I finally went back to the gym yesterday after a few weeks away. It’s not that I haven’t been to the gym, but that I haven’t worked out with weights in about two months. So today, I’m super sore. So sore, in fact, that my quads, calfs, and triceps are screaming! Don’t get me wrong — I don’t regret going back and pushing myself so hard. My only regret is that I didn’t go back sooner! Today I was was planning to do about 30 minutes of cardio using the rowing machine, but needless to say, I didn’t make it […]
Why Khloe and Kourtney Are My Faves!
I have really tried to pull myself away from watching the mindless dribble that is reality television, but somehow those Kardashians keep pulling me in with their family drama! I just watched the conclusion of the “Kardashian therapy session” and my heart really went out to Rob Kardashian. I think he is a bit left out on the “family business” end of things, but he really does need to take more initiative. He needs some direction and maybe Kris Jenner does tend to the business of the girls more than she does for her son. Rob also needs to take […]
My Review of the September T&C
Last month I expressed my excitement about getting several magazines in the mail. Among those magazines was the September issue of Town & County, which was full of really great articles. One article that popped out at me was in the “Manners & Misdemeanors” column, which this month was written by Ali Wentworth, the beautiful wife of George Stephanopoulos. Her article, entitled “Confessions of a Bag Lady”, was a comical look at the idea of goodie bags, which are given away at charity dinners, book parties, film festivals, etc. Ali states, “A quick primer: A goodie bag is the reward one gets […]
Dress Form Outfit #37
Since September is here, I’m beginning to look forward to the cool fall weather. So to get myself psyched up for fall, I paired this week’s dress form outfit with a stylish scarf. I paired an olive colored skirt, which I purchased at a thrift store in Casselberry, Fla., with a black tank top from Wal-Mart. The scarf was a gift from my husband. He said it brings out the green in my eyes… how romantical! When the weather gets cooler, I can unwrap the scarf from around my neck and drape it around my shoulders. During the spring and […]
From My Kitchen to Yours
I make lunch for my husband’s entire family (if everyone comes over, there’s nine of us) every Sunday. I don’t mind it really, because I really like to cook (and bake). Several years ago, I kind of took over the Sunday cooking responsibilities from my husband’s grandmother, Maw (as we call her). We’ve lived with her going on 10 years, and I’ve probably cooked more Sunday lunches and holiday dinners than I care to count. But as everyone knows who sits at our dinner table, I don’t cook crap and everything I make is “made with love!” So this Sunday […]
