Wow! April 17, 2010

Despite the many slackers on Cut the Cake, (me included)….way to go, Dad, and Marth, and Biss, and Steph!!! You are doing great.

Now I am going for a walk.

What a yummy cake…and a beautiful bride to be!! March 14, 2010

Wow….that red velvet cake!!! We all four stood in my kitchen and basically devoured them. Best I have ever had! Great job Steph and Sue and whomever else helped. Delicious. Beautiful shower today!

Sweet Grandma made her the veil.

Can Jury Duty cause you to lose weight? March 2, 2010

Answer: yes.

Sitting on my bottom for hours upon hours, eating only a little at break and lunch because of the sheer embarrassment it would cause for me to raise my hand in the middle of a serious trial, saying “umm…I really have a stomach issue”.

We’ll see what the scale says when duty it done…probably Friday at the rate we are going.

But the funnest part is the law clerk who is in charge of us looks like the clone of Trent. He is even built like him and kind of walks like him I want to pinch his cheek, but I don’t think he would appreciate that.

Did you notice? February 24, 2010

….The ticker keeps moving…..the ticker down in the corner of this page. The one that tells us time is ticking by. I am terrified to weigh in tomorrow. It won’t be good.

I must be old February 17, 2010

What a beautiful invitation I received in the mail today! Except I am so old it took me awhile to figure out how it worked. Silly me.

Thank you Rebecca and Stephanie for all your work.

20 plus 28 equals carb craving. February 9, 2010

Help. This insane amount of snow is making me want things I would never normally want, even on a “normal” eating day. Doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, extra large pizza. And isn’t like we won’t get out or something. (unlike scotty, who has 28 inches of snow on his street and never been touched with another possible 16-20 tonight and tomorrow. Oh, his work is paying for him and others at work to stay at the Hyatt tonight. They know they won’t get back.)

oh my…I see the snow coming down furiously. I have these evil brownie things saved in the freezer. Pray for me.

Happy Birthday Bobby!!! February 5, 2010

Hope your day is wonderful….of course that’s if you like snow.

You were a cute baby.

So Far January 16, 2010

Even though I am a librarian, I have been able to calculate that we have lost 55 pounds so far. Super great job everyone!

Beans, beans, they are good for your heart.. January 12, 2010

Sorry for the video..I am really 5 years old.

BLT and I have gone completely South Beach. Not a single carb in sight!! We are definitely losing now. Just need to see how much on weigh in. Wii Fit Plus is in the house also and walking has now started. Whew!

This is a great Black Bean Cilantro Chicken soup I made this week for lunch and dinner. I did a version of this: http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/2005/12/kalyns-very-favorite-herbcilantro.html

However, all I did was saute celery, with tops, onion, and garlic in a little olive oil. I added the drained black beans, canned diced tomatoes, some hot sauce, cumin, “mexican spice”, cut up cooked chicken ( I used some leftover “Nothing added” cooked whole chicken from Wegmans, cilantro, chicken stock, salt, pepper, and whatever else you might want.

We couldn’t get enough of it.

Hope everyone is having fun!!
