Avoiding The Salmonella Side-Step

-
To make things a little easier with my new job and to save some money, I've been bringing my lunch every day to work. I can't be bothered making a sandwich at 5:30 in the morning, so I usually grab things like sunflower seeds, raisins, and energy bars like this one that I pulled out of the pantry.




I actually found a write up about this bar in a magazine I was reading this weekend:



I'm just thankful, that in addition to the case of energy bars, I also bought this:


Side note: I've eaten quite a few of these bars over the last 4 weeks. No problems as of yet. I had one yesterday afternoon as a matter of fact and so far..........be right back.

Too funny. I can't believe how far reaching this peanut thing is. I had to conduct an intervention w/my mom over her stash of cheese/peanut butter crackers...

I've gotten paranoid and stopped buying anything with peanut butter, even treats for the dog.

Yes, Alisha, I agree. But what if the little darlings poop in the pool after splurging on peanutbutter.

I have some of those crackers too...better go toss them.

I make the kids make their lunch the night before - they don't want to do it at 6 in the morning either.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
