Im a big fan of frozen fruit :) I get the bags of frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) and let it thaw a little bit, and then dig in. :) Sweet tooth fixed!!

Granted its "leftover" and therefore, cooked, shred it up and use it for tacos :)

OMG ME TOO!! Lol Only Im 37 :)

I'll usually send a little note like "Hi, I read where you said XXXXXX and it was funny/made sense/inspiring! Let's be friends!" Its not a huge deal to start a conversation with someone you'd like to get to know...

bumpity bump bump bump :)

Girl scout cookies are the devil... ESPECIALLY SAMOAS!!

Definitely Hibachi or Mongolian BBQ. Sweet baby Jesus, I could never get tired of those.

My babies are in my ticker. The carmel one is Carlos and the white puppy is Frankie, and they are both 2 years old. Their birthdays are a month apart and yes, we celebrate and they get extra treats at their birthday parties. Hahahaha They are long haired chihuahuas and my fierce little protectors. :) I lubbbb my puppies…

I slice up cooked steak, pork chops, chicken, whatever into strips and freeze them. Later I thaw them and put them in salads (cold) and its yummy. I also use plastic containers and freeze soup portions, left over spaghetti and sauce, pretty much anything that I cook from fresh (don't cook frozen vegetables and freeze and…

Ive been working out at home, but my new gym membership I got for Christmas (early gift) won't kick in until January. I'm not looking forward to getting the 3rd degree look from gym regulars, but I know its coming... You know, that "oh nice to see you, you wont last a month". Joke's on them though. :)

I LOVE GOOD READS!! Im MdmAcolyte there too :)

I used to work at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and its right next door to the Anheuser Busch brewery and I used to love the days when I'd drive into the parking lot and the smell of hops was in the air... oh drool... Note: Love the smell, not the beer. Plain old Budweiser makes me barf. Lol

Me and my BFF are total beer snobs. We love micro brews and imports mostly ~ XoXo

I drink unsweet tea throughout the day and I count it as water (since there's nothing else in it).

My son runs a server ~ http://www.knethrea.com/ He tries to explain Minecraft to me and I just can't seem to follow it, but he's crazy about it and lots of people seem to really like his server, so check it out. :)

Im all about a whole chicken. Toss that sucker in the crockpot for a day and bake it and have chicken for dinner one night. Shred the rest of the meat off and you have chicken for tacos, a casserole, or bbq sandwiches. Take the leftover carcass and toss it back in the crock pot, cover it with water, and make stock for…

Im always open to hanging out with my MFP pals ~ some live in my town, some are my IRL friends Ive dragged over here with me... and some should just meet me halfway :) Bar's open! Lol

I know how you feel... And that's why Im working to go back to roller coastering next summer too :) Don't beat yourself up. We didnt get here in a day, and its not gonna go away in a day, but lots of us are making due and making it through.

^^^ I need to start doing this... Wow, I never thought to add milk!!

Yeah, I had a manual treadmill and I HATED it... LIke, I gave it away I hated it so much because I'd have felt bad selling it to someone. You get more options for speed and incline on an electric model, and that will be my next purchase.

I keep it at 72 in my house year round.

^^^ I love this!!

Awesome work Ladybug!! You look great! Enjoy your cruise with some extra light in your step :)

Great topic and great advice! I have this same problem too!

I'm always in need of something crunchy/crispy... This week, I've kept a small bag of Grandma Utz's handcooked potato chip in my drawer and I reach in and get a few chips throughout the day to get that crunchy chip craving out of the way. Last week I was having sweet cravings, so I kept a bag of Dum Dum lollipops in my…

I like the post-it note... I can always use Vodka, lighters, milk, and ice cream... Lol

I let myself be sad for ONE DAY and ONE DAY ONLY. After that, its a brief re-visit to my 5 year plan, review my list of what I want in a relationship, and then back on to greener pastures. :) You can't love anyone else until you love yourself ~ so take care of YOU first and everything else will fall into place in due time.

I had a boyfriend once who showed up one day and brought me a bike and said he wanted to go cycling with me. It got me moving! Maybe the same approach would work with your wife? Start off small with "let's start taking walks together after dinner with/without the kids." Start making dates to do activities together. It…

Awww, there is hope! I was 250 lbs and doing online dating and I met some really great guys, two I ended up getting serious with, and one I just married in June. It can be scary getting out there, and you will meet some jerks along the way, but if you are honest and you know what you are looking for, you can find it. Take…

Bookworm check in ;) I have a new-to-me Kindle Fire and I love it. Im currently reading The Medium by C.J. Archer (I got it free from Amazon). My tastes are pretty eclectic. If you are on GoodReads I'm MdmAcolyte over there too. :) Happy page-turning!
