My Garmin is dying. It might already be dead actually. It wouldn’t turn on this morning and I tried the holding down both front buttons trick and it would turn on for a second and then turn off 🙁 If it’s really dead I’m just going to have to sell a kidney for another one. I have to have it…

Fresh, Homemade Bread – Easy Style
I have always wanted to bake my own whole wheat bread and actually got a used bread maker before we moved. But, along with some of my most prized possessions I had to leave it in CA 🙁 But, today I searched the web for a super easy bread recipe with the ingredients I already had on hand. I don’t…

Favorite Christmas Movie
I can’t decide on my absolute favorite Christmas movie but my top ones include: – Home Alone – The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey version) – Elf – Muppet’s Christmas and…. Bridget Jones’s Diary! I saw this movie at a discount store for $5.00 the other day and had to have it! I plan on watching it later (with…

Better Than Nothing
Today was a rest day from running for me, and Ben wants to start exercising regularly. We only had about 20 minutes today before he had to start getting ready for work, but that’s better than nothing! So, we went for it and spent 20 minutes on the elliptical 🙂 If you only have a little bit of time to…

Needless to say much of this goes undocumented 🙁 My afternoon snacks were a handful of Kashi crackers (on sale at Target), a…

But, the batter seemed a little thick so I added some more almond milk. That made them too runny and impossible to flip….

Fancy Eggnog
My eggnog is fancy because I’m drinking it out of a champagne glass. I just got this very fancy glass for $.98 because I love champagne, but am constantly breaking glasses 🙂 I don’t know why Ben is so shocked that I’m drinking eggnog? Dinner was TJ’s black bean soup pimped out with added kidney beans and corn. Then, I…

Cafeteria Style
I went to a smallish Catholic school from 1st through 12th grade. Yes, I was a Catholic School girl, see… Anyways, I never had a cafeteria and always felt like I missed out. I actually say that I love cafeteria food because of this – I think I have convinced myself it’s good in my mind. Well, I fell in…

Phase Two: Observation (Over)
Hello hello! Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I had a day of crappy eats and didn’t really want to own up to it. By crappy I mean Chinese take-out and drinking eggnog out of the carton. Guilty as charged 🙂 I ordered Pei Wei and for some reason I ordered it extra spicy and it was killer! I loved it…
