Do Overs!

Okay here's what happened:

Jill and Stacy were on DAY ONE of their raw green smoothie fast - they did a blog together, where they flipped flopped about staying on it. Stacy ended it by saying - screw it I'm eating and getting some wine - Jill was all YAHOO ME TOO! She went off while Stacy stayed and worked on rewriting the blog THINKING that Jill was still there and assumed she saw the part where she decided to stick to the smoothies. By the time Jill DID see that Stacy had changed her mind - it was too late. Jill felt duped. Stacy felt so bad that Jill was unhappy - that she went and made a bowl of almonds and cashews, poured agave syrup on them and smothered them in chili lime salt. She ate them as a sign as solidarity but then they spent the next two hours going back and forth - misunderstanding the other one and getting madder and madder. And then they made up. Both feeling bad that they ever assumed anything but the best about the other. So today is about do overs.... not just with the raw green smoothies - but in friendship.

Note the puppies clawing at her face - cuz that's how it feels sometimes when ya have to apologize.

I do...but I don't!

Top 5 reasons we believe in green smoothies:

1. DELICIOUS
2. EASY
3. INFUSES YOU WITH HAPPY/ENERGY/HEALTH
4. EASY CLEAN UP (RINSE OUT BLENDER)
5. DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT FOOD PREP OR FOOD PERIOD.

Stacy's Favorite raw green smoothie:

watermelon
parsley
three dates
frozen banana
lime
dash of salt
(if need be teaspoon of coconut oil)

Yeah. Great. I love green smoothies too-

But DAMN GINA...I'm HUNGRY!!!!!!!

OK...am embracing the hunger. It's good to feel, right? (doing my lamaze breathing)

(INSERT CLEVER RETORT HERE)

OKAY - the truth? I'm exhausted and would love nothing better than to curl up on the couch w/ a pitcher of wine and a bag of those baked nacho cheese chips that Trader Joe's has. (I could eat two or three bags of those and still not hit the cal/fat content of one of those stupid raw cookies.) No, it's good we're doing this smoothie fast. AND I wish we could start some other day - after the past couple of weeks - I just wanna VEG.

A SMOOTHIE FAST SOUNDED GOOD ON SATURDAY - now it sounds stupid.

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:31pm

ok...I'm in....but we told everyone...

I could post a picture of a rain storm with a title that says

"SMOOTHIE FAST POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN DELAY"

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:32pm

NO CHIPS THOUGH...

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 6:36pm

for one split second - I THOUGHT you were saying that we get to have wine AND chips -

and.... for one split second i experienced pure and utter joy.
pure
and
utter.

It doesn't matter anyway - I don't have any wine.
and
i'm too tired to go out and get it.

Wait...

No, I'm not.

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:42pm

Sorry but no - no chips.

All I am is a bad influence......


I could put up a construction sign and write as a title:

"SMOOTHIE ROAD CLOSED, DETOUR ROUTE COMING."

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 6:45pm

No - we should do smoothies. It's okay. i'll feel better blah blah blah

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:48pm

So you weren't serious about delaying the fast? Now I'm looking at an F'n smoothie for dinner??



oh the let down of it all.......

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 6:51pm

i think it's kinda funny that we are so quick to give it up. i love that you are all ready to jump off with me.

No, we should stick w/ it because i don't have
any wine but honestly i'm so over raw at this moment.

i just realized I was like
what could i have that would be THAT good?
Last night i was sooo tired and chopped and did all this work for sushi... only to be like eh. it was okay at best.

So I could eat a salad or i can have a green smoothie. it's just... eh to me right now.

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:53pm

So what then?

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 7:01pm

i don't know

Jill Nipper August 30 at 7:06pm

God I want to have wine and watch Moulin Rouge....I even have a tray of bok choy and mushrooms left from last night.

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 7:08pm

ya know what... screw it. i'm going to get wine. i'm going to clean for a few hours and then i'm going to watch lord of the rings. let's start tomorrow.

Wait. No I'm not. I don't have time to veg.

that's the bottom line.

so... are you sitting there with Bok Choy in your mouth reading this?

IT'S TIME BITCH!

Stacy McQueen August 28 at 8:13pm

we gotta stop pussyfootin' around
and make some magic happen.

NIRVANA YET.

Jill Nipper August 28 at 8:14pm

Stacy McQueen August 28 at 8:20pm

Jill Nipper August 28 at 8:23pm

OH you betcha' sweet cherries we're talking about raw green smoothies. Only THE best thing ever invented...

The fast is on...how long?

Stacy McQueen August 28 at 8:33pm

2 WEEKS!

KIDDING.

3 Days?

I COULD TOTALLY DO 2 WEEKS.

totally.

Jill Nipper August 28 at 8:37pm

Oh, God yeah. I am ALL OVER the two weeks idea...

But then, we don't wanna... you know...INTIMIDATE anyone with our green smoothie prowess.

Maybe we should shoot for the 3 days.

Stacy McQueen August 28 at 8:41pm

Yeah, we should think of others - hate to make our 5 readers feel inferior.

okay three days it is.

Goodbye mushrooms!
Goodbye cucumber salad!
Goodbye WINE!

Jill Nipper August 28 at 8:46pm

Goodbye......wine? I mean YES!!!! GOODBYE WINE!!!!!!!!

Alright, so consider this my spit-shake. We. Are. On.

Stacy McQueen August 28 at 8:49pm

Patooey.

Firm handshake.

It is done.

But thankfully it doesn't start until Monday

(sound of uncorking - mushrooms being slid out of
dehydrator and spiced nuts being popped in my mouth)

Jill Nipper August 28 at 8:53pm

Fo sho, ho.

Fo. Sho.
