My friend Moxy asked me this morning… why haven’t I been on Vox….

Well besides the fact that I am blessed to have life… and health….

I don’t have much to say… till right this second…

 

I discovered one of Alicia Key’s new songs off of her upcoming album

As I Am…. And the duet with John Mayer is beautiful!  

I don’t have the CD yet…won’t have till November 13^th like everybody else….

 

 

 

And here are the lyrics - I know it seems like a long one... but the words help you to really appreciate the song.

 

He broke - A heart

And now it’s rainin

Just to rub it in

I’m at your door

I feel so crazy bout it

 

You’ll say I told u so

You saw it long ago

You knew he had to go

I finally came around

I’m back on solid ground

Can’t let it get me down

 

(John) It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

(Alicia)It’s alright

(John) It’s alright,

Yeah

          it’s alright,

Yeah

         it’s alright

 

Yes I was burned

But I called it a Lesson Learned

Mistake overturned so I called

It a lesson learned

My soul has returned

So I called it a lesson learned

Another lesson

Learned

 

Sometimes

Some lies can take a minute

To fully realize

His tear -  your eyes

30sec’s to apologize

You give him one more chance

Just like the time before

But he already knows

You’ll give a hundred more

Until that night in bed

You’ll wake up in a sweat

You racin to the door

Can’t take it anymore

 

I was burned

But I called it a Lesson Learned

Mistake overturned so I called

It a lesson learned

Whoaaa My soul has returned

So I called it a lesson learned

Another lesson

Learned

 

Life perfect

Aint perfect if don’t know

What the struggles for

Fallin down aint fallin down

If ya don’t cry when ya hit the floor

 

It’s called the pass

Cause im gettin pass

And I aint nutthin like I was before

U outta see me now

 

Yes I was burned

But I called it a Lesson

Learned

Mistake overturned so I called

It a lesson learned

Oh-ohhhh

My soul has returned

So I called it a lesson learned

Another lesson

Learned

 

Whoaaa

Said it

Yes I was burned

But I called it a

Lesson Learned

Said mistake overturned so I called

It a lesson learned

My soul has returned

So I call it !

Lesson learned

Oh-oh Lesson Learned

Whoaaa

Anotha

Lesson Learned

 

(John) It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

It’s alright

It Lesson learned

(John) It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

Baked Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage and Mozzarella

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the grainy picture... but this:

These savory melt-in-your-mouth morsels are irresistible.

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Remove stems from mushrooms; finely chop enough stems to equal 1/2 cup and reserve. Place mushroom caps in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange caps cavity side up on a shallow baking pan and set aside.
2. Heat remaining oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add sausage, green onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and reserved chopped mushroom stems. Saut, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, for about 5 minutes, until cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and stir just until cheese melts.
3. Stuff mushroom caps with sausage mixture and bake 10 to 15 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and cheese is slightly golden.

 

 

Week 1 231lbs

Tuesday:

Break fast – Green apple and a Banana.  Lunch – Bag of pork skins… Dinner – Disaster.

Lets talk about dinner shall we – I decided that I would cook Bok Choy/mushrooms/snap peas and cabbage…. With red peppers seasoned with curry and seasonings…. What a slop fest that turned out to be. ….  I have cooked it before with ground turkey and it was delicious… but the snap peas got mushy and I thought I was gonna gag.   Not doing that again.

Wednesday:

Breakfast – 2 slices of Ezekiel bread with organic butter and white cheddar cheese Lunch – bag of pork skins ….Dinner- Italian sausage and peppers!

So I am going to New York on July 26th.  "Slim City"  - I should be excited right - WRONG.  Why you may ask... I am 231lbs.  That why.  I don’t want to go to New York fat- I feel like I will stick out - UGGG... so I have decided to go on the Atkins Diet....  Dr Atkins do you think you can save me? - Now because I have recently been diagnosed with Diabetes... I am upping the carb intake to 20-30grams a day and I intend to get that from my Ezekiel bread in the morning. 

Working out - is the hard part.  I swear the person that invented the elliptical rider is the devil himself!  I got on that thing one time and I didn’t know if i was coming or going!!! - I thought I better get the hell of this thing and fast... I got off dizzy as hell and disoriented... not doing that again... at least not now.

