Yes, you guessed it, Scuba Diving is my third love. 1st is my Heavenly Father, 2nd my husband of almost 20 years and best friend, 3rd underwater photography. "Then" COOKING!
Doing seasonal work and trying to keep my shape in my 30's makes it quite a challenge. Either no time or too much time and not enough activity. I find the weight watchers annual cook books to be suprisingley very good. I have marked all my favorites in my books and any revisions, if anyones ever interested. I do have a guilty pleasure, it's Dinner By Design! It has been a life saver literally (fast food ugh). I also have kept notes on every dish I've ever made if anyones interested.
I like cats allot, but I LOVE dogs!
