My laptop.
It’s been there for me through a lot since I got it for high school graduation! But it is slowly dying…
Every day it freezes at least 5 times and I have to shut it off and turn it back on!! It took me an hour to make an aerobics CD yesterday! We have a desktop upstairs, but its burner is broken.. and it’s a desktop :/
So I must bid it adieu to the old computadora and replace it with a newer, pink model. I’ve been given pilot approval to get a new computer, which is going to be a little project for tomorrow 
So until then, I’m not going to load any new pics (posting last night’s blog was a little rough), and decided to copy, errr, follow the genius examples of Meghann and Erin (and whoever else has done this) in asking all of the lurkers to step out into the comment light.
Hello, lurkers!
I’ve got a question for you: what is your favorite bar??
If you don’t like bars, you can just say "I don’t like bars"
Mine is Peanut Marshmallow Eclipse Pure Protein
I just want to see how many new "faces" are out there! And another thing: you can win a lil prize!
*Just leave a comment below with your favorite bar and I’ll use the random integer generator to pick a winner, reach into the pantry stash of bars (I’ve got a ton in there), pick 3 different ones and send them your way!!!
All for a comment?! Yep
This should be fun… I’m anxious to see if there are any pilot lurkers out there.
See ya tomorrow on a brand spankin’ new computer,
G

Fav Bar: Clif Z Bar-Chocolate Brownie!
its going to be so exciting to get a new computer! I’d have to say oatmeal raisin luna
Ow! Can’t wait to see the new computer! You must post a pic! Favorite bar…hmmm Brownie flavored Z
i love so many bars that it’s hard to choose…but one of my new faves is clif mojo peanut butter pretzel
I’m not a lurker but piping in. Wow, that is hard! My faves are probably the peanut butter Larabar and the choc. chip Z-bar.
Oh, and I seriously can not wait to see the new pink laptop!
Viesa is adorable. And lucky you on the new laptop. I need one myself, maybe soon.
My favorite bar is the Clif Carrot Cake bar.
ooo i’ll take a bar prize…..my fav bar is either one of the crunchy granola bars by Trader Joe’s or Barbara’s …Oats N Honey or Peanut Butter…………orrrrr I’d take my Chocolate Chip Atkins Granola Protein bar!
A 3rd place would go to one of the Clif Bars- Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisin.
There was also a protein bar in Canada that i tried…that literally was BETTER than most candy bars…and tasted SO indulgent…….but I don’t remember the company.
HAPPY FRIDAY/HALLOWEEN GINA!
I’m a fan from San Angelo, Texas.. and my favorite bar is the… Smores Z-bar!
Im a lurker I kind of lurk around the whole food blog community. Im thinking about starting my own but i dont know it seems like it would take up some time.
And my favorite bar would be zbars and i think i like the chocolate brownie the best. The blueberry one is also good.
Recently ive been eating clif bar minis those are good too. I like the chocolate chip one
clif mojo sweet and salty peanutbutter pretzel!!!!
i love cinnamon roll lara bar bc it tastes just like a cinnamon roll….or mint brownie clif bar…yummmmmy mixed in vanilla greek yogurt.
I’ve lurked for a little while… Love your blog and your creative, healthy recipes.
My favorite bars are Larabars – especially the Peanut Butter Cookie.
another lurker here
my vote is for Clif Bars
Hi Gina!
Ok, I admit it… I’m a lurker! I really enjoy reading your blog. I have yet to find a bar that I like. The ones you mention sound good, especially when it involves PB and chocolate. But I live in Canada and haven’t found any of yours here yet… I’m still looking and will pick some up next time I’m in the States.
Are you looking at pink Dells? ‘Cause I just (like last week!) got a sparklin’ new pink Dell Studio laptop and I looooooove it! I’ve been meaning to post a new pic of it on my blog, but haven’t gotten to it yet.
Gina,
Yes, it is beautiful in Colorado. But guess where we’re headed next? . . . Georgia! haha. Ft. Benning for my husband’s (he’s a tanker) Captain Career Course when he gets back from Iraq! I wonder if it’s much different there from where you are in GA, hmm..
hi all you lovely lurkers!!!
thank you for reading my lil bloggy
traci- for your sake, i hope it’s nothing like valdosta!!
erin (pumpkin)- YES! it’s a dell! we’ll be computer twins
i’m glad to hear you like it. hopefully the best buy here will have it…
Hi, my name is Caroline and I am a lurker…there I said it:)
I have tried every bar out there it seems and I have to say that my favorite right now is the Chocolate Chip Z Bar…and the Peanut Butter Z bar is a very close second!
I am also guilty of being a lurker! I love kashi chewy granola cherry dark choc & kids clif bars yum!!
I’ve never had a Larabar so…(I know! I need to get out more!) I would have to say the Chocolate Chip Fiber One bar. Looooove them.
