We enjoyed the company of my husband’s parents for five days over the holiday. They left this morning to return to Indiana. They are old people. And they act like it. Most of the time they drive us nuts, but sometimes they are a little amusing. Which makes putting up with all the bickering and [...]

And we will eat a tree

I haven’t blogged this week because I’ve been so freakin’ busy at work doing the stuff they pay me to do that I haven’t had time to think. And yet Tuesday I came home and made the most complicated, most likely to be a disaster cake I’ve ever baked because I lack the common sense [...]

I grew up in Central Indiana, where we get a fair amount of snow. Then I moved to Middle Tennessee, where we don’t. Now I live in Southwestern Virginia, where, at least for the last five years, we get light snow. And then we had last night’s storm, which threw more snow on this region [...]

Tomorrow we are expecting the first big snow storm here in years. We could get as much as a foot of fresh powder. I live in a tiny corner of a mostly Southern state and we don’t get a lot of wintery weather. So this is big news. Pretty much anywhere in the South, if [...]

I had a day that sucked donkey balls. And I am just too tired to go into details. But I will later. I promise.

I met my cardiologist today. Nice guy. The good news is my blood pressure is down. The bad news is that it’s not down very much. The doc doesn’t think I am at significant risk for having heart disease. But he still wants me to have a stress test, which involves setting off teeny tiny [...]

I promise that once the holidays are over, me and several million other of my closest fattie friends are going to pretend we are all the biggest losers and get all religious about nutrition and excerise. That is then. This is now. And my hubby (from here on known as Hoylier, cause it’s an old [...]

Stay tuned for my first adventure in photoblogging. Today’s topic: German chocolate pies for work potluck celebrations for mine and my hubby’s office. Yes, there will be a sample pie that will be sliced and sampled. Recipes will be included. Let’s do this thing.
