Playing Nurse Q

I've been gone too long. Everytime I get into the swing of things with blogging and writing, something comes up.


Q's Bed and Breakfast is going to be shut down this weekend and I don't care who wants to visit. I'm exhausted and enough is enough. With M's family-owned business we get a lot of family visitors in and out which is great, but he's had a fever for four days and I've been taking care of him. I'm beat. Just exhausted and tired.


I hate getting out of my daily routines. It makes me a crazy person. Sure I like to live on the edge and be spontaneous but I can't do that when I'm tired and things aren't getting done. Plus I like to be productive at work (well not at lunch time lol).


I've been cooking soups (thank you CrockPot) which I've prepared when stopping in at lunch to check on M. Cleaning half-ass-style. Trying to give Maia as much attention as possible  (more on her first day at daycare later haha). And last night we spent a few hours in the ER because M's so dehydrated. Everytime  he asks for food I make it. Then he's not hungry. You should see the kitchen. Wait... maybe not. It's not pretty.


Oh... little brother scored his 1,000th point last night and last week he got a McDonald's All-American award. He's ranked #3 in NH. I'm so happy for him. I couldn't make it for the celebration last night and can't make senior night tonight. We all know graduation is the most important though ;)


I'll have some updates and pictures this weekend hopefully. I go picture happy and I get mad when I can't share them.


Back to work now. Miss y'all!

Have I Gone 'Cooking Mad'??

Eating in moderation is something I’ve been trying to control a bit better lately. It’s so easy to say “Eh, I’ll just have  a grilled BLT” at lunch. And the hardest thing is that I act on impulse probably about 50% of the time and about 100% of that activity is having to do with eating or drinking. I love my food and I love my drinks. I love to eat different foods and try different things and I love restaurants (even though I’ve cut back since now having my own kitchen to cook in). 

havingcompany+havingyourownkitchen+lovingtocook+havingleftovers= gainingweight:(

Well... my weekend involved having company... again. What can I say? We like to entertain. We like to have guests. We know a lot of people. Sometimes that's a bad thing, sometimes it's a good thing.

I got two wisdom teeth out on Saturday morning and came right home with gauze still in my mouth and cut up veggies and threw some frozen chicken into the crock pot, set it for four hours, took pain killers and passed out on the couch. The runny nose began and my cold finally hit its peak. FML. Seriously.

I ate my soup, with Maia all up in my bowl. LML. Then went back into the kitchen to make my banana pudding. What’s wrong with me? Can’t I just sit down and let myself heal? Apparently not.

While I wrapped up the last stages and gave my whipping arm a rest I had one of these...

Why does my life always end up this way?? Hmm?? ;)

A friend of ours had a birthday celebration and I originally said I’d go. Then realized I should probably stay home and let my mouth unswell. With painkillers I was fine so we went out. We were supposed to bowl but Kings was packed. We played pool and had a couple of drinks. By the end of the night they were ready to bowl at 12am. Our lane was ready. I was ready for bed. We took off and hit the sack.

M had work the next morning and I slept until 10:15am. This is sooo not me. I was up all night sneezing and coughing and blowing my nose. Maia gave me the stink-eye a few times. She hates me sometimes haha. M’s parents were coming by so I knew that I needed to get up clean the entire house and go grocery shopping. I came back cleaned some more (because I’m a psycho) and got to making tacos and a spinach bread bowl in a marble bread bowl (sour dough and pumpernickel). Good stuff.

While I sat and had a glass of water (with my crazy ass self), Maia proceeded to continue to bite her fingernails. She’s sharpening them. I don’t know maybe she’s planning to kill me in my sleep or something. Psycho dog I have. Look at these claws.. why!!

Look at those nails. I had to cut them again this morning. She WILL be going to the doctor's this Saturday for her annual exam and hopefully we can check out a couple of doggy daycares in the area. This little lady needs to get off her hiney and mingle. She needs a man! Haha.

So anyways, instead of going home and having a "stress relaxer" aka "a glass of wine", I’ve made this my first night of BodyRock.tv. Zuzana Light is just insane with her workouts. I’ve decided to take it slow but this year getting in shape for summer does not need to be an option. It’s a goal that I’ve set extremely high for myself. I used to be a basketball and volleyball player. The past 9 years I’ve turned into a slob. I have no energy and I’m exhausted. It’s time for a change.

Happy Humpday!

Dinner for One

I've got the worst cold I've probably ever had. Mostly because of the sore throat. I honestly think that the infection in my wisdom tooth may have caused the sire throat. It happened go a friend of mine. I don't even really eat sweets! Like hardly ever! I think I just didn't have te best teeth to begin with. A nice smile and white teeth doesn't always mean they're healthy ;) come on... I know I have nice teeth...


See!! Hahaha I had to. Okay it's not really me with Travis Garland, it's my face in the hole of a cheerleader via www.faceinhole.com :) I love it!

I received a sweet-ass Xmas gift from a good friend last night. We had Margaritas and caught up.


How cool is this?! Haha she knows that I absolutely love social media (hence the name SociallyGreen). I love my Twitter!!! @SociallyGreen baby!

Today I tried to stick with light food. I had a salad and yogurt. I live Fit&Light... But then... I saw one of the top ingredients is ASPERTAME!!! Gag!! There's like no way to keep healthy and keep bad things out of my body. I was so proud of myself too. I guess I should have stayed with the Oikos. Mental note to add that to this weekend's shopping trip! Also, every try GlassLock containers?? Are these things not te shizzle fo-shizzle? I love throwing them in the dishwasher and not having to worry about food stains or leaks. I need to but more since I only have two.


M basically went to eat at a Spanish restaurant for dinner... THEN came home, said he wasn't hungry, so I was left to fend for my sick self :( I'm giving him hell for this lol.


Completely devoured this! Now time for tea and Desperate Housewives season two. M's obsessed. PS- you didn't hear that from me! ;)

Night!
