Totally Random Nonsense

February 27, 2013

It is with regret that I announce that I shot my wad on the SLIMpossible diet today. While at the hospital for most of the day, I found myself with about six minutes to scarf down some “lunch”. I made a quick trip to the hospital snack bar and settled on a bag of Doritos [...]

Mission SLIMpossible Update

February 13, 2013

So, we just rounded the corner into week five (of eight) and I am so happy to report I am down nine pounds. NINE! As in, almost ten! I am so stinkin’ happy about that because, well, NINE POUNDS IN FOUR WEEKS AND TWO DAYS. The nine pound loss makes all the 45-minute exercise sessions worth it. The [...]

What I Learned This Week

February 11, 2013

I had a glorious day. And by glorious, I mean there was no school today which means NO STUPID ALARM CLOCK FOR ME thankyouverymuch! And since there was no school, that also means I didn’t have to check any math homework. But, just in case you were wondering, Stevie did receive the requirements for yet another [...]

Just Some More Of My Crazy

February 6, 2013

It is Tuesday evening and I am watching Dance Moms. It is that time of the month and I would knock a joker flat-out right now for a chocolate cake donut connection donut. Folks, 39-year-old hormones do not play. Especially when they’ve been on a  five-week biggest loser quest. Phew. It feels good to get that off of my [...]

Pep In My Step

January 29, 2013

It was a beautiful day in our neighborhood. The good news is, it was a wonderful, beautiful, perfect for January 70 degrees. The bad news is, this… As much as I love have the JEEP in the garage on cold January mornings, I miss having the SKY here at the house for rare 70 degree days in [...]

The Shoes That Bind

January 21, 2013

Do you have shoes in your closet that you haven’t worn for years, but refuse to get rid of? If so, you will absolutely love this story. McDaddy participated in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament at our church this weekend. The teams were formed by drawing names from a hat. McDaddy was on a team with our friend Shawn, and [...]

A Heavy Topic

January 14, 2013

Ok. *taking a breath* When I made the decision to compete in the local Biggest Loser Challenge, I hesitated about mentioning it here on the blog. First, there was the possibility that I might not lose any weight at all, which would make me a whole nother level of LA-OOSER. Secondly, this woman hates to talk about their weight. [...]

A Sweet Holiday Treat

December 5, 2012

December is my favorite month. It is also my birthday month. And, as of ten years ago, it is also Stevie’s birth month. And if that’s not enough excitement, it is also the month that finds me busier than a racoon in a trash-pile. During the Christmas holiday, our neighbors show their love by showing up on [...]

What I Learned This Week

July 2, 2012

What I learned this week…. 1. After five years of wanting one REALLY REALLY BADLY, I still have to remind myself that I am the owner of a Saturn Sky. 2. Sometimes, home sweet home isn’t so sweet. 3. Ninety-Nine has some killer balsamic chicken. 4. A hotel water park is pretty awesome. 5. When [...]
