Rotten Potatoes

This is a lot less fun then hot potato.

I was getting ready to throw some potatoes, onions, carrots, and chicken in a roasting pan. I was pulling everything together when I moved the potatoes.

And there was a smell. And liquid. And fuzz.

This bag of potatoes was gross. The bag was smelly, and leaking juices on my counter top and then in the sink where I put them.

I stood there for a while trying to decide if I can use the potatoes not covered in fuzz. After washing one for about 3 minutes I gave up. I didn't think they should be eaten. If one was that bad, all the bad stuff had to have touched the other potatoes right?

I went to throw them in the trash, just to be gone with them. However, I do have a compost pile, this is my rotten mess, I should deal with it. I made it, I need to own it.

I put the potatoes in the compost container, I turned on the porch light and went to walk to the back of my yard, where I quickly turned around.

I think we have a raccoon in our back yard. Something keeps knocking over recycle bins. I was afraid they'd get me. So I saved adding these smelly gross things to the compost pile for another day.

The potatoes did spend the night outside for fear of the smell. If you've never had the pleasure to enjoy rotting potatoes, please, avoid it. It is really, really, really bad.

Anyone else had some fruit or veggies go astray only to try and use the later and find them less then usable? Leave a comment below!

Fit Bit Yes!

It Lives!!!!

At least for now. We'll see how it goes, but thus far it is doing well! Awesome!

Also in this week I've forgotten my gym bag at home. My work shoes for the restaurant at home. Forgot to bring lunch to work, and have yet to make it to work on time. This has been a rough week, but is soon to be over. Thank goodness!

I hope your Friday is going fantastic!

Updated Note* I was super excited to get to do a gym class for lunch, that all the hard work, fast feet, and air punching was NOT recorded. Once again, this little guy was on the wrong pair of pants.

Fit Bit, No!

At work they offered to let us have a routine health check. There they checked height, weight, and did some blood work. By participating in this they also gave us a pedometer. Which was the Fit Bit Zip. I couldn't use it for a long while because I needed a real computer, not my Chrome book, to get everything working.

Well, when I got my new computer about a month ago, I was able to also plug and play with my Zip. 

It really is an eye opener, just how little walking I do in my day. Sitting at a computer really doesn't give you time to walk around and get in that many steps. Most of the time, if I want to reach my daily goal of 10,000 steps I have to walk during lunch just to make it possible. Kind of sad and crazy right?

When I waitress though, it is a different story, I always meet my limit and then a whole bunch more, which is not surprising but still, very informative.

With the Fit Bit Zip you have an account on line and it keeps track of everything, it is really kind of cool. 

You could go as crazy as food you eat, to hours you sleep an water drank, but right now I'm just paying attention to calories burned, distance covered and steps walked. 

I've been using this little guy pretty much daily for the last month, that was.. until today.

As you can tell my the picture above something went wrong.
