If you aren’t acquainted with the following things, you must drop what you are doing at once and acquaint yourself. It is of utmost importance. Go NOW and ACQUAINT, I tell you!
Recently, I was in the mood for something sweet and something minty, and sauntered on up to our vending machine at work. Don’t judge. There, I bought the most delicious candy bar EVER. I crave one every day, but have only allowed myself a total of 3 because I don’t want to be like Augustus Gloop from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. So, if you’ve never tried one of these little do-goods, Drop what you are doing and go NOW.
Michael & I stopped this weekend at the whole foods store to buy some carob covered raisins. While there, Michael introduced me to my #2 favorite item of today. It’s 100% of Naked wonder. The label claims that it is Mighty Mango, 100% Pure Juice Smoothie. Even though it’s supposed to be “All Natural,” I definitely won’t be gulping one of these down every day. The calories alone are enough to sabotage everything else I want to eat for an entire week. You can better believe, though, when I’m looking for a tasty treat, I’ll be scoring one of these suckers.
My friend brought me in some homemade empanadas to work that her husband had cooked for her 30th birthday. Let me tell you, it’s been a LONG time since something that delectable has reached my taste buds. Every bite reminded me of a beach vacation…or camping on a mountain near a fishing stream…or a cruise to lalaland… you get the point…It was FABULOUS. The inside filling is composed of beef, potato, and hard boiled egg. I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful the combination is. Pardon me– I’m mopping up my drool as I type.
Now, even though I’ve only shared food, it does NOT ALL have to be about food, eh? Even though I often find myself dwelling and centered on the food that I eat, this particular favorite does not relate to food. This favorite is a family of people in my life of whom I simply adore. I love them for being silly, for being childlike, for being sincere in their love for me, for being ornery, for being my friends, for wanting me to read books, for not sitting still, for having the wiggles (and I don’t mean the video guys), and for being great kids. (Not to mention, their parents are doing a terrific job, too.) And for these reasons and more, I share my very favorites…
My name is Maren and I approve this message.
