Two (make that Three) of my Favorite Things

I scored an 82 (out of 100) on my health assessment yesterday...not too shabby for someone with cancer.

The lady I talked to was sort of grandmotherly and very sweet, her name was Ann. We had a good time talking about our shoes, where to get the best deal on Dansko's (my fave) and Merrell's (her fave), the fact that we both have plantar fasciitis (which is why we have to wear the expensive shoes), and joking that my high cholesterol is probably the least of my worries at this point. My HDL and blood pressure are good though, so that evens things out a bit. I've always had high cholesterol and it runs in the women in my family, so that was no surprise.

Some of the questions were funny/ironic, but otherwise it was pretty non-eventful, but still enjoyable because of Ann. And because of Ann, I will be making a trip to Bob Jones sometime soon. I find it hard to believe that I have never been there and I've lived in KC for 20+ years now.

I know I've told you guys about flameless candles before, but I am really liking the tealight and votive sizes right now. Real tealights burn out so quickly and these are great for places where you don't want a flame, like on shelves, near walls or curtains. You don't get the scent, but they are safer and last longer than real candles. I found some at Target in the aisle where they have flashlights and nightlights. Check them out!

I made the age-old mistake of going shopping while I was hungry. In this case I am glad I did because I discovered these awesome cookies at Target:

Another new addiction

They've got other flavors too...like lemon, cranberry, and some others I can't remember. But these...heavenly!

(observation: you can really tell which pictures are mine and which aren't. in my defense tho, these two were taken with my camera phone simply because it was closer at the time.)
