Sharp Around The Edges » Fun http://sharparoundtheedges.com/wordpress But Very Squishy in the Middle Thu, 11 Feb 2010 22:54:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Trying Something New… http://sharparoundtheedges.com/wordpress/2009/04/08/trying-something-new/ http://sharparoundtheedges.com/wordpress/2009/04/08/trying-something-new/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:08:08 +0000 sharplisa http://sharparoundtheedges.com/wordpress/?p=349 I’m turning over some kind of new leaf right? This here blog is going to go in a couple of different directions. I’d never deprive you of a great Khan story – one soon. I must have a place to bitch about the Army or I’ll blow up but I’m also starting to grab the bull by the horns and try to get our financial life back on track. (If you haven’t read about the devastation our next to last PCS caused, feel free to browse the archives.)

I am also really working on unblocking my creativity. It’s lost. I’ve missed it and I am trying to get it back. This blog is going to become a playground for all kinds of different things and I hope you’ll like them. Stay tuned.

Sorry for the hiatus. We’ve had company – not including 1SG Crabass – and with soccer, etc., it’s been busy.

These detox diets are very low in protein, no carbs and tons of vegetables. And by tons of vegetables I mean celery for breakfast and salads with no dressing for lunch. Salads with no dressing = gross. What have I done that I can’t even have a little vinaigrette? I am even okay with giving up coffee and my precious diet soda, but what has salad dressing done to hurt anyone?

But on Tuesday we undertook this venture. Breakfast was tahini butter (tastes like hummus) on toast with celery. In retrospect, I think that celery for breakfast should be illegal on all however many planets are in existence unless, of course, it’s stuck in a bloody mary. Lunch: plain salad and a baked sweet potato. And yet, I continued. I stuck with this plan for 2 2/3 days. Finally, I snapped. I called the Sarge.

Honey, I will give you a bottle of wine if we can have a G*d D*mn steak dinner.

God I love my enabler. Happy Love Thursday.

P.S. Because I’d already bought avocado for this detox, I got guacamole too. Just too awesome!
