eat your veggies!

i’m freaking exhausted today. the ugly-bad lack of sleep from the weekend, monday night’s code-a-thon and class last night have all caught up with me to create an über-tired girl who can’t drink enough coffee to keep her head from drooping. guess who’s going to bed at eight o’clock tonight.
friday afternoon at work, after going to the farmer’s market at lunch, i had three big bags of amazing fresh produce sitting on my desk (as opposed to leaving them in my car to cook). sandy came up and was peeking through the plastic at the watermelon and green beans. she looked at me a little funny and said “i’m so proud of you for eating so well.” i must have made a funny face because she got a little embarrassed and continued, “it sounds weird, but so many single people just don’t seem to eat very well.”
for some reason, i’ve been thinking about that ever since. god knows i’m not health food girl by any stretch of the imagination, but i guess i do eat a lot of good-quality, home-made food. it is really hard for me to imagine living on boxed meals or eating out every day. *twitch* there have been times when my schedule hasn’t permitted me to eat normally and i actually get really, really antsy for homemade food. usually something green. mm, broccoli.
i don’t understand how people can not like vegetables. god, they’re so yummy! fresh and crisp and sweet and flavourful. lightly steamed or stirfried or blanched then sauted with some garlic and pepper… yum!
i love this layout and i don’t care what any of you think. that squirrel was a stroke of fucking genius. *chitter* i also think i love moveable type even though i feel like i’m cheating on noah for saying so.
i’m going to win the lottery tonight. just you wait and see!
