My work has incentives for completing health related tasks, so I went and completed a biometric screening. For the first time I can remember, as an adult I am totally healthy in every aspect. My BMI (which I think is stupid) is fully in the healthy range, my cholesterol and blood pressure are good. I am all WOOT, WOOT let me sashay my skinny ass outta here!

I've been trying new recipes out the wazoo, but still using good old fave easy dinners to supplement in an effort to stay on budget. So, we have spag & turkey meatballs once a week, tacos of some sort once a week, and a few new recipes thrown in for fun. What are some of your go-to weeknight dinners?

I try to find any excuse to go to Costco, just because I love it so much. I bought a flannel shirt there and LOVE it! It is sooo soft, has pearl snap buttons, and fits well, but loose which I like for layering. Costco for the win! Do you have anything you can't live without at Costco?

I started watching the show WAGS and sometimes am a little ashamed of myself for actually DVRing that show it is so bad. No joke. All of these women seem to be desperately trying to be relevant.

What's been making you smile lately?

Fall Recipe Round Up

Fall is the time that I like comfort food and to use easy, quick recipes as much as possible. I also like to cook reasonably healthy in an effort to not get too "fluffy" since I feel like hibernating when it starts to get dark and cold. I thought I'd share some easy recipes that are perfect for the fall weather.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was filled with sports for me. We had tickets to the Royals for both Saturday and Sunday, which was a great way to spend a 3 day weekend! 

Saturday nights tailgate. We mostly just sat and drank, which I like since I am generally the cook. After the game, we had McD's with no shame.

Gabriel likes to make fun of my selfie stick, but it takes such GREAT pictures! I even take it into the game, which gets awesome views of the field. 

This one wasn't even taken with the selfie stick :) I love that G is starting to get into taking pictures. Well, I should say I love that he's starting to not be pissy about it, because I have a feeling he will never be into taking photos. 

View from our seats! It was an awesome game, but we did lose. 

On Sunday morning, G struggled just a little. We got up ate breakfast, then he laid back down with the boxers prior to meeting up with K & K for the Sunday 1:10 game. 

Sunday afternoon game. It was SUPER hot outside and we were sweating balls. Thank goodness, our seats were in the Diamond Club so we were able to sit in the shade and have a breeze. 

Poppin pinkies in the Diamond Club. You gotta be classy when you're in the Diamond Club. You can tell how hot it was by the fact we are all drinking frozen drinks to cool down. Again, the Royals lost. WTF, Royals?! 

What all were you up to this weekend?

Late to the Show

So, I know I am late to the show, but I gotta ask did anyone even watch the VMAs? I'm seeing all this bull about Miley and Nicki Minaj, Miley and her trying to be black (like that's new news), and Miley's stank ass outfits...

The entire world is thinking the same thing, Billy. 

Miley, we all want to bitch slap you. Just sayin'. 

Don't worry Tay, I'm real bad at math too. 

I would like to know why the Biebs has the Kate Gosselin? And why did his bitch ass cry when performing? 

If you want to see the funniest article, here where et online has summarized all the burning questions and paired them with the best gifs on the interwebz.  

My real question is, why do the Video Music Awards even happen on MTV?

 MTV doesn't even show videos! 

Did you watch? What was your fave part?
