5 Things I Learned This Week--Part 43

Eggs

According to 3 Easy Tips to Speed up Weight Loss and say Bye Bye Belly Fat on Health Nut Wannabee Mom's blog, eggs are good for this:

Eggs are chocked full of protein and stabilize blood sugar while increasing your metabolism by 25 percent for two hours and curb appetite to cut daily calorie intake.

This is really good news for me because I love scrambled eggs!

Little Elf

When visiting I beati through Pet Pride I found out the the name Avery means little elf. This got my attention because my former boss is named Avery. Check out the post I just wrote about him last week: What A Nice Boss!

My Guest Post

My guest post, "How Cancer Affected My Life" was up this week on Talkin' with Teenie: Blogging for Boobs series.

Design Tutorials

I found a very helpful blog this week: Cat Spills the Beans that gives tutorials on how to do blog designing.

Bone Density

Just found out yesterday that my bone density test revealed that I'm deficient in Vitamin D and Calcium and that I should start taking Citracal, yet another pill to avoid hip fractures when I hit old age. Why can't the sun just shine more here? Phooey on this!

What A Nice Boss!

I started back to work last Monday and when sorting through the stack of mail on my desk, I came across an Applebees Gift Card! I was so surprised to find that!! It was from Avery and Susannah, the lawyer who I worked for before he retired last year and his wife to welcome me back. He still pops into the office now and then but I haven't actually worked for him since last December. He's the nicest person I know--a real people person! Not only has he served on numerous boards of non-profit organizations but is also a kind and very generous person. He thoroughly enjoys spending time with his family and his grandchildren and always has interesting stories to tell about his life experiences.

Today Gerard and I used the gift card and had lunch at Applebees. I had a delicious BBQ grilled chicken salad that was huge and ate the whole thing! It was SO good! Gerard chose the fish-n-chips which he enjoyed very much because he hasn't had that in so long. We were both too full for dessert, but it was a very good meal and we could still watch the Ohio State game.

Who's the nicest person you know and why?
