I know I have been gone for awhile. The laptop was acting up with the wireless adapter and Frankie's laptop died. Blue screen of death then wouldn't even reset to factory settings... So Frankie and I bought little netbooks. We love them... I love it because it is so easy to just put in the bag and take to my Board Meetings. So light! The only downsize is that it isn't optimized for game play so I haven't been able to play my farmville or mafia wars etc on facebook. I know terrible right?! I think I am at the end of the withdrawal period. LOL

Today I finally made a quiche. Monkey asked me to make one because the name sounds cool. So I thought I would surprise her and Frankie with a nice spinach quiche. I did cheat and not make my own crust. I used packaged crust.. I do need to get better with that. I have a recipe that my friend pointed out to me for Mini Apple Pies that I am dying to make...

I am still such a baby with heat... I swear if I had my way I would still live up in Massachusetts. This heat has even affected my sleep. I find that I get the best sleep in the living room with the a/c vent and two fans blowing straight on me... For some reason the a/c vent in the bedroom does not blow as well as the one in the living room. Thea/c unit is less than a year old. The duct work was checked and we were told it was fine.. But obviously there is an issue somewhere.

Today Monkey, my baby, is registering for high school. I can't believe that she is going to be a freshman... She is talking about going to the University of Tampa (I know she is not even in high school yet but this child young woman knows what she wants). She is planning on getting into the Honor Program so she can do a semester abroad at Oxford University in England. At the high school she will be attending they have to pick a major. She is picking Language Arts. Like her momma she loves English.

Halloween 2010 in FL.

I was talking to my little friend in MA. last night. She said she was freezing while she was trick or treating... I WISH! It was 89 degrees and humid here. But the children seemed to enjoy themselves. Mads, B, and The Monkey.


New Eats
We have decided that since we enjoy being vegetarian so much that we are going to try a vegan diet. We are going to be trying to follow the book
Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes without Drugs
Even though we don't have Diabetes. We have really wanted to cut a lot of the excess fat out of our diet and this book is working great for my father (who has Type 2 diabetes). Today is Day one of this style. It is pretty neat. The book talks about getting rid of things such as oils, butter, all eggs, milk etc... It will take a little to get used to it but I am sure that it will be great!

Tonight's supper will be soy churrizo with vegetables, onions and garlic over brown rice.

On a side note- the other night I tried on a pair of pants that were two sizes smaller than the ones I have been wearing and... THEY FIT!