1. I am IN LOVE with dogs and your’s is soooo adorable!!
2. BARS- LOVE THEM! hhmm I’m thinking; brownie zbar (but i SO badly want to find the smores, pure protein smores(I wanna try those baked ones though!!) aaand chocolate coconut larabars! mmmm
OH and I totally just read Hilary’s comment and forgot about how much I LOVE kashi crunchy choc. caramel…I’m writing it on my list right nowww! soo good and a good source of protein too
Another lurker (she says sheepishly). I usually just don’t have anything to say except wow, that’s a great idea! Favorite bar? Everyone is obsessed with the Larabars, but I am a bigger fan of the Clif Nectar bars, basically the same thing only smaller (and cheaper) The lemon cashew is my fav!
great question!
Favorite based on taste: atkins chocolate peanut fudge, great stats (killer protein and fiber and vitamins), BUT a little high in sat fat and too much “fake fiber”
zone perfect in chocolate coconut is pretty delicious too
Fave based on nutrition: snickers low carb in peanut butter
Favorites overall….um, yeah probably pure protein bars.
I usually have an obscene assortment of all my favorite bars based on what I need at that moment, more protein or more fiber, more or less fat, etc. I am trying to really use bars only sparingly though, despite my penchant and vast collection. But they’re better than candy bars and serve the same function so hey, whatev.
ah, yes, something else. Okay, zbars may be tasty, but their nutritionals kinda suck. gram for gram you’re getting alot of sugar and not very much protein and in the grand scheme of things, not very much fiber either, whole grain claims be damned. I don’t get the obsession.
Another lurker here! My favorite bar is a larabar because they’re so filling! I haven’t tried a ton of bars, though. I do want to try Clif bars–mostly those holiday flavors I’ve been seeing on blogs!
Oooo…what kind of computer are you getting??
Favorite bar: Taco bar
Favorite bar: Snicker’s Marathon Chocolate Nut Burst.
Good luck on the new computer!
Hi, so like many people commenting tonight, I’m a lurker.. I love your blog though, you’re so entertaining and inspiring with your healthy food choices and dedication to exercise!
My favorite bar would have to be the Balance Caramel Blasts.
another lurker/Caroline commenting…i loveee your notes *en espanol* on your blog, I minored in Spanish and college and am also fluent!! Thanks for all the fun advice and recipes!
fave bar-odwalla choc chip peanut
I’ve definitely been lurking; I love your blog!! I really want to start my own, but haven’t taken the plunge yet. My favorite bar? Tough question! I think a Peanut Butter Balance bar… mmm…
Hi Gina! I am lurking from beautiful Charleston, SC. Your blog is fabulous! You are such an inspiration!! I haven’t found any bars that really make me happy. They don’t seem to hold me over! Happy Halloween Everyone!!!
i’m not really a lurker since i do comment from time to time but here i am anyway! living in london but from tokyo, and my favourite bar is the cashew cookie larabar
You caught me! I’m a lurker but some how i think you already knew. Favorite bar: Cliff Builder Bar!! It’s a toss up between mint and chocolate. Have a great day. Love you!
My favorite bar is the Clif Mojo sweet and salty peanut butter pretzel bar…the best bar ever made!
Hi Gina,
Lurker here:) I have ASUS EEE PC in pink (it’s a mini computer that fits in the palms of both of my hands)…great for traveling w/a camera and skyping ability built right in. It cost less than $500 and has a 3 year warranty which is pretty unbelievable as far as computers go…it comes in lots of colors too. Anyway my favorite bar changes from day to day depending on my nutritional needs and what else I have eaten for the day…that being said if I’m traveling (on planes, etc)…I usually always have a bar about 200 calories and an apple for extra fiber…really keeps you full and satisfied, cuz we all know most bars just leave you wanting more…I love coco mole larabars and cliff bar comes out with a gingerbread flavor this time of year. I tried to eat as “clean as possible” so I’m a big fan of the Organic Raw Food Bar in chocolate chip…they are made with all raw ingredients starting CASHEW BUTTER…to die for…I think you can get them in Trader Joes…YUMMERS
Ok, this is my first comment on a blog ever! I love your blog and how you list a lot of other blogs with links that open to new tabs–great feature!
My favorite bars are the caramel nut brownie Luna bar and I also like the chocolate peanut butter Zone bars–tastes just like candy! The only downside: I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but I think the soy in these bars make me break out =(.
Okay… lurking ceased… for now.
I know that this bar isn’t a favorite of many, but I just can’t get enough of the Peanut Butter Z-bars! I don’t think I could ever get sick of them!
my favorite bar is Pure Protein Marshmallow Eclipse too! It’s the best.
omg, cliff z-bars are THE BEST!!!
Yay for getting a new laptop! My favorite bar is the chocolate brownie z-bar.
Have fun in Orlando this weekend!!!
My favorite bar of all time would have to be the LunaBars, esp. their breakfast bars.

I really luvluvluv the lara bars!!!!! too bad they don’t sell them in my area (i have to drive over an hour to get sum)
