Blue Diamond in the Rough

After my little snit last night (which turned into a little bit of a cry fest in the dark with my cats) I decided that I needed to go to Walgreens to lift my spirits. I like to browse around the store and pick out a few things. I was listening to the radio and they were talking about seasonal affective disorder so I picked up a light bulb that simulates the sun for my office (I don't like the overhead florescent lighting that's provided), a package of chicken flavored Ramen and while I was checking out...I was tricked into buying some almonds by the register.

Not a bad impulse buy, if you ask me (instead of the $12 shimmering face stuff I was going to buy.) I just opened them...and I'm in love. Blue Diamond has come out with a line of bold flavors. Normally, I HATE things that are labeled BOLD or EXTREME or Ultimate but I LOVE salt and vinegar chips- so it only seemed natural to give the small envelope a whirl. UHMAGAWD they're so good.

Baby update: I have one item on my registry as suggested by Michelle. I don't have a ton planned for today so hopefully I'll have some time to scour my sister and sister-in-law's as well as Michelle's registries so I don't have to reinvent the wheel because I sure don't feel like it. My dad made a pretty good suggestion as well- register for all the diapers (two different sizes of 7 diapers/day X 90 days = 630 diapers!?) , Desitin, barf rags, onesies, bath supplies, and other essential baby gear that will last for three months so new mom and dad don't have to run out to the baby store if they don't need to. Dad, sometimes I question your motives...but this is a nice little gem.

Also- if you've checked, you'll see that I've listed the due date on there as April 20th (obvs, I think it's funny.) No, our due date hasn't changed but another little gem from sister-in-law was that similar to your wedding registry, BabiesRUs gives coupons to parents to buy the rest of the stuff on the registry but they don't often send them until AFTER the listed due date. We're still having our little nugget on or around May 8th...we're just trying to beat the BabiesRUs machine.

I'm well on my way to knocking out my seasonal blues...I'm sitting on a big ball with my Sun and Sand candle warmer on full blast and my full spectrum light shining. Good and good.
