[131/365] Drink Up

Not too much picture taking happened on Friday. After work, I had two hockey games and then indulged in a delicious meal with a side of sangria. I still ended up under 693 calories and down a pound. I need to play hockey every day!

[130/365] Calorie Counting

I’m starting to put on the pounds again, so I had to go back to counting calories. It’s tedious work, but apps like Lose It make it so much easier. Total First World post, eh? You know what else could save calories, and make logging easier? Skipping a meal, and donating the money to Oxfam:

[129/365] Bee-autiful Day

It was another gorgeous day, sunny and dry with temperatures in the 70s. I worked from home the past two days, so I was able to open the windows and enjoy some fresh air. And after work, I was able to sneak downstairs for (you guessed it) more flower photos! This sweet little bee kept

[126/365] On the Lake

We spent the afternoon with family friends on Sunday, at their home on the lake. It the perfect day for swimming, canoeing, picnicking and lounging.

[125/365] Red Panda

Josh and I had quite a busy day today. We brought the cats to the vet for their check-ups, went in search of a particular “Switch and Go Dino” because Josh had filled up his chore/behavior chart with gold stars (we couldn’t find the one he wanted, but he ended up settling on a different

Writer’s Workshop: Stuck

This week I’m following the prompt: 3.) A time somebody got stuck. I’d like to say thank you to Mama Kat for the shout out last week; I was so surprised and humbled to be one of your favorite entries! I’m so glad that people liked my limerick. (Maybe my 7th grade teacher wasn’t full
