By Tamera, on January 28th, 2012 Week 3 – The question is what tools are you going to use to help you acheive your goals.
Measuring Tools
A couple years ago I spent a few weeks measuring out exactly what a serving was and I have to tell you this did two things. First the obvious, dirty a lot of dishes. But I have to tell you it was totally worth it. Second it put into perspective just how much we over eat without even trying. Here are a couple examples.
The left is an actual 1 oz serving of chips for 150 calories the right is 1.8 oz which looks more like what . . . → Read More: Get Hawt – Week 3 Tools
By Tamera, on January 28th, 2012 This is my first Get Hawt post and it’s not because I didn’t have good intentions, it is because I just can’t seem to find the time to write anymore. I will however fix that!
Ok, first of all I need to introduce to you Get Hawt. Two awesome gals (of course friends of mine on the internet) have teamed up to host blog parties. A place for folks to get together and make public their 2012 fitness/health goals and update regularly on their progress. I am excited to join this group and hope that having a bit of morale support along the way will help. Jen McCown (twitter|blog) and . . . → Read More: GET HAWT! My delayed start.
By Tamera, on November 14th, 2011 I have been to conferences in the past, so I didn’t quite feel like a “first timer”. PASS held several things for first timers and I opted not to go to them, I did hear from my co-workers that they enjoyed the activities. I thought I had prepared for everything on this trip but I was wrong. I really had no idea that I would get to hang out with the cool kids and that by doing so I would have to learn to live on a few hours of sleep. I didn’t know that I would need more than a cure for my hang-over. I wasn’t prepared for the . . . → Read More: Post #SQLPASS
By Tamera, on November 8th, 2011 I have deteremined that my stress level the last 1.5 months has been pretty high and I am sure it revolves around #SQLPASS. Here let me explain.
First there is my company that made me dance around like a puppet and sit on pins and needles while waiting to find out if I was going to get to attend this year. You see last year the “boys” went and I didn’t get to. One of them, who happens to be my boss’s boss would come by and rub it in that he was going and that I wasn’t then I got the drop by stories from PASS for months after. . . . → Read More: Leading up to #SQLPASS
By Tamera, on November 7th, 2011 #sqlfamily
It started feeling real on Monday night of #sqlpass week. It was at a very late dinner with @airbornegeek and my co-workers; we were sitting at The Tap House when all of the sudden (you know at nearly midnight) walked in a large group of my favorite people in the #sqlcommunity. I walked over to say HI to all these “strangers” I had never met in person, there were hugs and laughs and OMG! Everywhere. I walked back to our table and said “Guys MY FAMILY is here, we have to go sit with them!” they replied with “we are going to the hotel and to bed”. I followed . . . → Read More: #SQLFAMILY
By Tamera, on July 30th, 2011 It’s about to storm here at the Hideaway, if you don’t know yet we call our home The Osburn Hideaway and Hideaway for short. I am really upset that we didn’t get to the garden in time to get green beans as I would rather be doing that crummy inside work during a storm that later this after noon. So the air was cooling off a bit I decided to take a little trip to the herb garden. Now I went and busted up my ankle 2 weeks ago so my ability to handle the uneven terrain and the wet grass has been difficult so I was a bit of . . . → Read More: What to do with so many herbs?
By Tamera, on May 2nd, 2011 “I got 99 problems but a disk ain’t one”
I am not a DBA, and I have only pretended to be one after KLT had moved on to TN. But I have seen all of these items cause problems for databases and as a customer of these databases I found it to be extremely annoying.
users who don’t care users who have too many rights USERS who have no knowledge of how a DB works or how to write SQL and those who have no idea what could make a query slow A bad data model Forcing size limit on a DB and requiring a DB to fix it. BAD! . . . → Read More: Meme Monday 5/2
By Tamera, on April 4th, 2011 Why yes I would LOVE to troubleshoot your crappy code!
Thanks TOM for something so fun and differnent. And yes, it’s Tamera like camera but no, I don’t have someone to tag.
By Tamera, on March 30th, 2011 Well yet another adventure that begins with me watching the Food Network on the weekend. One of my favorite personalities is Anne Burrell , she is kind of a bigger girl with a LOT of spunk. I have said before and will say it again, I am not sure I trust those skinny bitches in the kitchen. 😀 So she was making Jambalaya and it occurred to me that I have most of those ingredients right here and many of them would be from the garden. I have made this recipe now 3 times and I still like it! First let me educate you on the things I learned this . . . → Read More: Jambalaya
By Tamera, on March 15th, 2011 And into the freezer!
So our jalapeno plant was very busy and gave us more fruits than we could use, maybe that is because I never got to can salsa. I was on a quest all last season to create things I could freeze and cook later. I decided that Kerry and Sam love the idea of melting their faces off with really HOT foods. Why not make poppers? They are totally easy and you more than likely own most of the ingredients required. Good news – outside of the pepper hotness you can adjust how hot these babies are by adding more or less cayenne and by picking different . . . → Read More: Jalapeno Poppers right from the garden
