COUNT ME IN!
Marie Claire says it’s true, so who am I to dispute this fantastic piece of scientific weight loss news? Don’t believe me? Want to look a gift horse in the mouth? I’ll share the article with you just as it appeared in the pages of Marie Claire Magazine – no edits, no comments:
Drinking wine before bed helps you lose weight. Seriously. Science says so
By This is a wine related Public Service Announcement
Dear everyone who thought it appropriate to sneer and cast a judgmental eye over us when we’ve admitted to enjoying a glass or few of wine before bed. You can go firmly back in your boxes, because scientists have discovered that drinking wine late in the evening aids weight loss.
The above paragraph is what music to our ears looks like.
Now let’s get scientific with the help from Washington State University and Harvard. In wine there is a chemical called resveratrol which works in the body as a means to stopping fat cells gaining more fat, therefore helping you slim.
And this isn’t one of those incidences when we’re told we can drink wine, but only a thimble mixed with vinegar every other Wednesday, according to scientists, drinking at least two glasses – half a bottle a day can help beat obesity by 70%. There’s no messing around with a number like that, is there?
The reason why coiffing your best glass of Blue Nun in the evening is best, is because the 
calories help keep you full and reduce the need to late night snack, which is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to weight gain. *Glances towards Pringles under bed*
To back this up with even more scientific evidence, the University of Denmark found that people who drank everyday had slimmer waistlines compared to their sober 
counterparts, while Harvard’s weight gain study of 20,000 people revealed that out of all of those that gained a large amount of weight, none of them were drinkers.
Oh science we love you. Now we’re off to celebrate your innovative findings by climbing into bed with a bottle of Prosecco.
One thing that she did instill in all of her kids and grandkids though was a love of fruits and nuts. Anytime we would be in the desert at one of their condos, a required stop was 
I am now about 2 hours away from Palm Springs, which puts me 2 hours away from Hadley’s but thankfully Hadley’s has entered the information age and I can order their fruits and nuts online! Looks like I’ll be ordering some dates so I can indulge my need for a bit of memory refreshment. 😉
When I was a kid, we saw my mom’s parents all the time. They lived just a few miles away so we often saw them during the week when they came to our various games. On those nights, because Grandma always seemed to be on some new diet, Grandpa was excited to eat whatever junk food was being served at the snack bar, but at least twice a month, my grandparents would come to our house for a proper Sunday dinner.

We are approaching mid-October and still seeing daytime temperatures over 90°F in Southern California. I’m not a cold weather lover, but I do like to have 4 separate seasons and I do appreciate it greatly when we dip into the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s so I can wear my boots, jeans and sweaters and start cooking hearty soups, stews and sip warm drinks by the fire!

The college football season is 6 weeks old and finally, this past Saturday, I got to go to a game. I love college football season and missing six games sucked, so I was really anxious to get back into full tailgate mode. I was warned by my fellow tail gaiters, not to overdo it, which I did, but it was SO worth it!
