I’m trying. Really, people. For your sake, too, because I know you all desperately need my wisdom about natural living every Tuesday whether you like it or not. So I’m trying to make good choices for you.
Like today. 3′o’clock, I’m humming away on my Notebook ( eh… Netbook?), when the hunger rolls in. I perused the pantry and fridge, looking for something low-carb and low-sugar and still appealing.
I settled on an apple. Something to be said for apples. http://www.askdavetaylor.com/review_hp_pavilion_dv2_multimedia_notebook.htmlThey’re always better than you think they’re going to be. Except when they’re just a little too old and get mushy. Blech. But I ate an apple for my snack. That’s healthy and natural, so yay me making right choices.
I also quaffed 1/4 of a 2 liter (do the math, folks, that 1/2 liter) of Mountain Dew out of the bottle. Bad, Annie, bad! But I was tired. I needed my caffeination and it’s too hot for coffee. So, there it was, the Dew that’s been hogging space in my refrigerator for, oh, a month because I don’t even really like it and I don’t want it and I haven’t noticed it until today… well.
But I’m sitting outside on the porch enjoying the beauty of the day and admiring my little herbs which are finally planted (now that it’s almost June) and growing (I hope) happily in their new homes. So that’s two natural-ish things, and maybe they cancel out the Mountain Dew.
I don’t know what to tell you. You probably shouldn’t read these posts anymore. Because I’ll just be straight up with you: we’re going to be out running errands tonight, and I’m not doing a hippie-homemaker-pack-up-a-healthy-picnic-dinner-for-on-the-road. Instead, I have Steak’n'Shake coupons stashed in my planner…
I’m a fraud. I probably shouldn’t even have Natural Living as a category on my site. Now you know. Warn the others.
Oh girl! I do so well for a while. Living all healthy and crunchy. And then, it hits. The wave of potato chips, fast food and soda. I feel awful. Wallow a bit and then go back to my healthy ways…until the next wave hits! I hope you know you made me really hungry for steak n shake cheese fries!!!
It’s just life- live it. Chug the whole Dew next time if you want to! I would give the whole moderation {blah, blah, blah} speech, but we have all heard it {as well as given it}. And yes, now I am wishing there was a Steak ‘N Shake near me- thanks!!
I love this SO much! I’m so glad to hear that you are not 100% perfection in the natural living/eating category. It makes me feel better! I love to be healthy too and try really hard to make good choices, but hate to waste things, so if it’s there, wouldn’t it be better to put it to some good use? This made me laugh. Do your best and forget the rest. I can relate. Those perfect people, I just can’t relate to them!
Thanks!
Marci, LOL, oooooooh cheese fries… They are so very very good.
Rach, you’re right on. Sometimes we just gotta live life and not worry about getting it all right.
Betsy, ha, so far from perfect it’s not even funny! Okay, actually it is funny… heh.
ROWLANDGreta, thanks for your thoughtful comment…
