First, before I do anything else, I’m going to show how this month’s socks are going, since I couldn’t get it together for my weekly Wednesday update. I totally blame work for this, as the rotations screw with my brain. Robin had to remind me on Thursday night that he wasn’t going to need a […]
I mentioned that there probably wouldn’t be any pictures of muffins on my blog right? I lied. I found a low-carb muffin recipe and decided to give it a whirl. Ingredients? Cream Cheese, Eggs, Splenda, Vanilla and cinnamon (just a little tapped on top for a bit of zest). They’re currently cooling on the counter, […]
We’ve been having all kinds of weird weather lately. Everything from sunny & hot to stormy with hail. This is what I drove home in this evening. I have to admit, I had a bit of a blast plowing through all the water that was gathering on the road! We had ourselves a bit of […]
Sometimes it takes a couple of days of searing heat to make me appreciate a good rain shower. I rained on Friday. It’s Sunday now, and we’re just wishing that the sky would open up and cool things down. You have absolutely no idea how glad we are that the guys who built our house […]
We meant to go on the Full Moon Ride this month, but it didn’t happen. For starters, with me getting over the flu, we weren’t sure that I would be able to make it. Second, I have to work today. So instead, we decided to get on the bikes and head for dinner. We took […]
Today Calgary City Council passed the proposed Bike Plan, that will hopefully help get more riders on their bikes, off the sidewalk, and on the streets. While it seemed that three of the aldermen thought it was a waste of time (the alderman for our ward was one of them…disappointing), I was pleased to see […]
We’ve finally had enough of the procrastination and excuses, and now it’s time to really knuckle own on the food and fitness part of our lifestyle. We have a previously planned dinner engagement for later this week, but otherwise, we’ll be starting back on our whole-food plan. I did a huge grocery-shop today, and we […]
I have a confession. See that? It’s a Sims 3 household. It was only a matter of time before it happened. First it starts with needing to update your iPod using iTunes, and then you wind up checking to see if one of your video games will boot…next thing you know, it’s a week later, […]
A few weeks ago, I was nuking some leftovers for lunch at work. A co-worker came out, inspected my chili, deemed it savory-smelling enough, and then commented that he had the exact same plastic tubs at home but was hesitant to use them. When pressed, he muttered “Bisphenol-A” and left it at that. That’s my […]
Just a quick one…Last night’s dinner: Don’t you think he’d look great in a music video, maybe dancing around to a tune by Peter Gabriel? I sure thought so. Dinner was surprisingly healthy: Chicken, a salad, and veggies. Tasty! More than halfway done sock #2 of Robin’s Beer Socks. Going fairly fast now that I’m […]
