And yes, I am coming out and saying it. I know we live in an age where technology is light years advanced compared to when I was a kid. My daughter will never know what a cassette tape is. She will never know what it is like to actually get up to change a television [...]

My company is offering FREE lunch today. Barbeque style. Burgers, hotdogs, baked beans, coleslaw, corn on the cob. Yuuuuum, right?
Those of you who have been following my dieting adventure realize the problem here. All except one item up there is on my “foods to avoid” list with the South Beach Diet. This is the part where [...]

My mobile little one is in for a treat – and she will not even realize that this is also a treat for mom and dad! This sucker is the best idea since the reclinable high chair.
Pictures speak louder than words…
Oooooh yeaaaaah.
The Pookie is 9 Months Old!

She is a character. She dances, crawls, pulls herself up. She is working on words. We were at a friend’s house earlier in the week and we were playing with a smaller baby. I kept saying to Sophia, “Be nice, this is a baaaby.” And Sophia kept trying to say baby by responding, “Ba!” (pause) [...]
Vacation Countdown Begins!

In exactly seven days la familia and I will be heading down to the Florida Keys for our annual summer vacation. I am excited about not working, hanging out poolside, going out on my dad’s boat – splashing around in the ocean with Sophia (who has never even seen the ocean yet!), maybe even a [...]
Week 4 – SBD Progress
Posted in dieting, weight loss, tagged dieting, weight loss on June 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
4 Weeks on SBD: -13 pounds. Not too shabby.
I am going to try and post some kind of progress every Monday. This way I not only keep myself honest but I also keep a record of my progress and all that jazz.
Last week I excercised 3 times – 20 minutes a piece – which keeps [...]
Basic Cauliflower Mashed (Potatoes)
Posted in dieting, recipes, reciples, tagged cauliflower mash, recipes, south beach diet recipes on June 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Years and years ago I remember trying a friend’s version of Cauliflower Mashed (Potatoes) – it really tasted so much like mashed potatoes that the combination of texture and taste with whatever meat you chose to pair it withwould actually make you have to think twice to remember that you are eating a low carb, calorie [...]
Carrabas & Whole Wheat Pasta!

As many of you know, eating out to Italian restaurants and The South Beach Diet do not go easily hand in hand. One of my favorite restaurants is Carrabas – an Italian Eatery chain. My husband and I have a love affair going on with their bread and spice and olive combo oil. Yes, that [...]
I. Chopped. It. Off!

Pictures speak louder than words in this case. I took these after I showered yesterday evening.
I love, love, love, love it. I feel like the real me now. I feel prettier and sexier and, interestingly enough, a lot more feminine than I did with my long hair. I was afraid Sophia would not recognize me. [...]
Friday SHOUT OUT!

I have three very loyal, personal friends who also happen to be very loyal blog readers and commenters. I love the combination! They know me a lot better than a lot of people already yet still find the time to come over here and read my on again, off again and sometimes random (okay, mostly random) ramblings.
So, I [...]
