These are cheddar-flavored so maybe not with this particular package 😅
Two of my favorite memes.
These are white cheddar. Pretty good!
Got some rice cakes. They are pretty good. The ingredients list is short. No sugar, very few carbs. I don't know what they are made of. Air and crunch, I guess.
I woke up at 3 am with the BEST idea for this years's trunk or treat at church 😏
I wondered why I have been feeling happier lately & then I realized it's been almost a week since I heard Trump's stupid voice on the radio.
You might find this hard to believe, but I am not a professional 😅
Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September.
When my brother was incarcerated, I learned to use Western Union 😅
Fifth-grader: What's a moneygram? Me: *explains* FG: So it's like physical Venmo?
Fifth-grader wanted to go to a cat cafe for his birthday outing. Good choice.
It fell away, and the mother moved around to nose at the baby. Kit jumped back as a blob of veiny flesh and blood slid out of the mufela and fell to the sand with a plop. “Oh good, the afterbirth.” Raina looked at Kit. “You okay? You look like you’re going to throw up.” #WIPSnips
Time traveler: I know you! Thousands of years from now, people still remember your name! Ea Nasir: Really? Wow, what did I do?
Yes, thank you! 😄
We eat that a lot, our family likes it better than beef for burgers.
Cheese made with oats...somehow?
I have never had good dairy-free ice cream, so that's good to know!
I accidentally bought a frozen pizza that was 'meat-lovers' but it was vegetarian, dairy-free & gluten-free. We were like, 'What is this abomination? Let's make it anyway & see how bad it is.' Well, now I stand humbled before you because you know what? That fake pizza is GOOD.
A THIRD TRUCK APPEARED. In the end, they fixed the immediate problem for a decent price and are sending an estimate to (gulp) replace the whole system. Crisis averted for now.
We were having issues with the HVAC so we called a place & the guy has been here 90 minutes. A second truck from the company just showed up. Pray for us.
This time the shirt is awesome.
The Ferals: my girls are fixed (ears are tipped) but this orange cat that had been hanging around finally let me get within 3 feet of him, and he is definitely male. At least no one will be having kittens on my porch, but I need to lure him in & get him fixed. Preventing unwanted pregnancies!
OMG it's so cute
If some creep was leering at my kids in the airport, I would throw a sandwich at his face.
I remember this commercial!
I've been very, very angry for the past 24 hours. I need to chill for my own sake. Anyone have something funny or cute or wholesome to share?

This belonged to Daisy Chain Books in Canada. They also have a physical store!
Maybe they just don't want to socially connect with a weirdo who constantly tells lies.
I heard a distinctive CRONCHCRONCH from the porch and peeked outside... We got ourselves another possum!

On FB I said that 'thoughts & prayers' are worthless without common sense action. Someone replied that only prayer can save us & common sense has nothing on Christ. Well, WHERE IS HE? Not here. That's why humans need to follow his example & CARE FOR OTHERS.

