will receive this troll in the mail. unless jeremy hides it from me when he reads this post. WHICH WOULD NOT BE VERY SPORTING OF HIM. i'm trying to do a blog giveaway to boost my page hits. BE A TEAM PLAYER, HANCOCK.
anyway. today's smoothie was a triumph indeed.
here's my breakfast of bountiful beverages. that's 1 delicious smoothie, 1 cup of godiva coffee and 1 slimey nalgene bottle that should probably have been washed a couple days ago ... of water (and some various and sundry bacteria).
monday's smoothie of triumph
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 pear
- 2 large handfuls of spinach
- 1 splash of almond mylk
- 1/2 cup fage yogurt
- generous sprinkling (read: dumping) of cinnamon
- 5 or 6 ice cubes
it was a real good smoothie. must remember this for future smoothies: banana + pear = yum.
my lunch for today includes a baked potato with trader joe's light feta cheese, peas, and an apple. i also packed a hurricane fruit cup because i am fat and i like to eat food.
terrifying realization of the day: there are only 42 days and 15 hours until christmas.
who among us is prepared for this? not this guy, i'll tell ya that. though i did get a little shopping done this morning, thankyouverymuch mr. internet. and before you go getting any ideas, I DELETED THE HISTORY, JEREMY. so don't even think about it! hm. perhaps i've already said too much!!
today is such a beautiful day. i am sitting by the window looking at this golden/orange tree outside, and the wind is blowing gently and leaves are fluttering down to the ground and it's just so lovely but also does not help with my raging case of homesickness/mountain fever. jeremy and i had been planning to go to natural bridge this weekend
and hang out in the caverns and check out the wax museum but then i had too much work to do and we had to cancel which is a bummer. but then i got to thinking about it, and i really didn't want to go to virginia mountains anyway. i want/need/am dying for my mountains. i want to go hiking on the boone fork loop trail!
i want the blue ridge parkway! grandfather mountain!
howard's knob!
water rock knob!
moses cone manor!
hebron rock colony!
just look how happy this weird lady that i found on the internet is! well guess what people! if i was hugging a hebron rock colony boulder, i'd be that happy too!!
oh i die!!
the leaves are pretty here in the swamp this year, but it's just not the same. i miss being surrounded by tall, majestic mountains. it's like the earth is your body guard, protecting you from the wicked rest of the world, surrounding you in its rocky embrace. here in the swamp, you're just an easy target hanging out in the open. vulnerable. helpless! ack!
ok ok, i am done feeling sorry for myself. but i really, really want to go home super bad. who else knows what this feels like? anyone else withering away from homesickness? well, not literally. i wish i was withering away. in my case it's more like i'm plumping up from homesickness.
OK PEOPLE I THINK WE ARE DONE HERE.
don't forget to send me your deets so that YOU, yes YOU!! can be the proud new owner of a handmade norweigan or swedish or some kind of vaguely scandinavian troll which may or may not bring a curse upon your household with its dark viking magic. it's probably worth a ton of money. take it to the antique road show. you won't be sorry.
