If You Have Yet To Witness Me Extremely Excited About Eating: I Look Like A Ravenous Panda*

*warning: graphic post


Last night, at 11:00 pm, I got hungry. SUPER hungry. For salad : )


So I made a huge salad, grabbed a fork and called Tommy, because I just could not wait until I was finished to talk to him. [I'd already spent an extra hour trudging through sociology reading and maintaining atrocious self-discipline.]


I called him, and we talked as I inhaled my salad.
That was not the best of plans.
I look and act like a ravenous panda when I am happy and eating, and happy about eating.

In my desperation to speak while chewing a mouth full of salad,
I choked,
almost died [not really but it was a pretty good run],
and a piece of lettuce tried to go up and out of my nose.

I managed to sputter and cough my way back to normal breathing
at which point I started laughing
at which point Tommy asked if I was okay
at which point I told him it almost went up/came out my nose!
at which point he asked what I was drinking.

At which point I told him I wasn't drinking anything.

I was eating salad.


And yes, saying it out-loud definitely makes it more funny. So I had to laugh some more.


Just evidence Naked Apes, that health food can kill you.
And that men can still want to marry you even after they seriously question your intelligence.


Life is good : )

my apologies for the delay, i realize how imperative this post is.

p.p.s if you ever have time on your hands and want to try something interesting I've only just scraped the surface of: pay attention to where and when the word 'good' is used in the scriptures. Especially by God and prophets/apostles. This word has become so much more powerful to me in realizing the unbelievably precious things that have been described using it : ) Never again can I be asked "How're you doing?" and respond with the generic "good" without truly thinking on it. For me it is no more a word of mere adequacy or nonchalance, but a word used to describe the very best of existence.
