Stuff that went in my belly this week.

Based on the pictures I took this week it would appear I don't eat breakfast. I do but my brain is in an I don't do mornings fog until about 2 every afternoon so I'm just not thinking clearly enough to remember to take pictures. Just know there is a mug of Good Earth tea and a Greek yogurt being had almost every morning.

About 27 avocados. I was seriously craving them this week.


Zucchini


Which was turned into Panko breaded baked zucchini sticks.
My husband liked the breaded zucchini but did mention more than once that it wasn't crispy enough, which is Hoss speak for "These should be fried."

A made by my husband green pepper omelet with avocado and hot sauce.

 This was so good and I was so hungry that the omelet was half gone before I took a picture.

Tall Tai Chi latte.


 
Green peppers, black beans, corn sauté


Which was made into a ground turkey, quinoa casserole again topped with avocado.
Yet again I ate both my servings so fast there was no time for a picture. This is a picture of my daughters bowl.

Homemade not quite my Grandma Juanita's but still good tortillas.  


These 2 good looking fellas helped make the tortillas.

Flauta, black beans, rice with homemade soy free soy sauce.
Nothing spectacular this week. Besides the one Sbux my husband brought home for me, I drank only water. It's clean, it's cold, now that's what I call high quality H2O! (name that movie)

Even though all her food looks like art and my camera won't even focus lately, I'm sending this post over to

To friend or not to friend?

I received a Facebook friend request from someone I went to high school with. Why on earth would this chica request me as a friend? She hated me. For no good reason either, simply because we liked the same boy. We all know boys can be what it's all about during the high school years.  So now I'm left with the question, do I accept the friend request or not? I solve many of life's dilemas with a good old pros and cons list. Join me won't you?

Pros to being a FB friend with mean little chica from high school:
1. Forgiveness. I didn't know there was anything to forgive until the second I saw her name on my computer screen. I was instantly taken back to 9th grade and remembered how mean she was. Not just to me, just mean in general. Now that I've lived a few years in the real world I realize she was most likely unhappy and being mean to others is how she dealt with it.

2. Selfish vindication. She always made fun of me for being too skinny. I had knobby knees, no hips, skinny legs, and big feet. Little did she know I was dealing with an eating disorder to cope with my own messed up life. Obviously I've conquered that issue.  I've got some great big Mexican birthing hips now, knees no longer knobby and my legs are one of my favorite features. Big feet, yeah I still have those. With my size 9's I should be 6 feet tall. Being the immature human that I am though, I want to see pictures of what she looks like today. Maybe she's bald. Or didn't age well. Or was finally knocked out by someone, lost 3 teeth in the fight and never got around to fixing them. I know, I'm horrible. I almost didn't type that paragraph, but then figured God already knows I thought it, may as well share it with others.

3. Second chances. I'm all about them. Maybe she left all that nastiness behind on graduation day.

Cons to being FB friends with mean little chica from high school:

1. I try to practice what I preach. I tell my daughter not to friend everyone she's ever said 'hi' to. She doesn't listen to me, but still I preach it. She has over 300 FB friends, she hardly knows some of them. I think it's all about the numbers to her. She'll learn. I try to only FB friends with people I know in real life, people I would want to hang out with, people I do hang out with, people I don't mind knowing how my twisted little mind works. People I like. People who know me but love me anyway. People I have dirt on.

2.*Gasp* What if she only wants to be friends with me to see if I am bald? If I am not aging well? If I'm missing 3 teeth? Oh crap.

3. I don't wanna.

4. You can't make me.

Well that settles it. The cons outweigh the pros. Decision made. Mean little chica from high school misses out on my witty and charming little slice of the social network.

Have you ever been in this situation? Did you react more maturely than I did? Do you accept every request you get?


*I was going to include some pics of me in high school but my gosh darn scanner is on the fritz. I swear. This is what I remember looking like though:

Yep, that looks about right.
