100 Calories

Since I have nothing to do most days but wait for wedding vendors to return my phone-calls, clean out my room, and put together wedding invitations, I find myself surfing the web more than I ever did before. I have to say, there is some really random stuff out there.

However, sad and boring my life may be it has given me time to read up on things I never would have if I, you know, had a life. For example today I took the 100 Calories Quiz from the Women's Health Magazine. Here's what I learned:

18 Rold Gold Pretzels = 100 calories
1 Tbsp peanuts + 2 Tbsp dried cranberries = 100 calories
1 cup baby carrots + 2 Tbsp hummus = 100 calories
1 1/2 cups strawberries + 3 Tbsp Cool Whip Free = 100 Calories
2 Sargento light string cheeses = 100 Calories
10 Peanut M&Ms = 100 Calories


Also, a new study recently discovered that childbirth was painful for Neanderthal women. Seriously, this is a new discovery!? I could have saved them years of research by explaining that it is ALWAYS going to be painful to push something large out of a tiny hole. By the way, this study was researched and published by males.

Thank you Yahoo! and Google for allowing me to blow hours everyday reading pointless articles. Without your wealth of information, I might not know that 3 tomato slices with 1 1/2 Tbsp feta and 1 ½ tsp olive oil = 100 calories.
