Posting...

I keep thinking that I'm going to post, but then when I sit down to write something it all seems stupid and pointless, hence the fact that all I've been posting is recipes (good) and OCD stuff (a lot less good). My brain is pretty screwed up, sadly, and I'm starting to realize that there's no cure for that, not really, not a permanent cure. There are things that help, but there's no magical solution. It's hard.

I ordered some Gnu fiber bars because justhuman likes them and who couldn't use more fiber? Only that would be me, apparently, now that I'm eating all these fruits and vegetables, LOL. I ordered one of every flavor except the orange cranberry, which I've already tried -- it was good, the orange flavor very strong, nice and moist. JH has warned me that the chocolate brownie flavor is bad, but I had to try it for myself. The funny thing is, I ordered them last week, and then last night thought, "Hey, whatever happened to my fiber bars?" So I went to my inbox and found the email from when the package had shipped, and clicked on the tracking link, and it said "delivered 7/17, side door." And I went, "HUH? It's, like, the 22nd!" And sure enough, my fiber bars had been sitting between the side screen door and the side door for five days, LOL. Luckily, they were totally fine. Good thing it wasn't a nice box of chocolates, though!

One week from now, I'll be at the airport waiting to fly out to Writercon! Yay!!! I am nervous about the traveling part of the trip, as always, but otherwise really looking forward to it. Still trying to decide if it's worth the effort to lug the laptop along with me -- it'd be a lot less hassle to leave it at home...

Mmm, Gnu Bars are made of win. I like the cinnamin raisin and the banana best, but I tolerate the brownie because it's as close to chocolate as I can get without being real chocolate. It ain't a friggin' Dove bar but it helps me tone down the chocolate beast when I need to. I really do not like the peanut butter ones at all, though.

I stopped my subscription because we're a bit short on cash at the moment but I fully intend to go back on autoship soon.

Did you order the new flavors to try?

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, I ordered the new espresso chip and lemon ginger. Hopefully they'll be good! I wish there was a carrot cake sort of flavor, but maybe the cinnamon/raisin will approximate the things I like about carrot cake?

If I had to pick just one, it would be the cinnamon raisin - I think it's sweet enough, moist enough and soft enough to cover what I want when I eat one of those bars - not quite a cookie but close enough to make me happy. I have high hopes for lemon ginger so I am eager to hear how you like them. The espresso chip I was sort of 'yes, well, maybe as an alternative to their brownie' but not quite bouncy, if you know what I mean. :)

PS - OMG this time next week we will be at Writercon! *SQUEE*

Hmmmm, I'll have to look for those Gnu bars. I'm bad about not getting enough fiber, although I try to get one helping of Fibersure in every day so that I'm at least getting something. The calorie count on those isn't too bad either.

The orange cranberry one I had was very good. I'll let you know what I think of the other flavors as I eat them. :-)

I won't get to WC until Saturday morning. Promise to save me some hugs and love?

OF COURSE. Sweetheart, I will be glued to you and Essene every possible moment I can get away with it. *SMOOCH*

Ha, glad your fiber bars made it there okay! Reading about them reminded me to take my vitamin, which tastes like death but is good for me. :/

Vitamins are definitely good for you! Some of mine taste pretty foul, too. I wish they could coat them with a thin layer of M&Ms!
