So I've waited 4 weeks for my local Publix to start carrying the Hostess 100 Calorie Pack Coffee Cakes because I love the originals and had a coupon.
I was so excited that they were finally available that I bought 2 boxes, 6 packs in each box.
I got it home and managed to wait to eat one until after I finished my lunch.
What a huge disappointment!
When I opened the package, I actually laughed out loud at how small they were. Each "cake" was the size of my thumbnail...okay, that's an exaggeration...they were about the size of a mini muffin. They also tasted like cardboard with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. And to top it off, I think they gave me indigestion.
Now I "have" to eat 11 more packages of them. At least they are only 100 calories.

Here and There
Last Saturday, Aunt M came over with the boys to play with Lil J while her hubby was home sick. R played quietly by himself and L and Lil J had a ball playing with toy cars and books.
Last Sunday, we spent the afternoon at my brother's with his family. It was a beautiful day and the kids went fishing in the neighborhood, rode bikes and played around in the garage. Lil J went peepee on the potty at our house that night for the first time and Big J promised him a present if he went for us. So on Tuesday afternoon, on the way home from the eye doctor, after Lil J was fitted for glasses, we stopped at CVS and he picked out his very own Mr. PotatoHead, just like his big cousin has. Then we had pizza with H&J because Big J had to work late.
This Saturday, we brought breakfast over to Tutu and PopPop's so they could spend some time with their great grandson. He managed to entertain Tutu for almost 3 hours and then fell asleep in the car. It was a good transfer that let me and Big J take a 3 hour nap ourselves. So much for watching our Netflix movies. That night, we had a babysitter and Big J and I went out to dinner with our friend's the Blacks at the Rustic Inn. Too bad no one told me it was a messy, crab eating place that requires bibs and sicks throughout the restaurant. Since I rarely get to go out nice, I got dressed up not knowing what kind of place it was and somehow, I managed to stay clean. We had garlic bread, Dungeness Crab, Clams Rockefeller and corn on the cob. We were supposed to go to Jackson's (famous ice cream place) but no one had any room for dessert.
Sunday, we took Lil J and Rocky out on the boat. The weather was beautiful and despite how hot it was, we had a great cool breeze off the water. While Lil J napped in the afternoon, I headed over to the Coral Springs Art Festival where I had a giant Jamba Juice smoothie and hot candied almonds for lunch. I bought a couple of magnetic picture frames but couldn't find a new wind chime which was my real reason for going. After a quick shower, we headed over to the Bank Atlantic Center for a Panther's hockey game and had a nice time at the CareersUSA suite. It's hard to sit in the cheap sits after being spoiled like that.

Now It's March
We had a really nice weekend. Saturday morning we got up nice and early and headed to downtown Fort Lauderdale for the Humane Society Walk for the Animals. Big J's company raised money for the event and about 17 people were there to walk their dogs. The 17 were from his company, there were thousands of people and thousands of dogs too. We had H&J with us, Lil J and Rocky the dog too. After the walk, we headed home for naps and showers.
Saturday night, my mom and dad took us out to dinner at Grande Lux at the Sawgrass Mills Mall. Lil J was a really good little boy, ate all his chicken fingers and pigged out on Mommy's Jasmine Rice. Too bad it was so chilly out because it would have been nice to walk around (except my tush still hurts from my surgical fiasco weeks ago).
Sunday we went to Denny's for breakfast. We like to call that White Trash Sunday. If you saw the crowd, you would know what I'm talking about. Lil J was an angel at the table (again). Then Big J and I spent the afternoon hanging up new Orange Bowl Memorabilia and pictures in our guest room/office. Since they are knocking the OB down, we order some of the mosaic tiles from the West End Zone and one of our orange plastic seats. It's in a really cool display case that is hanging under a panoramic picture.
We spent Sunday evening relaxing in front of the TV watching Elmo Goes Potty for the 30th time and then headed for bed. I think I slept for about 3 hours because I just couldn't get my mind to shut down.
That's it for the weekend. On to a new week.
