10-31 Have a Spooktacular day!

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday. 
 I'm on Vacation today. (It's a good state of mind) 

Although one of these giant inflatable heads look like a lot of fun!

10-30 Stocking the freezer

My my taste buds came back for the weekend and I'm looking ahead to next week so I decided to cook while I have the time. 
In the oven as I write;
Sliced and peeled Granny Smith Apples (I'm not allowed raw fruit or veg) 
Sweet Potato Quinoa Cakes (2 of my favorite super foods combined and easily freezable) 
recipe here; http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/2010/10/health-starts-here-sweet-potato-quinoa-cakes/
Crunchy Quinoa Cereal.  recipe here:http://ohsheglows.com/2010/02/06/homemade-crunchy-maple-quinoa-cereal/

If you haven't tried quinoa yet please do! I also enjoy it as a hot breakfast cereal (think of cooking it like you would oatmeal and adding toppings) 
My parents left some whole milk in the fridge and it's brewing away in a warm spot and will be yogurt by bedtime. 

10-29 Thanks Val!

My sister, Valerie, sent me a goodie bag in the mail. Cute pink t-shirt, a pink ribbon cookie cutter, some cookies already made and the recipe for Grammy Bricks's Cream Cheese cut out cookies (they are awesome) Thanks Val!

I used some chicken stock to make Avgolemono; Greek Lemon Chicken Soup. Better than plain old stock which I was NOT drinking every day as prescribed. 


A few of us got together last night to design our t-shirts for the Komen Walk in 2 weeks. We ruined only one T trying to figure out the iron on decal and that's ok because now it is my practice T for the puffy paint and trying out the addition of ribbons and decorating the edges. 

10-27 New Hat

New Hat. 

Winter colors but still lightweight for Austin weather. Cool front today with a high of 67* :) 

Got this at Parker Wigs on Anderson Lane http://parkerserenitywigspa.com/

Thank you Diane for the gift certificate!

10-28 I have a crush

I have a crush on my opthomologist. He gives me goodie bags full of  samples and promised me a medicine that will help my eyelashes grow in faster and fuller after my treatments are done. 


He squeezed me in for a visit this afternoon because I've been tearing constantly the past 2 days. He had to go back into the tear ducts and flush them out  like last time. . First the offer of botox for my eye- lid spasms and now lash grower....this man could have a sideline in  aesthetics. 

10-26 Happy Wednesday

Looking for a good design to "Bling" our T-shirts for the Komen walk on the 13th. Bought some iron on transfer paper that you use with an inkjet printer, hoping it is as easy as the directions  look. 
Michael is off today and taking the parents to Franklin's BBQ. This is the trailer  that is getting all the reviews for best BBQ in Austin in the past few months.

10-25

Made it back to yoga last night. The beginner class felt like an advanced workout this time around but it was good to stretch and loosen up some muscles and more importantly stretch my brain.
Side effects: the hits keep coming, the list is getting longer and I won't bore you with the details.  Cut back at work to about 30 hours last week. Looking forward to a morning in January or February when I might wake up and feel "normal" again.
