the milkman cometh...

bring on the jokes, people!...we now have a milkman...

in an ever increasing effort to know where my food is from we now have our milk delivered from big strapping men in striped overalls...well, that's what i've heard since they come at the crack of dawn and i've never actually seen them...

the whole recent e. coli scare has really driven home the point of trying to source fresh local produce, meats, and dairy...i've spent this past summer on this and i am so glad i've found as many resources as i have out here...

but not as happy as i am that i haven't had spinach in about 6 mos!!!...for awhile there i was getting it all the time...bleh.

speaking of food, well dieting and exercise and other bodily tortures, i was reading this magazine that i get *solely* because it was 9 dollars a year and i am addicted to magazines...it has *some* good women's health information here and there but mainly it just has teeny tiny women talking about their weight loss and how hard they have to work at it...

blow. me.

i understand we are all runners in the same race (or sitters on the same couch) as women...it's hard to accept our bodies as we are...man i remember being early 20's with not an ounce of fat on me with cute figure flattering clothes being in clubs and SUCKING IN MY STOMACH!...good god i'd like to smack that girl!!!

BUT the whole whining about how hard you work to stay thin and healthy all the while having the benefit of personal trainers, private chefs, NOT TO MENTION photoshop and airbrushing well then...it's just wrong...

i still read the magazine, though...because apparently along with not being as thin and cute as i was when i was younger, i'm also apathetic and largely indifferent to the things that bug me...

so i'm reading it and there's some woman documenting what she eats in a typical day so they can analyze where she *goes wrong*...

well, i'm no expert but i can tell you right now that skipping breakfast and stopping for a grande caramel latte with whip every morning ain't doin' you no favors, laurie k. from denver, co....

so they go through the day and the nutrition expert *weighs in* (ha ha that's mine!) and says blah blah blah and then

"if you cut out the roll at lunch it's a savings of 200 calories a day!"

one roll?...200 calories?

wow. kinda puts the bottle of wine at dinner into perspective, doesn't it?

but on a *lighter note* (ha ha again, mine!) it's a good thing i don't even care for rolls!

indeed.

well, i'd love to sit here and talk about my accomplished drinking abilities but i've got a latin lesson to give and a wingman to distract from running by said latin lesson dressed in his roman gladiator suit yelling "attack! attack!"

oh, and i also have a date with the treadmill...

that is unless i can find something to distract me from my workout...

we can only hope.

x.

dinner tonight

tacos

the boybarians are thrilled!...one of their favorites for sure...spicy ground beef, crispy, salty, corn tortillas fresh from the frying pan, chopped cilantro and tomatoes, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, diced red onion, fresh salsa, tapatio hot sauce...
