Ok, ok I’m still alive @nikki-massie!!! Life for me for at least the last month has been more than crazy and stressful. My mother-in-law’s 2 surgeries, finding out the problem with the atrophy in my right hand and that it cannot be reversed but surgery will stop the progression, surgery scheduled for December 20 (yeah, right before Christmas),…[Read more]

Ok I can be accused of letting self-doubt get the better of me and I started avoiding this site like the plague because the lack of activity, frankly, makes me feel like a failure. Well…enough of that. I started this site because I wanted a place dedicated to accountability, which includes holding MYSELF accountable. So here I am. And I am…[Read more]

Last week was nuts and I didn’t ever check in, but hopefully, I’m back on track now!

I just got through joining Good Measures and am waiting to find out what happens next. I assume that some time in the next couple of days, I’ll hear from them.

Today is my catch up on the house day. Things got away from me last week.(not that I actually had hold…[Read more]

This week will be a interesting one. Hopefully we’ll hear back from my husband’s job interview this week, it although could be next week.

My plans are to try to get my closet cleaned out and move on from there.

Meal-wise, I’m struggling. A lot. So, I think come tomorrow morning I’m going to join Good Measures. I have to do something to turn…[Read more]

I’ve been a bit hit and miss checking in this week. I’ll try to do better.

I don’t even know what to say. Life is changing around here and it’s hard to keep up. My husband has an interview with the other location in Greenville on Tuesday. If he gets a position there, it sounds like they’re going to want him to start before the first of the year.…[Read more]

Monday! Let’s get this party started.

So firstly, I did not get everything done that I wanted to this weekend. Sigh. And in reality it was laziness. I just didn’t feel like it. So I’m going to break stuff up into smaller pieces. I need to start prepping the house for the holidays. I’ve got yard stuff. Dog stuff. It’s a lot!

For today, I’m going…[Read more]

Preparation and organization. Those will be my theme words for the remainder of the year!

Food prep this week:  as I type this, I am sitting in the parking lot of the grocery store. I’m going to go get fixings to make crockpot mushroom chicken and I’ll serve it over cauliflower rice and that will be my lunches for this week. Later today I’ll…[Read more]

I will be continuing to clean out the house and will start packing up some stuff. Like the inside of the China cabinet.

I’m also going to continue to do dinner planning. That worked well last week. I will also start planning lunches.

Today was a pretty chill day. Went to Trader Joe’s to get riced cauliflower stuffing (see video on BF Facebook page), came home, putzed around the house and now am waiting on dinner to cook while watching a movie with the kid.

B: a slice of toast + 2 fried eggs

L: Uhhhh…I guess it was riced cauliflower stuffing with sausage

D: Will be…[Read more]

Today is FIELD TRIP DAY!

Im going to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC. And all by myself too. That’s a big deal because I’m an extrovert. I never do stuff by myself lol.

I’m taking the commuter train down there and public transport to get to the museum. I’ll treat myself to a light breakfast at Union Station…[Read more]
