I am not a glutton - I am an explorer of food

I love that Erma Bombeck quote.
Actually, I love nearly everything Ms Erma ever said I think. When I was growing up, my mother read everything she ever wrote, and thusly, so did I. Very wise woman was she!

But back to the title.
I have a confession.
After being so good calorie wise at breakfast and lunch...and really honestly planning on having a low-cal snack when I got home from school....
I bombed it!

I mean...why would anyone want to choke down enjoy these wonderfully filling treats


When THESE are lying right there....already opened...just calling out, "EAT ME...EAT ME"..


I mean...they were already opened!! Possibly growing staler by the moment. What was I suppose to do? Let them just sit there...and get hard...and become a waste of my hard earned money?

No..I did want any hungry woman on a budget would do.
I snarfed those puppies down before they knew what hit them!

But now..as I'm licking the salty goodness off my fingers...I am feeling a bit guilty. and trying to talk myself out of one of those last pieces of chocolate from the Christmas stockings.

I guess I'll have to reduce my calories at dinner. Even if it is "Sonic Night" (the boyfriend's night to provide dinner!--halfprice burgers is usually the fare)

Yanno...maybe I should've waited to start a diet til AFTER I was finished PMSing!!

Throw the diet out the window, and just take good care of yourself...well, that's what I did. It worked!

You sound like me in the starting a new diet at the first of every year...but not this year. This year, I'm just going to eat right, take care of myself and my health and enjoy being in my own skin. Let's see how that works...now pass the Bugles! lol
Love you,

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
