My morning favorite is apple, carrot and ginger.  I use one apple, two carrots, and a inch piece of ginger.  You will want to start slow with the ginger.

From the above post CC is working to incorporate the restaurants that are requested. Be sure to check back often as restaurant data is being input frequently. 

We always bring in our own food.  We never have problems with security checking our bags.  We then leave our backpacks in the lockers and use the picnic area they have designated.  The security check is for weapons and alchohol. 

Disney California has an area with mediterranian food choices.  Very tasty!

Have FUN!

My husband has an insane schedule where he is out the door to go to work at 1:00 a.m.  He can not eat at that time, and to be honest there is no way I am going to cook for him at that time.  One day I suggested he try an Ensure Plus to drink as he drives into work.  He found it makes his day more managable.  Since he does not like to eat while working (he is a Hostess Cake/Wonder Bread delivery driver so he is on the road all day) he brings a cooler with three bottles of water and a second Ensure Plus. 

Besides finding ways to get them out you need to find ways to keep them out.  In my last office after fighting the good fight we realized the sweeper under the front door had a small opening it in.  This allowed the ones in and out every evening. 

One thing I have been reading as of late is lavendar is not a favorite scent of mice.  So cotton balls soaked in lavendar placed in places you have found evidence could help. 

I also found this:

Fortunately there is a natural alternative to these rodenticides. Natural peppermint essential oil (also known as “oil of peppermint”) offers a safe, effective and humane way to discourage these damaging and potentially disease-carrying rodents from entering homes.

“Although the scent is pleasing to humans, mice are repelled by the scent of natural peppermint essential oil,” said Mindy Seiffert, aromatherapy category manager for Aura Cacia. “The oil drives mice away without the danger of poisoning pets or young children. Also, it creates a very pleasant atmosphere for people living in the home. Peppermint has a distinctive sweet, menthol aroma and can be both energizing and soothing.”

To discourage the animals from entering, Seiffert recommends putting a few drops of peppermint essential oil on cotton balls and placing them around the house. Homeowners can also sprinkle the oil directly on floors and walls and items, or make a scented spray with two teaspoons of oil per cup of water.

Seiffert encourages homeowners to strongly scent areas where mice might enter homes or hide, such as underneath stairs or in a basement. Also, mice prefer to run alongside walls, so it’s effective to scent the parameter of rooms as well.

The peppermint will remain an effective repellent as long as the scent lingers. This varies according to conditions, but generally lasts roughly two to three weeks.

From KFC the calorie count in one biscuit is 180.  Same as on Calorie Count.

I really like the idea of adding avocado to the egg whites.  I wonder if the two mashed together would make a good egg salad?  Definatley need to try this one.  Something to smear on celery maybe.  Now you have me thinking.  THanks!

If you eat just the egg white it has zero cholesterol.  The cholesterol is in the yolk.  However, nutrition experts have now determined people on a low-fat diet can eat one or two eggs a day without measurable changes in their blood cholesterol levels.

Shannon and Family,

I am so sorry!  My heart is with you all.
