My husband hates my hair. Not my hair, really, but the new style. And he let slip this morning that he hates it when I was telling him that 2 of the women I work with got my stylist’s name and number from me because they love how my hair turned out. He said, and [...]

…I cut the burrito in two?
Yesterday after mom’s chemo, I went to a little Mexican fast food place in the town where I live. I’ve never been there, so I figured I would just order whatever and go. So, I ordered a “Colorado burrito” and WOW if that wasn’t the best burrito I’ve eaten in my [...]
Birthday Girl

Today is my birthday, and since the age of, oh, say twelve, I haven’t really been very excited about getting older. And believe me, today I feel old! (I don’t look old, though, so that’s a bonus)
Yesterday, my mom completed her last chemo treatment, so that is probably about the best gift I could ask for [...]

1. I MUST track/journal food for holidays because if I don’t, I fall right off the wagon.
2. I can’t keep leftover pie in my home, in hopes a family member will eat it before I will — because I’m way faster than they are.
3. One day off program is enough to send me into an [...]
Battle of the Bulge(s)
Posted in Weight Watchers Journey on November 26, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I have come to the conclusion that I have dangerous, nearly-critical food issues. If something is delicious or even LOOKS delicious and it’s in my proximity, I want to eat it. And to my own detriment, sometimes I do… in grand excess. It’s like a constant battle of my tastebuds versus my brain, and here lately, my brain all too frequently loses [...]
Thanksgiving Menu 2007
Posted in Family and Friends on November 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
As snobbish as I am about Thanksgiving and tradition, I thought I would spell out my menu, along with reasons I love each thing or why I might not love it but serve it anyway.
Turkey: Roasted for hours, unstuffed this year, and basted to golden, crisp-skinned perfection. The best part? Eating all the skin when [...]
The New ‘Do

I cut my hair Friday. 10″ off the length, leaving me with shoulder-skimming locks that are sassy and sexy and just altogether adorable — if you ask me, that is. If you ask my coworkers and friends, I look younger and sexier than ever. My daughters think I look fab, and say the new ‘do [...]
Ownership

I have my weigh-in tonight at Weight Watchers. Now, I have worked SO gosh darned hard this week, stayed on program, worked out every single day, but I am PMSing and I have the weirdest feeling I’ve gained weight. My pants are literally falling off my butt, but still, I feel fat.
Anyhoo, realizing this, I am sorely tempted [...]

…or “Ten Signs the Corporate Express Guy Might Think You’re Hot”
1. Every morning, he makes a point of telling you he ALWAYS brings you your office supplies first.
2. He giggles and nods constantly in your presence.
3. He shoulders hefty boxes of paper instead of wheeling the cart the 20 feet to your supply room.
4. He takes [...]
Thanksgivingmas

A local radio station has begun playing, “All Christmas music, all the time.” Yes, already. And while I absolutely, unabashedly adore holiday music, I’m feeling a bit rushed into the holiday season, considering we’re still more than a week away from Thanksgiving.
What ever happened to the slower, one-holiday-at-a-time method? In one word? Money. The Christmas [...]
