Day 176 (Wednesday 4/29)

Happy hump Day blogger buddies!! Only 2 more days till Friday! Today was my day off for exercise. It was nice to get a few extra zzzz’s! The cantaloupe is almost gone! I had some more for breakfast, along with some watermelon, and yogurt for 2 points.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5X_h2eUqbtiYIP2xZo4obFgk5vroYA0SEGawXpyX6WEOoC1UlAkOUyQ-f-LOSNnBll8_3wsnvlHx8PsdgmXONCSvI4EMg5_HwpCpCK0MmvM7lgG_wtkiaz6WAr_EgreEJOag2Ynx6We-/s1600-h/DSC02368%5B8%5D.jpg"><img align="left" alt="DSC02368" border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv2I-ooKhZhPrv_-YtQHyk0-OrpYUIuNUVTPTNMJV_1xF3xIwZS41GWNeFwauV7y_Vjte2YZBLyVSnJeztopcZw5A-qq-lY7-YuxodmLgQJJa37Oe2aTYT55AjSmKv4R_hzDx9dI2Pa3Sj/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC02368" width="404"></a>                   <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitjHcxU1gFZo40s24APJGU5yS7ekZPaKewN5jsDx9_QKOrhPQXZx_jalChGZctkFdgvBFdwq4-iBb1jGOZp7jH6fzZXBQW2ZLD2ze5cK29w1h_aD_vsHFK_54vsMS_nv90Ca3XEx8hbc2M/s1600-h/DSC02369%5B18%5D.jpg"><img align="left" alt="DSC02369" border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn1Yv1vB2eXdqtwf75-ADOzEYN4u4lcxDgU6e_SVji_ZiZzsMrDq8kAMmAiPQ4VctqdUlqxdbljMwiEJoGpjggczKxqYPi-eeG-xkMzUutNLy0y2oPFka0pmZFi6uKoPyBklTTGt-AMxJv/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC02369" width="390"></a>Mid morning I tried out a free sample (baked cheddar snacks) I got at my WW meeting last night for 2 points. I don’t think these are new. When I was on ww back in 2005 before I got married I ate these ALL the time! They remind me a lot of cheetoes! <img alt="DSC02370" border="0" height="373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3eDU-ob4XJFUE6F7mucWHEaqwLzfCWbRKqw-ssc6Xrekk8DQmQDThsXA8SQFP4LLdLcre5CKD-jfzmMvlVKywbPF2rSXVr6cLaQkx_5W7t99mjceTegdEbLvutiPdURkBmG6wnoj4N5L3/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02370" width="487"> My 2nd snack of the morning was yogurt, grape nuts, and strawberries for 3 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQBKAAc1_gX8zTkRHhbXn9NGtJy62MCXom0rEsfYsjJDfFm0GPKu_v7zvDJDBkcu5N6JEnZn6fjC3RzBCcaI1MuP3p5l_jRDnQEMAY_Y4KV5FHYdPLO_VsV0bVxj0B-7CWY0Edj6ANp4km/s1600-h/DSC02371%5B6%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02371" border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGvoS6Oul_-li6lej4IxXjy4-55cunZq85FQjtO-PwcpFFZ3UphTx6U800eSzssqWbylTiyUgE2pvDgJxwovvKRi5eQUpbemDPclOp2oVmTR_QQdWT5-1s4v_sMf5FhxmM4QbwGQnkYMhw/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02371" width="487"></a>On my lunch break today I made a quick grocery run. Hy-Vee (our local grocery store) has something called “Wellness Wednesday” where you get 15% off everything in the health food section. I needed PB2 and of course wanted to save some extra $$! I also saw these. There were several flavors, but I chose the “chocolate cookie caramel pecan”.  The second picture has a few “high points” of the snack. They were pretty good, not too much chocolate though. They came to 2 points per bag. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQoBRhgk-4qS2Y0GYRHqYOWg3Pi3hf6P-U7enVERB0KWIexRYDokAFJBsyYd0F__nvqG9_IIkAumieEu4LVHe536vQmR0yiyjmXqRUMaxpMI1HXuEkMm9GP6WkKGiU3C1SQ3qZ8VrJxzX2/s1600-h/DSC02372%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02372" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08TzsSQV-bnATuvPWKh2SzM6E1uxhqJ1u7gPI-Hj9xFP4ywd4HaP0kj6kIw9GpWCnw1H7yvxQA8uCw6svXFaJBZDSn3ZY6fAgWQJDrjDcFl7LgBiKTyWFi3MwWFqlhAwolJTQ-dzuSYWc/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02372" width="404"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDw-stHxBDu8YnOD7OzWuZWnKHkCrtB9SayoxySEVmlqnq5oPaiIyroIc4BlwGKpUG3dRhuvLwVTS3AFNb7tp8Wzilgj1EdmaAF7nEJ8Q5_F3w1L0Ph12v9-5RnAmAKCfmPzT4_5DXi1W_/s1600-h/DSC02373%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02373" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSrSKJ_4_EuCrbSsBCJDDDKBvArMUFN4DSp3xTLEUCE8QBhR-fTIv94LZPP0p5df6l_uZdbAqlpQ691AjRK1pVvz9viiw8RPCLwoAcLbNsJ-yiYP8vVYbYy-BVUp4-5Q2XYhZFOy1kZifM/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02373" width="404"></a>   Since I made a stop, I didn’t have a lot of time to make anything for lunch. So I popped in a Green Giant frozen dinner. But this time I added some extra broccoli!

