Your Morning Funny
I am not endorsing KMart, partly because, I don't even think there IS a KMart within driving distance of my house. But I do love me some funny commercials. And this one is my new favorite. Maybe NSFW, which is kinda funny to say about a commercial airing on network television. I guess it depends on your office. :-)

Intro to Poetry... humorously
My son wanted to learn more about poetry this year during our homeschool studies. While we haven't really tackled the subject in depth yet, I did find a poetry book that has us ALL reading poetry on a regular basis.... I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats
. It's hilarious. There's barely a day that goes by that someone isn't reading aloud from it. LOL. While not a traditional way to introduce poetry, it's definitely a humorous way.

Hunger Games Trilogy for Kindle, $5 for all three books
Amazon has a great deal on the The Hunger Games Trilogy
right now... $5 for all 3 books in Kindle format! I haven't read them yet. I'm not usually a fan of dystopian fiction, but for $5! Why not?!

Angel Soft Deal
Occasionally I run across deals too good to not share... I'll post them here as I find them.
This is an Amazon deal and they are subject to change, but it's good as of right now.
Angel Soft Double Rolls, 48 rolls for $22.63 with a $1.00 coupon you can clip right from the page. That works out to just $.45 a double roll. My rule of thumb is to stock up when double rolls are $.50 or less. If you sign up for Subscribe & Save, you can save 5% or more on top that that. The new subscribe & save program gives you more of a discount depending on how many S&S items ship to you each month.

Green Smoothie Progress
I won't post every day on this challenge but I did want to chime in that I have been making my daily green smoothie. I typically have an Herbalife Formula One shake for breakfast with coffee and creamer in it (my own mocha). For the green smoothies, I've made them for either breakfast or lunch. I still use 1 cup of soymilk and the Herbalife shake mix, but then added some more water, 3/4 cup frozen mixed fruit, a cup of spinach and a 1/4 teaspoon chia seeds. I occasionally add some other fruit too like a banana or blackberries... whatever we have.
Instead of mixing it in the Magic Bullet as usual, I used the Nutri-Bullet (same company, more oomph to the motor). I read recently that longer blending incorporates more air into the smoothie/shake and makes it more filling. In tests, people ate fewer calories of other food following a longer blended shake than a quickly blended shake. I usually use the shake as a meal replacement so I don't know if I'm eating fewer calories or not. In reality, I'm eating a few more with all the fruit and such added to my shake but I'm also feeling full longer and reaching for snacks less so it probably adds up to fewer calories.
