streamlined?

i don't think so. with my limited knowledge of html, this is as good as it's gonna get. and i'm definitely unwilling to PAY for a nice blog ;) i don't care if $5 a month is all it takes. $60 will get me a pretty nice day in mexico city, even amongst all the obrador supporters.

feh

it is cold and dreary outside. isn't it funny that we'd be happy to have 60 degree temps in december, yet complain about it in september...but it's still summer!

been buying chex mix lately. a couple weeks ago, we got two bags of 'normal' flavors, such as traditional and bold. blew through them. such good substitutes for dinner heh!

well, when we decimated our supply of mix, we went back to the store and got some fruity flavors...apple cinnamon and tropical. mind you, we had coupons each time AND the items were on sale; any sane person wouldn't pay that kind of money for such empty calories.

the sweet chex flavors are...so FOUL. the tropical tastes like chex mix bathed in banana flavoring. a little weird. and the apple cinnamon is just not sweet enough. those apple chips have 'ugh' written all over them.

HOWEVER, not wanting to waste it or offer it to the birds, i decided to try them in milk...like cereal. not bad at all! in fact, the chunks of fruit and nuts are more healthy offerings than sugar coated flakes (which i still like) and overall a toned down sweetness. so they're lousy for out of hand snacking and out of the question for dessert. but for breakfast? yeah, in a pinch...with a coupon and sale ;)
