Three things

1) I ran out of time this morning so I grabbed a protein bar on the way out the door. I thought I had tried this brand before but, alas, I had not... I'm pretty sure the ingredient listed as "cyanocobalamin " is really just a fancy name for "essence of cow manure." It had just enough bovine bowel flavor to make my stomach hurt but not so much as to cause the whole vomit. Unfortunately, I HAD to eat the whole thing because I wouldn't have a chance to eat again for 3 hours! Hm...I think I need to plan better. The rest of the Pure Protein chocolate bars are going to work with Michael - he probably won't even notice the underlying flavor of processed field grass. I hope the other 2 flavors taste better 'cuz I got 'em at Sam's Club and I can't stand to waste the money!

2) I had the BEST chicken tonight, thanks neighbor Mindy! I think it was really healthy, I know it had yummy pistachios in the crust. I'll get the recipe and post it. It was delish and SO satisfying.

I LOVE having good neighbors! We were very blessed to have an amazing neighbor at our last home. His name was Dudley - he moved into our neighborhood in the 1950's and he helped to build many of the homes in our 1940's neighborhood so he must have been in his eighties when we lived by him...anyway, before we even moved in, he was taking our trash cans to the curb and gathering our mail and reporting suspicious activity. We always felt safe knowing our sweet Dudley was looking out for us. I miss him! In my mind's eye, he reminded me of how things maybe used to be, when people took time to be a friend and to take care of others - before we did most of our communicating via wireless. He taught us how to be better neighbors, I am thankful for his example.

3) I have had a few people tell me they have read this blog! Wow! I had no idea people would actually READ it! Thanks for listening, gals!
