Since starting the hcg diet and Dr. Simeon’s protocol, I have eaten all of my meals at home. However, today I was out of town at lunch time and had to decide where I could get the best meal to fit into my plan. I would have loved to have Olive Garden! Pasta, salad and breadsticks, [...]

For those who know me or have read my “About Me” page, you know I love to craft – even if it is sometimes a child like craft. Recently, I decided to get some friends together for a pot luck and crafting session. The food was great! But, some of the ladies felt they were not [...]

Now that I am focusing on losing weight and exercising, I am “checking out” those trouble spots for improvement. One area that really bothers me is cellulite! (I’ll spare everyone a photo on this one ) About 6 months ago, I read that using a mini trampoline would decongest the lymphatic system thus [...]

Recently my husband and I took a weekend trip alone to Pigeon Forge. The first we’ve taken in a long time without the kids. While returning home, we decided to stop at the Great Smokies Flea Market. Our chance to look as much as we wanted, without the boys complaining that they were ready to go home. [...]

This is a photograph of our very first set of chinchilla kits. I think they are so adorable squooshed together in this little “sammich.” The tiny beige one in the middle is Blossom. She was the runt. We had to hand feed her because her brothers would fight her for feeding rights. She was the sweetest [...]
Palm reading

My brother once posted a photo to his flickr photo page of his rough dry artist hands. (you can view it here). He jokingly asked for a palm reading. And he got one. So, that gave me the idea to post my palm for a reading. Any takers?
PS I am noticing my wrist / forearm [...]

So, for anyone who has read my ramblings, you already know I pledged to lose 50 lbs. At that time, I had not completely commited to a plan. I know the correct way to lose weight – eating right, eating less and exercising. However, I am one who does better with a plan.
A friend of [...]

Proform GR80
Yesterday, we made a great find! A brand new, already assembled Proform GR80 recumbent exercise bike for only $50 at a yard sale. I was thrilled! And, so was my hubby since he did not have to put it together.
Today it has once again turned cold, so I decided to give my new bike a spin. It [...]

With the start of Spring, we always look forward to the blooming of our Easter Lilies. However, be it the enormous wind gusts we’ve had recently or our over curious puppy, some blooms didn’t make it this year. I was surprised one afternoon to find my son making this little burial ground for the latest [...]