Not sure what she was looking for out the door, but I just love how she always stands on her back legs! I know I may be a bit biased, but she is just so cute! After work I met DH to take our vehicles to get the oil changed. I had a two $5 off coupons that expire tomorrow so I wanted to get them used! I had a fiber one bar for 2 points while waiting and also a ww pb cup for 2 points.

Prom Night In Austin, Nevada

I just love my job! Last Saturday, I drove the loneliest road in America (Hy 50), the old Pony Express Trail, from Tahoe to Austin. As I came around a small mountain, I looked out over a tan-gold plain at sunset to see the snowcapped peaks of the Toiyable Range (Nevada's 2nd longest of 312 mountain ranges, a range with glacial features going back to the Pleistocene era), and had to press hard on my faith to believe a site so beautiful could be real. Then came a solo supper at the Toiyabe Cafe next door to our little Church. The Toiyabe Cafe is down home and unpretentious with antlers on its walls. As I was savoring my Ortega Burger, in came 4 teenagers dressed to the 9's in evening attire surprisingly well fitting. The girls were super dolled up. Their hair must have taken hours to fix. They were embarrassed by their finery and giggling compuslively to each other. The boys one could understand only if one had been a boy and had some vague memory of it. (Mine is fading.) They were awed and terrified by the girls. Mysterium tremendum, mysterim fascinans. And so they were ignoring the girls with all their might. The nervous girls sought solace in mutual silliness; the hapless boys, in mutual dufusness and thereby avoided each other. After rehearsing for an ordination, and moving into a room at my beloved Pony Canyon Motel, I strolled down to the International Bar. It was much as you would expect. A dark, Western bar with predicatable personalities sitting on the stools. Vic, the weathered Serbian bar tender was playing pool with Jay, the 32 year old smiling Native American (I'm guessing Western Shoshone) wearing a cowboy hat. On the largish tv in the corner, The Lion In Winter was showing. Stop to remember this film classic to grasp the incongruity. I got a table and watched the medieval drama unfold: Alice: Do you know what I want for Christmas? I want to see you suffer. Eleanor of Aquataine: Alice, just for you. And the two women, wife and lover of Henry II respectively, fall into each others arms weeping. Meanwhile a large overweight dog, whom I will learn at Church the next day is named Oso, wanders about. A woman comes in, sees Oso, and goes back to fetch her Pomeranian puppy, who trots up and down the bar -- not the floor, literally, the bar. Lion ends. Next film: the 1932 black and white production of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde for which Frederick March received the Oscar for Best Actor. The ranks on the bar stools are thinning out. The intimacy of the truly faithful begins to inform their discourse. The woman with the Pomeranian confesses she is saving her money for a breast reduction surgery. The guys at the bar are mightily opposed. Vic leaves the room, comes back, flings a Bible onto the bar, gives it to the woman as a gift, insisting she study the Bible diligently and it will reveal to her God's opinion of breast reduction surgery. She takes the Bible and promises to study it thoroughly. I am not called into this conversation -- fortunately. However, Vic does learn I am a bishop and occasionally refers the patrons to me for guidance. They look at me, laugh nervously, then look away and change the subject. But as they leave, they each and every one come by to shake hands. The next day, our new priest, Darla, tells me about Dynamite Bob who works at the Toiyabe. He bought a house up the hill, probed about in the basement and found several very old cases of dynamite. He stuffed sticks of dynamite in his pockets, walked downtown, and attempted to trade the dynamite for drinks. The bomb squad was called and it was an exciting day in Austin. Truly, there is no better town for us to have a Church.
