Back to Reality

Back to Reality
It was nice having Thursday and Friday off from my day job.  I slept in, we didn’t have to be anywhere in particular except for dinner with my daughter in law Thursday night.  It was just the rest and relaxation I needed.  But, this week is back to reality.  I work Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week at the restaurant.  On Saturday night, I thought...

Not my Night

Not my Night
After my lazy day on Thursday, I knew I had to get my ass in gear yesterday.  I had a granola bar earlier in the morning and that was all the fuel I needed to do T-25.  I LVOVE T-25.  Even though it’s non-stop, before you know it you look down at the count down and you are already half way done.  Yesterday I did...

Lazy Was I!

Lazy Was I!
Tony slept in a little later than me yesterday, so I did one productive thing!  I finally deleted all the old pictures I don’t need to keep anymore.  It was getting way out of hand.  Check out how many photos I deleted since June of last year! 7,773 photos!  Gah.   And what’s funny is that most of them were blurry food photos – ha! Tony...

Copycat Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars

Copycat Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars
The way our house is situated, we still have ice and snow on our back deck and I am kind of sick of looking at it.  It’s dirty, there are leaves from last fall intermingled in between the ice.  But when we have temps in the teens, I don’t see that going anywhere anytime soon.  Um, this doesn’t feel like spring! I made another Green...

I’d really like you to be. . .

I’d really like you to be. . .
One thing I failed to mention about my quarterly diabetes doctor appointment, was that each and every visit, he looks over my digital chart and at some point or another says “I’d really like to see you in the 130 – 135 pound range for your height.”  He said “you seem to be hovering between the high 150s and mid 160s these past several years...

Cabot Cheese!

Cabot Cheese!
Last Thursday when I was working at the restaurant, Tony texted me a picture and said “there’s a big package here for you.”  At first I thought he was going to send me a picture of him in his under wear, but when I looked at the picture it was from Cabot Cheese! I’ve nearly used all of this cheese already – didn’t have enough...

Monday again?

Monday again?
Since working at the restaurant, my weekends seem to go by in the blink of an eye.  On the way to work on Saturday, I decided to stop off at Starbuck’s for a pick my up to get me through the night.  Heather, I am still using the gift card you sent me!  I got something completely different that I never had before: I got...

20,391 Steps?

20,391 Steps?
I never carry my good camera when I work at night.  It’s just one thing I don’t need to worry about, so all these pics come to you from my iPhone 4. These strawberries Tony got me from Sam’s Club are ridiculously good – a 2 pound container for $4.98, which isn’t bad this time of year.  On the side I had an egg white,...

I figured it out all by myself!

I figured it out all by myself!
I am not very tech savvy.  One of the things I miss most about our kids not being around is having them show me how to do things!  I’ll never forget when I first got my iPhone.  I couldn’t even figure out how to dial the phone to make a phone call.  I handed it to Hannah and she down loaded all these apps and...

Google Knew It Was My Birthday

Google Knew It Was My Birthday
THANK YOU!  For all the warm birthday wishes yesterday.  I was with you guys. Tony emailed me his blog post and I got all teary eyed reading it at my desk.  The best part?  He tells me he loves me every.single.day.  Not a day goes by where he doesn’t tell me I am beautiful just the way I am, and that he couldn’t imagine his...
