Success!!

Dinner tonight was an absolute success despite my repeated attempts to ruin it.
Before I get to that though, let’s go back to yesterday.
My mid-morning snack was a banana.

Lunch was vegetarian black bean soup from Panera with half of a turkey sandwich.

Dessert was one of their irresistible brownies.  I even got a [...]

Lady in Red

Sorry for the hiatus!!  Life has been crazy around here!  We’ve been frantically searching for a new car and finally found one.

A 2008 Toyota Camry LE with less than 14,000 miles on it.  It’s the base model, but considering the age of the cars we have been driving (1990 and 1996) it feels [...]

Saying Goodbye

Last night was the going away party for Kim at Smokey Bones.  I don’t have any pictures, because Josh couldn’t find my memory card so he didn’t bring the camera (he swears he called to ask me, but I don’t have any missed calls… hmmmm) . 
I had 1.5 pieces of pretzel bread.

 
The dippers were [...]

Good News/Bad News

Hello!  First things first, you won’t see a lot of pictures of food in this post.  If you see any they will probably be recycled because I’ve just been eating the same old food plus plenty of junk that “mysteriously” evaded the camera’s eye.
THE GOOD NEWS
1) I lost one pound since last week and that [...]

On My Way Down!

Hey, hey there peeps! 
Yesterday was supposed to be the day I finally weighed myself for the first time since before Christmas.  Unfortunately, my scale had broken so I had to go buy a new one.
This afternoon after work I went to Target and bought the Taylor “Biggest Loser” CalMax scale.  I’m a little worried [...]

One of Those Days

Last night we had a big storm blow through.  It was actually loud enough to wake me up more than once and in fact I thought it felt like the house was shaking from the wind.  I knew there would be limbs on the ground in the morning since we have a lot of trees.
In [...]

Rewind

I’m gonna rewind time a little because I realized that in all the excitement, I didn’t post what I think were Friday’s snacks.
Behold…the Hummus To-Go!!  

This is another World Market find.  It doesn’t have to be refrigerated until after you open it.  But, It’s really just one serving so I doubt you’ll have to [...]

Going Mediterranean

Good afternoon!  First of all, thanks for all your comments about Muggle.  I did get an e-mail saying they were reviewing our application, but it will be next week before we’d even be able to meet him since we’re out of town until Monday.  Plus, the husband is DEFINITELY reluctant since we’d been talking about [...]

No Monday Blahs

I refuse to have the Monday blahs.  There’s a Christmas party tomorrow at lunch (at my “old” job…Wednesday is my last day) and we’re going to Christmastown later in the week.  Kim and Keenan are having an ugly Christmas sweater party on Saturday  and then the next two weeks are short weeks!!  Nothing to be [...]

Cookies Galore!!!

Good evening!!  I hope you had a great weekend!  I had a pretty quiet one.  Church, baking, and Christmas tree shopping.
Last night I tried a Trader Joes meal, Take-Out Thali.

In the box were three pouches that had the following in them:

Aloo Matar
Yellow Dal
Basmati Rice

You microwave them for about 2 minutes. 

I didn’t [...]
