5 Thoughts It’s Sunday. Why am I up at 7 a.m. without the alarm for no reason at all? Oh right. I started coughing. So much for going to bed without Nyquil for the first time in a week. What a beautiful day outside and pleasant inside. It’s a great day to do whatever! And so we went mattress shopping. And it was virtually painless (except for when I cut my thumb on the laminated price sheet). We were in and out of the store in less than 30 minutes. Our new mattress arrived within a few hours. TV Binge...

When I scheduled a test kitchen day at work, I didn’t think about it being the first day of the Hobbit Diet. Not that it would change anything but it was interesting for me to try to log what I just made into MyFitnessPal app. What was I going to test? Braised Chicken with Baby Artichokes, originally from Williams-Sonoma blog. Fortunately, someone else made a similar recipe–actually, one of the recipes I considered testing–and added the calorie counts to the database. Surprisingly, this recipe is quite a healthy one at 280 calories per serving (if serving 6). My lab rats…I meant,...

5 Thoughts I’m doing absolutely nothing today. Except for making breakfast… …picking up my car (yay!)… …getting a massage… …and watch LOTS of TV. Hello, my Netflix list. It’s been a long time! Today’s Photo Robin Hood is finally returned to me whole, and with new shoes! There were scratches on the bumper for over a year that has bugged Brandon so much. Since his car was fixed up beautifully at the body shop, he dropped mine off to get fixed as well. So we had been a one-car household for almost 3 weeks. I got my car back from...

5 Thoughts Thailand has a coup. It’s also a Thursday. My family’s fine. I’m fine. Nothing to see here, folks. Really. It’s not what you think it is. See my friend Greg’s post from the middle of the action. I realized today why I have been feeling a little bit stuffy-headed and a little woozy about the same time at work everyday since I’ve gotten the cold. I should stop taking extra strength cough medicine on empty stomach first thing in the morning. Whoops. Kogi truck went past me when I was coming home from work. So I checked twitter...

5 Thoughts Being sick threw me off my eating schedule horrendously because I didn’t want to eat anything, let alone seven times a day. Now I’m trying get back in the game. Being sick also got me off track with tracking my meal on MyFitnessPal…which wasn’t good for my morale anyway. I decided to drop it all together and just keeping track of what I ate on Evernote. Being sick is working out my abs. All this coughing is giving me some definition. Neat-o! I realized I haven’t worked out in a month. My schedule has been all messed up...
