Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
Yeah, wow, had no idea spa's cost so much. I figured 5-7K max. And they say those are made to last a lifetime yet nearly every hot tub we've ever used on vacation at any given rental home has had problems of some kind so we know that isn't true. Was a good weekend overall but short as always.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow that's expensive. I would have guessed around the same as the Mr. I wonder if the ones without all the bells and whistles are much cheaper? They do have inflatable ones (like the pools) for much less but I can't speak to the quality. I only know that because a friend got one a couple years ago for under $1000. No idea if it's still around and kicking though.
ReplyDeleteNot a lot here this weekend. Lego Club at the library Saturday and the indoor pool on Sunday. Plus all the usual weekend chores. At some point, when I wasn't looking, I got old and boring.
That pooch is so stinking cute!! As for the hot tub, that's what I want to live in at some point. Just put a little roof over me and I'd be all set. lol Glad you got your kinks worked out with the massage therapist and she helped you to feel better!
ReplyDeleteKodiak. I use the high protein box. I add egg whites and scoop of protein powder to further help the macros. Mine rises just fine. It might be the egg whites. I reduce the amount of water to compensate for egg whites. I cook in waffle maker.
ReplyDeleteNo they are not the same as the higher carb/sugar brands. (But I cannot eat something that high in carbs with almost no protein. I would spend the rest of the day trying to catch up my protein.) But husband and I like them on occassion. He eats with blue berries and honey and nuts. I eat with bit of lite butter. To us they are the right amount of good. I actually like that they are not "too" good, do not leave me wanting to finish the box. And very filling.
