Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

Today is a new day. Do NOT let yesterday’s unexpected lunch invitation from your husband sabotage your whole week. You know that it was a wonderful impromptu surprise for him to call and ask you & Megan out to lunch.
No, you didn’t get a chance to plan. No, you didn’t get to think through what [...]

It seems like over the past few months and 2009 that too many times I have opened a post with “Sorry that I have been away for so long”. That is never my intention. It seems like 2009 just kept hitting our family upside the head.

Note to self: Late night snacking will only lead to regrets. You did so well yesterday. Great tracking of food. Six+ miles on the elliptical. Why why why did you get in to the chips & dip once Chris got home from his trip? You hadn’t opened the bag since you bought them for Chris [...]
