Some evil person brought donuts in to work this morning. Of course, I ate one. I�ve also had three bananas today. Can a person OD on potassium? Of course, if I�m gonna OD on vitamins and/or minerals, it�s gonna be Vitamin C. My beloved Naked Juice makes this one called �Power C� that has 1000% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C per serving and there are two servings per 16 oz bottle. Well, I drink a whole bottle at a time, of course. And I love that juice, so when I have it for breakfast I am getting 2000% of my daily recommended Vitamin C! I think I should cut down on that particular juice� Luckily, I don�t drink that particular juice every day. Also luckily, Naked Juice has many varieties which I love ever so much, so I have plenty to choose from. And wasn�t all of that just vastly entertaining? ~~~ I went on my first training walk yesterday evening. It was fun and the people in the group are all are nice, but I would have had more fun if Barbara were with me. There were about nine of us, and one doggie. :) We walked 5 miles. I was tired afterward and was starving. I hurried home and immediately made chicken fajitas and was so hungry that I burned my mouth up trying to eat them too fast! Man, I hate it when that happens. And I�m telling ya�as I sit here writing this, I am already tasting the chicken fajita leftovers I have in my fridge at home� I thought I was going to be sore, but I�m not (so far). It wasn�t the distance that caused me to think this, as 5 miles isn�t a big deal to me at all. It was the speed at which we walked. You have to understand that at only 5�2�, I have very short legs. They don�t walk very fast, as a rule. Last night, we walked faster than I am used to, especially at first. At first my shins were killing me (I have a problem with my shins when I walk too fast; I get shin splints very easily). Luckily, after like � mile we stopped so someone could use the bathroom and I stretched out a little more. We also slowed down to my usual pace after that anyway, so I was fine. We didn�t all stay together � a couple people zoomed off way ahead of us � but for the most part we were all pretty much walking at the same pace. ~~~ And ya know what? I don�t really have much else to say. I am really feeling bad for my brother Larry and his wife Peg today, because their kids are thankless little shits, but I don�t really feel like writing about that right now. Perhaps tomorrow. Perhaps never. ~~~ Word of the Day for Wednesday August 6, 2003 tutelage TOO-tuhl-ij; TYOO-, noun: 1. The act of guarding or protecting; guardianship; protection. 2.
