Happy Monday, everyone. I don’t know about you – but my Monday morning was a bit weird today. I stayed up waaaay too late due to President Obama calling a late night press conference on Sunday right as I was getting ready for bed. I knew it was something important – and there was no…… Continue reading Monday: Salads and Wraps…
Well bloggies – happy Friday. TGIF indeed. As of last night a secret I’ve been keeping pretty well is now out to most of my friends, so I figured I would share it would you readers, too. Tomorrow morning I am running my first post-surgery race. I would not say that I am looking forward…… Continue reading The Secret Is Out… sort of
Wow, what a day I have had. It was a great day and I have gotten a lot accomplished. I am pretty sure my day was so awesome because I went to bed early last night [after packing the healthy breakfast and lunch… remember?] I was in bed by 9:45 last night [this might not…… Continue reading A Healthy Balance …
Can someone please tell me why – on earth – it takes me so long to pack my lunch??? On the nights where I can stand to force myself to do this, it takes quite a while. Perhaps I should start playing music or talking to a friend on the phone while I do it.…… Continue reading Sunday Night Prep
I often get questions about preparing dinners for one. Tonight I had a dinner for one so I just figured I would tell you about it. You might recall that my mom made chicken last night.

Last night I mapped out my normal work day. It was not pretty. Almost every moment is spoken for – especially on the days when I run or exercise. This is one reason I like taking the train a couple of times a week. I get my reading time done on the train, and (if…… Continue reading Such a busy day…
Today I spent 90 ¢ at the market. I got away with two red potatoes and a small yellow onion for under a dollar! I almost cannot believe it. I paid with change. Do I really have to deduct the 90¢ from my twenty dollar budget? I paid with change. I did not even break…… Continue reading 90 cents
I read an article in this Sunday’s paper about a woman and her family who are going on a ‘spending diet’ for the month of February. They are not spending money besides paying their monthly bills, putting gas in their cars (but limiting their reliance on the cars) and so on. They are limited to…… Continue reading Dough…
On Friday night I went over to my friends’ house and cooked dinner, with some help from my friend Danielle. I decided to take a page from Jenna’s playbook, and make chicken & biscuits… it definitely reminded me of being down South. (For those of you who don’t know, my mom is from Tennessee and…… Continue reading Chicken and Biscuits
Fall has definitely arrived in New England… I’m not sure if summer will make a reappearance, but I’m so excited for fall! I had a really low key (and much needed, per doctor’s orders!) Sunday. I made my own chicken stock, chocolate chip cookies (I cut the homemade recipe in half because I didn’t have…… Continue reading I am still here…
