Day 2 and I already have an Arch Nemesis!
January 27, 2009
Yes, you heard me right. I already have an arch nemesis. And to make it worse, he is my own flesh and blood. This evil evil man, you might ask, is my father!
It all started last night when I heard from the kitchen, “what’s with all this squirrel food” (he was referring to my pistachios, sunflower seeds, cashews, rice, and beans)? Now, this might not sound like an insult, but you have to understand that my dad and squirrels do not mix. It was actually quite offensive of him to say that.
Flashback:
About a year ago, a squirrel found itself in our house. My dad comes home from lunch, and finds this squirrel in the house, and tries to get it out. Instead of getting it out, however, it attacks him. Here is a visual reenactment:
Today, he told me that if I was going to eat non-processed foods for a week, that he was going to eat all processed foods for a week (and then proceeded to the kitchen where he opened up a bag of chips and stuck a Krispy Kreme donut into the microwave). Tonight, he thought it would be funny to eat chocolate-covered pretzels in front of my face:
and pretended to barf on my awesome stuffed peppers I made for dinner:
This…is what I have to live with. This also gives me an incentive to beat the crap out of this competition (also, because I’m on everyone’s Loser lists, thanks Geneva and Remi)!
So here we go! Day 2, I had:
* Breakfast/Lunch: Scrambled (cage free, grain fed, organic) eggs with onion, apple
*Snacks: Cashews, pistachios, banana
*Dinner: Stuffed green pepper made with brown rice, tomatoes, garlic, and onions
It was delicious! A little on the al dente side, but still good. I ate one tonight and am saving the other one for lunch tomorrow.
Tomorrow…that’s going to be interesting. One thing I know about librarians is that they love their food: cooking it, baking it, sharing it, and eating it! I’m going to be surrounded by temptations! We’ll see how it goes…

Becky! That is too much. You have to love the August 26 people in your life.
Plus you made one impressive meal. Nice work.

[...] Becky! Becky is putting the “some” in “awesome,” and is still in the game. This despite mental abuse from her own flesh and blood. In the words of Peep Show: “He does beat you though, mentally. And with his hands and with his fists.” [...]

Wow, that looks like it was a nasty squirrel attack. I may have to blog about rabid squierels in the greater Spokane area now to put the word out!
