chocolate, cheese, and chips

Random thoughts on a rainy Friday.  Thought I might muse about my raw journey a bit in case anyone is cruising over from Lucie's blog.

*  The post title?  My downfalls, the three "ch"'s.  Seems like the closer I get to the end of this semester, the more I'm indulging.  Favorite vices:  See's peanut butter crunch, black pepper and sea salt potato chips, and those little $1 dollar blocks of manchega you can get at Whole Foods.  Washed down with a Kombucha I might add, just to a balance things out (not!).

*  Two years ago I announced my intention to get my Master's Degree.  This seemed to work like a charm.... three more weeks and I'm done.  Now I've decided to set another intention:  raw for 90 days.  I will start May 24th, the day after graduation.  

*  I like that I lean towards being an herbivore, like my best animal friends, the horses and the goats.  Sometimes I see them out there in the yard and secretly wish I could get down and munch grass too.

*  The other day I saw a TV ad and had an unusual reaction.  The ad was for Roundup, and it showed a cartoon of this crap being sprayed on a dandelion, and the dandelion shriveled up and died.... and I actually wanted to cry.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.  Don't they know how incredibly powerful and healthful plants like dandelions are?!  Why, just the other day I picked one to munch on as I was walking to class.  My Goddess!  We are so fucked up.

*  My favorite green smoothie at the moment is frozen banana, orange juice, some filtered water and as much organic spinach as I can cram into the blender.  I am disappointed if it all adds up to less than a quart.

*  That is all for now.  Thanks for listening.... and if you're new here, please feel free to comment.  Love ya!
