Wise vs Worst Vending Machine #2

Do you have 2 different vending machines full of junk at your job?? Thank goodness we don't or I would be in a world of trouble!

Same as the post below..these are your choices..

  • Oatmeal Cookies
  • Jumbo Soft Pretzel
  • Animal Crackers
  • Soft/Chewy Candies
  • Nut Rolls
  • Taffy
  • Onion Chips
  • Pork Rinds
  • Popcorn Cakes

Wise choice..you guessed it, the popcorn cakes. I personally wouldn't choose those, I find it hard to eat something that looks like it came out of a package. You know those popcorn foam peanuts!

Popcorn is always the best choice(I could eat that) and NO you can't drench it in butter! If you are like me and can't do the popcorn cakes then opt for the animal crackers instead.

Worse choice..The Pork Rinds! Really though what are pork rinds? I have never had them and really don't think I ever will. Something about them isn't quite right. Pork rinds have 600 calories and 40 grams of fat per 4 oz serving.....geez, now I really want to know what they are! Google here I come!

Wise vs Worst Vending Machine #1

It is 3 pm and you are sitting at your desk with the munchies so what are you to do? Wait it out and see if the craving goes away, go for a walk or hit the vending machines.

Ok so you chose to hit up the vending machine and here are your food choices:

  • Potato Chips
  • Nacho Chips
  • Cheese Crackers
  • Pretzels
  • Candy Bars
  • Cup Cakes (my weakness)
  • Oreo Cookies
  • Doughnuts
  • Hard Candy
  • Chewing Gum

So what do you choose?? Wise Choice or Worst Choice, kinda like the angel and devil.

Wise Choice: Pretzels, they are crunchy and low in fat and high in carbs. Carbs will give you the energy. If your machine has baked chips or nachos those to are good choices.

Worst Choice: Hmmm which one to pick is all you need to worry about. Doughnuts are high in calories, full of sugar. The candy bar really isn't a good choice either! 300 calories and 15 grams of fat..eeek!

Geez...How Much Noise

can one person make?? I am downstairs on the computer and my son is upstairs moving around coffee tables! Why in the world do you need to move the coffee tables at 7:48 in the morning? Sometime he makes more racket than necessary, some days it sounds like I have 3 teenagers instead of one. It amazes me everyday how fast he is growing up..still a little stubborn but much more willing to do what he needs to do without be badgered at on a regular basis. That is all I can ask for I guess.

Today I have a lot to do, my mother in law is coming over, ugh, I have to take pictured of my son and right now I think I need to go to the gym! I need to prepare myself for the mother in law visit! This will be the first time she has come over, literally, we moved in over the 4th of July weekend.
