Winter has returned

















Wednesdays Dinner-a nice break from leftover HAM!




















Well, this Swiss Chard and Asparagus stirfry did have some of the aforementioned LEFTOVER HAM!


YES! It is snowing AND blowing and it feels much more like October than April. I used to love the saying "April showers bring May flowers" although growing up in Tok that had NO MEANING what-so-ever. But, the idea is so lovely, don't you think? We did have purple crocuses that would peek through the snow but they were few and far between.

None of this matters when today--it is winter again! I wanted to curl back into bed, watch a little odd TV-- Tales from the Darkside or The Outer Limits. My kids think these are just the creepiest shows but I think they are sooo fun!! Nothing like a little dark TV first thing in the morning. But, darker still is the fact that I got out of bed, threw on my favorite yoga pants, and after LULU's drive-thru made it to work with moments to spare.

My puppies are behaving poorly. I have a heavy heart (much like I did when my children were up to no good-this means you BLAISE!!) when I say that my puppy (Abby) peed on my bed last night. I accused Jeff of this misdeed but he wasn't going for it. I hate to be the bad guy but she got a prompt spanking (one little rap on the bottom) and got sent to the dining room for the rest of the night. She is a tough read-her little face always looks very contrite so either she feels very bad about it or is just kinda laughing in her own little cross-eyed way-maybe even giving me a little middle finger action in her own little MIND!

Dinners this week-frozen pizza tonight!!


































































( this is Abby--she likes the look of the organic veggies)







So--here it is.. My dinners for the week! I have cooked the BEST dinners, used organic veggies and eaten light! I am SOOO GOOD!!! But....tonight-we had frozen pizza, topped with sliced ORGANIC tomatoes and roasted cauliflower and it was AWESOME!!

Jeff has hockey tonight so it is just me and the puppies (the puppies who have EAR MITES!! YES, this is true even though the vet ( I think she is twelve) has NEVER SEEN ear mites in DOGS-our puppies have them. FOR the LOVE OF GOD!!! I am now absolutely positive that our beloved puppies are from a PUPPY MILL! I find this hard to believe (Karen, if you are reading this--of course, I know that you are not , BUT IF YOU ARE-SHAME on YOU!!) My little 8 lbs dogs are being driven crazy by small crab like creatures(SHUDDER) and I AM VERY sad for them. So-with a massive dose of killer medicine I am ready to face the ....infestation!! EWWW!!

Okay, I am moving on from this-I will let you know how it pans out. I currently have everything we own in the wash ( Again, thanks KAREN-Puppy MILL OWNER) I am hoping to hit the hay soon. Taking my little pups (bugs and all) and hitting the hay!)

So, following a night of frozen pizza (it rocked) I am OFF!!!
