Tor.com Book Club
Did you know that Tor.com gives away a free ebook each month? All you need to do is sign up for their newsletter (and they don't send these out but once or twice a month, so it's not annoying! ;-D). Then, at the first of each month, they'll send out a newsletter with the link. The ebook is only available for a week, so you have to act on it ( Read more... ) -

Returned 2 days ago from a Disneyland trip with the grandboys. We had fun! Weather was pretty cold the first day but got better as the days went on. Grandboy #2 got to ride Indiana Jones for the 1st time (he's a short guy and there's a height requirement) and he liked it--after almost not going because he was scared. He also rode the Matterhorn ( Read more... ) -
Hidden Figures
You guys. This movie. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it right now. It serves as a reminder of how people can let stupidity overrule their conscience and hearts. It's a reminder of how far we've come. It's reminder that no one should ever be put into a box and forced to settle for the status quo. Especially if you're a woman under forty, ( Read more... ) -
Today I yoga'ed and felt better!
Yoga-ing:The mornings have been rough lately. My weight dropped again and I've been working *really* hard at trying to gain, but it's just not working. Mornings I feel depleted and when I do eat, it's like my body doesn't know what to do with the food. I end up weepy and depressed. And this is after yesterday, when I felt strong and like I was ( Read more... ) -
Meatballs!
Here's an easy meatball recipe. These are one of my new go-to favorites. Not only are they easy to make, they taste great and they're perfect for freezing. I make them up, eat some one night, then throw the rest in a ziploc bag and put in the freezer for quick lunches/snacks. It only takes a minute on the microwave defrost cycle and then 30 ( Read more... ) -
Coconut Cranberry Bites
I tried the Coconut-Cranberry Bites. They're pretty good. I've never been a big fan of coconut, but it's growing on me (at least I don't HATE it like I used to!) ;-D

Eye tic!
Ugh! Woke this morning with a jumping nerve in one eye. Not as bad as I've had them before as far as frequency of the tic, but stronger in intensity, so that when it does happen, it feels like it's pulling my eye downward at the inner corner and I lose focus out of that eye. Annoying! Thank goodness it only happens maybe once a hour or half hour ( Read more... ) -
Cast Iron Pans
I've got a new obsession -- cast iron pans, especially frying pans. Two reasons ( Read more... ) -

So far, this week, I have done ALL the things. Pretty sure. Prednisone really is a wonder drug. If only it didn't have tons of side effects. ;-D ( Read more... ) -
AIP (Auto Immune Protocol) Diet
So. For those following along (and also, not sure how much I've disclosed), I've been battling a nasty case of UC (ulcerative colitis) for the past nine months. And this follows a previous 3+ year span of battling diverticulitis, for which I had a bowel resection in Fall of 2014. My gut and I are not friends at this point. I can't get it under ( Read more... )
