Yankees, Red Sox, Fitness and Fashion

Image
Good morning, it’s a Monday, how are we feeling? I personally am feeling pretty excited, about a few different things going on in our lives. Baseball is a very important part of my life. I can admit I’m addicted. I have that type personality, but this addiction is the least hurtful of all of my addictions. Some, my family, for instance, may beg to differ. Folks I DVR every single Yankees game. By hook or by crook I watch every one of them. I DVR for 2 reasons, I want to keep my family. By that I mean if I were to watch the games every day/night when they are scheduled, I’d never spend time with the family. Secondly, I fast forward through the commercials. YES! The last time I wrote was May 2 nd . The Red Sox were in first place with a record of 22-8. The Yankees, MY Yankees, had a record of 22-10 putting them 2 games behind the Sawx. Since that time the Yankees are 8-2, the Sawx, 6-4, including losing 2 out of 3 to the Yanks. Let’s do the math, ahh yes both teams share a rec...

FAR CRY 5 , A Good Day for Eddie

Image
A good day for Eddie is any day that involves games, more specifically Xbox One games which he plays extensively. Our goal? to get him involved with us and share his gaming world So today,  we offered to buy a game, for him, that he would "review" for our BLOG and also he would have to teach us how to play.  At first, we are told by Eddie, that IGN, formerly Imagine Games Network, already does that, and why would anyone come to our blog to read about Video GAMES?(OK, he has a point) but we told him that if HE gave his opinion maybe they would. He immediately mentioned. Far Cry 5  and after investigation (Google search) We find they rated the game 8.9 out of 10 and it is "Secretly the Funniest Game in Years" (sound's good). Excitedly though, after his initial resistance to include us, his desire for the game overcame his desire to exclude us and he agreed.  We ventured immediately out of the house, which is rare for a gamer, and headed to, the best place in...

Opening Day 2018 by Ted Robedee,

A blog?? What’s a blog? Up until a couple of days ago, I’ve never read a  blog, much less know what one is.  So here I go for better or worse. I’ll start off with, I’m a huge baseball  fan, hockey fan, and football fan. I must admit, with the number of  criminals, unsavory characters, domestic violence and disrespecting the  flag of our great nation, my football fandom is on the decline.  Today is opening day for baseball. I’m a die-hard Yankees fan, have  been since I saw my first game at Yankee Stadium. I’ll never forget it. It  was a double header, remember those? Pay for 1 ticket see 2 games? I  was sitting down the third base line. It was the second game, and some  guy named Mickey Mantle came to the plate. When I heard Bob  Shepherd announce his name, a chill ran through me. Mickey didn’t let  me down, he lined a ball down the third base line, deep into the corner.  I’m standing, cheering...

A Day With NOOM Coach

What a day! I have tried to get here all day because I wanted to tell you about this app called “Noom Coach”.  It seems like what I have seen before , a calorie counting app but it’s not, it’s so much more and different.  It provides Little information blurbs every day in a lighthearted way, it asks how you learn best and how do you like your encouragement, HOT, Warm or cold.  And it gives you an analysis of WHAT you are eating.  @NOOMCOACH take a look.  It tracks weight with your Fitbit or whatever you use, counts calories and shows you green, yellow or red for how your calories break down showing you that you can do better and not eat that red food.  How you are doing on green and how to do foods and you learn about cravings and other hotspots.  It’s simple but it’s really helping me.  Oh, you have humans helping too. My Noom Coach  told me if I keep eating good, I would lose a couple pounds by end of week and I DID!  It’s been 1 week ...

Cold Shoulder Spring Fashion Top KTDezigns Add caption Once again, as I try to start to write, I have to mess around with a bunch of stuff on and off the computer.  I like to have at least a phone, as a backup, or a second computer I can use while I write. It helps so you don't have to go back and forth from one computer to check facts, I love facts and history and interesting information about why things are the way they are....  there are so many things I want to do, learn, write ......ARGH! "I JUST CAN'T" Cosmetics  OK so lets get into this......... The Federal  Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C ACT) defines cosmetics by their intended use, as "articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body...for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance"[FD&C ACT, sec.201(i)].

Final Nor'easter

We just came through the, most likely, last Nor'easter of 2017/2018.  It's kinda sad because we didn't get a lot of stormy weather and I really like stormy weather.  The storm is over with kinda a mighty roar.....not really. It was a crazy storm though, really different, with large snow flakes, floating around and then little tiny ones.  The wind was consta I have so m any ideas that I want to share but I find that keeping up with the writing is really difficult Maybe, I am not meant to write like I really want to because writers write and I don't consistently.  Maybe I am lazy, we shall see.  Maybe the blog will  cure me!   Anyway, I have decided to do some really fun things on our blog....  Connected by:  https://www.ktdezigns.com Also check us out.....  Twitter- ktdezigns Facebook- KT Dezigns Instagram- KT Dezigns Vinte-KTDezigns Wish- KT Dezigms Wanelo- KT Dezigns Poshmark - ktdezigns Mercari - ktdezig...

Trending Fashion Accessory

Hello fighters of the blahs, Today I had the pleasure of seeing my oral surgeon, Dr. S.   He seems to be a nice guy, although he does have a wicked case of bedhead.  In his defense, Fashion is not his bag, Oral Surgery is and I must admit I am ok with that. I arrived at the office, one minute late, and the woman behind the counter didn't even look up from her area. Signing in, looking around a bit, nothing. The waiting room is empty and at this point, I am wondering if I am even supposed to be there... but no...... I had received many reminders and even a text message a couple of hours ago, I definitely was supposed to have a dentist appointment but maybe it's the wrong office...... no one in the waiting room but there is a card in the case that has DR S's name. thing.  Strangely, there was no one in the waiting room but being me 😈........I had to say something..... so I thanked her for the multiple reminders they sent for my appointment. I am usually on...

Waiting on a Snow Storm

Image
According to the "media", such that it is, there is a major snow storm heading our way.  This may or may not be true because the weather forecasts are anything but accurate.  In fact, weather forecasting or meteorology seems to be the only job on the planet you can be wrong most of the time and still be employed.  When you are right, however, you become very famous.  (that's very rare) Anyway, we are waiting.  Ted is convinces that it is a conspiracy with the grocery stores to get rid of water, bread, meat and whatever is considered necessary during a storm and possible power outage.  Unfortunately I learned early in my storm experience that meat goes bad quickly and there is only so much BBQ you can do during a storm. OK WAIT A MINUTE, this is gonna be snow! OK we are waiting for the storm.  Storm warning begins at 5pm, recently pushed up from 7pm.  So back to the conspiracy.  Whenever there is a storm pending, everyon...
