MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I have to say last night started out Christmas perfectly. We went to Adam's cousins for 7 fishes.. I ate way too many fishes and chocolates, I also had 2 beers and a shot of Chamboard, with my Senior English teacher from high school(he's Adam's cousins husband) hahah I was very sluggish this morning so I had a cup of coffee and half an apple and 2 handfuls of grapes and was off to church with my parents and brother. I went back to the parents house and had a Pepperidge Farms Cherry Pomegranate Bagel with some margarine and fried in a pan. So bad but it was something my mom used to make for me when I was little and I totally wanted one this morning. I also had a few Wavy Lays and a couple of pizza Goldfish jumped in there too ;) I went back for more Goldfish later, they hit the spot! Joe and I went driving around after eating since he has a police scanner (he's a firefighter) so tis the season for chaos. He wanted to see what was going on at one house.. so we did a drive by.. So bad I know lol. Adam is at his brother's house now (he doesn't do church) and then we will be going to his cousin's house later on. I came home and vacuumed a bit and now I'm blasting some christmas music and relaxing before I hop in the shower and beautify myself for the rest of the day. I will definately try to remember to take pics of my eats tonight at the parents. We are having prime rib and homemade caesar salad. I also bought a bottle of wine to have with it ;) I'm not a big prime rib fan but I love dad's salad!

I hope your all having a great day! See you tonight :-D

I'll leave you with some pictures from today: Me and my baby brother (he's going to be 18 in 5 days!!!) and our Charlie Brown Christmas tree!

Holy Wind Batman!!

The wind kept me up all night last night :( I was so tired and went to bed early, but the wind was so strong it woke me up a million times. I finally got up around 8:30 and made some pumpkin spice coffee and waited for Adam to get up. I had a Pepperidge Farm Fruit and Grain bagel with Friendship Whipped Cottage cheese on it. I also ate a half of a banana while it was toasting (no pic). Around 10:30 I decided on going to the gym and did about 2 miles on about a 12% incline while reading the new People Magazine. I also did some weights for my arms and back while there. I came home and got ready to go to the new Outlets that opened near our house. Before we left I had a handful of peanuts since I have been starving for some reason (I'm thinking hormone related!!) Once we got close though the traffic started to back up. Adam thought maybe the traffic lights were out but I knew its because of the outlets and I was right!!! IT WAS CRAZY!!! We sat in traffic for 10 minutes and drove right by and went to Walmart instead. I was disappointed but oh well, we definitely spent less money at Walmart than we would have at the outlets ;)

We stopped at A&P for Adam to pick up some fried chicken that he wanted for lunch and came home. He got some tasty but evil fries too so of course I ate one too many of those along with a big bowl of Oikos vanilla Greek yogurt with the end of my can of pumpkin, tons of frozen berries, and honey nut cheerios. YUM YUM!

We pretty much sat around all day and I made some Vcon's Snobby Joe's to have for dinner on Tuesday night, since we are taking the parents out to dinner tomorrow night for a football fundraiser for my brother's high school.

Dinner was my leftover pizza from a few nights ago and the rest of my salad from Friday, with some ff ranch dressing. This dinner was great and hit the spot! Of course dessert was a Super Charge Me Cookie with a glass of 8th Continent Vanilla Light Soy milk. We are now watching Bridezillas and I'm looking up some ideas for some more turkey day projects for my kiddies to do!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! See everyone tomorrow night :-D

BAD BAD GIRL!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

Lets go back to last night and start there. For dinner Adam and I made pizzas using flat out wraps, veggies, some mozzarella cheese and some chunky marinara sauce. They came out very very yummy.. I also had some of my leftover vcon baked beans on the side :) I then downloaded some music for Adam for his Ipod, but something is wrong with it so I was working on that until I left to go out with the girls, this is why there was no din din post last night ;)

When Jamie got here we did a shot and were off to the tiki bar! It was a VERY VERY interesting night with one too many beers, and singing Jesse's Girl on stage for Jamie's birthday! I'm hoping I find the pictures on the Internet because I can only imagine how silly we look!!! I barely slept last night and I'm hurting a tad this morning.. Now I know why I don't drink anymore! Adam was home with a friend having a few also so needless to say he is back in bed after we just had breakfast.

