Stuff That Makes Us Hillarys: Spontanious Mini Thought for the Hungry Days of May. Entry 3/7/2013

...in the beginning...

We are the Hillary family. I can't actually claim all of us to be Hillarys, we've meshed with the Stimpsons, the Doxstaders, the Merrimans, and the Lowreys - but the more you hang around us the more we kind of rub off on you, and poof - you become a Hillary. Which, after reading some of the things that we do might sound like a pretty frightening thing. The disclaimer is that I cannot embarrass any of my children, and I promised. Then I uncrossed my fingers. We love the following people in our family.... Del & Nicole, Matt & Bethany & Drew, Em, and the Noahman Ashley & Mike and Baby Mackadamia and soon to be..., Mandy & Ryan, J-man and Dimples, and Ryan and Katie - yes we own two Ryans! Not pictured: Zoey the German Shephard, Opi the newly adopted puppy, BG & Baby Red the Macaws (the latter two Zoey would eat if put in the same picture). Welcome to our Blog. Don't take us too seriously.... life is meant to have a never ending, bottomless tub of buttered popcorn and laughter.

Spontanious Mini Thought for the Hungry Days of May. Entry 3/7/2013

Please... stop yourself.... do not be fooled by the yummie look of this contraption.... it's fake - well, actually it's real, just really really horrid tasting. HOW could something so minty beautiful taste like alfalfa? Husband and I went through a detox a bit ago and now we are on a maintenance plan. We kicked out the cokes, (what were we thinking... summer is coming and a cold dollar coke... on ice.... and WHOA.. slow down) and all of the basic crud we willingly put into our bodies. Now please don't get me wrong - we're not health freaks or super sturdy choice makers - but we now are officially trained in the counting of just how many almonds we can eat, how to cut a taco chip in half, and relish (wait we can't have relish) the sound of a whirling blender hiding the taste of spinach and cucumbers. We actually feel better. It's not really about what we are eating (basically those same things that Popeye ate to get those sexy arms) but that we have control over what we are eating. If you know our personalities - it's TOTALLY about the control because we are freaking control freaks and we are IN CONTROL...... oh my - I may need a banana or something to calm those thoughts... never the less (I put that word in for you Mandy), I actually found my hip bone the other day. It was frightening - I thought I had actually lost it, but there it was - bless it's little calcium heart. So if you come to my house to eat, it may look and taste like cardboard, and that's because - it probably is. Here's to the murdered raspberries, blueberries, coconuts, kale, spinach, almonds, flax contraptions, celery, probiotics, unmentionables, vodka (not - just seeing if you're paying attention) almond milk, and ice we've consumed. Maybe I'll find my chin one day soon! Until then - I'll be watching a video on how to do a kip and saying, "ya - like I could ever fling this body that high".

Thought of the day:

Water - it's just actually plain boring.

Put a fish in it for protein.
