Just a girl trying to have a cheap (HA!) doable wedding in New York City that does not give in to the Wedding Industrial Complex and won't bankrupt us. We like funky and fun and non-traditional!

Abstinence is Forever? Buh-bye Caffiene…

So when I had mentioned my new food change to one of my sisters, she said something about not wanting to diet and she just needed to get off her ass. This is not a diet.  This is a permanent change of diet.  Also, although Jonathan still sometimes has carbs (he makes them when I [...]

Sugar is Killing Us

Well, I am at least a 1/4 of the way to becoming a nutritional biochemistry expert.  Ha!  Not remotely – that distinction belongs to Jonathan’s good friend, Erica.  (When I say things like, “Is she your BESTIE?  For EVER? Like BBFL?” he rolls his eyes.  Sometimes he has no sense of humor…) Anyhow, E

How Food Choices Have Changed

So yesterday I wrote this, It’s Been Too Long!  New Post!, about my new doctor and stuff blah blah.  When I told my family, because insulin resistance is genetic and if I were a betting person I’d say it comes from my dad’s side of the family, when I told…wait, that is a run on, [...]

It’s been TOO long! New Post!

Oh my, so much has happened! Well, not really.  Mostly I am in graduate school, slogging away, but here is something that DID happen: I went to the doctor and must now follow a major MAJOR life change. Since Jonathan and I have been together I have steadily been gaining weight – like I am [...]

France, gorgeous France! Part 2: Pyrenees

Jonathan and I muscled our way through the Metro with our luggage and boarded our train to Toulouse.  Our instructions from Francis were this: come into the main train hall and go left, we’ll be the obvious ones.  He was fairly certain this approach would not work, but at 3pm (after boarding at 9:30

France, gorgeous France! Part 1: Paris

Oh my, OH MY! Where to start?  We arrived via the TGV from Stuttgart.  If you wonder what the TGV is, go here.  Super fast train.  We got to our apartment, which I had found via vrbo.com.  It was small, really small, aroudn 125 square feet, but within those walls was all we needed.  A [...]

Christmas in Stuttgart

Oh so lovely.  So very lovely. Well, almost. Before we had arrived, Carol contracted a terrible, albeit short, stomach flu.  Craig had it the day we arrived.  My poor Jonathan got it Christmas Eve.  Christmas Eve was a day of relaxation and, in my case, a day of waiting around.  We were all sure I’d

Stuttgart is SO FUN!

We arrived yesterday.  I was shattered because I normally sleep so well the plane, but, unfortunately, my neck was killing me.  No matter how hard I tried, I could not get comfortable without searing pain from my neck to my shoulder.  I ended up staying awake for all but about 45 minutes of the 6.5

A Very Important Birthday

Yesterday Jeff Norton turned 57.  He was not around to see it, but we all were.  I dreamed about him again.  I always am suffering so much grief in my dreams, yet he always seems so happy.  It’s like my subconscious cannot handle the fact that he is gone. Dec 14th his murderer goes in front of [...]

Vulcan Mind Meld – PS It Works

Me: Did you paint your toenails? (Jonathan has a toenail fungus) Jonathan: Yes.  No.  I don’t remember.  [pause] What the hell are you doing? Me: The vulcan mind meld to help you remember, or at least extract the memories. Jonathan: That doesn’t actually work. Me: Yes it does. Jonathan: No it doesn’
