I guess this year’s pollen allergies are starting very early. It’s been announced that pollen this year is going to be stronger than ever. It’s amazing because we were still having some winter days and all of a sudden we jumped to summer. These past few days have been in the high 70’s and felt somewhat like in the mid 80’s, but with all that pollen in the air it does get quite miserable.
I already pulled out my inhaler a few times and I’m already running low so I have to get to my primary doctor’s office soon so I can get some prescription allergy medication and a refill on my albuterol.
Needless to say, whether its 0 degrees and winter or 90 degrees and summer, you can’t ever win because there’s always something that will make you sick. Of course I don’t mind the great weather regardless of my allergies!
ALLERGY SEASON!
Special K Diet Vs Chinese noodles
I have been doing the Kellog’s Special K with Berries diet. I have to say I’ve lasted longer than I would’ve trusted myself to, but of course I always have my crazy obstacles that kind of throw me off my road of success.
Those obstacles being; my friends and of course family and social events that happen in between. I kind of drifted off the diet for a couple of days and began another fresh week this week. Then this morning Rachel decides to order Chinese food and guess what?!
I ordered Angel hair with Crab Ragoons. It was so delicious and to tell you the truth I didn’t eat the whole thing. I mean they give you a whole bunch almost to serve five or six people so I am happy to say that I did save some for later or maybe tomorrow. I could’ve said no, but I didn’t. What’s done is done right?! Now I wish I had big cup of coffee to wake me up from those hidden MSG they pretend not to use.
I noticed on this picture I got at Google that you can crush the cereal and put it as a yummy topping for your Ice Cream. It's really good you really should try it. It's great too because it's not a fattening toppings like jimmies or gummies and all those fun not so good toppings we're used to.
Have you tried a Mojito yet?!
How about the Mojito alchoholic drink?! Have any of you tried this incredibly delicious drink? I mean it is so good that you can have just about 4-5 of them and not realize it. I love the spearmint flavor it just gives you this refreshing feeling while you’re sipping on it.
It’s definitely a great drink for those hot summer days, but do be careful because after all it is an alcoholic beverage. I don’t want you passing out somewhere, hahahah.
Anyways, try it because I know you will absolutely love it! It’s almost like having an iced tea with alcohol in it, but please do not compare it to the Long Island iced tea, this one is so much better.
Ok here's the Mojito Recipe:
Bacardi Mojito (say 'mohito,' and enjoy!)
An easy mojito recipe to liven up your evening:1.5 oz BACARDI Rum12 fresh spearmint leaves1/2 lime7 oz club soda2 tbsp. simple syrup(or 4 tsp. sugar)
Pizzelle Italian Cookie
I think I ate almost two packs of Pizzelle cookies. I got myself the Anise flavored ones and they are just so yummy. I had like one pack in the morning and promised I wouldn’t have anymore, but come the afternoon I couldn’t resist the temptation and opened up a new pack.
Of course there’s nothing like fresh homemade ones. My friend Melissa makes them at home and of course those are 100% better. I mean anything you make at home makes such a difference.
I went online and found the recipe to the Pizzelle which of course Melissa has already since she does these every now and then especially on holidays and family events.
I need a Day at the Spa
I haven’t had a Pedicure or Manicure in a while now and I could really feel it on my feet. I seriously have to go hopefully this weekend and have this taken care of. I really have never gone more than 2 months without taking care of these things, but I guess it’s the cold weather which doesn’t motivate me much.
Tomorrow the girls have Dental appointments and after that I drop off Yessie at her job in Newton so I’m thinking of taking care of manners. I might even indulge in a massage or something. These days the way work is going, I truly need a day at the Spa.
How long do people really go off on having both a Pedicure and a Manicure because I seriously think I’ve really neglected myself? How do people do it in the winter days? I feel as though it’s my hibernation period and this is why things got out of hand.
Three Iced Lattes in One DAY!
Today I spent the day waiting for my uncle’s cat that was at the Vet getting a small procedure done. Could you believe that I had three Iced Lattes while waiting?! I couldn’t believe it myself, but I did when I began feeling somewhat hyper in the middle of the day.
We took Oreo, my uncle’s cat to an animal clinic over in Billerica and I’m very happy with the outcome. He did incredibly well and he’s home now recovering from anesthesia. I hope he heals quick and efficiently.
Anyways, I liked Billerica allot, can you believe they have a Market Basket in every corner?! I mean friends, every corner we ran into there was a Market Basket. I guess people really love to go food shopping out there. We even stopped at one and did a little shopping while we waited.
Did I just enjoy Strawberries?
I’m not really a fan of Strawberries, but let me just explain that the Strawberries I just had this afternoon were incredible! These things were so sweet and juicy words cannot express.
Anyways, I been trying to be really good, but there’s always those folks who try and persuade you to eat junk. Those are my fellow co-workers who are always sneaking around candy and flashing it in your face.
I must say, I do bring tons of candy to have available at my desk for my patients, but I hardly dig my hands into the bowl. I usually try and grab the stuff I hardly would go for this way I won’t be tempted. I have to say it’s definitely a great idea because I have stuff for my patients, but I won’t fall into the temptation.
I do have to get myself to go on the treadmill tonight because seriously. All the hard work you do in a week and it only takes a few candies to ruin it all.
So now even though I had those amazing Strawberries and felt as though I was doing so great, I feel as though I failed myself after eating the chocolate Bunny Rabbit which was left over from Easter candy!
