Now We’re Talkin!

  • Baby Fever

    I have baby fever!! I’m 48, so that ship has sailed… but I swear, I miss having a baby in the house SO bad sometimes. I’d probably change my mind after 72 hours, but Gosh I look forward to being… Continue reading

  • Winding Down :)

    I made the best Chicken Salad tonight. I took some over to our new neighbors because we heard they were all sick. I wanted to make them soup, but it was last minute and I was already making chicken salad… Continue reading

  • Nobody Told Me!

    My roots are SO white. I had to crop my photo today to use it for a profile picture. I had no idea my hair was that white on top!! I have a medium ash blonde and a dark blonde… Continue reading

    Nobody Told Me!
  • Whew!

    This week is already flying by. All day I thought it was Tuesday and it’s Wednesday. We took a drive out to North Pace to pick up some mulch for the yard today. We stopped by the bay and had… Continue reading

    Whew!
  • Protein Machine!!

    I’ve lost 41 lbs. I had a goal to do it by July and it’s not even June. I am so proud of myself. I’ve gotten the protein thing down pat and I’m staying in a calorie deficit with ease… Continue reading

  • Hey Hey!!

    Just popping in to say hello 🙂 We are being bums today and I’m not mad about it!! We went to Lowe’s this morning and then we ended up back in bed watching TV for a few hours. Gary fell… Continue reading

    Hey Hey!!
  • My babies.

    Well they aren’t babies anymore, but I sure love them. Gage will be 13 next week, and Norah Harper is attending her fifth grade graduation dance tonight. Hard to believe that we’re here already! Norah couldn’t stop giggling so I… Continue reading

    My babies.
  • It’s Friday!

    I’m a busy lady today! I had one last quick visit to the dentist this morning and now I’m done. My appointment was 7am so the kids got themselves on the bus, with my neighbor on stand by. They did… Continue reading

    It’s Friday!
  • Lesser Evil Popcorn

    Can’t say enough good things about it!! I’m trading in my Skinny Girl Popcorn. It has a faint hint of coconut from the coconut oil, but it’s salty and buttery and delicious. And 80 calories a bag. Continue reading

  • Panera Lunch Order & Restocking our Kitchen

    I love cheese so much, but it is one of those foods that is pretty calorie dense, so I don’t get to enjoy it as much as I used to. Panera has given me a way to indulge! I got… Continue reading

  • Round 2.

    Back at the dentist this morning. I’m the only one here out here waiting, so that’s a good thing. I did the one thing that I swore I’d never do- I wore sandals to the dentist. First of all it’s… Continue reading

    Round 2.
  • Impressions

    Getting a major smile overhaul. This is the most miserable part of it, but it’ll be worth it. We had to do 4 impressions. My lips were so cracked and sore when we were done. She had to use a… Continue reading

  • I won! 🤗

    They had a drawing for a pair of Ray-Ban’s at my eye doctor’s office and I won them! They were a little large for me, so I gave them to my handsome husband. Plus they’re gun-metal which I think is… Continue reading

    I won! 🤗
  • Dreary Day

    It was a pretty dark and dreary morning and then I opened my email and saw that I had received a letter from the little girl that we sponsor in Ethiopia. Obviously it’s from her mother because she’s only 2… Continue reading

  • New Week :)

    I love Mondays. It’s a new fresh start. I woke up at 3:45 this morning and couldn’t go back to bed, so I see a nap in my future for sure. I had a great day yesterday. Alan called me… Continue reading

    New Week :)
  • Happy Mothers Day!!

    Wishing all you ladies a wonderful day! I think this is the first year that I didn’t wake up and feel terribly sad. I feel happy. I feel loved, and I feel content. I’ll always miss my mother terribly, but… Continue reading

  • Hantavirus

    It sure feels like they are setting this up to be another pandemic. I really hope we all learned a lot from last time. Our first red flag is that it’s always election year. The second is that given the… Continue reading

  • Birthday & Mothers Day

    What a wonderful day! The kids got me this beautiful necklace, and flowers for Mothers Day, and ironically, my birthday present from Gary arrived today. One thing is for certain. I won’t need to buy another handbag for years. Love… Continue reading

  • TGIF :)

    Good morning! I finally got the kids off to school. Gage’s bus ran late today. That turned out to be a good thing though, because my neighbor called me to see if my bus app was working, and we’ve decided… Continue reading
