Aye, Tuesday again. But that means random thoughts and linkage.
- On Saturday, while we were waiting for our (very nutritious) Hungry Howie’s pizza, we wandered into World Market. I don’t know if you have one of these but it’s a great place to find quirky things. Anyway, they also have tons of funky candies and goodies from all over the world. We picked up some Haribo gummis, Sweet Tarts, one Turkish Delight, and I tried a new kind of sarsaparilla.
- Since then, Ash has had a taste for candy and Sunday night, he took Ell to the drug store. They got butterscotches (the kind like grandma used to keep in her purse) more Sweet tarts, nerds, and Smarties. Yum!
- I had this mental to-pay list in my head; all the stuff I needed to get/buy/pay next paycheck and now? I can’t remember one single thing! I swear I need to actually utilize my phone and make notes. (Instead of just playing Draw Something.)
- I spent most of Monday worrying about my bank account. See, on Friday, I bought new running shoes. I had a 15% off coupon so I went in, tried on multiple pairs, chose the newest version of my existing shoes, and paid. I then went next door and got lunch. Jamming my hand into my pocket for my debit card, I realized I had forgotten to use my coupon. SO, I went back into the shoe store and the woman said she’d just go ahead and cancel that transaction. Except it was still showing as being subtracted from my account (as a processing transaction anyway). My mother assured me that banks do this all the time; it was a Friday and they’d go ahead and use that money but clear it all up come Monday. Well, it’s Tuesday and both charges are STILL processing.
- On a whim I bought these Don Miguel burritos at Costco. They aren’t frozen and come in packs of 6 for 10 bucks. Let me tell you: ridiculously tasty! I have had one each of the last three days.
- I also got this trail mix that claims to taste like PB&J and you know what? It does! Almonds, peanuts, dried cranberries, raisins, oranges and strawberries. Amazing snack!
- I have to share this video with you. These are at-your-desk arm exercises and man, they’ll work you! I have five pound weights so it’s a wee bit harder than her one pounders but I have a feeling if I keep this up, my arms will look fabulous for summer.
- I left my debit card in my office yesterday so this morning, I have no coffee. And I had planned to hit up a CVS this morning for eye drops. No matter what allergy meds I take, my eyes are itchy. ARGH.
Now, I normally pride myself on knowing the names of the Man Candy models because even though I’m objectifying them, everyone deserves some credit. But these are unknowns and I don’t care. ‘Round here, it’s getting to be pool/beach season and this is all too appropriate. Enjoy!



Those guys are as good as cabana boys. I would happily get a sunburn watching them.
Isn’t it frustrating when your mental list takes a holiday?
Yum on the man candy. And a close second goes to butterscotch candies! I love men and butterscotch!
I hope the bank account situation works itself out quickly, and that your mental list returns!
I love the arms workout video! I’ve been trying to incorporate lifting weights while I ride my bike. This video has served to remind me the different tips of techniques I can use. I found the youtube video on my iPhone so I can refresh my memory later.
Mental lists are useless to me. The second I put something on my said “mental list” then it’s forgotten. In order for me to keep on top of the game, then I have to write everything down. My true lifesaver has been to schedule all payments online and if I need to make adjustments, then it’s easily done and I never forget to pay my bills.
Thanks for stopping by and I agree, we really haven’t had a winter, have we?
I need to make a list of my mental list or it gets lost in thought. Of course that’s only if I don’t lose the list on my mental list. 😉
I’m going to have to dig out my hand-weights and try those – then I won’t feel so guilty spending so much time at my desk. And make my arms look better for the sleeveless warm weather.
I hate when a pending charge sits there when really it should be canceled out immediately. I watch my bank account like a hawk to make sure it ‘disappears’ after the typical 4-day process. Hope yours disappears soon!
The man candy is especially yummy this week! 😉

I’m pretty sure your bank account will be ok, I’ve had situations like that before where I was wondering if it was going to charge me twice but it always seemed to work out.
I will have to try that workout because it looks intense for the arms. I would do 5 lb weights like you though not 1 lb…doubt I could do 20-40 reps of that!
Mmmm…hungry howies is soo good, we haven’t had that in a while I think this post has motivated me to get some this week!
Once again everything I was going to say about your post, the shoe I have never heard of, yummy burritos, credit card charges etc. is gone thanks to that picture!
SHAZAM!
Thanks for linking up and for providing my daily does of eye sugar!
Oops, I meant store not shoe. See, I’m totally distracted!
