Day 211 Dog Treats, Yep that's It.

This.Was. The. Dullest. Saturday. Ever. Today, there was nothing exciting about the food, the shopping, or the weather, it was in a word, dead. I did buy an ankle brace today, does that count? I had fried potatoes for dinner, that's about it, oh and I bought another bag of Candy corns...sigh. To top off my night, I'm going to catch up on work stuff, if only I had a hand full of confetti right now, things would be jumping!
Tomorrow is grandma day, so that should liven things up...maybe we will have pudding and then it's all over and we're back to Monday. My dog is looking at me expectantly, like I'm going to entertain her or something, she's probably thinking the same thing about me....perhaps I'll make some dog treats! We haven't made doggie treats in about seven or eight years, probably time to dig out the old milk bone shaped cookie cutters. Yep, that's it, it will make my dog happy and will give me something productive to work on.

Day 210 Candy Cornalicious

There are many reasons why today was a good day, but one stands out. Was it because I had a full day off of work to play video games with my co-workers? No. Was it because I won enough tickets to purchase disguise glasses, an eye patch, and a whoopee cushion? Nope. My day was complete, when I walked into the Wal-greens and saw before me, hope for better cooler days, I saw a whole display shelf full of candy corn! Candy corn is my absolute favorite candy and predictor of Fall and there it was for sale, for me. I bought a bag and now I am eating them...before dinner.
Today went better than I expected regarding my challenge challenge and the fact that I was in an actual restaurant, faced with a huge buffet, including dessert. I did not participate in any food other than the salad bar and I was even pretty light on that. I had lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, raisins, cheese, and dressing and I didn't even finish it. So, I am still a fast food boycott puritan if you will, in that it was free and fresh. Done and done.
