Right now it is so cold here. I know it isn't as bad as what most of the country is going through but it is THAT bad for me. Tonight will be the third night in a row with the temps at 20 or the high teens. Brrrrrr. This cold weather really makes me want to eat hot and delicious soups. I got an email from a healthy eating group with links to allrecipe for these different types of soups. It is like

Wow. I have been in a funk. It is very cold and I can't stand it. This tells me that I should never move North. I don't think I would function very well. I missed posting yesterday because of the worst headache I have had in years. I rarely have one but this was a throbber that moved around but was mostly in the back of my head. So dear friends I thought I would post another recipe to at

I found these recipes on Bon Appetit. I Love chocolate and I thought these would be great for Valentine. However, I didn't notice until after I copied all the yummy goodness to my post that it takes you three weeks to make your Chocolate Liqueur. It sounds so good. There is a drink below that uses the liqueur. I really like that you are given descriptions of the different liqueurs and also

On our way home we decided to stop at Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls and Rock City. Apparently it is all together. We only went in the gift shop of Ruby Falls because daughter wanted to look at the rocks. Rock City was not what I was expecting. It is at the top of the mountain and you go through all these cracks and crevices and caves to different areas. There are waterfalls and bridges and

Friday I took off work to go to Tennessee. My grandson's father and family live there. My BFF also lives there. We left around 11 am and arrived after 5 their time. With 8K square feet and two stair cases my grandson was on the go and making me a nervous wreck. Finally we closed him off in the dining room, kitchen and breakfast room. They have a baby grand in the dining room so I introduced him

Since I really can't think of anything I want to blog about I thought I would post a few more pics from my trip last year to Florida. No...I can't stop thinking about it. I want to go there. Now...and not come back. This dreary weather bums me out. I know I shouldn't complain when so many others are iced and snowed in and have temps below zero. My high of 63 is quite balmy......

Since things have been a little on the boring side lately I thought I might get some help in the office to liven things up a bit. So this handsome young man decided to come to work for me.He had no problems at all handling the fax machine. He even flirted with me while making a call. He laughed at my corny jokes.Since we were working late he decided to take a shower. The next morning he didn't

This weekend my grandsons great grandfather was buried. He was 83. Since he had served in the military and was in several wars he had the 21 Gun Salute which is now 5 men and three shots fired. They also played Taps. It was so eerie because he was off at a distance and you couldn't see him. It brought tears to my eyes.While there I noticed all the old headstones and their lovely patina's of age.

I love hot chocolate in the winter time. I looked all over the internet for a recipes for hot chocolate mix. Every one I found had powdered coffee creamer in it. I suppose that may make it creamy but I don't like the stuff. I found this recipe on Nestle's web site. Ingredients:6 cups NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Instant Nonfat Dry Milk1 1/2 cups granulated sugar1 cup plus 2 tablespoons NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE®

I had many more after I got a divorce and before I met my current husband.

I am so not keeping up with current news lately. I just found out that Andrew Wyeth passed away on January 16th, 2009. He is best known for his painting Christina's World. Christina was a neighbor that was paralyzed from the waist down. In this painting she looks very young but she was actually 55 when he painted it. In 1986 240 paintings in a series called "The Helga Series" were bought by a

Kids are so funny. This morning when the older two were getting ready for school I noticed they were both in the bathroom and were in there for a long time. Last time this happened she had half a bottle of detangler in her hair and was very greasy.As I neared the door I could smell hubby's cologne. Uh oh. What are you two doing? Suddenly toothbrushes and hair brushes were being utilized. I

The kids around here were all on crack last night. Not actually crack but the kid version of crack .... sugar. I don't know how your children react to sugar but these punks seem to have no tolerance for it. And I don't have much tolerance for them on it. Big Girl took all three last night to eat at Texas Steak House with her flavor of the week fella. The older two received coupons for free

I have got to pull myself out of my funk. I know it is the season and people have a let down after Christmas but that is not it. I have quite a few reasons to be in this deep pit of despair. For now I will try to think about the good things, reasons to be thankful. I know that so many other people in this world have a very hard life and a many more reasons to be depressed than I do.

