I guess I am fortunate enough that after I got married I moved to another state. Lucky in the fact that I don't really have the chance of running into my ex-boyfriends (though I did play against a guy I went on a date with right when we moved up here). What's the big deal you ask? Well, nothing is worse than having a Slurpee craving when it is 110F outside in Phoenix and running to the 7-11. Now you are just running for a Slurpee so there is no need for make up, no real need for a bra (my mother would STRONGLY disagree with this statement), hair in a ponytail (and possibly a hat), and you are a sweaty mess because Phoenix is crappy hot. And though it may be hot, you do not look hot. And that of course is when you run into your ex-boyfriend, who is usually standing there with his new gorgeous girlfriend. So I may have been able to get around looking bad for ex's but I do a spectacular job of looking like crap for the neighbors, on a consistent basis I might add. We will take the … [Read more...]
Exercise can be hazardous to your health…
I was always more of a play sports kind of girl than a go to the gym kind of girl. Gyms always intimidated me and so I avoided them. But after sitting around on my butt too much in my early 20's come age 24 I decided I would start going. To cut down on the intimidation factor I joined an all female gym. It was great. Still the greatest gym I ever belonged to because they literally had a class going every hour, either water aerobic or land. They had trainers in the gym that helped you, not just wiped down the equipment. And everyone was friendly. I miss that gym. At the time I was teaching at the time most of my friends were females (elementary education is a predominately female occupation). So I worked all day with women and then I went and worked out with women. My dad feared for some odd reason that I would never meet a guy (I wasn't really dating anyone at the time). So my dad has this idea for me to join a co-ed gym. He would pay the start up fee and then I would pay it monthly … [Read more...]
Sunny side up…
Hey Peabody, can't you ever make anything healthy? I get that a lot. Yes, yes I can. Only problem is that this blog is not about healthy eating. I am the blog of indulgences. I had a couple people ask me to make angel food cake (that is coming up). Only problem is, sure angel food cake is low in fat because it only uses egg whites...12 egg whites. How is that a problem...well, I refuse to throw away 12 egg yolks. And with that the less than healthy part gets spurred on. Let's take today's dessert, the Pavlova, for example. Named after a Russian ballerina who no doubt was watching her weight. Again, these are made with egg whites, some sugar and little else. But then, there I am again stuck with egg yolks. What's a girl to do? Make curd, that's what. Key lime curd to be exact. These end up being a little bit like a key lime pie. You have the meringue, except of going on top, it goes on the bottom. You have the filling (which I like to add whipped cream to the curd to make it more … [Read more...]
World domination…
Now some may be wondering, what am I teaching the bunny to do? Nothing. I find it best not to train him (other than litter box train, which yes you can do) for everyone's safety. See I am pretty sure that my bunny is the reincarnation of the Brain. Now if you are wondering what I am talking about, I am in reference to Pinky and The Brain. It's a cartoon that was out in the 90's. It was original a short as part of another cartoon that became so popular they made it into it's own show. It was about two lab mice. One is incredibly stupid, that would be Pinky. One is incredibly smart, that would be the Brain. Every night they would sneak out of their cage with one plan in mind....to take over the world. I have come to realize that CCS is Pinky, lovable, happy, upbeat and generally doesn't let much bother her. LFB on the other hand is the Brain. I often see him plotting away in his cage. If he can ever figure out how to unlatch the cage...watch out. He already gets in and out of it when … [Read more...]
