The other night we decided to go to Panera for dinner. It's convenient because it's quick, not ridiculously expensive compared to other things around here & generally healthy depending on what you get. My go-to is a soup & salad combo. While waiting for J, I got to stare at warm, cozy, delicious looking posters promoted their NEW Peppermint Hot Chocolate. YUM! Looked divine. Seasonal, warming, yummy.... So I checked the board to see how much it would break the bank. If you haven't been in the past year, Panera started posting the calorie content on the board next to the prices... Oh, holy, frickin______!!! 610 calories? Almost twice as much as a regular hot chocolate there?? More than my entire main meal?!?!?!
Needless to say, I decided against it.

*sings*: These are a few of my favor-rite things!
So, I don't know if it's the season (I think they play the Sound of Music song as a holiday song), or what, but this song has been running through my head for days and I really want to do a blogpost about my favorite things (in a kind of inspirational essoteric way):
- Buckminster Fuller
- I love this from the wiki page: "...this caused him to drink frequently and to contemplate suicide for a while. He finally chose to embark on "an experiment, to find what a single individual [could] contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity.""
