Mike is in St Cloud at some Wastewater/Water Treatment School thingy. So that leaves me unsupervised for a few days. I know he's going to read this and I also know he won't be a bit surprised at how quickly I can revert to the deplorable eating habits I had when he first found me.
Let me say that not one vegetable, other than two baked potatoes with butter and sour cream, has crossed the barrier of my lips in the last 36 hours. I am veggie free! I have eaten fruit in the form of four nearly green bananas and I keep eying the pineapple on the counter but it's looking labor intensive and the chocolate covered cherries are, well, more accessible
I had pizza for breakfast yesterday at about 11 am when I remembered I hadn't eaten yet. At Target, where I was picking up my medications, I accidentally bought a bag of Double Chocolate Milano cookies and a bag of Tahiti's because they were 2 for $5.00. I ate half of the Milano's yesterday. After Target I came home and had Lay's potato chips and dip for lunch. At about 7 pm I cooked my steak and had a baked potato. I only ate half the steak so I was able to have a repeat for supper tonight with the addition of toast. At 2 am, I had more toast and a couple of Tahiti's for a snack and went back to bed.
Mike is rolling his eyes about now and working up the "What do I got to do to get you to take care of yourself while I'm gone?" lecture. The truth is I can and do take care of my self even if it is like a 13 yr old left home alone for the first time. And this is the first time. The first time Mike and I have been apart for more than a days work since....since I can't remember when? I'm a little giddy with the freedom. Not that I would want a steady diet of it but I think this separation is good for us both. It signals that we are both OK.
So, I screwed around with my freedom this morning and ran out of time for the yogurt, granola, fruit parfait I was going to make (it's the thought that counts). I stopped at McDonald's for a number 2 and it was delicious, guilt and all! I was still too full at lunch from the sausage McMuffin with egg, so ate my banana and put my homemade chicken soup in the fridge. I had two cheese sticks (organic from Harmony food co-op) for snack with my coffee this afternoon and now that dinner is over I am considering the pineapple again, proof I know what I should eat....except there is Maple Nut ice cream in the freezer.
Peace People,
Karen

That's my girl! Milano cookies all the way! I used to eat poptarts and smoke cigarettes when Rick left town. But, of course, that was before kids....
Oh, Karen. I am soooo envious right now. This is exactly what I do when I am left by myself. Except cool ranch doritos would be in the mix somewhere.
Please, carry on and just put your chin toward your chest and smile when he returns.
Love ya!
