It happens every spring

Ugh. So usually the best thing about my CSA is that I start eating lots and lots and lots of leafy green vegetables. A better lunch for a better America and all that.

Only problem is that after a week or three of that many salads, my stomach usually rebels in a majorly epic way. A "No, fuck you!" way, as antheia might say. (Speaking of, happy birthday, doll!)

So I feel like I have gravel in my stomach at the moment. I have less than no interest in food, but my body insists on being annoying and getting hungry at times. (The nerve!) I'm doing my best, but I'm guessing I'm going to have to revert to eating like a three-year-old for a day or two while things reset and my stomach decides to stop being full of gravel.

And naturally, I have a fridge full of all sorts of lovely leafy greens. Of course.

I finished Bobby Murcer's memoir (Yankee for Life) today. It was excellent. Bobby was always a favorite of mine in the broadcast booth, and I was positively crushed when he passed. He seemed like such a genuinely nice guy, too. I loved his games, it was kind of like having a cool older relative sit with you and talk to you about the game in such a way that you felt more informed after. (Kind of like watching sports with my dad.) It was weird - reading the book, I could totally hear his voice just like I did for so many Yankee games over the years. And for my money, I will stand by the fact that my favorite broadcast team will always be Murcer, Jim Katt, and Michael Kay (back before his head grew to unnatural sizes). Yes, Scooter was fun and all, but he was gone by the time the 1996 team rolled around, and when I really got swept up in the pennant race and fell in love with the team in a way I hadn't loved them before. So it was nice to have Bobby back, in a way. It was also hard as hell to read about his diagnosis and fight with cancer, and how upbeat it was, knowing something he didn't know as of the writing of the book. I just hope that somewhere, Field of Dreams is real, and he's hanging with Munson and Mantle and some of the other guys right now.

Otherwise, not much to report on. Work was as usual - like hitting myself in the face with a nerf bat over and over again (not painful, but more than annoying). Our team won trivia yesterday by half a point, which was pretty cool. And now I have to decide between reading two books, but I think Game of Thrones will win that dogfight. Annd I'm going bridal gown shopping on Friday. Hopefully that will be less painful than I'm fearing. (Bringing a team of aces with me - my mom, quasisonic and blergeatkitty, so hopefully we can get something accomplished).

Tonight I got home in time to watch the Yankee game. I even got to watch a bunch with my dad over the phone. Talking to him was fun, my new tv has a great picture, and my apartment had a/c, so I was ready to settle in with some baseball goodness. Of course, they lost. I think that about sums up today. *sigh*

What greens? I can trade you a few boxes of whole wheat or ronzoni veggie pasta for it, I have a whole cabinet full of pasta

Thanks - I already have an entire cupboard full of Ronzoni already. I've been on my "leaf detox" for a day or so, and I'm already feeling better, but I'll definitely keep you in mind if these need a good home.
