i planned to share a low cal snack but it was awful

Jul 29, 2022

Katie, my niece that’s not a niece, is one of the fat girls in our diet group of three. We’re almost at the 3 week mark and she’s noticeably thinner. Jerilyn and I… not so apparent. I’m honestly ok with that. What I’m not ok with is the recipe Katie shared with me for a low fat snack.

Cucumber ranch slices are nasty.

Excitedly, Katie explained that if you simply slice a cucumber, put those slices in a baggie with a packet of ranch seasoning and shake it up, you’ll have the best diet snack ever. She lied. It was awful. No photo either because it was nothing but sludge in that bag and looked as bad as it tasted.

Trends I’m late on…

Scanning Facebook today I noticed a bajillion people sharing selfies taken in their bathroom mirror. What’s the purpose of that? Not to miss out on a trend — even one that’s been around forever — I took my first mirror selfie.

Another trend I’m late on — but that I’m having fun with — is Wordle. I didn’t download the app for it, I just go to the New York Times and get my shot once per day. Try it out… it’s only been popular forever. 🙂
