Lamest Dinner Yet

"Date night" with Meghann was a success, as always!  We met early at Target to find book #3 in the Twilight series.  It was there!  Hooorah! I now have a complete set (I'm finishing up book #2 now).    Then, we did a little shopping (or... I did!).  I saw a gorgeous dress in a [...]

Cold Hard Cash for Pounds

My mid-morning snack was Grape Nuts and milk. :) I don't think my oatmeal held me over as well as I would've liked. And I've been CRAVING veggies since my booze-filled bachelorette party this weekend, so I made yet another big side salad to go with my lunch-time sammie. Grilled cheese doesn't have to be [...]

Book Induced Insomnia

I read New Moon last night until MIDNIGHT, which let me tell you -- is way, way past my bedtime.  I'm paying for it this AM.  But, I simply CANNOT put the Twilight series down.  Meghann and I are switching our normal Thursday dates to Wednesday so we can go see the movie TONIGHT.  I'm [...]

December Challenge and Peanut Butter Noses

Good evening! I feel so much better now than I did earlier.  I hate to admit this -- but I had yet another wedding-related freak out around 3 PM.  I just put my head on my desk and cried.  In case you haven't noticed, I don't deal with stress very well.  It just overwhelms me! [...]

Bagel Sammie

Good afternoon! I hope the day is flying by for you, too!   When I was at Wal-Mart yesterday, I looked for NF plain yogurt, but (of course) could only find yucky flavored stuff.  I settled on this type of yogurt: I have a few problems with the nutritionals of this yogurt compared to my [...]

Pecan French Toast and Random Acts of Kindness

Morning, lovelies.  I woke up about 1/2 hour earlier than normal because I need to get crackin' on work ASAP.  I have a dress fitting at 5:30.  This is just one of the many, many wedding-related appointments I have over the next 3.5 weeks:   Dress Fitting - December 9 Florist - December 13 Dress [...]

A Sprint-y 5K

Good evening! Whew! I always feel so overwhelmed when I come back from a vacation -- getting into my normal routine is comforting, but there's always "clean up" work to do after letting stuff go for a few days.   Work was actually.... REALLY GREAT today! I know I don't discuss my job that much, [...]

Food Detox

I am SO happy to be eating normally again -- and not drinking! My body is craving nourishment and hydration!   I started the day with simple banana oatmeal.  Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal is great in a pinch, but I really enjoy the consistency of oatmeal more when it's made with milk + banana. My oatmeal [...]

Itinerary for the Bach

Good afternoon!   I had another wedding-related freak out around 9:30.  This was a major oversight on my behalf, but I completely overlooked ceremony decor.  Our site provides chairs and an arbor, but the arbor isn't exactly great on its own.... and we are a little overbudget already, so the last thing I want to [...]

UM.... I just got really excited because I realized there is actually 29 days left until the wedding, NOT 30!  It's like I just flew forward in time. Woo hooo!    In other news.... I should've mentioned in last night's post that the lovely Coach duffel was not, in fact, a Coach duffel.  I bought [...]
