    I worked 11.5 hours today. And at the very end, I went into the bathroom and there was a single red m&m on the floor. I work with the worst people....

    Maybe the Easter Bunny used your restroom?!? ;)

    The Easter Bunny should not take open food in the bathroom either...

    The Easter Bunny poops jelly beans. I thought this time maybe he pooped M&Ms instead. It is the bathroom... ;)

    So.. I about ate a whole (Large) bag of popcorn thinking it was only going to cost me 100 calories. The box says it makes 4 cups popped, and at 25 calories per cup (at work, no scale) it should be 100 calories per bag. Well I'm dumping it into these little styrofoam cups we have at work that are just over 1 cup by volume. About the 3rd "cup" in, I find that there is still half of the popcorn in the bag. Well I had one more "cup" and am saving the other half bag until tomorrow. But I find it rather annoying and perplexing that I had to do a google search, and use a dang calculator to figure out how much is in a whole bag. Why the heck can't they just say "one whole bag is x cups and x number of calories". Do they think people won't buy it when they find out the "truth"? It doesn't stop people from buying that 2100 calorie plate at a resturaunt, so why would it stop someone from buying thier brand of popcorn? Stupid misleading popcorn, LOL. And my dumbass even fell for their tricky marketing play at the grocery store too. "Ooh, 100 calorie bags! Makes 4 cups.. Brilliant! I will buy this one!". Nope it's more like 311 for the whole bag. Not a big deal really.

    TLDR Confession: Having to do math to figure out actual servings per container is annoying and inconvenient. How dare they. :tongue:

    Microwave popcorn is THE WORST! Why can't they just say, "This bag, in total, popped, is 311 calories."

    Exactly! I hate trying to figure out the calories from popcorn.

    Usually it's something I don't eat often, but when I do it's usually a brand that has it popped already.

    We have the Houston Cookoff next week, so my diet will be a wreck. I could probably keto it though. Lots of meat there! :D My oldest dog is probably about to make the trip across the rainbow bridge. She has a very hard time moving around and she is developing growths in her mouth that are probably painful.

    Aww poor pup! Sending hugs.

    Like Skinny Pop! I love that popcorn. However, there is something so satisfying about warm fresh popcorn. I suppose I could just get brown paper bags and pop my own measured and weighed popcorn... But who has time that? :wink:

    This is totally something that would happen to me. :lol: I have left behind trails of junior mints, gum, Benadryl and various other things in various places due to purse spills.

    We have a little Easter chick wearing a bunny costume that poops jelly beans. I'll try to get a pic of him later.

    Aww that's adorable!

    I can't complain too badly about how cold it's been lately (feel for the people in the Midwest/Northern states that have -20-50 below weather), but definitely ready for Spring & more lively colors in not only the scenery but clothing.

    Just received a call from a client. His 18 yo son was found shot twice in the back of the head.

    I am sitting at my desk trying not to throw up and fighting back tears.

    Oh, no. That is horrible. That poor family.

    Had to do several visits to the pet shop today. Our Betta fish has been out of sorts, not eating and has something wrong with the back of him. After loads of photos and a water test the fish lady decided our Cherry Barbs are attacking the Betta at night. Looks like another tank it be appearing in the future. :#

    I have a 5 gallon tank just for my beta fish. They don't like friends.

    I ate all my work snacks and half of my lunch salad before 9 this morning.

    And, like the Very Hungry Caterpillar, I am still hungry. I still have my banana, but once that is gone there will be nothing between me and the Cupboard of Joy (aka the filing cabinet that an enterprising colleague keeps stocked with chocolate and crisps, for a reasonable markup). What's the betting that before the end of the afternoon I'll have cracked and be 'thanking Crunchie it's Friday'?

    @ceiswyn I think we all have days like that. I had one Wednesday. But today I am not hungry at all. I need to put my yogurt in the fridge because I have not opened it.

    @Beka3695 I am so sorry about your client's son. This week a guy walked into my old dentist's office and *kitten* his wife the week. (There happened to be a good guy with a gun getting his teeth cleaned and he will live to face murder 1 and several lesser charges.) The world is going to heck in a hand basket.

    THIS is why I have a permit to carry and firearms training!!! I have 9 rounds to get it right!

    We definitely all have days like that! Hang in there; hopefully, the hungry feeling will go away after awhile.

    It's only 9:50 AM here & I already had my Maple Waffle Quest bar, a Chobani Gimmies yogurt, & some snack called a Figgy Pop. I made sure I ate more during the morning since I know were more than likely to be short staffed at work & I'll need the fuel.
