A Day In The Life Of The Pink Squirrel

1) Wake up.
2) Get dressed.
3) Plead with kids to wake up.
4) Bribe kids to get dressed.
5) Tell kids they will be very sorry if they don't wake up and get dressed RIGHT THIS INSTANT.
6) Wonder to self why that still works, but grateful nonetheless.
7) Drop kids off at school.
8) Sing along with the radio.
9) Drive to the gym.
10) Say hi to Bob.
11) Put on pink squirrel shoes.
12) Put on pink squirrel gloves.
13) Spend the next 40 minutes getting my pink squirrel ass kicked.

The look means nothing if you can't back it up and I got nothin. At one point, mid fight, I asked him...so, what's my grade so far, B?, B-?, an A for effort?(grinning at him through my pink mouth guard) Pretty sure that's about the time I leaned into his superman punch...or maybe it was when he kicked me against the mat and slammed me to the ground...no matter, I am proud to report I did not get an F...course, that's only because I didn't cry. Woohoo D-!

After my beating was over, all Bob could do was sit in the chair and say while shaking his head...I just don't get it, you look so good on the mitts.

Um yeah, I'm pretty confident when I'm sure I'm not going to get hit back...but throw a Bob in front of me complete with the whole ducking, bobbing and weaving and the sticking out of the tongue...did I mention he also growls? Hello INTIMIDATION. It's then that the puppy in me just wants to roll over and have her belly rubbed.

Oh but it is SO much fun.

I then drove straight home for an ass kicking green muscle recovery shake.

These "green smoothies", "green monsters", or as I like to call them, green muscle recovery shakes...have been an interesting learning experience to say the least. I was using Soy Milk as the base till I found out SOY IS BAD. So then I switched to lowfat organic milk. One day last week I wondered if I really needed anything but water as my base at all and proceeded to whip one up with:

8 oz of water
a scoop of natural whey
two handfuls of organic baby spinach
a handful of organic kale
a handful of organic blueberries
and a squirt of raw, wild honey...

Yeah, what I got was a giant green and blue speckled marshmallow that not even I could chew through whilst driving to work.

Fast forward to today and I am out of low fat organic milk. So as not to repeat the green and blue speckled marshmallow incident I used:

16oz of water
1/2 c. of organic low fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 scoop of natural whey
a handful of organic baby spinach
a handful of organic kale
a squirt of raw, wild honey
and a handful of organic blueberries.
...At the last minute I also threw in a squirt of green tea extract.

It was good...all 500 oz of it.

How 16oz became that much I really don't understand, but 4 hours later and I'm still not hungry.

Every pink squirrel has her day...someday...

I'm just sayin.
