Already Off the Wagon

I know...I know.  I've already missed a day.  I was busy yesterday.  But you know what...I've been cooking/assisting in cooking a lot of meals lately.  You almost forget how enjoyable it can be when you've created a dish that's sooo good from your two bare hands.  This week's best dish was from my friend K...a pasta dish consisting of:

-italian sausage

-corkscrew pasta

-mushrooms

-spinach

-fancy cheese spread, preferably w/a (black) pepper flavoring

Boil/cook pasta, drain and keep to side.  Cook sausage separately and then cut into 1/2 inch coins.  sauté mushrooms and let spinach cook on top of mushrooms till wilted.  Add everything together in large bowl while still hot and voila!!  One of the best and quickest things.  Dee-lish!

It's So Good Once It Hits Your Lips

After YEARS of being a Diet Coke addict...I have decided to try and quit.  The amount of consumption was too much...it's not important that you have an actual number, just know it was unnecessary.  Trying to stop is a rough process.    

-At Work: the hardest place to kick the habit...it gets boring drinking water, I don't really like the coffee....I need the caffeine, it's there...things happen.

-At Home: trying to stick w/tea and water but the occasional can or 2 slips in...but i don't even enjoy it b/c that refrigerator doesn't keep the drink at the perfect temp and if it's not at the perfect temp, it's almost like a waste to drink it.

-At K's place: she doesn't drink diet coke...so no prob there, I stick to water kicked up a notch w/some Crystal Light and other various drinks I purchase at the weekly grocery trip

-Out to eat: i'd rather pay free than the $2 it's been costing lately...so money issues nips that in the bud

I will leave you w/my favorite commercial for Diet Coke that doubly serves as an homage to my drink.  

Hello Lover...

Sooo....I haven't blogged in aboooouuuut....7 months.  But, I thought I might give it a go again.  No promises or statements on how long this shall continue, so we'll just have to see.  For my first blog back I would just like to say that I have a crush. 

For those of you who know me well, you might be saying, "Who don't you have a crush on?".  And that's all fine and true...whatevs...my current athletic crush is on Peyton Manning (QB of the Colts).  I just keep seeing that Oreo commercial w/him and his brother vs. The Williams sisters and think he's hilariously cute.
