My favorite book….oh my…I love to read so that is a tough question. I’ll go with The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath.

I’m really loving Twilight–and I also love Harry Potter. But my favorite book of all time is either Pride & Prejudice, or the lesser known (you might like it–very witty writing) Otherwise Engaged by Suzanne Finnamore.

I thought it was really good, actually better than the Twilight movie. The books can get quite addicting!
My do nothing activities are probably channel surfing (or surfing on the internet!) or when I take the time to read.
I would have a hard time narrowing down my favorite book, but my adult book would probably be anything by Mary Higgins Clark. I love children’s book as well, since I’m a teacher, and I really like Robert Munsch or Dr. Seuss’ books.

Yeah, other bloggers have said they don’t use protein powder and it still works. But I’m not sure if it would be portable that way. Or maybe they just sprinkle magic blogger dust in it :P

Reading is fun too, especially twilight. somehow those books manage to be addictive.

1. What’s your favourite way to do nothing? I definitely like to read or waste away time online. And, there is always tv. Super fun time wasting.

2. What’s your favourite book? I just can’t choose one so I’m skipping this question. ;)

Always. They look so huge. BTW you are RIGHT- it’s NOT the nut butter that is the glue as I did an experiment (I’ll post one of these days) without it (so that I could smear it on top instead) and the protein powder was totally glue-like and it worked a treat!! Thank you for your insight in that little comment on your video (I tend to listen to those under-the-breath words of wisdom!)

Have a great sunday!

And I also didn’t know that about the fibre!! Explains why Fibre 1 cereal in Canada has twice the number of calories of “Fiber One” in the U.S. Maybe we have different labelling laws here? I’m e-mailing the company, this is going to bug me :P

Hmm. I wonder if they make them more shelf stable to import or something?.. They are also 210 cals in the US but America subtracts calories for fiber which doesn’t happen in the UK or Canada so stuff is usually a little higher (Lara bars, Fiber 1, Kashi cereal).

I hate days when I am running late- throws my whole day into a spin and it seems like an endless race to catch up.

I don’t read much anymore because my concentration has vanished, but yesterday I opened up a book with a goal of reading one chapter- ended up reading the entire book throughout the day. Was awesome :D

Hmmmm… wonder if they are replacing some expensive nuts/dates with cheap oil (sunflower is inexpensive). That could be why the bars look smaller and have the same calorie count.

I like to relax with coffee and a book most times. The internet can be a good time waster, too :D

My favorite book is probably Stephen King’s The Stand. I can never tire of reading it over and over again.

I appreciate you celebrating Sammie Saturday with me :)

that is so odd about the lara bars…i haven’t noticed any new ingredients, but I will be very disappointed if they have started adding oil. Boo.

I actually can’t think of a a better way to do nothing than to read. I love it, love it, love it. Growing up, mys sister and I read all the Nancy Drew and Bobsey twin books. Now I’m into the Sookie Stackhouse books–you’ve GOT to read those when you’re done with Twilight. They are good! xoxo
