Discoveries

I'm on a diet. Again. So, I'm in constant search of the perfect diet food and I think I found it! Yesterday I bought some of those veggie burgers and I found the ultimate! It's made by Morning Star Farms and it's called Spicy Black Bean Burger. It's wonderful. It has the taste of cumin and chipotle so it's very Mexican tasting and so satisfying! For something with so much fiber, so little fat and calories, it's great. I'll be buying a lot of these in the next few months!

I got a new laser mouse for my laptop and I love it! My laptop has that touch pad thingy and I hate that! This mouse is great. It makes using a laptop so much easier. I can scroll again with a wheel instead of trying to be co-ordinated enough to make two fingers do two different things at once!

Thanks to a couple of good friends, I've discovered mineral makeup. In my quest to become a more girlie girl, it fit in so well with my schedule and needs! I've bought way to much of it on eBay but I just love playing with all the colors and the brushes! That must be my artist muse taking a different tack. I've also discovered that you CAN over-do it! With my fear of clowns, I have to be careful of that!!



Looking in the mirror can become a worse nightmare than it already is!! If you're looking for something light and easy in the makeup line, try minerals. They're natural, easy, and make you look like you don't have makeup on but just a youthful dewy look. Well, unless you get that clown thing going on! ACK!!

I'm off work from now until next Tuesday and the break...short as it is...is much welcome! I noticed at work this morning that when we left they were starting some work on the parking lot (usually a spring combination of mud, ruts and gravel). We've been complaining to the admin and they are finally doing something! Maybe we'll go back to a decent place to park and my poor little car won't get bogged down anymore!

Well, it's FINALLY Spring! Today is the Vernal Equinox and it's about damned time! I have been counting the days and I'm thrilled that there's maybe an end soon to this mess we call winter! I'm not holding my breath tho, there's snow in the forecast for tomorrow...of course, it's my first full day off! Oh well, it can't last long because the ground has been warming up over the past couple weeks and the days are getting longer so the sun has been doing it's job. I've seen some daffodils coming up along the way and that's a very encouraging sight. I'll have to check mine and see if they are popping up yet.

I just discovered that I have the whole afternoon off! I'm going to leave the computer and do something fun. Have a good weekend!

  1. I have never been a veggie burger fan, but it's wonderful when you find something local that works for you on a diet. Enjoy. :)

    PS - I use mineral makeup too - but I never thought of looking for it on ebay. You smart girl.

  2. I laughed so much at that clown link, Gin...

    Don't take that wrong - I'm not laughing at the people who are scared of clowns...it's just that there were some funny comments over there.

    Personally - I love evil clowns. 'It' is my favorite Stephen King book ever! lol
    XOXO

  4. Yeah! Time off from work and it's spring. Same weather here, though. Chance of snow showers. I'll believe it when I see it.

    If I don't start a diet soon I'm gonna be in trouble. It will have to wait till after the weekend, though. There's too much cheesecake around!

    Happy Friday!
