Last night, I went to my friend Michelle's launch of Happy Hour with the Green Queen. What I learned last night... Bosom Buddies was only on for two seasons. I could of sworn in was on for more.

Snack: 1/2 Pear and handful of Almonds Din
Breakfast: Flax Granola with Blueberries and Coconut Milk This was OK. I'm still not sure if I like it or not. Lunch: Carrot Ginger Soup with Sunflower Seeds. Sauteed Broccoli drizzled with Orange Oil and lemon juice. The soup was bland. I think the next time I have it I'll need to spice it up a bit. The broccoli and salad were good. Snack: Apple (favorite meal o
On Sunday I did my "Plan" shopping.

Lyn-Genet Recitas author of The Plan says that greek yogurt, asparagus and many other "healthy foods" may be causing me to gain weight. My first thought, what? Second thought, that's why I'm not losing the weight even though I'm doing everything I've been told. Before I bought the book I did my homework. This First magazine article explains the plan in great detail. It's a good
Tonight I'm going to the Daily Grill for happy hour with a couple of my friends. I did a search for Daily Grill Weight Watcher points and couldn't find them anywhere. So I choose some of the happy hour menu items I would order and I figured out the points on my own. Daily Grill Happy Hour Weight Watcher Points Hummus - 2 Spinach Artichoke Dip - 5 Sweet Potato
On the 15th I went to a taping of the Bethenny show with my friends Mari, Stacey and Conner. The episode aired this past Wednesday. Then I went again last week on the 20th. This time I sat on the other side (right next to the bar :)) and I went with Mari, Taylor, and Jason. So close... and I couldn't even order a drink. :( Taylor won a Blackberry

I miss blogging. Life is just always getting in the way. I've been journaling in my journal, but it's just not the same. So I'm back. Tay is almost finished with tenth grade. She has finals next week. Then hello summer break. I couldn't be happier. No more getting up before the sun. Can I hear an AMEN? Last weekend I went to Las Vegas. My friend Michelle flew down from SF and
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:*A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.*If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it’s usually more interesting.*Women over 40 are dig

YAY! I was able to feed the fall decorating bug without spending a fortune. The ceramic pumkins I found at the Dollar Tree. $5 Styrofoam half ball $2.80 - Michaels Mini Pinecones $1.99 - Michaels I really like how it turned out. I didn't want to spend alot and I didn't want to over do it with more stuff. I had the urge to purge last year for a reason. I don't want to go

So I'm getting this bug to decorate for Halloween. I used to go all out years ago. I had storage boxes full of decorations. But last year I sold all my decorations at a garage sale. I hadn't used them for several years and I had that urge to purge. I have no plans to go out and start buying new decorations just for Halloween, however a few Fall decorations couldn't hurt. Here are so

This week started off on the right foot. Taylor and I went to church. Our first time in almost three months. I don't know why we've taken such a long break from going. I always feel so great after attending. Well I won't be taken long breaks anymore. Today Taylor and I had to drive downtown again for an audition for her. Lucky for us Taylor didn't have school today so we were able to go ear
