On this date in history?
I'm not sure how to title this entry so you'll just have to read it and decide if you're interested!
Today was a very special day for me - one of those life milestones, I suppose. Today, for the very first time, my Mom got to see my house in person! :-) She hasn't been over to Yakima since probably before April, so... several months ago. It was like a coming of age party, giving her the grand tour inside, showing her my flowers outside, and how I've decorated things. The grand finale was dinner, which I cooked. Ok so that wasn't 'just like momma fixed it', but everyone said it was good and it smelled heavenly. (Mexican Lasagne) I set the table with the fancy dishes, red tablecloth, and the silverware I got from my grandma and aunt for my high school graduation (only 10+ yrs ago).... it was as I said before, a very special day.
Bottom line - mom approved! Hooray! Whew!

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food! (I have officially turned in my Mom)!  It is all buffet but GOOD buffet!  Rolls, soups, multiple salads, cheese board, multiple hot side dishes, and then two or three entries, one always carved with a sauce.  Last night was ham. Oh, and dessert! 3 different choices last night: coconut flan, carrot cake, and chocolate walnut pie. This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
