There is plain Greek yogurt under all of that strawberry goodness, I promise!

I like to sprinkle cinnamon on top of my fruit and yogurt combos, and a while back I ordered a bag of cinnamon from Penzey's Spices to refill my little shaker jar. Well let me tell you, that was a mistake. Not the fact that I get my cinnamon (and almost all of my spices from Penzey's - I love their products) online - but refilling creates a big cinnamon dust cloud and no matter how careful I try to be, it's just messy. So when I finally emptied out the last of that bag into my jar, I breathed a sigh of relief...I'm done with refills and when I'm almost out, I'll just order a regular jar. Sometimes the little bit of money you save isn't worth the hassle.

Well, this didn't work:
Instead of propagating like I'd hoped, they are just withering away.
Two weeks ago...it was worth a try, I guess.
To be fair, most of the succulents that I try to propagate from leaves DO grow:
These leaves broke off when I was trying to transplant the main plant - I just laid them in a pot, dampened the soil occasionally, and look - they are growing!
I still haven't achieved my dreams of creating a really nice succulent garden, but I do love seeing my little clay pots lined up on the windowsill with all kinds of growth happening:
I swear, I cannot take a picture without Paco jumping in, but you get the idea...

Speaking of Paco photobombing my pictures, I had a reader reminisce about my Fashion Friday pictures and ask for a return of that feature. Honestly, I stopped doing it because I stopped having to get dressed up for work - and the one day that I do dress for work, I wear a dumb uniform, so that's pretty boring. I mostly spend my days in jeans and a t-shirt, but just for fun, I set the timer on my camera and tried to take a Fashion Friday picture. Paco was nowhere near me, but as soon as I set the timer, he came rushing over, just like old times:
He is literally skidding in!
So that's my life now - I don't even shop for clothes all that often because I just don't need much beyond my t-shirt staples. I am wearing a new t-shirt in this picture, so it's not like I'm depriving myself. Truth is, if I'm not wearing running clothes, what you see above is pretty much what I wear the rest of the time. But Paco misses the photo ops, apparently.

Tomorrow will be Diane's longest run before her marathon - 20 miles!!! She is more than ready for it and will do great, I'm sure of that. Jeff will start off super early with her and then I'll step in for the last 10 miles, and my goal is to complete all 10 of those miles, and keep Diane entertained as she runs miles 11 through 20. And afterward? There will be bacon.
Have a great weekend!
