What Valentines Day looks like 26 yrs later :)

Sam: Happy Valentines Day, I got you a little something.
Me: Wow! TWO roll of painters tape. You shouldn't have. And this is for you.
Sam: A bacon press! How did you know?
Me: Um, because you picked it out at the store and bought it yesterday.
Sam: I love you.
Me: Love you too.

Back on the Low Carb Train

Dieting SUCKS ASS!!!! Yep that just about says it all. It would be nice if I could eat everything I wanted and looked like a super model. But then you figure in all the unlimited amounts of cocaine, and yada yada yada rail thin super model person with a nasal surgery in their future.

That would not be me. So long story short, back to the low carb diet. Yes I have tried every diet known to man, and this is what works for me. I feel better and the pounds do come off. Hopefully this time I will drink enough water to prevent kidney stones.

Anyway this is an awesome recipe for No Noodle Lasagna. Enjoy!

The Bitch is Back!

Ok, so I have been gone a while. I really can't believe it has been over a year. So to catch up on a few things.

Andrew and Courtney Married April 3, 2010

Sam and I went to San Francisco in September 2010

Ok there is a bunch of other stuff but it is taking way too long to down load pictures!

Ok so what am I up to now? Well I am still taking pictures, but I learned that I am NOT a sales person and sometimes hobbies should remain just that! I love photography but the truth be known, I will not be making a living at it. So back to nursing I go. I have the most wonderful job ever. I am working in Interventional Radiology and love every minute of it. Besides the paychecks, I really miss my patients. Life is good. Kate is a Senior, Andrew is happily married, and Justin is in his second go round of pharmedic school and living back at mi casa. Sam, of coarse, is still just as perfect as ever! Excuse me while I stick my finger down my throat. Seriously, how can one person be so perfect?

Whatever, so away we go folks!