I don’t want to go to the gym because ... well there are too many skinny people there... and that depresses me more...sooooo I got this tape by Leslie Sansone called Walk Away The Pounds.  Its a fast past walking in place tape...3 miles.

OK - after the first mile... i felt like a runaway slave.  I'm going to try to work my way up to mile 2 by week 2.  I also got a Windsor Pilates tape...  all over work out in 20mins.  Let me tell you ... that is for someone with NOOOO STOMACH!!!! there is no way in hell I am gonna grip my ankles - and roll over in a ball with my stomach - get out of here.  I can safely say - that was a waste of money!

So here it is - I am going to keep you posted on my progress. 

This has been the beginning of a wretched week – and its only Tuesday for Christ’s sake! ….

Sunday I polished off two bottles of Messina Hof Riesling…  fell asleep and had a horrible nightmare…

I don’t remember what the hell it was about – but what ever it was-scared the shit out of me .. Enough to make me jump out of my sleep!

So I decided to watch Soprano’s that I DVR’ed – big mistake… all of 3am I’m up on the edge of my seat and **BLAM**

Fade to black –

 “What the hell – this frigged up Time Warner!!!! I cant believe this”

 ** grab my cell phone** 

“Fuckinhell – its 4 in the morning!!! No body is up!!!”   

 ** credits roll**

“ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDIN ME !!!!! “ –

** I KNOW IM STILL DRUNK – SO I GOT TO WATCH THIS TOMORROW – MAKE SOME SENCE OF THIS SHIT**

Monday morning… I am havin hell.  My 11 year old is like...

 “Come on momma git it together!!! – lets go!”  She is too smart for he own good –

“Do you need a bracelet???!!! HAHAHAHA” 

 ** that was shameful!** -

She means the “drunkie ankle restraint” – that will teach me to get carried away….

 

Monday was a blurr…. I would be in the middle of a refund… and forget what I was doing – the phone rang off the hook as if we were GIVING away airline tickets…. Annnd one of the agent’s who is a friend of mine…. She refuses to “use the toilet” at her boyfriends house… so she is missing in action for 10-15mins at a time….while the phones are off the hook –

What the hell !!!! I love you to death but don’t make your irritable bowels my problem at 7:30am –

“He loves you…. he can get pass your potty habits….unless of course your shitting like an elephant!!! “

4:30pm… Thank GOD!!! ….. 

I am hitting the couch as soon as I hit the front door –

“Mom I don’t get this”

** summer school homework – dammmIT!!**  

We finished it with the help of three other people… by the time she gets to the 6^th grade she should be able to build her own damn rocket and head for space!!!! What ever happen to 1+1=2 …. ????

So this morning … im thinking that this is gonna be a better day – has to be…..NOT! …. You know - how you have a “know it all” coworker…?  Ok – well, will somebody come get this know it all bitch!!!   Don’t start telling me how to do refunds… when I have been doing them prior to your arrival!!!!! – shut your whole and submit the blinking refund request like evvvery body else and sit ya ass down somewhere!!!!! – Hell! … And I mean that in the nicest way possible bless her heart…. she can be so sweet.. But then she gets into the “I know this and you don’t “mood and speaks to people in condescending tones… I just feel like flinging my stapler at her!!!! –

Well I feel better getting this out – I’m going to say a prayer – and ask for forgiveness, for the evil thoughts and fowl language….

Wednesday hump day….  I’m sure that will be a better day... Ya think?

Q - If a waiter stopped by right now to take your order, what cocktail or drink are you having?

A - I am a Mojito and Messina Hof Kinda girl !!!.... Love it ! 

OK - So Roxy got me started with the Mii .... and Now this:

This thing was a trip.... I looked an absolute mess as a caucasian and did no justice to the East Indian race.... God knows what he is doing ! 

 

Tell us two truths and a lie about yourself.

 

Truth - I am incredibly insecure about my weight

Truth - I would rather be in the back of the room than in the front row.

Lie - I laugh a lot when really ... I want to cry.

 

 

I havent blogged in a while... I tried to load these photo's and tell you all about the wonderful West Indian Mother's Day weekend .... the photo's got jammed - I got pissed and said to hell with it....

So im what 17 days late - HA! ... but this was one of the best Mother's Days ever!!!!  It is so wonderful to have my family together.... Love it!
