Tofurky

I broke my Canon Rebel 50mm lens!!

I went to pick my camera up off of the counter and somehow it slipped right out of my hand and went flying across the floor. Thankfully the camera itself was unharmed, but all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Jenn’s 50mm lens back together again. I just ordered a replacement on Amazon.com — they’ve come way down in price since Dustin originally bought it. They’re only $99 now. Still pricey, but I think he paid $180 for the first one. Obviously it’s obsolete now, but I still dig it… a lot! I also have my Nikon D40, but that only has a zoom lens, so I never got attached to it the way I got attached to the Rebel macro lens. I’m going to buy a macro lens for the Nikon D40 one day to compare the two. Quality pictures really do lie in the lens and lighting. I have terrible lighting in my house, especially when we’re awake after hours, so I at least have to have a good lens. Now, I have neither! Well, the Rebel default zoom lens isn’t bad, just not as awesome as the 50mm. I’m spoiled, what can I say?

I took my first Culturelle probiotic pill this morning. I decided I’d complement its effects with some extra probiotic goodness in the form of yogurt. I’m going to try to eat yogurt everyday for 30 days to see if that in combination with the Culturelle probiotic supplement have any positive effects on my digestive system. I took my first capsule about 2.5 hours ago; so far, so good. I’m not heaving, which is a plus, LOL.

Yogurt + Tofurky sandwich breakfast

Fresh fruit makes me happy

• 1 Food for Life sprouted wheat roll (150 cal) with 4 slices Tofurky (80 cal), 1 slice very thin deli American cheese (~40 cal), 1/2 TBSP Hellmann’s olive oil mayo (25 cal), and lots of small no salt added bread & butter pickle chips (~30 cal)
• 1/2 cup (113g) Fage Total 0% plain Greek strained yogurt (60 cal) topped with: 1 small plum (~30 cal), ~1/4 cup fresh blueberries (~20 cal), and 4g agave nectar (10 cal)

Calories: ~445

Very filling, very tasty, light in calories but lots of volume. In other words, a perfect meal.

In vampire news: Eclipse is playing at the drive-in today and tomorrow. Should I stay up late tonight to see it or wait until the next day and hit up Mother Earth’s first and make it a day in Jenn’s dreamland? Decisions, decisions!! I’m leaning towards seeing it tomorrow so we can make a whole day/evening out of it. We’ll see I guess! Be back after lunch… it’s gonna be another scorcher today! Ughhhh
