It’s Spaghetti Night!

A wonderful thing dawned on me today. There is a meal in my repertoire that both kids and Hubby and I like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spaghetti!!! Some days it seems like I’ll be making separate meals for all of us for the next 20 years :shock:. It’s gets frustrating. Then I remembered that […]

Do You Enjoy Reality Shows??

I do most of the time. Survivor and America’s Next Top Model are favorites of mine that I PVR every week. Really it seems they are on every topic imaginable. From people going through addiction treatment to those trying to lose weight we get a glimpse into their lives.
I guess it’s […]

Went Jogging Last Night!!

In order for me to lose 15 pounds by Dec 17th I need to exercise in addition to eating well. My friend Judy lost 10 pounds quite quickly - two or three weeks - by adding jogging to her eating well routine so… yes, you guessed it… she is encouraging me to jog too! […]

Inspired by Clothes? Me Too.

Okay, I had to give myself a little reminder of why I want to lose weight. I decided to start by browsing some online clothing stores for cute Fall fashions. It really does help to look at the thin models (not the sickly ones mind you) who carry the clothes so well. […]

I Want A Whopper!!!

I do love being a girl but I tell ya, these hormonal swings make dieting pretty tough some times! I still have to lose 15 pounds by December 17th and though the deadline is helpful, it’s still pretty darn tough saying No to a Whopper with cheese!
Nevertheless, I’ve been a good girl to myself […]

The Self Publishing Option

I’ve written a few eBooks in my day - I suspect I’ll write a few more too - but I’m always amazed when I meet someone who’s written a REAL book. It’s not easy folks that’s for sure and sometimes it can seem impossible to get a publisher to print your book.
For some aspiring authors, […]

Socks Are Fun!

Do you like to have fun when you dress? Maybe a cute little broach, seasonal earrings or some fun socks? Now I don’t mean crazy socks that have toes with faces on them LOL!. Just fun but practical too :).
I love little surprise accessories, and socks fit the bill perfectly. Something […]

Do You Get Manicures?

So many of my friends do and I feel like a fuddy-duddy but I don’t.  I just don’t want to pay the money.  I can think of so many other things to spend my $25 dollars on.  Like a movie and popcorn, pizza for dinner, a new pair of pants or a shirt… you get […]

From Garden to Play Area

I’ve decided to cope with the loss of my garden by focusing on what that area can be instead. Of course I’m thinking “play area” like most moms would be ;).
I can put some stones down and maybe this year we can make building a fort/playhouse a summer activity. …and, maybe there will […]

Good Bye Garden

Well folks, I do love to garden and I’d say that’s it’s strongly a part of who I am but… yesterday my garden got ripped out.
I don’t mean that I got it ready for winter.  I mean that Hubby ripped out the rabbit fence, that he spent hours putting up, and pulled out some weeds […]
