Now, that’s my kind of Buddhism…..

well, actually–it’s ‘RELAXZEN‘ and IT WORKS.

Unfortunately, It took me a while to determine WHERE I bought this little elixir and I tried a few impostors along the way (38 calories and no joy later).

Since I tend to push myself to extremes (Let’s not even discuss 5-hour Energy Drinks and the Starbucks routine) it’s a nice way to unpeel a few balls of accrued unused fuel (besides repainting the house and assembling a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle at 2AM).

Of course, not quite as effective as a fifth of Chivas, but Alice doesn’t live there anymore. And, when you wake up the bonus here is that you can recognize the surroundings……

So, give Zenshots a whirl, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was. z-z-z-z-z

“Police” the red soled, measuring tape shoe in yellow and white with black markings is an arrestingly interesting capture on his more traditional ankle wrap shoes for Spring ‘11.
3 1/2 heel (sans platform) makes this a wearable ‘get-a-way’ shoe…and while it looks made to measure—it is definitely ‘ready to wear.’

Yeah, I saw that folding table next to the grocery store…that time of year again.

……Sure, I could pretend that I didn’t see them–but as our eyes locked and I spotted that box of ________ (fill in your specific blank: Mine is either Thin Mint or Pitter Patter Peanut Butter cookies) it became a foregone conclusion.

I had somehow missed the initial wave of cookie sales. Probably engrossed with CNN……OH NO! so, I was forced out of my rut and into foreign territory. As in:

Dulce de Leche

Now, it’s rumored that the company–like most companies world wide—is feeling that economic diet that we’re all forced to weigh (ha ha pun intended) in our budgets. It is considering limiting next years’ offering to the public–scaling down to the five most popular tried-n-true flavours. Fortunately, my choices are not affected (YET) although I didn’t see either in this year’s display (they apparently were some of the first to sell out).

ABC Bakers, the Richmond, Va., company owned by Interbake Foods LLC that has been with the Girl Scouts since 1937, isn’t champing at the bit to participate in the Super Six program. “ABC is not in agreement with this strategy and has specifically indicated they do not see the reduction in varieties as cost saving,” the Girl Scouts’ Ms. Hamaker says.

I personally don’t think that the box I bought is one of the tastiest cookie varieties offered by the Girl Scouts that I’ve tried, but I wasn’t in a lemon mood and well, the coconut chocolate things…aka ‘Samoas’ (sometimes/someplaces–I guess their name geographically varies) get a bit goopy in Florida’s springtime weather.

Whether this was a nod to the U.S.’s growing Hispanic population or just another culinary adventure for the group, I don’t know, but according to the article the consumers were no more/no less from that demographic than any other. (And, I don’t think that only Samoans, for example, buy the coconut/chocolate confections.)

But, what do I know? I was a Campfire Girl.
