Wow, you guys have some great non-food blog suggestions (check out the comments for the post below).  I've looked at most of them and some are really great, so thanks for sharing!   Is it 2:00 already?  It's like the work fairy has come to visit me! :)   Mid-morning snack (I was freakishly hungry [...]

Breakfast is BY FAR my favorite meal of the day.  Last night, I literally stared at the ceiling imagining this breakfast (not because I was hungry, just because I plan ahead). :) I made English Muffin French Toast. That's right, I dredged 1 and 1/2 English Muffins in egg batter and fried it up.  So [...]

I was never the star athlete in high school.  Didn't play any intramural sports in college.  I preferred more sedentary activities, like shopping and watching Dawson's Creek. In fact, I spent 21 years of my life sitting on my butt... so sometimes I just have to TRICK myself into a run.  :)  It's like reverse [...]

Computer viruses suck! I spent the entire morning wrestling with my computer.  Then, I gave up and called our IT Support Team and now my computer is being remotely hacked all the way from California and hopefully fixed.  In the meantime, my work is piling up.  Oh, Mondays.   While coaxing my computer back to [...]

Don't forget to check out Meghann's bake sale, which starts at 11 AM today! AND Happy Birthday to VeggieGirl. :)   In other news.... it is obviously Monday.  Ick.  I like my job and everything, but let's just say I like the weekends more.  In fact, I'm really, really good at weekends.  If weekending was [...]

I worked all afternoon on the holistic website and ending up skipping the gym.  Level 2 is a good enough workout for me, anyway! :)   Concentrating on work + a crap fruits and veggies selection in the fridge made for a very carb rich-afternoon.   I started off with a crushed granola bar + [...]

Good morning.  I'm trying to make the most of my Sunday before I have to start another icky work week!   I woke up at 7:30 AM to walk the dogs and then promptly feel back asleep on the couch.  I rose a few hours later to have a delicious and different breakfast. I heated [...]

OK - so newbies to my blog might think that I normally drink a LOT based on the last four days -- but I swear this is just a fluke!  I'm pretty much alcohol-ed out by this point. :)   Tonight was really fun though -- a group of us went to my favorite place [...]

Lisette and Danny are staying at a Disney hotel tonight, so we decided to check in with them and explore the pool area. :)   Isn't this view BEAUTIFUL? I live where people vacation.  It's true.   We've actually stayed at this hotel before, so we knew about the super-secret "adults only" pool that the [...]

Wow, last night's post was drogging in it's finest.  For those of you who don't know, I made up the word drogging and it means 'drunk blogging.'  :)    Regardless of my state last night, I was still the first one up. I made a big batch of pancakes and stuck the remainder in the [...]

I had a truly fun day!   First -- shopping. I bought four tops, new jeans, and a pair of shorts.  Mid-way through my shopping extravaganza, I had a Skinny Vanilla Latte. Look who I found at the mall!  Edward Cullen.... (SO SO SO wanted to buy a cardboard cutout of Edward). Love you!   [...]

I've had a productive morning so far!  After breakfast settled, I went to the gym to get some cross-training in.  I hamster-wheeled myself around on the elliptical for 30 minutes and burned approximately 150 calories.   After the elliptical, I did bicep curls with a 30 lb bar and some 30 Day Shred moves on [...]

I'm missing the Husband.  He is out of town on business again, so I decided to make some "missing my love" pancakes. I used Hodgson's Mills InstaBake Mix to make banana pancakes (cause it's always better when we're together... like the "Better Together" song says!). Leftover banana on the side.... And maple syrup for dipping. [...]
