Apology To My Dog


Oh, Benny. I am so sorry. Ever since the Wii has entered our house you have been missing out on quality time with your family. Instead of the kids rushing home to play with their favorite pooch, they bound in the door and ask if they can “go bowling”. And when your favorite guy comes home you don’t get the quality time you’re used to. Tiger Woods Wii Golf seems to have taken your place.

I thought that I could make-up for their recent lack of interest. Our walks would be longer. You’re treats would be home-made. But, you see my dear, sweet, hairy friend, I have found Wii Fit. And, now I realize, you are a Wii Widow.

I’m sure you are not alone. There must be more pets out there that are going through the same experience. Perhaps I can find a support group for you? You’re meetings could be at the dog park while you sniff each other and moan about your people jumping up and down all the time and swatting at the T.V. You can mention how you don’t understand why your people look at the T.V. when they could be looking into your sweet, puppy-dog eyes.

I will find something just for you Benny, I promise. But let’s make sure it doesn’t happen during my Wii Yoga time, OK?

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
