Hunger Games x 2

WillettSteakMeal

Hi friends.  How was your weekend?  Not long enough, I’m sure Hubs and I had a weekend at home, which was much needed.  I had some blood-work scheduled as part of a physical on Saturday morning, so the Hubs and I grabbed a quick breakfast out together at Dino’s Deli on the Upper East Side afterwards. Unfortunately, we were not impressed.  The first thing that they brought to the table were our “hash browns.”  Do they look like those cheap-o taters that you buy in the frozen section of your grocery store for like a buck? Yeah, they did to … Continue reading

Sometimes after a crazy week, you just need a couple of lazy days. Or, if you’re like Stormy – then everyday is a lazy day!

Sunday morning, I lazed around on the couch catching up on my DVR (and crying while watching Grey’s Anatomy), drinking multiple cups of coffee and eating a delicious smoothie bowl of blended yogurt and frozen berries topped with granola. I love this purple breakfast Around lunch … Continue reading

Mouse-capades Continue

Swordfish-Ravioli

FRIDAY Mouse update: After cleaning out our storage closet on Thursday night, we found that the mouse had discovered Stormy’s travel bag, and had eaten through a ziplock bag to get to her food and treats. Knowing what the mouse preferred, we loaded our traps with crushed up dog biscuits. Friday morning we awoke to empty traps.  The mouse had strategically taken the treats without setting the traps off!  I may start calling him Houdini. Oh, and he left us lots of little “presents” on the counter – just to be sure that we knew he was there. To make … Continue reading

Smoothie-Dinner

After work on Monday… Me: “Let’s go to the gym.” Hubs: “I don’t feel like driving there, then working out, then driving back.  Plus, we have a lot to do.” Me: “Yeah, but I really want to go because I have a Dr.’s appt on Wednesday, so I probably won’t be able to go then, and the wedding is this weekend.” Hubs: “What if we do an Insanity video?” Me: “I really want to lift some weights.  We could go to the gym, then grab a smoothie for dinner.” Hubs: [silence] Hubs: [silence] Hubs: “Are you using my love of … Continue reading
