Thyme For An Update

Hahahaha. Pun'd.



This sucker is doing pretty well lately. It's been rainy lately, though. But my plant needs sun. So.. I can't really move it out of the rain. My house is not designed well for gardening in terms of sunlight and stuff. It's annoying. Eh. Mr. Rosemary plant is doing fairly well, too, by the way. But tracking my rosemary plant is not as interesting, since it was never in as much peril as Mr. Thyme plant.

Tastylicious

I had this for lunch today. It was amazing. I had it for breakfast the two prior days. It was amazing then, too. Looking at the picture makes me want more right now. ): But I have no more egg white salad. And I brushed my teeth already. Which means no more eating for the day. Boo.

Amazing Plastic

I found this box when cleaning stuff out from under my bed. I don't know where the railroad track came from, but the rest of the box appears to be Legos. Legos are amazing. I never had my own Lego sets as a kid, just random boxes of leftover stuff my brothers had (like this), but as an adult I've collected two X-Wings, Hogwarts, another Star Wars set, another Harry Potter set, and a Hollywood stuntman movie set. Legos are amazing. I want the Pirates of the Caribbean ship, Queen Anne's Revenge that just came out. But... I don't really have anywhere to put it. But it looks so cool. 0:

Uh Oh

I did a bad thing and calculated the nutrition, or lack thereof, in the "healthy" crispy treats I made yesterday.



Each square (they're small, much smaller than your standard square) is 280 calories, 12 grams of fat, 5.6 grams of protein and 22.1 grams of sugar. Egads. That's AWFUL. I've only eaten two so far because it scares me. Especially when I'm trying to slim down a bit. So much for healthy squares ): should have just made marshmallow ones!

"Healthy" Squares

I stumbled upon this "healthy" version of Rice Krispy Treats a few months ago. I finally got around to making it. It takes brown rice syrup, peanut butter, puffed rice cereal and a dash of vanilla extract. I managed to throw this together in roughly five minutes and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Oh, I guess I threw in mini chocolate chips for good measure (texture, varying flavor). They're tasty and easy to make. And peanut buttery. They don't stick together as well as normally Rice Krispy Treats, but that's because there's no sticky marshmallow. I guess there's also no yummy marshmallow flavor. ]:

I want marshmallow krispy treats now. ]:

Shoes

Okay, so I know I had a picture of my closet yesterday, but I'm particularly proud of my organized shoes.



I bought a case of plastic shoe boxes from The Container Store and I've labeled each shoe box with the contents. My shoes now line the top shelf of my closet. They used to be jumbled in a pile at the bottom and kind of a pain to get to. Now I have easy access, er, well, I have to stand on my bed post to reach them, but, easier access than before. :D Plus, I can see all my shoes (except my boots are still on the floor of my closet).

Yay for The Container Store. :D

My Garments

I love my closet. Not as much as my bookshelf, but, almost as much. Growing up, I barely had use of my closet because my parents kept a lot of old stuff in there. Old clothes, old photography stuff, idk. Since then, I've cleaned it out and finally taken claim to the whole thing. My closet is pretty clean and i know where everything is. No "cleaning out the closet" (literally) needs to be done here. Yay, me. (:
