Books and Bowls

I stopped by the local library’s quarterly “Friends of the Library” sale last Friday and came home with some goodies. First up, from the diet/fitness section. Always a good area to check because there are LOTS of new books, and as a dietitian I like to keep current with what new fad books are out [...]

Visitors at the Funny Farm

Look who’s happy, sunning himself out on the porch, legs crossed: And why is he so happy? Probably because his grandparents arrived last night, along with his estranged brother and sister: From left – Annie Nanners (black lab), Neuman (beagle), and then in the background is Bess our foster BC. The house is certainly crazy [...]

A girl’s night in!

Wednesday afternoon. I took the day off from exercise and decided to spoil myself on this rainy day – a little shopping on the way home, lots of time reading this afternoon (with tennis on in the background, of course), pumpkin pancakes for dinner, and my first netflix movie tonight!! After work I stopped by [...]

Post Thanksgiving Message

Happy Black Sunday! That’s our lovely table set for Thanksgiving meal. Good food had by all 10 of us at the farm! Turkey – I will say that we wanted and attempted to purchase a locally raised turkey… but the $90 turkey breast we came across was a little out of our league :( Cranberry [...]

Friday at the Maxx

Yay for the weekend! I got to move into my new office at the hospital, which was exciting. I still have to get my office phone and printer set up, but so far it’s nice to have an office that’s not in the kitchen, next to the hot and steamy dishroom. I spent part of [...]

Sunday’s Thoughts

Here are a collection of my thoughts for the day: I was excited to find this creamer today at Target. I have no idea if it will compare to Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte, but it’s worth a shot and so much cheaper! Should make my commute through farmland this week more delicious :) I also [...]

Saturday Happenings

Good evening! We’ve had a good Saturday so far. I was quite surprised to sleep until 9am this morning! The Knoxville Farmers Market opened at 9, but by the time we got ready, out the door and drove into knoxville (~30-40 minutes) it was a little after 11. The market was actually very quiet today [...]

75 and sunny

A lovely Sunday afternoon here. We just got back from a fun day of shopping (mostly). Started at Hardee’s to get my mom a country ham biscuit (she’s become obsessed with them!)…. and I might have had a biscuit myself. I wasn’t too excited to see the woman in the kitchen open the biscuit with [...]

Saturday in the Music City

Good Saturday Morning everyone! I had a fun night last night – Moe’s and Dave and Buster’s. Ended up winning in pacman and air hockey… still working on my race car driving skills. haha. But lots of fun. And I won a pack of Titans playing cards, so pretty good, right? :) This morning was [...]