Last Thursday I started getting sick. At first my throat started burning. As the day went on my head started hurting. By the afternoon my eyes were watering and my head was spinning. I was so dizzy it was very hard to sit at my desk. I am slowly getting better. I did find a 12 hour decongestant that allowed me to breath better. Thursday night I got very little sleep because I couldn't

For many of us purchasing food items got to where it contained more convenience foods that it should have. Due to busy schedules, activities and not having enough time I would purchase rotisserie chickens at Wal-Mart. They were very convenient. I would use them in my salads, soups or just as the main meat course. Recently, these chickens have gotten so small that they look like a large Cornish

Today didn't start out too bad. I actually slept a normal nights sleep. That was awesome. I rarely get enough sleep. The kids were getting ready for school while I was sitting at my computer. I kept hearing spzzt, spzzt, spzzt. It took a little while before that sunk into my consciousness. Someone was spraying something. I went into the bathroom and granddaughter was spraying detangler in her

Oh right. Monday. Blah... I did not want to work today. Right before going to bed last night I decided to check my computer to see if I had any awesome emails other than the normal "extend your penis" "become rock hard" or "someone has sent you a $1000 gift card". As if. I heard chewy, grandson #2's current nickname. I listened to him for quite a while until #1 got woke up and went to the

Everyone had a great time at the party. I survived. Mostly because Chewbaca decided to stay home and take a nap. The theme was Pirates of the Carribbean. Big Girl ordered cup cakes instead of cake which meant serving was so much easier and the kids liked it better.Granddaughter wants to be a spy or detective.

It is the one day when they come here... isn't that from a song? I can tell you that I was so tired yesterday that when I slept last night I flipped over on my back, not a good thing for someone with sleep apnea, and that I didn't move at all. None. So when I woke up I was stoved up. My back was screaming and my neck had pain shooting up through it. Oh for a pain pill to get you through that

This salad is delicious. I don't know the exact fat or carb content because I changed the recipe. It originally had 9 fat grams, 2 saturated and 33 carbs. I have removed eggs, mushrooms and peppers and added zucchini and capers. I don't use the bacon. I love the sweet and tartness of this salad. I hijacked this photo from Betty, you know, Mrs Crocker. I forgot to take my own photo and that won't

I thought I should make some New Year resolutions. Hopefully by putting them in writing for the whole world to see I will be more determined to actually fulfill them. 1. Sleep more, stress less. Sometimes I wake up after only 2-4 hours of sleep and I get up for a few hours. If I have slept 4 hours I may not go back to bed at all. This is not good. I am going to try not to stress over the

Frugal Friday is new for me. I often run across money saving tips or create my own and I thought I would share some of them with you. Today I want to talk about a product that I really like. It is Oil of Olay Daily Facials. I especially like the night cleansing one. When you use this product your face feels so smooth and clean. I highly recommend it over other brands and other types that Oil of

BLOWN..... I was so good earlier eating my celery and laughing cow cheese. I love these two together. The colder weather makes me want to eat. I know...it isn't THAT cold here but colder than what it has been lately. We have had weather in the 70's lately. It got in the 30's last night. I can hear you all crying for me as you try to shovel out of a foot of snow and struggle with below zero

Happy New Year 2009I don't know if greens and black eyed peas and pork are just a southern thing or not. Hubby cooked a pork loin, opened cans of collard greens and black eyed peas. Everything was fine except for the peas. I don't like most beans or peas in a can because they are too dry. The greens were something I had purchased a while back. They were seasoned perfectly and even had a smoky

Last night I was sitting in my chair thinking about subjects to write about in my post. I do this all the time but don't make it to the computer and type it out. I am one of those people that will suddenly think "Why was I thinking about that?" Then I will backtrack to figure it out. Does that make me certifiable? The GM for the company I do work for was traveling yesterday and stopped for

Well I have been totally doing nothing productive for the last couple of days. Watching cooking shows, decorating shows and silly Christmas movies and sad ones too. Yep....I love my tivo. It is awesome. Since I don't sleep much I get up early and can watch shows all by myself drinking coffee that I didn't have time to watch when it originally came on. Rachel Ray taught me to put ginger in the

I hope everyone survived. I was doubtful I would... I took a few photos although there were a large amount that weren't quite in focus. Probably due to my spirits of the alcohol kind. We tried to make things special but it is hard when you are so busy, haven't completely unpacked everything and don't know where most things are. Granddaughter has never had a traditional Christmas with a tree. Her

I miss living near the beach. I used to live near Gulf Shores, Al. I love smelling the salt air and the smell of the different plants that grow on the beach. This painting is from a photograph I took of my daughters the first time they went to the beach. We lived in this huge two story house in Loxley, Al. The thing I liked about living there the most was the produce market two blocks from my

