Love It Lunes

This week I love Chex Mix. Honey Nut Chex Mix. You are salty. You are sweet. You are good for snacky cravings. You are not as high in sugar as candy. You are not as high in salt as chips or other salty snacks. You are low in saturated fat. You allow me the illusion that I'm getting a healthy treat. You were also pretty cheap on sale with a coupon. I love your cousin Dark Chocolate Chex Mix too, but she is a little less healthy.


Win. 22/35, 62.9% win.

This week I love the library. Library, you are amazing. You are great. You save me from myself when I have impulses to break the budget buying even more books. You cater to my every whim. Self checkout in the children's area? You deliver. Books from other branches? You deliver. Reserve shelf moved closer to the children's section to avoid walking through the whole library with kids in tow? You deliver. Online renewals? Late fee grace periods? Online reservations? You deliver. I love you library. I see us together for a long, long time.


(Lunes is Spanish for Monday. Goodness knows we all love Mondays. I justify my usurpation of the Spanish word for the cause of alliteration and by virtue of living an hour away from the Mexican border. Also I took two years high school Spanish.)

This week I love...yoga. Yoga, you are relaxing and make me feel all zen-like. You give me a sense of accomplishment when I realize you are not as hard and scary as you looked. I love your warrior pose and your dancer pose. I love your calming breathing exercises. And you give me a workout without the drudgery of jogging or something equally repellent. However, you also remind me of Hogi Yogi. Mmmmmm. Yoga.

Win.

This week I love World's Finest chocolate covered almonds. Oh, almonds, I bought 4 boxes of you at Walgreen's in December when you were on sale 2 for $5. And then I got a $5 rebate back. So for $1.25 a box, I have you. Yummy, yummy candy. (It gets a bad point for price because it was not free, and there's no more rebate for me to go buy more.) I really like the taste of your chocolate, and you have just the right amount on each almond. And I see on the website that you also come in dark chocolate! I have to be careful though. I discovered that I can easily eat an entire box of you in one sitting. Which is bad. Because 1/4th of your box has 35% of my daily recommended saturated fat. Ugh. Now I feel dirty. It's probably just as well that I refuse to pay full price for you. Unless there's another rebate...


Still a win, but a dangerous one.

This week I am loving my Wii Fit. Ah, Wii Fit. You were my coveted Christmas present. You greet me every day before getting down to business. You are a little chatty, and it sounds like you're surprised every time I step on you, but you tell me I'm a Yoga Master and provide cheering and catchy music. I have no choice but to break out into a victory dance at each new achievement. If only my husband would stop beating my slalom high score...


As you can see, the good points far outweigh the bad points, and the Wii Fit is a clear Win!
