Wedded Wednesday is a collaboration of married bloggers sharing their inspirations, anecdotes, struggles and thoughts regarding the amazing union of two separate people, as one. Is you definition of couples time different from your mates? I realized the other day that mine is. My husband loves all aspects of working in the yard. My idea of working in the yard is picking flowers  to make arrangements in the house, selecting what veggies to plant and picking ripe veggies out of the garden. I really do not enjoy doing any of the preparation work, but I will if I have to. The other day Mr. J was preparing the garden for planting and the conversation went like this.... Mr. J: " You coming outside to help me turn over the dirt?" Long pause as I just looked out of our dining room window. Mr. J: " Did you hear me?" Me: "Yes, but I really did not plan on it." Mr. J: " I am waiting on you." Me: " I am not dressed to work in the yard....

In my pursuit to drop some pounds, I have been looking for recipes that reduce the fat but still have the taste that I am looking for. I found this Weight Watchers Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies. They were really easy to make. If you are doing Weight Watchers, the cookies are 1 point each. Mine might be a little more since I added some chopped pecans to them.

1. Are you going to stand in line today to get flip flops at Old Navy for $1.00? I am always ready for a sale and love flip flops, but I can not see myself standing line for flip flops. Besides I think if  I brought another flip flop in the house, my husband would have a fit.  2. I just got done ready Tori Spelling's sTori TELLING. I know, I know I am behind. I really found the book interesting. It was an easy read. I watch her show and of course I watched the original 90210 that she was on. Even though she is a start I think that she seems really down to earth. The book really made me appreciate the relationship that I have with my mother.  I just purchased Mommywood and started reading it. I had to complete the set. 3. Why does every season finale of the shows that I enjoy watching have to take place on the same night and at the same time? Thank goodness for TiVo. 4. Why does healthy food have to be so expensive?  5. Why can't every weekend be a three day weekend? ...