Breakfast for me was a Pepperidge Farm fruit and grain bagel with cottage cheese and some apple. I ate about half of it but only had one piece left when I took the picture. I couldn't wait for the bagel to toast ;) I also had a nice big mug of coffee. I'm hoping Adam is feeling better soon because I need to feel productive today and go food shopping and run a few errands. We will see, but until then I'm cutting out leaves that my kids painted on Friday and gluing them to some paper, and cleaning the apartment. What a fun filled Sunday :-P

I hope everyone is having a great day! See you for lunch!

Oh and I'll leave you with a picture Adam took of me before I left last night.

AHH I LOVE WEEKENDS!

Good Morning All!

Well we went to the Saint last night in Asbury to see my friends bf's new band, it was an interesting place! It was fun though going out and suporting him, while there we had a miller lite. After their set was over we went to the Headliner for $1 miller lites! We also had get in free cards which is always nice ;) (gotta make friends with the bartenders) I had one beer there and my friend Becky bought another round but Kelli and I just wasn't feeling it. I am so not into going out and drinking alot anymore. I figure its really not worth it to feel like crap in the morning when I know I have things to get done, but its always nice to go out with the girls and bs for awhile with or without the beer drinking ;)

Even though I was up later than normal I still woke up way too early!!! I think around 7 or earlier.. I didn't want to look at the clock.. hoping and praying I'd fall back to sleep BUT no such luck! haha I finally got my butt up out of bed around 8:30ish and made coffee and a fruit and grain bagel with cottage cheese. YUM I also had a half of banana while waiting for the bagel to toast and coffee to brew.. It was there and I wanted it so the camera didn't make it ;) Adam made a HUGE pork roll egg and cheese on a hard roll so I of course had a bite to help him out with it.

I just did some cleaning and I'm gonna relax for a few before going off to the gym, then coming back to finish up cleaning. Oh how I love weekends of cleaning house :-p

hope everyone is having a great Saturday! See you for lunch :-D

Why Do The Weekends Fly By?

Wow where do the weekends go? After breakfast and showers we were off to the boardwalk since it was beautiful out, there was a juvenile diabetes walk there so it was PACKED! We then went and picked up my brother and went to Target and Costco. I got a few things but nothing too exciting, I looked at Target for their chocolate pb but didn't see it there I was very upset :( lol at Costco they had tons of samples so I tried one of some type of soft cheese and bread, I had a tiny bite and gave the other bite to my brother. It was really good :) On our way home Adam stopped at Wendy's to get a burger and fries. I ofcourse had a bite of the tasty burger and a few fries.. I had a Pepperidge Farm fruit and grain bagel with cottage cheese, pickles and some red peppers. MMMM GOOD! I also had a handful of walnuts while figuring out what I wanted since I was STARVING!! I then relaxed for a bit and did a few things around the apartment and then we were off to food shop for the week. I got some new mayan chocolate drink for general foods international which I can't wait to try :)

For dinner I had some Wheatables with Pacific Foods Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup, and a piece of apple on the side. I also had a few slices of red pepper and celery with some ranch dressing after I took the picture because Adam was making a big salad...I was in the munchie mood. I figured if I'm munchie I might as well eat some good stuff. For dessert I had 3 bites of the chocolate cake that my mom made this weekend (forgot to take a picture since I was eating it out of the container) since I'm a piggy and can't turn down chocolate cake!

What a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Well I woke up extremely early today and was not a happy camper, 6:15 to be exact! So I stayed in bed until 7 and got up and started my day. I did some blog reading and watched the news alittle, then made up some breakfast which was small because I wasn't very hungry but knew I needed something. I had some of a Whole Wheat bagel with Whipped Cottage Cheese with jelly and a half banana on the side. There were only 7 kiddies today so it was a nice relaxing day! I could not complain at all! :) At lunch I walked home to pick up my salad which was veggies with some of my bbq tofu I made a while ago. I ate it around 1 and still wasn't hungry for it but ate once again b/c I knew I should. (Didn't take a pic of the salad OOPPS). Well I have to say tofu doesn't like my belly, it made me feel pretty yucky after I ate it. I walked home snacked on some walnuts and cantaloupe since I was hungry finally and was off to the gym. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights for my arms and back.

