So my husband is out of town this weekend and I'm all by my lonesome so I'm having a 'Jacqueline' night... I rented some old romance movies I haven't seen before (it could happen to you, city of angels) surpassed the urge to buy the movie theater popcorn (mmm popcorn) and I bought oranges, almonds and Perrier instead of junk food! Yay me!

I got a raise today too! I was having a really hard week and its review time this time each year. Due to the economy I wasn't expecting much but my boss pleasantly surprised me! He gave me all sorts of praise as well (and he is a man of VERY few words), what a great day!

I kind of wanted to celebrate a bit but am so happy that I didn't do it with food this time!!!:happy:

    What does a hot air popper look like, 'cause I had a hankerin' for popcorn the other night. We don't own a microwave and the only other popcorn I found was in the old fashioned aluminum 1980's pan that you shake on the stove. The popcorn came out orange-yellow and there was trans fat stuff in it. It really killed the craving, let me tell ya.

    Oh we used to have one of those...and that was probably in the 80's. It's a good idea though!!

    Thanks for the visual.:happy:
