(If you have firefox, see that font on “blessing #1”? It’s called Waker, but everytime I scroll down, I see “WANKER” and giggle. What exactly does a Wanker font look like??) Well, blessing #1 is Dad is home. He’s been in the hospital for the past week with a blood clot in his lung-probably …

It’s that time of year for teachers around America….state standardized testing. Why we do this in March instead of May is beyond me, but they don’t ask me my opinion before deciding this stuff….and if I got the chance I would tell my opinion on a LOT of other things, so it’s best for all …
This morning I woke up late and not feeling the greatest. I didn’t want oatmeal, but I didn’t want to NOT eat a good breakfast. So, a purple smoothie and cashew butter sandwich. Yogurt and fruit Greek Yogurt purple! I only had half for breakfast. I took the other to school. Those two things …
I do actually eat/drink the stuff on my blog! The bedazzled pics will be here later but I wanted to prove to Momma that I did drink my Purple Machine this morning (Ooh! Look! My desk is kinda clean too! Those stickers are the scratch and sniff kind. Those smell like….Dirt!) This one has peaches, …
Titanic is on TV. I absolutely loved this movie when it first came out. I saw it several times at the theater and sang the song very loudly in the car back and forth from Jackson to Henderson where I attended college. Those were great days. Now of course, I’m wondering why she didn’t pull …
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We’ve all heard it, but really, does anyone believe it? I do. And it’s not just placebo effect. I was sitting down today going over some school work and going back through the past few weeks of plans. At the end of the day, I usually …
10k (6.2 miles)+ 3.18 miles= (pardon the pic. I took this of my Garmin with my blackberry) I have a love/hate thing with races. I love to race. I love the anticipation, the start line, the hope for a good ending, post-race food, the long shower and long nap. But I hate the first 2 …
>>>>>>>>>>>>>Happy Dancing>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Due to my name being the same as a certain devastating hurricane, it was explained to me by others that my blog name might not make it to the top of “Google” search. There are way too many sites with the words “Katrina” and “Runs”, not to mention that someone else has …
that it’s Friday. Someone tell me I’m not dreaming. Dad’s doing better. He’s still going strong so now we wait for some scans to tell us that the blood thinners are working and he’s not a ticking time bomb. The man is not one to just sit around in a floral hospital gown unless he’s …
Dad’s back in the hospital. Nothing as bad as last November, but serious enough to have us worried. It’s a lung blood clot and hopefully the blood thinners will work. I’m just not into it this week. I’m sleeping a lot, worrying a lot (school budget cuts, huge class size increases next year IF …
ONce upon a time there was this and then I decided that’s just gross. And yet, I wondered how long that stuff up top would stay there before falling down into my food. About the time I started turning a pale shade of green, I grabbed some Awesome and a magic eraser and got busy. …
It’s been a long day already. State testing started today and although my kids do not take the tests, we have to be extgremely quiet and reserved and hold the bathroom breaks to near emergencies only. I had a little guy get sick and never in all my 11 years of teaching have I had …
Isn’t there a song about Blue Monday? Anyway, I’m keeping this short. I packed all my food for today. It looks like a lot, but I may not be home until late due to faculty meeting, errands, and working out. Dinner tonight was quick but good! I made pizza! I found these personal …
My mind is wide open lately. Lots of school stuff is going on and reflecting back on the past year—wondering if this year will be better. Anyway, I have never tried Orange Beef. Now I have And it’s good. The sauce: 1/2 C beef broth 1/4 C orange marmelade (I used a no sugar …

Stir this in to desired consitency sliced almonds I toasted two slices of 9 grain bread. With the salad, I used mixed spring greens. This bread had a wonderful chewey consistency with …
I love spring. It’s a close second to autumn as my favorite time of the year. I also love tulips. I cleaned the fridge today. And when I got everything back in there, I was amazed at easy it will be to have good food at any time. Now I’m …
I am back home now and after some sleep and house cleaning, I decided to spend the rest of my last week day of spring break trying to organize recipes and the pantry. I am a little sad about going back to school. I could use another week off. I wanted to try some …
This is my new favorite store see why? Dakota Dakota—pumpkin seeds! Cinnamon Raisin Walnut mmmmmmm Mmmmm—more raspberry chocolate Need I say more? All whole wheat. No preservatives. Super yummy.
“Wanna go to the bread store?”. Those words are guaranteed to have me packing for a road trip to MS. I have seen the light on just how good wheat bread can be. Of course if you slather white cocolate raspberry cream on an old shoe I would think its good. But this stuff from …
I’m officially old. I’m excited about bread. I have planned my summer vacation around learning to bake bread. For my birthday I purchased a bread pan. My grandmother showed me how to make wheat angel biscuits. And now……road trip to my first Great Harvest store. It doesn’t tale much these days. But going to this …