Adam had to work late and just got home now, so I had a vanilla Chobani with my nectarine that was on its last leg, but tasted great and some Special K Vanilla Almond mixed in. I was still hungry after that, like STARVING hungry so I had some peanuts and more cantaloupe. I hate going from zero to crazy hungry in no time. Now I am relaxing and waiting to see if my friend and I are still going out tonight. I may be back later tonight either drunk or sober to update :) If not see everyone in the morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Friday!

Sunburned Saturday!!

Hello everyone! I thought today was supposed to be a nice cool fall day but boy was I wrong! It all started this morning, I was up at 6:30!!!!! For no reason at all, I was not a happy camper. I decided since I was up I might as well be productive so I started to clean up the kitchen as quietly as I could, since Adam was asleep. He woke up about 15 minutes later because he thought there was something wrong. (NOPE I'M JUST A SPAZ!!)

I then made up some coffee and went to shower while he made his breakfast, today was eggs and Canadian bacon. I tried a bite of each, but I had brought over my cottage cheese and bagel to my parents house to have while I did my laundry today. So around 10 I started to trek over to the parents house. It was gorgeous out! I was in heaven it was the perfect day to be sitting out at the field for Joe's game.

Once at the parents I toasted up half my bagel and spread a pretty good amount of the whipped cottage cheese on it and put some sugar free preserves on top. ( took the picture after a few bites.. oopps) I had it on a Barney plate from when Joe was little!! hahahhaha

I also tried some Pasta E Fagolio my dad had made, it was amazing of course ;) about a half hour before we were leaving for the game I toasted up the other yummy half of my onion bagel and put more cottage cheese and jelly on. I was so full!! I had also been snacking on grapes while helping mom upload pictures of the house after the girls decorated.

The game was fun except the sun was BLAZING HOT! My sunburn is horrible! I have the worst sunglass burn in the whole world!! I'd take a picture but its too embarrassing! hahaha

Adam came and got me after the game, Manasquan won 3-0!! woohooo

We then came home and I set off to bake some of these tasty treats! http://viveleveganrecipes.blogspot.com/2006/01/homestyle-chocolate-chip-cookies.html They came out very tasty, I made Adam try one straight out of the oven. I also had a bite and ofcourse some of the cookie dough :)

I'm now sitting and relaxing trying to cool off still from the sun, I took another shower and it was painful. oh well.. next time SUNBLOCK!!!

see you for dinner! hope your having a great Saturday!!

here's a picture of the tree in front of the parents house that was tp'd for todays game! there's also a ton of signs all over the house saying they love Joe!! awww :-D

LAST WEEKEND OF THE BENNIES UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!

Ok so this is the last weekend of "summer" technically. It means the beaches and towns will finally be free of all the vacationers!! Alot has been said about the bennies by a mayor of a certain town.. So I think its good that summer is over and hopefully things can go back to "normal" well atleast until next Memorial Day. I really don't mind the out of towners, It is always enjoyable to watch the diferent people (since I'm a big people watcher) It was actually very quite up at the beach last night which suprised Adam and I greatly! Today isn't so nice at the Jersey Shore and the party for Adam's cousin/my highschool senior english teacher is postponed until tomorrow. That means today is gym/laundry day! My funfilled Saturday late morning/early afternoon :-D
Oh I also forgot to add that last night I had one of my supercharge me cookies while reading some blogs and relaxing on the couch with Adam :)

For breakfast this morning I had half of a multigrain bagel with black sesame seeds toasted with margarine and one half with sugar free raspberry jelly. I also had some cantalope and my usual mug o coffee! Adam was nice and shared a bite of porkroll and egg with me too! What a good fiance. I'm now looking up some recipes then I'll be off to burn off some energy/calories at the gym!


I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