My Baby Girl is coming home. We talked this morning and she is on her way to Ramstein to wait for a flight. Sugar baby the pooch is on her way and is flying commercial and will be in Atlanta tomorrow afternoon. You can't fly your dog military unless you are leaving permanently. Hopefully her and granddaughter will be arriving tomorrow night. But even bigger news.... Baby Girl went for an

Lots of people seem to have certain days dedicated to something specific on their blogs. I am not there yet. So I decided to have a Random Monday. After all we are just getting over our weekends right? To say it has been an interesting morning is putting it mildly. All kinds of little goings on. I started out my diet this morning by drinking delicious tea. Then as usual things get weird

About my blog...... I plan on having different pages for different things. One of them being my adventures in dieting and eating right and maybe some delicious low cal, low cholesterol and low fat recipes. I know... that is hard to do... give me some bacon. Yum. I will also add other things such as articles on interesting people I know, have met or just know from the Internet, myspace and blogs.

I was scolded by baby girl last night. Mom....why haven't you posted anything lately? The truth is I have been unsuccessfully trying to move my blog to my dot com. I tried it once before without success and now I have tried again, without success. I had someone helping but the first attempt left my dot com linked to google. Sooooo I am waiting on the help desk of my host. Yep... tard for sure.So

Starting tomorrow I will try to start eating healthier than I have been over the last few months. Stress has caused a lot of emotional eating. This usually involves whatever unhealthy snack is around for the kids. I normally eat very healthy. I love veggies, salmon and other good for you food. I guess I will have to venture out into the yukky outdoors in search for my favorite petite or baby

I had a very relaxing day yesterday. Big Baby Girl ordered a fried turkey. I would rather have had a smoked one but she ordered it. When my hubby got home with it I was shocked at how small it seemed. Oh well. But for the cost of that turkey I thought we could have had great steaks. It isn't like I am this big fan of turkey. It really isn't my thing.I got up and made two pans of cornbread for my

I was browsing around and found this site. It intrigued me because I used to live in SpringHill Florida. I LOVE the Bravo channel and couldn't get it until I moved a month ago. These are my favorite shows. I LOVE Jeff Lewis and Christian Siriano. Christian is SO cute. I also enjoy watching the Housewives of Orange County and Atlanta. Anyway... I found this card that Natalie created on her blog...

I have read several blogs with people making fun (I hope) of their family that is coming to visit. I have seen some that basically attacks their mothers. I know that it is probably just to make for entertaining reading. I find it amusing but at the same time it makes me uncomfortable. I lost my mother in 1992. A few days ago was the 16th anniversary of her death. It was very hard on all of us to

What a day. It started early as usual. I woke up at 4ish. Daughter #1 wasn't home from work yet so I couldn't go back to sleep. That poor girl had 4 hours sleep in 2 days. I kept thinking I would get a nap. Good thing I didn't try because DH would have woken me up and then I would have been angry. He kept calling for directions.I did get caught up on last season of the Real Housewives of Orange

How ironic..... I write the post about BFF's and this morning I get the word......Mrs B is going to Iraq. Her DH told her this morning. That means very soon she will go to Houston for two weeks and then zip off to Iraq. I am going to absolutely hate it. HATE IT. We have already started discussing what she needs to take. Of course she will ship it to DH and it will be there when she gets there.

Best Friends......How can anyone live without them. If I didn't have my "sista's" to talk to I would not have made it this far...... I have several BFF's. I have known Mrs B for 10 years. We have gone years without seeing each other, but we rarely go a week without talking to each other. As a matter of fact we rarely go a day without talking. Her DH is in Iraq working for a company.

It has been pure survival mode all the way...So today was the day. I got up and had my usual couple of cups of coffee loaded with my fav hazelnut creamer and my teaspoon of raw sugar. I had two poached eggs, turkey bacon and one slice of whole

There have been recent studies that found sleep deprivation can cause a multitude or symptoms. The most recent and very interesting one I saw showed a young test subject was constantly aroused from deep sleep but not actually woken up. After a short period of time he started showing symptoms of diabetes. Sleep deprivation can be very catastrophic to your health if it continues for a long period

Sleep Apnea can be very detrimental to your health. I was diagnosed with it 6 years ago. I believe that many people have it and are not aware. I am sure everyone knows someone that snores so loud that it rattles the windows. I don't know that everyone that snores has sleep apnea but in my case it was true.I had sleep apnea for probably 10+ years before I was diagnosed with it. I had always had

I can tell you what to do but obviously have not managed to maintain it for myself in a consistent manner. I do well and then I backslide. I understand the difficulties that are involved.
