Tricks for Eating Treats

Posted in cooking, health, tagged , , , , , on September 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »

I’m a person who is deeply affected by words. So, I decided to use words to help me reach my healthy-eating goals.
First Goal: Eat refined sugar only once per week.
This may not sound difficult to a normal person, but for me, I’m a borderline sugar addict. I can happily eat a serving of triple [...]

So, I tried to make a Pumpkin Chai Smoothie today, and it was drinkable, but nothing that I’d dare inflict on another human being. :) A Google search for Pumpkin Chai Smoothie recipes turned up nothing that I wanted (I’m determined to use REAL, Pure, Canned Pumpkin in my smoothies, not Pumpkin Syrup and not [...]

It was near closing, and I was perusing the aisles in search of the items on my list. As I searched for bagged, baby spinach on the refrigerated aisle, a woman called out, “Excuse me….Excuse me”, moving closer to me as she spoke. I [...]

“oh the possibilities…”

My 4 brothers’ favorite soundtrack at the moment is Bridge to Terabithia. It has a really cute song (I think it runs during the end credits) that, in true Disney fashion, exhorts its listeners to “Live with your heart open….[to]all the possibilities”.

I, the least mechanically inclined person in my family (and possibly on the planet), just INSTALLED A WIRELESS CARD IN A PCI SLOT all by myself!!! :-D

When the stars converge…

Posted in Blessings, marriage, travel on September 6, 2007 | 1 Comment »

or rather, when 4 of my most favorite things converge–the Wunderhusband, hydrangeas, swing dancing, and stars–it makes for a downright awesome anniversary trip!
Happy THIRD anniversary of marriage to US! :)
 Eeep. Three years married. That makes me sound old.
After a whirlwind 2  days in AZ (where my beautiful cousin got married and my best friend celebrated [...]
