"please don't send me the ugly troll. i would never forgive you."

...taken from correspondence i received tonight from one of the people i love most in this universe. i guess there are just times when people don't see eye to eye on things like hideous and possibly undoubtedly cursed norse trolls. that freaky little demon doll is actually starting to grow on me.

though if somebody has changed her mind and decided she wants it, please send me your address.

anyway i have a lot of meals to post.



this was tuesday night's dinner. i had a banana mango smoothie and jeremy had brown rice and japanese vegetables and potstickers with a ribeye steak. [gross]



for breakfast this morning, i enjoyed a lovely green smoothie which was pretty much the same as the other ones i've made lately only i threw some oats into this one.



for lunch, i packed brown rice, japanese vegetables, an apple and a pear. i ended up eating the pear with dinner instead of with lunch. in case you were wondering, i've done a HORRIBLE job of staying hydrated. that day when i wanted to drink 3 nalgenes of water? remember? i barely made it through 1. today i almost made it through 2 but then i switched to a diet rootbeer when i got home because that's a new thing i'm doing. i drink a diet rootbeer at night time so i can feel special. because it's in a bottle. or something.



here's dinner. this was an exquisite smoothie.

exquisite smoothie recipe

• 1 frozen banana
• some frozen mango chunks
• almond mylk
• fistfuls of spinach
• cinnamon!!!

i'm telling you, this was a great smoothie. you should definitely make it. but only if you have a blendtec or a vitamix because it would probably not do anything in a lesser blending machine. all that frozen stuff and not much liquid.



here is a picture of me in my house uniform. it's layers and layers of fleece and a fleece lined snowboarding hat. (wool socks not pictured). it's cold in my house y'all. see how one of my glasses lenses is all foggy? yeah that would be FROM MY BREATH. but i'll be dang'd if i'm turning on the heat.

jeremy and i are going to see jeff mangum in february in charlottesville. it's going to be pretty awesome.



here is a picture that i found of jeff mangum. i always thought he would be uglier.



speaking of attractive people, here's a picture of jeremy. he is doing no shave november but not because of prostate cancer awareness. he's just doing it because he thinks his face would look better with beard hiding more of it. i think that is hogwash.



see what i mean? that's a good looking face. hair or no hair. wait, you've been looking too long. eyes off! skanks.

but anyway, what does everyone else think? should jeremy continue not shaving far into the winter and grow a mountain man beard? or should he shave down to a baby's bottom smoothness? cast your vote now!
