I will say, however, that the Boy Scouts do sell caramel popcorn covered in chocolate (I was in the scouts, and it was our biggest money maker), so they're not off scot free, either!

Cause your name is definitely not "blog" and, not knowing you, I think it would be out of place for me to say that I loved you. Haha :D I meant “your” blog.

Apparently it's low in fat and high in protein (like most meat. haha) Anyway, guinea pigs were one of the only animals that were able to be domesticated by ancient south American civilisations (llama and dogs were the other two). This is why a lot of historians (anthropologists?) believe that ancient American civilisations didn't do as well as, say Eurasian ones who had horses, cows, sheep, goats, ox, bison, blah blah blah. Also, with animals come disease. That's why, when Columbus came over to the Americas, they got ravaged by all the diseases, because they never had the ability to build up immunities like Eurasian civilisations could. Haha...I guess in summarisation, guinea pigs make healthful, yummy food! I don't think the rest was necessary, but I find it fascinating. :D I love you blog!

The only way I keep on plan is to make sure I have lots of that stuff on hand at all times. I need to have easy quick foods on hand too.

I'm still in the middle of learning how to plan - it's definitely not a natural talent. For the past few years I've been living at home and mostly either eating what everyone else eats (planned by my mother) or choosing from a well-stocked fridge (stocked by my mother). Which was very easy. The only disadvantage was that biscuits etc. were also readily available. Now we've moved out... and on the whole my husband seems to have taken over most of the planning and cooking (I help with the process, but mostly don't make the decisions). I didn't intend for it to work out that way, and it seems a bit feeble on my part, but he has stronger views about what we eat. Fortunately, his instincts are healthy: we eat a lot of steamed veggies - and we don't buy biscuits (yet). Ha! I’m still in the middle of learning how to plan – it’s definitely not a natural talent.

Did you get crushes in high school? And if you did, did you let them know? And, more generally, how did you feel towards boys and was your weight a factor at all? Thanks.

They never did this when I USED to live with them. I have kinda pushed them into it but then I was able to let go and they kept on. However when I move back out in a few months I'll be on my own again for that. The *bad* thing has been eating way too much ice cream. My family loves the stuff. Sure we are having "light" ice cream with half the fat and calories of regular. But still. Light ice cream ain't that light.

I'm more likely to plan a lot ahead--to figure out, for instance, what I'll have for supper each night for a week--and it helps so much. I'm much less likely to pick something up on the way home or dive into a bag of chips if I already know what I'm going to be eating. I can see how it wouldn't work for everyone, but I find it really helpful I very much agree with this.
