My CSers are gone and the house is empty again. Guinness couldn't handle it much longer, but I like company.
The one in the army left this morning after staying only one night. We went to eat at the Tap Room (I had a big beautiful spinach salad with onions, tomato, and mushrooms and then grabbed some beer and watched TV on the computer. I thoroughly enjoyed free dinner and drinks.
The German one just had be drop him off on the side of the highway so he could hitchhike to Greensboro. It felt weird leaving him there! But he has my number if anything happens. Sounds like fun - I would love to do that if I wasn't a girl.

80/10/10
I decided to use the handy dandy calculator on nutritiondata.com to see what exactly I had eaten so far today.
3 small peaches
2 apples
huge kale salad with onions - dressing made of 1/2 jalapeno and a tomato in the blender
raw peanuts on top - small handful
pomegranate
It has been 819 calories - ratio 71/20/9 - I had no idea I was consuming so few calories. I need to step it up!
Now if I had omitted the peanuts - ratio would have been 85/8/7
That would have been uber easy to do, but I just felt like having some peanuts on my salad. Oops.
I wonder what I would have to eat to make the ratio look a little closer to how it should.
Unfortunately, I probably won't get to try since I have another CSer coming in for the night and more likely than not will want to go out to eat. I could do what I did last time and have a GIANT spinach salad (which I love) but I don't know - it depends where we go. Crossing my fingers.
..... edited to add:
I just ate four bananas and my calories went to 1239 and ratio to 79/14/7
Cool!! What should I eat with a tad more protein and no fat?

Snow Mist
Light snow mist. So not what I wanted to greet me this morning. For me, Tuesdays are like most people's Mondays. Today shall be no exception. Gotta decide what's for breakfast, cause I don't think we're going to Denny's. Maybe for lunch, it goes until 2pm. Sigh.
Oh, and Kitty Kat shit in the bedroom again last night. WTF? This is becoming a serious problem - even when Guinness is locked up she's too afraid to use the litter box? At least she pees down the drain in the sink. That is rather convenient as far as non-litterbox locations go.

Evening
Farmer's Market was awesome.
Sweet potatoes
Pink lady apples
Bananas for 59c a lb!
Cabbage
Onions
Kale & other greens
Beautiful tomatoes!
Peaches
Pomegranate
And my guilty pleasure - mixed nuts
I love supporting local farmers. Yum.
Can't wait for spring!!
And I was naughty - stopped by Wally World for a bottle of Sherry. Thought I would try something new and I have never had to drink so slowly, it's strong and yummy, but only 20% so I won't get drunk :) Perfect.
Tomorrow, apparently Dennys is giving away free breakfast from 6am - 2pm . . . so that's where I'll be tomorrow morning. I know, it's only a few dollars saved, but why the hell not. I can handle another dead (non-raw / cooked) meal, especially since I'll be working all day.
The thing I have the hardest time believing is no coffee in over a month! What?? I'm usually a coffee addict! And I don't even crave it - miss it a little - but not bad.
Just had some kickass sweet potato "fries" - just tossed the raw sliced SPs with some sea salt and cayenne pepper for an awesome snack. I know it isn't great to use seasonings and stuff, but I couldn't resist the extra kick.

Leftover Facepaint
I wanted more than anything in the whole world to sleep in today. Why oh why can't I ever sleep? Last night was fun, I splurged and ate everything at the Superbowl party. Now I feel like hell - and not from the beer - it's from all the horribly unhealthy food. I thought one night won't kill me, but it may as well have. Back to fruit for me. Won't do that again!
I have such a long list of things to do and no motivation to do them. Zebulon is a bust, the lady isn't going to pay me AGAIN this month, so I'm more than screwed. The horses have to come here asap. Come home Dima!!! I don't know how to work the chain saw :(
Hosting a CSer from Germany for a couple days. We went out to the Leesville Taproom and I had a GIANT bowl of spinach with tomatoes, dressed with lemon juice. Then we went to the Carolina Alehouse and I had the most amazing raw tuna steak (I know, not vegan, but it was so delicious) with a load of raw veggies. Today we're going to the farmers' market downtown and maybe hitting some museums. I don't know if any of them are interesting enough, but maybe we'll find a free one. Anything free is interesting.
Maybe I'll write more later. It seems like I've slacked down to once a week posts. For now, I'm going to watch episode 3 of the final season of L Word. So addicted!!!!

Fasting Day
Watching the L Word. My favoritest show ever, I'm so terribly sad it's the last season. Hope the spin off is good too!!
The past few days have been a little rough. I think a combination of things I let slide caused a bit of an avalanche. To start, I've been alone for a little while. The un-grounded half of my brain gets going faster than the logical half, which makes me teeter totter. Then a friend came for a few days who tends to be a less than stellar influence. I love her to death, but I feel like being around her gives me a right to be self-abusive. That is a long explanation, and really has nothing to do with her. Maybe more on that another time. The third thing is somehow forgetting to take my meds a couple days in a row. Not sure how that happened. Oh, an the absurd amount of alcohol every night didn't help either.
Normally, after a stint like that, I feel incredibly guilty and even more self-loathing. When I woke up this morning, I made the decision to make today (my day off from work) a cleansing day. I don't need to feel guilty, I had a lapse and it's okay, and now I'm going to have a better day. If I make it through the day, I might decide to have a better week.
I took a bunch of pictures recently, they're on my facebook. I'm done with MySpace, it's too much work to keep up with both.

Snowbaby
It's snowing lightly and we just had our first foal of the year. Cute bay filly with a blaze. I'm so tired and unusually hungry - few more hours and then back at work. Washed my sheets and pulled them fresh out of the dryer so there would be something warm in my bed. No doggies - Guinness is too big and hogs the middle. Just Kitty Kat, who tried to attack my fart through the covers.
I feel like I need something, but I don't know what. I am restless right now. My New Years' Resolution is to simplify my life and I am craving it all at once. No patience. I want it now - but what else is new?
