Saturday Java!

Good Saturday Morning Everyone!
It's a great Saturday morning! Hope to find you waking up with a mug in your hand of yoour favorite wake-up juice. My juice is black and decaf coffee-nothing better.
Going to Farmer's Market this morning. Will get an early start 'caus last week it was SO busy. Going to get some string beans and homemade Salsa. Maybe blueberries. I love this time of year.
QOTD-Open mike for Rants/Raves. My rant is no rain, here. We've been missed this past week with the scattered storms and it is really dry. It's hard to believe that some areas are having flood issues. Totally wierd. Raves-fresh porduce this time of year. Can't get enough...Baby Colin is my rave. He is uber-cute
Have a good Saturday
Deb

Pretty dreary here Deb.  Looks like more rain in store for us.  Thursday we had Thunder, Lightening and a downpour.  Yesterday was pretty nice but today looks like rain again.  our grass really needed it cuz Gary doesn't 'feel' like turning on the sprinklers.
I tried tuna, feta cheese and calamata olives yesterday and they all tasted sooo good.  Today I'm going to have oatmeal for breakfast and give that a try.  Going to Kroger, Walmart and the library today.  I'm looking for suggestions on protein 'drinks' not shakes or powders.  Anyone know some good ones?  How's that profect?
QOTD:  Rants - why can't people make up their mind if they want to buy my house or not?  No offer as yet.  Maybe they need the weekend to sleep on it.  Raves - This weather, It's ok with me if this is the second coolest summer in history.  I don't like the heat, so this is perfect to me.  Even with the rain.

Jan - Muscle Milk is a good protein drink.  Just IMHO I wouldn't use it as my sole source of protein though.  Its good as a supplementary protein drink.  There is a mix of proteins in it (as well as others on the market) that you won't totally absorb.  You also need to look at the sugars/carbs that are in it.  I dump on small amounts of sugars and lately carbs too... as they convert into sugars. 

My usual decaf and protein (3 cups). 

RANT:  All the traffic up here this time of year - I know its good for our economy, but it takes me 3 times as long to get from one side of town to the other when everyone is doing 30 in a 45.... and my other rant is the way the light at Garfield Rd is timed - lol - I know, small things, but it bugs me - backs traffic up real bad.

RAVE:  My new life and doing exactly what I please!!

Is the muscle milk a milk base?  I'm looking for something more protein in a water type base.

I don't know of any that are water based.  I don't mix my protein powder in water because its yucky to me - not creamy enough, but if I mix it with milk I sometimes feel yucky afterwards - so its a no-win situation for me at times, that's why I have to find other ways to mix my protein - crystal lite, coffee, etc. 

Good morning everyone! 
Im drinking water this am, Looking forward to my weekly glass of pop.   That wont be till much later though because hubby and I always share our glass of pop and he has to work today.  I think we are going to see a movie so will enjoy it there.  
I am also gong to the local farmer market.  I want some blueberries and hubby wants some green beans and red potatoes cooked with bacon.  
Rant  Rain!  we had a bunch thurs and more last night,  It needs to go away till Monday till our train festival is over.   Deb  Id be glad to send it your way.
Rave   Summer   I just like this time of year. 
Have  great day everyone.

Hi all - 

No coffee, no chai tea, no breakfast ... yet.  Trying to decide what to start with.  I was able to sleep a bit late this morning (since I was up so late last night).  I need a haircut this morning, so will get outta here in a few minutes for that.  Then need to get back home and make a batch of bean salad.  We have the family reunion today in Au Gres - if the hour by hour forecast is to be believed, there will be thunderstorms passing through around 11, then it will clear up for the party, then more thunderstorms around 7pm.  Hope it holds true.

RAVE -- OMG!  I just bought a new lens for my camera and I had a chance to play with it last night in Frankenmuth.  How did I ever live without this thing?!  It's a "fast lens" and is suppose to be really good in low light.  And it lived up to it's hype for sure!  I left the flash off the camera all night and didn't need it.  I was out taking pictures at 11pm without flash and the available light was plenty.  I was amazing!  Can't wait to use it today at the reunion.  (And now you know why I was up so late last night!)

Pam, you're so cute!!

Every time you find something cool you're like a kid at Christmas.  That's why we love having you here so much!!

 hehehe ...  yeah, new stuff is fun.  Except I am totally ignoring that one little 2009 resolution that says "buy less stuff."  I must be stopped!  

New pics are up on my Flickr account though.
