day 1
So, here I am at the airport all alone. I can practically hear Eric Carmen singing All By Myself in the background. But this was what I wanted, a trip where I make all the decisions.
Unfortunately I tend to over think things and second guess myself. I’m beginning to wonder if I actually have a reservation at the hotel or if I only imagined calling them. It’s an adventure so I guess time will tell.
My airport meal is Whataburger. Could be worse I suppose.
I wish I could have slept longer but my nerves kept me awake.
I have a long list of things to do on day one. It’s going to be a long day and a long time before my head hits the pillow. Sigh

Las Vegas
So, I know I haven't had an entry in a very very, very long time. But I ran out of things to talk about, so sue me.lol. I now have something to talk about and it will probably take a great deal of time to go over everything so I’m starting a little bit early.
I am going to Las Vegas for the second time this year. I went for my birthday in June, and although I did have a good time. I didn’t get to do nearly all the things I wanted to do. So now I’m going back to do those things. The first leg of my journey begins tomorrow morning early. I am taking an Uber to the airport. That actually made me nervous thinking about it. Because I never know, do I chit chat? do I not chitchat? Do I sleep on the way there?What is the proper protocol for Uber riding? But no worries avid reader, haha, I talked to a friend of mine and it turns out he recently started driving for Uber, and he will be outside in the morning waiting for me so I don’t have to be sitting there with the awkward chitchat/silence.
I’m hoping he takes me exactly where I need to go so I’m not lost because quite frankly I can get lost in my own backyard.
My different entries will include all the different things I eat and all the different places I go during my two days stay there and I will hopefully be able to amuse anybody who decides it’s worth reading about. so until tomorrow.
Since I am posting this after I am already back I will go ahead and include pics of what I ate.
It was actually not as interesting as I would have liked but it is what it is.

Old Year Out. New Year In.
2016, a year of much overeating and enjoying food way too much. So, as I am once again trying to eat better. I am going to show all my pictures of things I or a friend ate this year.
Going forward I know sometimes I will fail and sometimes I will succeed. But either way I will just keep trying.
Until next year,
eat well.

Cereal, how do I love thee?
So, I know I said before in past posts that I had given up cereal. But I
love cereal.
I love cereal, yes I do. I love cereal, how about you? That's a little something funny I like say. Anywho, I started eating cereal again even though it was against my best judgement. And I decided that I should tell you my favorite cereals. Just because I'm fun that way.
Well, the top of the list is Cookie Crisp of course.Cookies and mild in a bowl. How can that be bad? And in no particular order after that is Chocolate Cheerios, Apple Jacks, Honeycomb, and Cocoa Pebbles. Honorable mention going to anything in the Chex family.
And of course too many others to mention every one.
They were each and everyone loaded down with sugar and lots of other things that I should definitely not be eating.
Oh, and I use unsweetened almond milk on top. Which has less sugar and calories, but has more sodium. And since recently I have developed a sensitivity to Salt it turns out that that's not doing me any favors at all.
There are also some cereals that I will not eat. Sugar bears. They got too soggy in the milk. Grape nuts. What is that really? Kind of tastes like rocks in my opinion. Any kind of grits, or Malt-O-Meal, and oatmeal is kind of maybe yes maybe no. It all has to do with texture, consistency, and how long it's going to take me to make it. Mornings are not the time to cook an in depth meal.
But sadly, I'm going to have to give it up again. Because the waistline just seems to keep expanding. And I know that these things are not helping me no matter how much I enjoy them.
So as soon as my last gallon of milk is gone. I will be giving up my cereal again. At least for now. It was certainly fun while it lasted. I think it reminded me of how much fun it was opening a box of cereal when I was a kid. Me with my big Jethro bowl of cereal and enjoying my chocolate flavored milk after the cereal was gone.
It is no wonder that I am such an unhealthy person. Because I love food. No surprise revelations there, eh?
But if you enjoy cereal and you have any kind of self-control, I do recommend enjoying your cereal in the morning or whatever time of day you like to eat it because it does taste good. Just not the whole box at once.
Until next time,
eat well.
Goodbye to you my trusted friend We've known each other since we were nine or ten..

Halloween
I know Halloween is over. But it's never too late to talk about candy.
I'll say right off the bat that the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is my favorite. Followed closely by the Hershey's chocolate. That's milk chocolate not dark chocolate or white chocolate, because gross.
I can tell you another thing I don't like. And that would be circus peanuts. Nasty orange marshmallow wanna-bees. Followed by peeps. Or anything with goo in the middle. Such as chocolate covered cherries.
Now I love chocolate, and I love cherries. However when they put them together and put that mystery goo in the center, it just makes no sense at all to me.
I'm going to steal this. I heard someone say recently, (Jimmy Fallon I think), it's funny that you teach your kids never to take candy from strangers. But on Halloween that little rule goes out the door. You go knock on the door and ask a total stranger for candy one day out of the year.
I think maybe Halloween has always been my favorite holiday because it was the no muss, no fuss holiday. There's no reason to argue, there's no reason to fight. Not really a big meal for the day. Just dressing up and having fun. And that's fun any day of the year.
I was always one to make my own costume and I hand out the good stuff. No crappy candy at this house, no sir. Candy bars and yes, I give out toys as well. Just in case the candy can't be enjoyed due to food allergies or diabetes or whatever.
Holidays should be enjoyed and celebrated. Especially ones involving free candy.
Until next time,
eat well.
