I did not care for the vanilla cinnamon low-sugar one, for what that’s worth. It seems like a good combination, but it was kind of odd.

I'm trying to flip my "prince-pauper-king" eating habits to at least be "prince-king-pauper" and yogurt for dinner is really one of the easiest ways for me to do that.

I have never heard of that before AND YET, I understood.

Walmart does not carry Choboni Less Sugar. I'll have to get it at Publix I guess .

I'm not a big yogurt fan so I liked the Ratio Strawberry Cheesecake because it tasted more like a dessert type thing than yogurt. But I think I will experiment with yogurt.

The nice thing about working at a grocery store is I have access to food and can change my lunch plans. I have been eating Birds eye Southwest Power Blend (or whatever it is called), chicken, guac and cheese. The power blend is 15 grams of protein and 13 grams of fiber. But I've been over doing the fiber so I wanted to try and eat less. I'm not near my goal but more than I have been eating. But today I got a cilantro rice microwave packet , Bush's Sidekicks fiesta pinto beans and mixed that with the chicken, guac and cheese. So similar to what I've been having but different enough. It was tasty and I had leftovers so I put that although and it's in the fridge for tomorrow.

I'm off Monday and Tuesday so I'm going to take a me time to figure out things to make for lunch , breakfast and snacks and try to get that all done.

E's birthday was today. My nephew is 16! And he and his parents just got back from a trip to Vancouver. I have to send his birthday present. I got him a dragon...well a wyrm Dungeon and dragon figure. I hope he likes it. He starts his jr year Monday, already has his driver's license and will be using my brother's car most days (my brother mostly drives a work truck ). He has block style classes so he has 4 classes at a time. He is taking a personal finance class, 2 AP classes (I forget which ones) and a dual enrollment history class. He wants to be an archeologist.

Jess I'm sorry your trip was so stressful and not what you were looking forward to. That sucks.

Today we celebrate the birthday of DebetEsse! I hope you have a day filled with love and joy. May this year bring all the things you love in life.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Debt! Hope today is lovely and the rest of the year brings much joy.

Man, I wish they'd offered some practical classes like Personal Finance back in my day. Would have been SO useful. Can't believe your nephew is already 16, askye. Wow.

Happy birthday, Debet!

I agree that personal finance classes would be a great addition to the high school curriculum.

I don't think it's very Diamond Shoes to be like "I looked forward to family vacation in a really lovely place, and then stressful shit kept happening and vacation was not as restful and restorative as I hoped it would be." That sucks to have a trip you were looking forward to go all pear-shaped.

I agree that personal finance classes would be a great addition to the high school curriculum.

Happy Birthday, Debet!

I'm headed to a family wedding today which involves a full Catholic mass, and even my very Catholic aunt and uncle (who are staying at Mom's with me) are joking about ways we could skip the ceremony and just go to the reception. I will not burst into flames. I will not burst into flames. I will not burst into flames.

Ha, Kristin. Just, you know, bring some bottled water, and if you see smoke...

That sucks to have a trip you were looking forward to go all pear-shaped.

Meant to fourth or fifth or whatever this, Jess.

Definite drag, Jess.

Dylan took Personal Finance his senior year but unfortunately the teacher was completely checked out and so he didn't get much out of it. (He basically told them to pretend to invest an imaginary $1000 in the first week and track how their choices performed, and then didn't do anything else the entire semester.)
