McDonalds Halloween

October 27, 2011

I just found out that McDonalds all over Southern California will be giving costumed kids a free bag order of Apple Slices on Halloween. Add McDonalds to your Trick or Treat route and get a healthy snack to balance out all that candy. McDonalds has no idea I am posting this.

Tiramisu Bowls – Yoplait Swap Idea

October 24, 2011

I have never had Tiramisu, I always thought of it as a “fancy” dessert.  I faintly recall it having coffee or espresso in it, which is probably the main reason I have stayed away.  So needless to say I haven’t actually tried the following recipe but I trust the Yoplait Swap Team not to steer [...]

Red Velvet Parfaits – Yoplait Swap

October 13, 2011

Red Velvet has been the star of the party for a few years now.  I used to think it was a cherry chocolate flavor until I actually made one from scratch.  I don’t know where I got the thought that there was cherry other than the color, but I never was the brightest bulb in [...]

Nibbling

September 21, 2011

I have a tendency to nibble All. Day. Long. I prefer to have a bag of chips or M&M’s nearby which for obvious reasons are not good choices.  Today I stopped at the grocery store and purchased a HUGE box of Cheerios.  Dumped the entire box into a gallon ziplock bag and placed it next [...]

Blame it on the Shoes

August 13, 2011

I for a long time was a HUGE proponent of Crocs.  When attending my first BlogHer convention other bloggers made a Flick’r site of show porn, I included a picture of the shoes I would be wearing the entire weekend as well – Crocs clogs.  People laughed.  I didn’t care.  They were comfortable beyond belief.  [...]

July 19, 2011

After standing in line to get the new t-shirts we are to wear for the show I am working this weekend, I hear the boss remind everyone that they need to be tucked in at all times. Ugh. I approach her and have the following conversation: Me: If after I wash this and it doesn’t [...]

Well Adjusted

July 13, 2011

Nothing in my life has ever been well adjusted, not physically, not mentally, and not financially.  But last week I was offered the chance to receive a free consultation with Advanced Bodywork and Massage.  I can tell you I came out of there feeling a good 3 inches taller.  But I am getting ahead of [...]

Newbie

July 2, 2011

I had my first official visit to the gym this week and it didn’t go so well. I rode the recumbent bike for about a mile and a half, but wasn’t comfortable in the seat. Then moved to the elliptical which I was told would be good for my bad knee. YEOUWCH! Not so much, [...]
