Trading popcorn for watermelon

A funny thing happened to me this evening. I took a brisk 3 mile walk so that I could eat some popcorn. Well, the popcorn I had was old and when I went to microwave it, it burnt within about 2 minutes. I was really bummed so I got 9 tortilla chips. I started eating them and remembered I bought a big watermelon and had cut it up earlier. Sooooooo.... because of "bad luck", I ate a much healthier snack!! :drinker:

    Oh that's so funny!

    Today I was craving kale. Funny how your eating habits really do change!

    I love watermelon too but don't eat it often as it's a pain in the *kitten* to cut up!! I was sitting on my stoop outside cutting it so that I wouldn't make a total mess in the kitchen!! Haha!! :glasses:

    I love watermelon! I never buy a whole one because none of my cheap knives can cut through that skin. I'll even buy two halves to avoid it. Then slicing them into cubes by the sink isn't a huge mess.

    Now I want watermelon! I am heading out for a run myself, when I hit the grocery store this afternoon I'll have to pick one up for dinner.

    The tricky part about watermelon at my house is that I'm the only one that will eat it, and I could eat it all in one sitting without trouble...better than a package of oreos in one sitting I suppose!

    Well....the watermelon didn't make to dinner, I had it for lunch instead and I must say, it was magical!

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    I LOVE WATERMELON!!! i was about to have a bag of popcorn yesterday as well but i ate watermelon, just like you did :)
    i just love fruits so much! but too much isnt good since there's a lot of sugar in fruits. i know its all natural and good sugar but your body doesnt recognize the difference between natural sugar and corn starch, or thats what ive heard. anyways, i love summer because its the season with the most fruits :D
