Believe it or not, a week later and I’m still South Beaching. That’s right. I have not caved and I am still fighting the good, if tricky, fight against carbs, sugar, and my too-tight clothing.
I must confess, I did cheat a bit on Sunday. On our nation’s birthday, I withstood cake, cup cakes, potato chips, [...]

Believe it or not, due to explanations that defy all logic or personal history, I’m back on the South Beach Diet. But here’s the thing: I think this could be reminiscent of that first go round. Remember? No, of course you don’t. I didn’t have a blog then.
If I did, you would have been subject [...]

Dinner date with a 60+ year old man on Friday and a Mighty Kid’s Meal from McDonald’s on Monday. Makes perfect sense.
I got the Amelia Earhart toy!

This weekend I went to lunch with a friend of mine.  Despite being late April, the weather was cold and a bit gloomy.  It was the perfect day for a grilled cheese sandwich. 
I perused the menu, my eyes hoping to spot the words Grilled Cheese written in a bold, proud script.  I found them, but [...]

These days I’m watching my calories, I’m exercising like a crazy person, and I’ve been really good about drinking water and limiting pop.  That said, I just got hit with a ridiculously strong craving for a cheeseburger.  We’re talking a big, juicy, greasy, dribbles down your fingers, cheeseburger. 
Excuse me, I think I may have just drooled [...]

I cannot believe I let it get to April 8th without a single post.  I started one about April Fools’ Day.  (Yes, it is Fools’ Day, not Fool’s Day.  I looked it up.)
I started one about the recent rash of dieting attempts but I was distracted by a pile of bacon cheese fries.
Started another one [...]

As I’m sure most of you know, it’s cookie time.  You’ve probably all seen the green-vested gals parked outside of Wal-Marts, Safeways, and Krogers with their parents’ card tables covered in cookies.
Now, while I’m a big supporter of Girl Scout cookie sales, I feel compelled to confess that it is not quite the altruistic gesture [...]

My brain is oatmeal.  And I’m not talking the good-for-you, thick, steel cut oats of Scotland.  I’m not talking about the rolled oats of Sunday morning breakfast.  I’m not really even talking about a delicious packet of instant oatmeal. 
I’m talking about the oatmeal you sometimes get at a cheap diner.  The oatmeal that’s a little [...]

When is a fondue party no longer a fondue party? When it becomes a faux bachelorette party, of course!
Allow me to set the scene for you. First, we must take a trip back in time. Back to a simpler era. Back to the days of Nirvana (the group, not the state of mind). Back to [...]

We are living in scary times.  I think we can all agree that things are getting a little harried.  Prices of everything are on the rise and the current state of the world is unnerving at best.  As we enter into the holiday season, it can be easy to let our concerns take over. And with [...]
