Happy New Year 2015!

This year hubby and I were lucky to have two weeks off from work together. We were able to spend some time together, time with his family, and go on a mini-vacation to San Francisco. We returned from our Christmas adventure last evening just in time for the New Year to ring in. As I move forward into a new year, there are a few goals I would like to shoot for. 1. Waste less food - I found myself throwing a lot away last year and its my goal to waste less. 2. Eat better - So I got off track of taking care of my diabetes. My goal for the new year to to get back to being focused and eating less sugar. I was eating too many sweets which is so not good for me. But sometimes a girl just doesn't want to count carbs. 3. Exercise by doing something fun - I walk Moses in th morning but I think I need to do more. I often find that my knees and legs ache. I was doing a little bit of Yoga with Penny and I liked it a lot. 4. Make more dinners - Use all those recipes I've pinned on Pinterest. Make dinners ahead of time. 5. Back up all photos. My computer crashed and I lost a ton of photos. Now I need to get organized again and keep track of my photos and properly back them up. 6. Continue to get rid of the unnecessary and purge what I don't use - Simply said. I have too much stuff. I am a memorabilia person. I save too many things. Time to purge as no one is gonna want all that old crap. 7. Fix up Bonus Room and get a new front door - house projects a plenty.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