I am now, thanks! Just grateful it happens so infrequently. I feel terrible for people who get migraines often.
Yes, please. Show us the proof you found in 5 months when real scientists who have been studying autism for decades are just now putting together pieces of an incredibly complex puzzle. Studies have found changes in the brains of fetuses that are associated with autism. thehill.com/policy/healt...
Kids said they needed more body wash so like, it has to be this one, right?
The library is very quiet today. But I am getting my mandatory harrassment/discrimination/bullying training done, so that's convenient.
The guns we let people own in this country are so ridiculous the coward didn't even have to go inside to MURDER CHILDREN.
Had a vestibular migraine yesterday. Apparently they can be triggered by hormonal changes; I had one when my first kid was little, one right around the time I went into perimenopause, and now. I wonder if this means I'm moving into a new stage. I'm glad they haven't been a regular thing. They SUCK.
Went to Michaels for fondant & saw this. I want to display it all year long.
#authors Did I mention I edit videos for authors? I can make book trailers or record your reading and fancy it up. It's so easy to get your own videos for your website. No PMs. Contact me for more details. I am ridiculously affordable. efdeal@gmail.com
We encourage it! His grandma is always getting old tech from her friends when they upgrade. He brought his aunt's 2012 MacBook back to life too (and installed Linux on it). It's stuff they were going to trash anyway so no harm in letting him experiment.
Husband had me make a Tunnels & Trolls character for a prospective future game. I made a dwarf with 24 strength. Her name is Rocksanne. Rocksanne Mason.
Fifth-grader is obsessed with installing Linux on everything so he has been trying on this 2009 iMac my mom's friend gave him and he just got it to work. Apparently this is a great achievement so I am very proud of him. This is his third old computer he has revived.
Fifth-grader: I'm going to make tea when we get home. Me: It's 92 degrees, that sounds awful (he only drinks hot tea). Fifth-grader: It's not awful, it's self-care.
I saw this headline & the article had a note that they included the wrong answer to question 2 and had changed it 😅 (I aced that shit, BTW 😂)
Pulling weeds along the fenceline. The brambles are back. But I also made a new acquaintance: conehead katydid.
Reading an indie novel two separate people recommended to me. They said it's slow, I said I like slow... But it's slow because there is SO MUCH exposition. Going to keep reading it but as a side piece to something else. I'll get through it eventually.
Been there. I have had two events where I sold exactly one book, I didn't even make back my table fee. And others (like today) where I barely made it back. I think this happens to most authors at some point, so you're not alone!
Well, that wasn't the most disappointing market I have ever done. It was maybe the fourth most disappointing. Also it was at a library and the library is awesome and I was so jealous. I want my library to be that awesome too. Going to eat BBQ & watch anime tonight.
I am 46 so if I stand too long, my back hurts, but if I sit too long, my back hurts. So when I am at these markets I'm popping up and down like a prairie dog lol
Off to the Alt Art Market in my cutest dress!
I know, I live in Alabama. It was a joke that I am too lazy to dress like that even if I wanted to
IDK, I got it from my library, which only has DVDs.
It's great
Yeah, that's why it was a joke.
Nope, everyone says they're comfortable but I can't get past the hideousness 😄
I learned StalaCtites are on the Ceiling but StalaGmites are on the Ground.
in a pride, lionesses do most of the hunting so hopefully my lion would be a lazy male who doesn't know how to hunt 😅
My titles? share.google/ISJgNR2dUR5m...
I'm already an author but I don't remember if the outfit or the authoring came first. It's a chicken & egg quandary 😄
Nah it's mostly because I am too lazy to deal with 1930s fashion and pin curling my hair.
Oh I'm far too lazy to deal with a 1930s wardrobe, that was the joke.
I have been pulling weeds from along the fence line and I have never seen so many different kinds of spiders in my life. Sorry, little friends.
I may have found my perfect Grogu design
Luckily I just finished the movie when I saw this. I was like whoa, Sammy grew up to be Buddy Guy?
Nah, because the doctor said I'm on the border of prediabetes and I do everything else right, but probably still ate too much sugar. I ain't playing with that.
I thought the dance scene was interesting, with people from different time periods playing music & dancing.
I initially thought that too but it is far more serious.
I like your style.
It is true though, with the climate crisis we'll all have to walk around in string bikinis eventually or die of heatstroke.
I know. I live in Alabama.
Yeah, it was a joke. And yeah, Sinners is great so far.
Yeah, it was a joke.
Watching Sinners. 'It's a shame no one dresses like that anymore,' I say as I wear khaki shorts and a t-shirt and prop my feet in my Hello Kitty socks on the coffee table.
Hopped on the Husband's scale on a whim and the number was 2 less than the number on the doctor's scale a week ago (I know this isn't necessarily accurate). Maybe cutting sugar & carbs really does make you lose weight. How annoying.
Pretty sure hippos kill more humans per year than all those other animals combined.

I love my job but I am looking forward to having the next 3 days off. This week has felt very long, probably because we had to go to two different Parent Nights on Tuesday & Wednesday at school 🥱
I was like uhhhhh let me just print you out a list & you can tell me if there's one that looks interesting.
Patron asked if Danielle Steel had any new books out in the last couple years.

Signed! Thanks!
Finally!
Most of the peanut butters here have at least 4 grams. The kind I used today, advertised as low-sugar, has 1 🤷♀️ Is there a lot of sugar in dried dates? I've read you should avoid dried fruit as it usually has added sugar.
I am slightly disgusted (not a big oatmeal fan) to report that I made a serving of oatmeal with a tablespoon of low-sugar peanut butter at 6:30 am, couldn't even finish the entire serving, and wasn't hungry again until 11 am 🙄 Thanks for the suggestion, @tanweerdar.com !
Mad jealous, btw
It was a high of 94, heat index 102, with up to 70% humidity. The pic is very deceptive 😅
