Wouldn't it be nice to have a real weekend? That would make today a God-send. But alas, my vocabulary does not include words such as weekend, lounge around, TGIF, etc.
Yours truly,
Groucho the Weekendless Grump.

Bum (and not the good kind)
I suck at keeping up with this stuff. Lazy bum.
We went to a horse show recently and it went well - no wins but the horses were good and it made for a nice start to the show year. Next one is in our backyard at the Raleigh fairgrounds, probably only taking one horse. That will be fun I hope!
Still not sleeping well. Argh. One day, I will not have a drink and I will drift peacefully off to sleep. One day. For now I will continue to wrestle with my inner demons that insist I have that first glass of wine (fast forward three hours) pass out on the couch (fast forward again) not get taken to bed by *ahem* someone (fast forward to 3am) wake up at an unholy hour and dick around until it's time to work. All the coffee in the world doesn't make the day any more pleasant. And then it's 5pm again and time for another go at it.
Goodness gracious. I'm too young to be such a bum.

No mas Zebulon in 12 hours!!
It's going to be tricky. I am going to pick up horses, move all my shit out of the house, give my 30 days notice to both the landlord and my tenant . . . all at once. Hopefully nobody goes apeshit.
Our pasture is ready for horses, but not permanently. I still have to fix some posts, chop up brush, seed and secure the shelter. BUT it will contain my girls for now and I'm grateful for that.
I LOVE romaine. I chopped up some roma tomatoes, some onion and jalapeno, a sprinkle of flax seeds (for fat) and put in a leaf for a DIVINE burrito. Several more to follow!

Oopsies ratio
Nutritiondata.com is so cool. My ratio today was 67/3/3 and the other 27 % of calories came from alcohol. I had no idea!! Good to know. That is hugely significant and really not bueno!
Breakfast and lunch = total 15 bananas (1348 calories, 346g carbs, 5g fat, 17g protein)
Dinner = 2 ears raw corn (126 calories, 28g carbs, 2g fat, 5g protein)
With only my food intake, my ratio was 91/4/5.
Total 1474 calories.
The bottle of wine gave me 623 calories, 15 carbs, 0g fat, and 1g protein)
That threw my ratio to 94/3/3 (counting "alcohol" as carbs) or 27/67/3/3 (alcohol/carbs/fat/protein)
Total 2096 calories.
What is a good source of fat and protein that doesn't go off the deep end?
Maybe I'll just call it quits for tonight. Too many numbers! Let's pretend this ratio makes up for all the avocados (4!!) I have had since Monday. Oi.
Ps- I LOVE avocados. Set a pint of ice cream next to an avocado and I say fuck the luscious milkiness and let me indulge in the raw beauty of that gorgeous green thing. And those who know me understand my absurd devotion to my ice cream obsession. Alas, no more.

Banamanammanas
No more! Ahhhhhh!!!!!! I eated too many. Total today was 15.
Going to WalMart in a moment to stock up again and then painfully wait until they are ripe.
Very productive day and so beautiful outside! Absolutely gorgeous weather, taught some good lessons, did yardwork, cleaned up a bit, now if only I could become motivated enough to put away laundry . . . .
Nah.
Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!

Whoa!!!
My ratio so far today is 91/4/5 !! 920 calories - I gotta figure out how to eat more calories. Maybe need to up the quantities, but I get full :( Tomorrow morning I'm having 6 bananas for breakfast. That's all that I have ripe :(
I want to figure out how to incorporate some avocado with my dinner without throwing the fat ratio off the deep end. Just a little - but it's my favorite taste in the world so I want it and I have it so I'll eat it !!!
