I Am

I Am

I am honest and trusting 

I wonder why I am so sad all the time 

I hear a dull roar 

I see a beautiful person 

I want to travel the world 

I am honest and trusting

I pretend to be calm 

I feel uncertain about time 

I touch a soft lining 

I worry about my son 

I cry when it feels hopeless 

I am honest and trusting

I understand plans change 

I say science will make it clear 

I dream about getting away 

I try to be optimistic 

I hope everything will work out 

I am honest and trusting

Candy Whore?

I had some Reese's Pieces today. I know you are jealous. Why did I have a bag of them, I am sure you are wondering, why, let me tell you, Loyal Reader.

We were up in Concord, NH, for the evening and we needed a snack. The closest store was a Rite-Aid. Now, I don't think I've been in a Rite-Aid for over a decade, but it was there. We went in and, per usual, we examined every item in the store before settling on the items we looked at first. I spied a buy one get one free sale on the Reese's and I had to have two bags!

We went up to the cashier and she asked if I had one of these Wellness cards. I told her that I didn't but asked that she use the store card. Well, apparently, there is no store card. So, if I wanted my free bag of Reese's (of course I did) I would need to sign up for one of these dumb cards. So, I did. I gave her my phone number and she gave me a Wellness card. I tried to walk away without it, but she made sure I remembered to take it.

I promptly threw it away when I got home. What do I need with one of these cards for? I will never need it again. I hate how they trick you into giving them your phone number for a free bag of candy. Wow. Now I kinda feel like a candy whore.

In case you were wondering, I did not eat both bags at once. Despite how much I wanted to :)

Yummy Cookies

Influenster sent me a complementary Mom VoxBox. See:

The first thing we tried (of course) was the Quaker Soft Baked Cookie. Ryder was a little put off that it was a raisin cookie, he was probably assuming it would be chocolate chip, but like a good mother, I made him try it. "Mmmm! It's good!" Seems like the raisins were alright after all.

And a little side note: the one cookie had 170 calories, but it also had 4 grams of fiber. So one cookie should be enough for a snack. You know I usually have a couple of cookies, when I eat them, but this one was quite filling.
