Yesterday morning, I dragged my man out of bed at the crack of dawn (also known as 8:00 a.m. in our house) and dragged him to the local farmer’s market. We’ve been before but never went early enough to score the good veggies and were left staring at a few tables of brownish bananas and [...]

I have not eaten one bowl of oatmeal in 2010. How odd. I blame this on the fact that I returned from Canada with THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL TIME, which now dominates breakfast in our house. We blend our breakfast. This morning’s concoction was the greenest yet: banana KALE a whole orange, peeled a [...]
Finally!

My computer and WordPress, it would seem, are not the best of friends. For almost a week, I’ve been unable to access my profile on WordPress and, consequently, unable to update. No idea what was going on there, but I tried this morning and as you can see…it worked. I’ve got a couple of trips [...]
Ow.

My legs are shaking and my arms feel like jelly. Why? I got my ass kicked tonight by Jillian Michaels and her evil 30 Day Shred. I haven’t done it in awhile and guess what? It’s like I never did it at all! It was BRUTAL. And that was only Level 1. I was doing [...]

Start the day off on a healthy note….CHECK! Check out this greenie: Yum. Greenies are the best way to start the day, in my opinion. They have replaced my morning coffee most mornings and get my energy up before work…which is important because I usually have to utilize (at least part of) my brain from [...]
Blue Monday.

Did you know that the third Monday in January is apparently “Blue Monday”, the most depressing day of the year? I didn’t, but that would explain why I woke up yesterday morning feeling less than stellar. The reason it’s named that way is because this is where New Year’s resolutions start to fail, holiday visa bill [...]
The most brilliant thing in my cupboard, right now.

If you have ever seen the (fantastic) A&E show, Hoarders, you might have seen the one about the woman with 79 dead cats in her house…AND SHE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW. Well, while I would hope that I would know if I even had one dead cat in my house, I kind of understood where she [...]
Oops.

Well…our casual vegging out on the couch accidentally turned into a 2.5 hour nap, meaning that we missed our grocery shopping window (stores on the Rock are only open until 5:00 p.m. on Sundays…if they open at all). The obvious solution? Take out from our favorite Indian restaurant. Cheap and delicious. Here is my appetizer-sized [...]
Sundayness.

We’ve been trying to come up with things to do on the weekends. The Rock can be a bit blah over the winter months, so it’s easy to fall into the routine of spending weekends cozied up inside, on the couch. Yes, it does get cold and miserable in the winter on tropical islands…at least, [...]

A few months back, my mediocre-at-best blender died. I had pushed it to its limits blending things like unsoaked almonds and frozen bananas and it got to the point where I had to shake it while blending in order to get it to do the job, which isn’t actually a really ideal way to use [...]
