Vegas vacation

I dragged my feet out of bed Friday morning to squeeze in a workout (I wanted to start off our gluttonous weekend with one last healthy hurrah).  It wasn’t one of my best, but it was better than nothing.  While Kyle showered I made him a birthday breakfast of rosemary hash browns.  I baked the potato first in the microwave for 4ish minutes so it would sauté quicker.  Then I gave it a rough chop (hot potato!) and threw it in the pan with cooking spray, salt, pepper, and rosemary.  After the hash was done,… Read more >

Welcome to fabulous…

Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sins Laaaaaaaaas Vegas…Didn’t nobody tell you the house will always win? You woke up in the rusted frame, Burned out old Deville Your legs are shot and they’re flushed with pain, But you can’t keep them still The sun sets and you’re afraid, Of the itching in your skin You stumble down the boulevard, Of neon encrusted temples You’re looking for the grace of God, In the arms of a fellow stranger Disciples hand you catalogues of concubines, As you stumble down… Read more >

Please don’t pinch me

Wonder of wonders

Miracle of miracles, my breakfast held me over until my lunch break at 1 pm.  That NEVER happens!  I have this cute bowl to thank.  :)  Attune foods hooked it up at Expo West – not only did I get this on-the-go bowl (like a sippy cup for adults), but I also got to fill it with whatever cereals I wanted.  As a huge cereal addict, this was one of the highlights of the Natural Foods show.  I could hardly contain my excitement combining all the cereals to make one mega-master-mix.  Uncle Sam – check! … Read more >
