Instead of buying TJ's expensive trail mix (which is good, but they didnt' have the kind i like), I went to the store and bought some nuts and dried fruit to make my own. I mixed the smoked almonds with cashews, and now the cashews have a faintly smoky flavor. It is TEH YUM. Next time, unsalted cashews instead of lightly salted. It's almost too salty. but not quite.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That does sound yum. I love smoked almonds.
When I was just outside, I bumped into (not literally) the World Harmony Run. They didn't look that tired.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They didn't look that tired.
They were three days late! They're slackers.

That sounds very yum! I should do that myself, I'm too picky about my trail mix to buy it off the shelf much, so I just don't eat it at all. No reason not to make my own.

Ha! No wonder they were well-rested!

What is even happening?
I kind of forgot Franny and Casper kicked off our Buffista baby boomlet. We have so many now, except really, those 2 are no longer babies. Stupid passage of time.

Yeah, I was tired of picking out the stuff I didn't like. TJ's has some with almonds, cashews, dried cherries, and pineapple. I don't mind dried pineapple,and love the other bits, for $8, I can make more than double the amount in their $5 bag.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
now I want trail mix! My uncles used to make trail mix that they called "gorp" to take cross country skiing with them. It was raisins, peanuts, walnuts and chocolate chips. This was before the days of readily available dried fruit.
Also, I just almost fainted at work. I am pretty sure it was because a) I have been awake since 2:30, b) I have my period really heavily and c) I took too many advil, then followed up with some coffee, which I haven't had in months.
One of the nurses took my bloodpressure and he thought the bottom number was high!

Yeah, my friend makes gorp, still, for hiking.
I just bought a bag of fruit, and was eating it while driving in the dark on rez roads. When I got home, I discovered that I'd eaten all the dried apples and apricots and had left all the cranberries and pineapple. I didn't realize I was doing it in the dark. Heh.

That's funny! I thought they made the name up!
