Stack of Ritz ...

Stack of Ritz

Photo-A-Day #676

Ah RITZ crackers. I love RITZ crackers. When I was a kid I would eat a sleeve of them each day after school in front of the Nintendo. I was an avid Nintendo player and have all of the games and components that I ever had as a kid. I even have R.O.B.B.I.E. the robot. I have about 50 games too. Now with the Nintendo Wii out I will probably get a few of those games again, well at least Super Mario Bros.

But the reason I took today’s picture is in the details. First there is the detail of those delicious buttery crackers, I’m sorry but no other cracker is that good. I’ve had the townhouse ones but they just don’t compare to a fresh buttery RITZ. Notice how the RITZ has a golden color and grains of salt that you can see. Oh I just love those crackers.

Now, notice the serving size. 5 lousy crackers. Man, that is maddening. I have been trying very hard to stick to serving sizes as of late to track my intake of food and some of these serving size things are just killing me. For instance I like Tostitos chips and salsa. I can take 7 chips to work with my Mr. Bento Lunch Jar top container full of salsa. 7 chips does not fill me up, sure I could take 14 and double the calories and everything else. But I’m going to try and stick to a serving size.

I’ve also been hitting the gym regularly as well. I’m not only gunning for some smaller pants, but I never want to have to ask for the demo seatbelt (you know the one they use to show you how to use a seatbelt AFTER they expect you to be belted in, but I’m not going to go into that right now) so I can be properly belted into the plane. If things ever get to that point I’m going to stop flying. There’s not enough room in the seat as it is, no sense in me making it tighter if I can help it.

Plus I’m over 30 now and these health risks are flying in from everywhere. Not enough water, too much water, not enough exercise, sleep it all adds up. The thing is I know that I’m a traveler, I love to travel, but being on the road has done some damage because of the choices I made. And so I’ve got to stop hitting McDonalds and other fast food places and get myself in a healthier mindset to make choices on the road. And if it means cutting down to 5 crackers then I’m going to enjoy the heck out of those 5 crackers.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
