Skipper is ready for fall, the poor guy has been aggressively trying to stay cool in his cooling hammock bed. You’d think he’d be much cooler after how much fur he’s shed this summer! Miko, on the other hand, is happy to snuggle in a warm blanket anytime of the year. We finally tried out […]
State Fair & Protein Pasta
Getting back to the grind after a long weekend has been tough, there’s a lot going on at work and I’m thankful it’s a short week. Tuesday my mom and I headed to the California State fair for a final day of birthday fun and the weather was perfect in the 80s instead of triple […]
Ginger Dressing and Party Weekend
It’s that time of year already, my birthday. Well, not until early next week, but I’m taking a couple of days off work to make it a long celebration weekend. And the weekend started off nicely when I came home to these gorgeous roses from hubby. Then we headed out to The Chef’s Table for […]
Smoothie Treat, Grilling, & A Cranky Fourth
Hate to say it, but I’m so glad the fourth is over! And hopefully my neighbors are done with their illegal fireworks for the sake of our dogs! They started celebrating Thursday night and Leela was not happy about that. Little miss cranky woke me up a few times during the night terrified and snarling […]
Potluck and Chocolate Syrup
Whew, I’m here and recovering from a busy week. I’ve been in Sacramento for the last two days for all day IT certification training and all that new information in a short amount of time can be exhausting. I need to gather my notes and study the material to take an exam in the next […]
Curried Tomatoes and Quinoa
I really hate the lack of pockets in women’s clothes in general, but especially women’s running clothes. Thanks to my job, I usually have two and sometimes three smartphones with no pocket options for carrying them. Guys can run in baggy shorts with huge pockets, but we’re lucky if women’s running leggings or skimpy shorts […]
Cheesy Protein Sauce
Whew, almost Friday and then a 3-day weekend! I’m ready after a busy week and thankful. Skipper is very thankful for V-Dog. The dogs get two meals a day now, breakfast and dinner, because that schedule is better for Skipper’s blood sugar. I had to break up the chihuahuas dinner into two small meals, but […]
Ginger Orange Dressing
So happy the weekend is finally here! And we might get some much needed rain today, it’s overcast and breezy outside. Perfect weather for staying at home and tackling a long list of cleaning and other projects. One of these days I will successfully capture a video of Skipper’s happy dance because he does the […]
Raw Protein and Dill Dip
Skipper out of the blue today became obsessed with a cat toy and did not want to give it up. We had to rescue it before he ate the fluffy end, though that would have been interesting. I guess that means he’s feeling better and becoming more stabilized on his current insulin dosage since he’s […]
Holiday Spice Balls
Are you ready for Christmas? I think I am… maybe. Miko is with his new reindeer toy. Stuffing started coming out of his last toy and this little guy is heartbroken if he doesn’t have a favorite small toy to play with. So I caved and gave him one of his Christmas gifts early and […]
