Usually, I do really well at controlling my sweet tooth. I can go weeks without touching sweets. And then there are certain times (of the month) when I crave sweets. Specifically, ice cream. So this last certain time when I was craving ice cream I happened to be in Target. (Not Super Target, just regular [...]

I hate shoes. More accurately, I hate shoe shopping. My feet are big. They are an odd size that isn’t normally carried on store shelves. I also have very narrow heels.

I know I haven’t been around much, but I promise I have my reasons. The good news? I’m still watching my weight and still making sure my LOSER HUSBAND is still getting good a nutritional meal at night. (most times.) One thing that we needed in our house was a nice digital food scale. I [...]
