Longy Long Run

July 18th, 2009 | Posted by Alison in Fitness - (7 Comments)

15 miles? Done! Phew. Shawn, one of Zak’s college buddies up front in the red there, is my running partner. He’s training for a triathlon and we’re debating on doing the Rochester Marathon together, but his tri is a week after the marathon and he’s trying to convince me to do the Corning Wineglass Marathon … Read more

A Real Job

July 17th, 2009 | Posted by Alison in Dinner Time - (7 Comments)

I’ve sat at my desk today all today like the old days when I had a “real job”. I broke for lunch and ate at my desk. When we’re child free here, not a single second can be wasted. A giant salad made up of just about every vegetable in my fridge. Red leaf, green … Read more

Zoo Day

July 16th, 2009 | Posted by Alison in Dinner Time - (8 Comments)

After my physics review this morning, I ate my chocolate breakfast cookie in my underwear whilst running around the house like a mad woman trying to get kids dressed, lunches packed and get us out the door on time to meet my girlfriend Sharon and her gang. That’s quite a picture I just painted. And … Read more

More Experiments

I didn’t really intend for today to be a day full of experiments, but who doesn’t want to want to be a their own lab rat? I mean really. We met our friends at the park and had a neat activity planned that all the kids loved, including mine. Clear as mud, no? We had … Read more

Meeting called to order: 9:30 AM All present: Yours truly. New Business: After my fruit buzz wore off this morning, I tried something new with oatmeal for Breakfast Part III. Or I guess it really started last night. I found oat groats at a local health food store and decided I’d try to make some … Read more

You’ll Drool Too

A lunch time mess. But worth it for a masterpiece! I mean come on, would you scold Michelangelo about paint brushes and paint cans everywhere as he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? Would you tell Da Vinci to “clean as he goes” while he worked on the Mona Lisa? I think not. I … Read more

A Salad as Big as My Head

June 9th, 2009 | Posted by Alison in Short or Sweet - (6 Comments)

See? I’m not kidding! I ate the whole dang thing! It was exactly the same as yesterday’s apple, tofu, cashew, feta, miso salad but with mushrooms today too. Maxine helped with today’s afternoon snack: Magenta Monsters. Magenta would be Maxine’s new favorite color. I don’t know how magenta these really were but we rolled with … Read more

What a Crock

June 8th, 2009 | Posted by Alison in Dinner Time - (6 Comments)

For lunch today I made one of my favorite salads. Red leaf lettuce, spinach, 3/4 of a large Gala apple, chopped (I ate the other 1/4 while I prepped) some tomato and basil feta cheese, cubes of extra firm tofu and a few cashews. Everything into a large bowl, then I added 2 Tbsp of … Read more
