesterday – I have to give a shout out to Tony – I usually blog before work.  I finished my blog – I use Windows LiveWriter – if you don’t use this you should check it out because I can literally get my posts up in about 20 minutes. Anyway, yesterday...

First Day of School!

First Day of School!
Today is Hannah’s first day at her new University.  She could not be more excited.  Her books were ordered weeks ago, her school supplies at the ready.  I am so happy that she’ll be at a school where kids actually like to learn. Community college is kind of like what we called it when I was younger – high school with cigarettes.  Most of the...

You Buy, I’ll Fly

You Buy, I’ll Fly
Wowza.  Who knew yesterday’s post about KERF was going to be such a touchy subject!  I am still happy I wrote it.  While some thought I was bashing KERF, when anyone puts themselves out there in blogland, you have to take the good with the bad. In the nearly four years I’ve had my blog, I’ve gotten emails that I am fat and diabetic because...

KERF Fan or Not?

KERF Fan or Not?
It was 57 degrees when I woke up yesterday.  Glorious!  Sorry Suzie, but I love this cooler weather.  I am just pissed that this cough is preventing me from doing anything active.  I’d say I am about 75% back to normal.  Just sometimes out of nowhere I’ll start coughing my head off.  I made a breakfast hash yesterday for breakfast.  4 ounces of baked potato,...

Creamy Chicken Rice Soup

Creamy Chicken Rice Soup
I was able to get another round of cough syrup and z-pak – hopefully this second round will knock out this cough.  The worst part is that I feel fine, I just have this nagging cough.  I am worried too about the 5k I signed up for – luckily its still three weeks away! Over the weekend at the farmers market I bought a small...
