On the Peanut butter cup front, I am so with Work In progress that they are heaven in a cup! I can still remember those commercials where the guy walking down the street with his chocolate bar crashes into the guy with the jar of peanut butter and says "Hey, your peanut butter is in my chocolate bar...No, your chocolate bar is in my peanut butter!" or something like that. I was definitely ahead of the curve on Peanut Butter Cups as I always painted my Hershey bar with peanut butter! If only I brought the idea to Hershey sooner!
Anyway, yesterday I was with Stephen in Walmart and all of a sudden I started to get the sweats like I was having a low blood sugar episode and I was craving chocolate or something I knew would take care of the feeling to get my blood sugar up. I quickly made my way over to the protein bars and found a Snickers Marathon Energy Bar. I actually compared the nutrition label to a package of Reeces Peanut Butter Cup and while the Marathon bar was only 10 calories less at 210, it had 14 grams of protein compared to 5 on the RPBC and it had half the fat. I am not a protein bar person but I have to say, it was really good. I didn't buy more as I thought it could be a problem for me but I have to say that I may buy some protein bars to have in case of emergencies such as that. Any recommendations?
I will check back in later after my fill.
****EDITED*****
Fill has been postponed until Wednesday at 9:30 due to an emergency(Doc's, not mine!. Will update fill info at that time!

Hey Jacquie - where are you in FL? I'm flying into Jacksonville on Thursday afternoon... If you're up that way, I'd love to stop and meet you for a cup of coffee or something if that works! If you're south of SA, I'll have to probably take a rain check and maybe meet you in July! We'll be back then for a memorial for my godfather, and we'll be there Friday, Saturday & Sunday... Let me know! (sarah-fogler@comcast.net)
I am south of SA and normally it would not be a problem and I would have happily driven to Jacksonville but unfortunately, I have a 3:30 appointment with an Attorney regarding my fathers estate and that is about 1 hour south of where I live in Ormond Beach!
Let me know your plans for the July Memorial Service and I will do my best to move heaven and earth as I'd love to meet up with you and I am not afraid of driving so don't worry about that!
Let's definitely plan to connect in July... I'll double check the details and we'll figure it out!!! Thanks Jacquie...
Jacquie-can I just say that I am so sorry that i have been absent for over a month now and never read or knew that you lost your dad and BIL. I feel very selfish and a silly for not taking the time to take note. I hope you accept my apology. I can't imagine how you feel, felt, etc. I think that you are an amazing and strong woman. I know that so many of the girls were there for you. If there is ever anything I can do, just email me.
Hope your fill today does the trick for you!!
It always seems there is one candy that we all crave. For me it's been peanut M&M's for some reason. Never craved them before the band! Why now? And they go down way too easily!!! Why is it that goes down but scrambled eggs get stuck! Why or why?!!!!
Good Luck with your fill today!
Hey, if you guys get to Jax let me know and I'll drive up. I think its about 3.5 hrs from me.
Hey Jacquie, I am not sure why your not getting a follow button on my blog, but I do know that I have followed blogs not part of blogger by going to dashboard and clicking "add" button and copy and pasting the web address of the blog I want to follow....try it and let me know if it works.
Sorry about your fill being postponed, fills are soooo important!
Sorry our Wed. appointments are too far apart to be able to meet up. Here's hoping you reach your sweet spot!
I love to carry a mini protein bar for just those situations that you describe. Great life saver. Sorry about your fill...I know you were looking forward to it
Awww.... I feel famous :-)
I remember those commercials too!!!
That protein bar sounds yummy - I am going to take inspiration and make better choices like that :-)
I love Zone bars. They are my usual diversion from candy bars because in my opinion, they are just that good. Plus they have protein!
Good luck on your fill this Wednesday.
I adore Reese's PB Cups.
Thank you little turd..now *I* can't get that song out of my head...ha!
Its catchy, right?
