Entertaining Angels

Congratualtions to my dear friend and critique partner, Judy Duarte. Her May 2009 book, ENTERTAINING ANGELS, is nominated for a Rita Award in the inspirational category. The Rita is the academy award of the romance book world! The winners will be announced at a gala this summer.

Red Cars

We often have three or four cars in our garage, but at the moment all of them are red. The 1978 Mercedes is mine, the 1957 Chevy Handyman Wagon was restored by my step dad and has been sold, and the 1956 Chevy Handyman is still being worked on.

Popcorn Mistake

Okay, it wasn't the popcorn that was 180 calories for 3 tablespoons, it was butter that was on it. The whole bag of popcorn was around 600 calories, including the butter.

Now that makes more sense.

Popcorn Mishap

I was craving popcorn so I borrowed a bag from my folks. I usually buy the low-fat, low-calorie bags, but I figured what the heck. I’d go ahead and eat the butter kind. After I wolfed it down, I got online and checked the calories. Okay, get this. It's 180 calories for 3 tablespoons.

Who measures popcorn by tablespoons??? I can't even venture to guess how many calories the whole bag was.

I’m never doing that again. It was good, but it wasn’t that good. I could have just eaten a stick of butter and been done with it.

Yes, I know this was a weird post. But I'm in a weird mood. lol.
