A couple of weeks ago I was out doing NSDLP (non-sexual domestic life partner) thangs with my former-NSDLP when she very eloquently stated the very thing I was afraid to admit I was thinking. "Th...
Shout out to Danielle for turning me on to "skinny crock pot" on facebook. Im more than a bit handicapped in the kitchen, so recipes involving my beloved crock pot are appreciated!!If you fol...
Hang onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen. Im about to share a secret with you - and Im certain it will be a shocker. I reward myself with food. There. I said it...or wrote it...you get the idea.If I...
I realize this wont be news to you guys - but I hadnt written consistently, for months. I am truly feeling invigorated, and ready to start spilling again.Last weekend was great for many reasons. I we...
Holy crap, have I missed you guys!! I think about things to write about constantly, but just cant seem to get myself geared up to go through the work of logging onto my computer and actually composin...
I had a couple of requests for the Taco Soup recipe I mentioned on my Facebook wall last week, so I wanted to share it with you guys! I believe it is originally a Weight Watchers recipe. It is a litt...
No. Im not talking about how the classic reference to how often men think about sex. It isnt nearly as much fun as that. What Im talking about is the frequency with which it seems I think about food....
Im guessing it will come as no surprise to you that Ive been less-than-on-my-game, lately. The biggest hint may be my complete absence from writing this blog. Its not that I dont think of topics, or ...
Ive shared a couple of times on my blog that I am absolutely in love with the Biggest Loser Baked Ziti. It is easy enough for me to make, but tasty enough to make me feel like Im having a treat. It m...
There are times (the last month in particular) when I host a mini pity-party for myself. While I do believe that all things are relative (example: a thin woman can feel the need to lose weight when s...
Well...did you guys miss me!??!?I didnt really realize how much time had gone by since my last post, until I looked at the date on it. Oops. Been missing since October 10th. I wish I could tell you t...
As many of you know, I have given my notice of cancellation at LTF. I just cant justify the cost of their monthly membership, when I dont currently use the services (group fitness & the pool) tha...
I am still struggling to make the time to get on here and blog! I apologize that theyre so spread out. I think about things I want to share, constantly - but Im just not making the time to get on the...
Today was the day. I was in charge of watching my two nieces (ages 6 & 4) and my nephew (8 months) at the same time. All 3 of them. At once. I was terrified! The two older ones - no problem at al...
Since I am in the midst of a segment of my life where I am the least of an authority on how to succeed, I figured I should share the results of some research I have performed that may help you avoid ...
Holy balls you guys! I have missed you! Ive planned to get back to blogging about a million times, and then I always get sidetracked! My apologies for my extended absence, but Ive had a couple of thi...
Any good Minnesota resident knows - if the roads arent covered with snow and ice, then half of them are being ripped up and repaired in some manner! It seems I cant get anywhere these days without me...
This weekend I was reminded of why it is that I dont drink very often anymore. Hangover. Major hangover. But at least I did the work to earn it. I had my sisters sister-in-laws (did you follow that?)...
I found myself having one hell of a pity party for myself on Thursday. There was no legitimate reason for it, but it was happening. There were lots of tiny things I could blame it on - but the truth ...
Get your minds out of the gutter people! When I say "checking myself out" I meant I googled myself. Wait...that still sounds kind of dirty. But you know what I mean. I have been on the job-hu...
I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. I had less than 15 miles to go to actually meet my June goal for our current mission. I went to happy hour and dinner with a b...
make that tacos, and thats been meThis week Ive learned that a good positive attitude, and being really optimistic, only takes you so far - and only lasts for so long. Being fully immersed in the job...
I cannot seem to shut my "validation" switch off. Im not sure if anyone else out there has this particular issue. It is that internal voice that tells you that if you do something good - no m...
I woke up Monday morning to a troubling realization. Because I had chosen to use my time rather foolishly over the last week, I was now going to have to basically move into my gym for the next two da...
The last few days have been tough for me. I have been working to get some things done around the house - and allowed that (plus this stupid lower-back ache that has just finally gone away) to become ...
For the last two days my lower back had been bugging me. I am assuming I am blaming the fact that Ive been sleeping on my stomach - since lately Ive been waking up laying on my face in a pile of my o...
**Note: I just found out this weekend that some people are having an issue posting comments to my blog. I have NO idea what is causing that - and I am so sorry!! If you have a comment that wont post,...
This week has been crazy! First it started out with crazy hot temps (103 degrees on Tuesday), now it is like 60 degrees on Thursday evening. But, this is Minnesota - what else would we have to do if ...
I received a couple of really exciting notes yesterday. Not only did I get to see what the book is going to look like, I also got to read a couple of reviews. It finally all seems real! And I dont kn...
The last 15 months have been a festival of challenges - all self-created - but challenges none-the-less. I had some things to sort out in this life of mine. I found myself unemployed, in debt and unm...
