Wednesday's Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts.......




  • If you want to see something really funny, feed your dog mashed potatoes.....It might just be Jackson, but he was hilarious!



  • I miss Travis on days where there are 2 hour delays or school is cancelled.



  • I thought the 9 inches of snow we got was absolutely beautiful. Iwished I had my camera with me the other day when I was driving home. I don't mind driving in it, but it is getting old.



  • I have alot of exciting weekends coming up!



  • Houses in the midst of renovation (mainly my own), with lots of work left to be done piss me off!



  • In addition to that, I find that picking out paint colors scares me! I don't want to make a mistake, and yet paint is so cheap. Why do I care??!!



  • I miss my friend Jennifer at work~



  • I missed my hair appointment this week.....crap! I need to call them.



  • I have realized that the only mascara that really works for me is Mary Kay.



  • I think Pandora bracelets are cool.


Until next week America........



Tuesdays at the Table

Hey All!

Thought I would share a great low calorie dessert recipe with you all. I kinda combined 2 different recipes for this one. Sorry I don't have any pictures.

Pinapple Angel Food Cake

1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
1 can crushed pinapple in it's own juice + 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple drained
1 tub light or fat free cool whip
1 small sugar free vanilla instant pudding.

Mix the can of crushed pineapple with the angel food cake mix and pour into a baking dish. Bake as directed on the box. You will want to spray the baking disk with Pam. Remove from oven when done and cool.

Mix whipped cream, 1/2 c to 1 cup of drained crushed pineapple (depending on how much pineapple you really like. Me....I love pineapple so I used alot), and vanilla instant pudding mix and frost cake on this. It gives it a pretty thick layer of icing.

Enjoy. This recipe is so light and fresh!!

Be sure to hop on over to All the Small Stuff and check out the other recipes! Looks like some good ones this week!!

Superbowl Schmuperbowl.....

Well it is time for the superbowl and I'm not really into either team so I'm sitting here bored and thought I would say hey! I would bet....well if I actually did bet, I would bet on the Colts, but my son is for the saints. I just like the name Peyton Manning better and I also like the color of the uniforms better. Poland colors, LOL.

So what's new everyone???

We started a Live Well at Battelle program at work focussing on a healthy lifestyle and so far I have lost 3 pounds. We are all wearing pedometers at work. Did you know that you are supposed to walk 10,000 steps per day? Dang, I'm nowhere close, but I did almost hit 5000 the other day. I actually love the pedometer though, it makes me want to walk more, and my friend Pam at work and I were dancing and walking through the department trying to beat one another on steps. It was kinda funny....Me: I'm going to get the mail. Pam: I'll go get the mail... Me: No I will. Pam: Fine, I'll get our water then. Me: No I can get my own water.... It was kinda like that all day Friday. Hey what's a little competition???

Speaking of work, it was my friend Jennifer's last day on Friday. I will miss her so much! She is such a great person and so awesome to work with and for. It definitely won't be the same without her for sure!

All is well on the Travis Front. He has joined a fraternity, and don't ask me which one because I can't remember. He is having fun rushing and if they know what's good for them they better not be hazing him. When I called Friday and got his voice mail he was giving the daily weather report....that is one of his things he has to do until rushing is over, LOL. It was funny!

Well this has to go down in history as the most boring post ever, LOL. Sorry!

I have nacho's in the oven so I guess I'll go grab those and sit with John and eat them.

Have a great one!!
