bananas

ok.  this isn't exactly running or skirt related, but I did have this little epiphany the other day, and since it is nutrition and weight oriented it at least seems somewhat appropriate here.
-
The thing is.  I love bananas.  I could (and often do) eat them every day.  But the thing is, in my mind they are very high in calories and so I do try to limit my consumption. 
-
But the thing that has occurred to me -- do they really have any more calories than some of the other junk (mostly empty calories) that I eat in their place???  For example, for a mid-afternoon snack, I could eat 2-3 bananas -- either plain, or frozen and blended in a yummy shake  and feel reasonably full on about 250 calories. 
-
But often times what I'll do, is skip the banana and reach for a bag of snack food, either Trader Joe's cookies, peanut butter pretzels, or some other snack.  I can EASILY devour more than 300 calories in one sitting and feel less satisfied.  And to top it off, there is very little nutrition in bag of pretzels!  So then this begss the question, WHAT am I thinking???  Seriously. 
-
Sure, you might "think" bananas have a lot of calories compared to say - WATER.  But, compared to some alternatively filling foods... come on! 
-
Next time, I'm reaching for the bananas.  YUMMMM!!!!

checkout issues

hey gals
I regret to inform you that we are still experiencing difficulties as a result of the fire up in Seattle last week.  Unfortunately, our credit card processing service experienced a very large fire near the power source for their datacenter.  As a result, much equipment was damaged and service has been difficult.

-
For the most part, if you place an order - it is going through, even if you don't get a confirmation page (instead, folks are getting an error page).  Please feel free to email me if you have questions whether your order did go through. 
-
And rest assured, if you have tried to place your order more than once, we will only process it once. 
-
We are monitoring their Twitter page for updates and are hopeful that this will all be resolved quickly.
-
I apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Celebrating Freedom with Free Shipping!

Hey gals.  Enjoy free shipping all month long!!! 

Happy 4th! and website issues

Hey gals!

First - a very very happy 4th of July to all!  I hope you are enjoying sunshine, BBQs, the beach, a bike ride... whatever it is that reminds you of the special Freedoms we are blessed with here, on our nations big Birthday.
-
And second.  Our 3rd party CC processing agent - authorize.net has been experiencing difficulties over the past few days.   It appears from their twitter that service may be intermittent for some time to come.  This is also affecting our checkout function on the website.  If you experience difficulties here, I apologize!!  But please be patient and if you have trouble you can always email me and we'll work through it. 
-
Also -- you'll note that Shipping is Free through the month of July.  We thought this would be a fun way to celebrate our Freedom.  Unfortunately, with authorize.net's troubles we cannot officially announce this yet...   but if you have gotten through on your order, you'll appreciate the Free Shipping!!
