Random Musings Friday!

  Happy Friday to ya! No blanks today because Lauren had her little darling, Fern! Go and congratulate her on their new arrival! She’s a little dolly. Now for some Random Musings: * I had one of those moments this week. You know those “That moment when…” sayings all over Pinterest? Well, it’s Winter, and…

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser! {& Meal Plan Monday!}

Good morning! Happy Monday! It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day!  Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ – Martin Luther King Jr. Another week of eating salads has paid off! My weigh in this morning showed a FIVE pound weight loss! That makes my total for (round two of)…

Food Fodder: Meal Plan Monday! {Plus, exciting news!!}

{source} If this is a Monday, you wouldn’t know it by the events! First of all, thank you so much for all of the thoughts and prayers for Ryan. He had an interview this morning and the guy hired him on the spot! He starts tomorrow morning, but may have a job this afternoon that…

Fill in the Blank Random Friday! {Free Time}

Today is all about free time, as if we ever have any. I guess it depends on what your definition of free time is. My definition of free is when I don’t feel like I have to hurry, which is never. I always feel like I have to hurry up and write a post while…

Friday’s Fill in the Blank Random Musings {New Year’s Style!}

Today, I’m spilling the beans on all things New Year’s and linking up with Lauren of the little things we do, but first, a little bit of random with Shana of Fumbling Towards Normalcy. * Remember when Taco Bell had black olives? Then, not long after they ousted my favorite nacho topping, they got rid…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {I Don’t Get It}

I can’t get my brain to shut up this morning. I wanted to write about something happy and Christmas-y today. I had a scary event last night that ended with me in an ambulance and a release form that wants me to follow up with my doctor. With no answers and no real reason for…

Monday Mosaic {101 in 1001}

You may have heard of this new trend floating around the blogosphere. It’s called the 1001 Day Project or 101 in 1001 or The 101 in 1001 Challenge, or The Longest List of Goals You’ve Ever Made in Your Life, or The Yay, My Life Now Has Purpose; I Need Coffee List or whatever. I’ve…

Food Fodder {Winter Squash Soup}

“I hate squash.” That’s been my motto for the past 29 years and 8 months. Until now. I realized, I actually do love some squashes! I love zucchini, for example, and yellow squash. I’m amazed at Spaghetti Squash and how it can be a valid replacement for pasta. (If you haven’t tried this, do it…

Fill in the Blank Friday {A few of my favorite things.}

It’s Friday! This week flew by, and thank my lucky stars for that! This weekend we’re finishing the Fall clean up (until the next gust of wind blows the rest of the leaves down) and watching (of course) college football. We’re also going to start the process of moving the girl’s unused baby stuff into…

FoodFodder: Turkey Meatloaf & Cauliflower Cakes

My greatest downfalls, when trying to lose weight, are a) I get bored with the food and b) complacency. You know, when you tell yourself “Self, you’ve lost twenty one and a half pounds! Eat a cookie! It’ll be fine!” and before you know it, you’re eating leftover pizza for lunch and ordering take out…
