Goodbye, wine!

Red, white, dry, sweet, farewell to you all, forever. Ok, maybe not forever, but for a while. You see, I love you, but my triglycerides don’t. It’s been swill, I mean swell, while it lasted. Adieu.

Quarryedge Cabin, MDI, Maine 9/12/10

Partly cloudy, partly sunny, nice and breezy, a little chilly. Lazy, lazy day. First day of vacation it’s permitted to do nothing, right? Napping, stitching, looking at the Sound. I guess it’s OK to be like Aspri today. I’ll think about actually doing something tomorrow.

My food's all gone ....

... I tried eating part of the holder, guess I'll just take a little nap.

Deja Vegan all over again

So, I started the 21 day PCRM vegan quick-start program today. Love the idea of being vegan again, not just for the animals but for my health.

Today was good - started with oatmeal with raisins made with soy milk, and coffee with soy milk. Lunch was the program's Couscous Confetti Salad which (with a little extra lemon juice, vinegar and pepper) absolutely rocked. But the best part of lunch was a recipe I found on the related nutrition md website. I had eggplants so I looked for something legal to use them up and found barbecued eggplant steaks (or slices or something) and they were superb. It helps that I love eggplant and barbecue sauce!

Just finished dinner - again improvising from the program and again with the nutrition md website - vegetable stew which is basically a potato stew with tomatoes, and had a side of steamed broccoli and carrots with that. Very nice!

Looking forward to the week but even more to the weekend because we're off to Maine in the early hours of this coming Saturday. I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT TO GET AWAY FROM HERE!

Thanks again, Mom!

So far behind....

So, I haven't posted since last November. That sucks. Lots has happened. Lexi was born. Lost my job. Well, the position I guess you would say - still have a job it's just too too many hours. Scotties turned 4 on 5/10 - can't believe so much time has gone by. We're off to Brigantine thanks to the wonderful Helen B for a week, and then in September 2 week in Maine at Quarry Edge Cottage thanks to the most wonderful mom! Thanks, Mom! :)

I really should try to find time to keep up. Need to post some pix, I guess, and keep some sort of record for myself. So, maybe this time.

Ocean City MD October 17-24

We ended up having almost perfect weather for this time of year - sunny and warm for most of the days we were there. The townhouse was as promised, directly on the beach - heard the waves all night which I love. We had a small deck off our bedroom and woke every morning to sunrise over the ocean. Unbelievably relaxing and soothing. I do love the ocean.

And so did the dogs! Mom and Bill had a great time with them - even took them for a walk.

Now I can't decide if we should go to Maine for 2 weeks next spring, or try to do 2 weeks in OC in October. Oh, the decisions!
Here's what it looked like.
