Maybe Catwoman. Or She-Hulk.

I have a bruised rib. (This is actually much more painful and dramatic than it sounds. Just ask my husband, as I’ve been growling at him roughly every fifteen minutes to remind him how much pain I am in. MUST. GET. HEALTH. INSURANCE. Painkillers would be lovely.) I had a disagreement with a lawnmower and it won.

Other than that I am attempting to study for my history class and make a bunch of food to have on hand for the week. We’ve eaten lunch out almost everyday for the past two weeks and my stomach is starting to protest. (Not to mention Pizza and frozen chicken nugget dinners!) It amazes me that for years I could eat a cheesburger or taco or whatever fried crap I wanted with no consequence and now I may enjoy the meal for a moment or two, but will quickly regret it.

And at the risk of sounding like a bigger food snob than I actually am, I just don’t enjoy restaurant food like I used to. The flavors are muted, the ingredients questionable. You can’t have a second filling and feel ok about it, knowing that its full of homegrown produce and whole grains. Or maybe we just don’t have those kind of restaurants around here.
