Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust. (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...
Cool WHip HAHAHAHA! Reminds me of Family guy :). I love the idea of putting graham crackers on your oatmeal!
ReplyDeleteWe went to the (fortunately) cheap matinee theater for Puss...in Boots! on our anniversary. Do you mean to tell me it's out on DVD already? Oh, man!
ReplyDeleteBurrito looks awesome, except we would put salsa instead of BBQ sauce on it.
Don't you count your tea as water? I would/do, and I'm drinking black tea. Green should certainly count.
Czesia- Yep, that's what I was thinking of. I was wondering if anyone would get the reference. :)
ReplyDeleteCheri- Yes, I do count my tea as water because it's decaf and I use Splenda. I know there can be a hot debate about it but I try to get in just as much pure water as tea to balance things out.
Well I can tell how tired I am...I kept trying to catch up on the last couple days and thought "why am I only seeing breakfast?" Duh...The oatmeal makes me yearn for my oatmeal days. I never put anything in it except spenda but the adds look soooo good. Ditto the noodles but after almost a year of gluten free I might resort to eating dry noodles if the mood struck. I am glad you are starting to recover. Take care, Di
ReplyDeleteDiane- HA, I felt like my food journal pics were taking up a lot of real estate so I put a page break in there.
ReplyDeleteBob's Red Mill has gluten free Whole Grain oats if you're longing for oatmeal days. ;)
Cool WHip amuses me...I'm actually a little disappointed I wasn't the first to get the reference. Oh well. I really wish you could cook for me. I hate cooking, you make such amazing looking food, and you've lost over 200 pounds (yeah, I know, it's not "official" yet) so I think you need to come make me some dinner. Glad you're feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteAlana- I'll freeze my meals and send 'em out like Jenny Craig! LOL
