I made...

...Chicken Vegetable Soup! With only a couple Modifications...

1.) I am not a big fan of onions (unless they are fried...but that does not work on diet land) so those were removed...

2.) Then there was the zucchini. Really? Why would I put THAT in a soup? (Now zucchini bread is another story, but soup?) So I substituted corn, which is much more palatable for me.

AND...voila! 2-point soup (Weight Watchers)



IT~WAS~YUMMY!

Stay tune, because I will be cooking ALL week. Too bad I forgot to take a picture of the Orange Scented Strawberry French Toast this morning. It was yummy too.

Sunday's Happy Times...

at the skate park with my boys.

...had to remember not to run after them when they fell. Can't make them look like sissies in front of the 'other skaters'...or in Mojo's words ~ 'scotterers'.

...at the beach with my boys.

...we enjoyed throwing rocks, finding jewels, playing with sticks, and just balancing on the driftwood to avoid 'the laza sand'. Of course, Mojo could walk in the sand, because he was wearing hot laza shoes...what a wonderful imagination and...

A few things i miss sometimes...

...i miss a phone, that is plugged into the wall...That is un-equipped with caller id...I used to love the feeling of getting a call and the surprise you would get when you realized who it was on the other line. Cellphone have taken away the 'romance' in a simple phone call. This is how it was when I meet the love of my life...and those calls were priceless.

...i miss un-predicted weather...the days of looking out the window to see what the day may hold, instead of accessing it on the web to see what the next 10 days hold.

...i miss planning your evening based on 'your show' and how special those times could be. Now, you have hulu, itunes, netflix, youtube ~ and you can watch an ENTIRE season in a day. (not to be a hypocrite, because I am currently addicted to netflix instand movies)

...i miss the magic that technology has removed these past 10 years, and it makes me slightly...sad.

...my wonderful husband has a saying when he pulls off one of his super-duper surprises on me. I of course always want to know how he managed to pull one over on me soooo well. So what does he say?

'Don't ruin the magic.'

...and that is what i miss the most...the magic of the unknown, the unaccessible. Where did it go? My boys will never know these feelings...{sigh}

Sometimes...

Happy Valentine's Day...

To a great Valentine's Day...Dinner at Pagliacci Pizza and Dessert at Baskin Robbins. The best...

Quote of the DAY...

So does everyone remember to Phrase ~ 'Talk to the HAND!' ~ ???

Well apparently there is a new phrase and I heard it from the mouth of my 7-year-old today.

Cade: "Talk to the Booty... 'cause the hands off duty."

Please help me...

What do you do when you are stressed?

I have been missing for a few weeks, I offer no excuses. I am simply busy...and stressed. Guess what I do when I am stressed?

I bake...

...and these I bake because ~ well, everyone loves them ~ and I hate them. There is no fear of me eating any of them...They are from here.

What do you do when you are stressed?

...besides eat!
