so lately...

i've been darn lazy.

and i mean lazy.

it's 4:21pm

and i have been meaning to take a shower since...

oh, 3 hours ago.

you should have seen me last night after i tried to cook dinner. i was too lazy to eat the corn on the cob during dinner and then sat staring at my husband rinsing dishes while my body fought my mind trying to tell my body to get up and help.

i just couldn't.

after dinner tim drove me to brownsburg and we had ice cream. our dog needed walking but he slept during the all star game while i read east of eden and ate sunflower seeds for like 2.5 hours.

downright slovenly, folks.

one thing i did just now that i believe put me on the right track is to make a smoothie. i have been neglecting the smoothies as of late. for some reason, i stopped caring about energy and glowing skin and summer clothes and health. !!! i've never forgotten about health. even though i love $10 gas station runs every now and again, i've always had a deep desire to consume things that are good for me. i eat mcdonalds only when i'm starved or feel like a loser or have been denying myself for too long. ask me on a good day what i want to eat and i'll pick subway!

so i don't know what the heck is wrong with me.

but i do know that it's gotta change.

these slovenly ways might be connected to my terrible cravings for all things sugar & salt.

on a more positive note i broke out of my twilight funk and am devouring east of eden at the moment.

such. a. good. book.

so happy i discovered john steinbeck. i know i'm late, but i can't wait to read more of his work sometime in the future. i will be reading water for elephant next and look forward to seeing it in theatres.

ok i'm going to go finally take that shower.

oh! and today's smoothie recipe

(inspired by julie):

simply orange juice

banana

frozen blueberries

no milk smoothies have fewer texture issues...

this smoothie was yummy!
