MONSTER PEACH!! Actually, I found out that my monster peach is actually called a “ Prima Gattie ” peach. This, apparently, is a special patented type of peach. Its website says:
The Prima® brand ‘Prima Gattie’ is a late-season peach, so nature has taken its time to develop sweet, crisp flavor, and colossal size.
Like whoa. Colossal size. That’s what she said. And thus… the name MONSTER PEACH!!! The peach that ate New York.
Just to further emphasize the monstrosity of this peach, I give you exhibit A: monster peach next to the apple I ate along with it:
I hit up two of these puppies today. That has to be the equivalent of, like, at least 6 normal peaches. At least.
Midmorning, I had some zucchini and hummus to tide me over until lunch. That’s what happens when I don’t have any protein for breakfast… just two monster peaches and an apple…
Lesson learned.
Lunch was a turkey burger salad, sorry the pic is so dark.
with romaine, zucchini, avocado, lean turkey burger, egg whites, cheddar cheese, and olive oil/vinegar.
After lunch, I had a woman scheduled to come over to look at the dining room table set I was selling. It consisted of a dining room table, four chairs, a coffee table and a side table that all matched. Now I am completely desperate to get rid of some of this furniture, because I am completely going crazy with it all in my house and in my garage. So, for this nice glass-topped table set, I set a price of $75. For the entire set! I got lots of emails, but since I posted it on craigslist a lot of them flaked. Yesterday someone was supposed to come look at them in the evening and never showed. So I was happy when this woman actually showed up this afternoon, even though she was 45 minutes late. I show her the set, and she goes “Oh, it’s really nice but… I already have a dining room table. I actually just need the coffee table and side table. Can I just get those from you?” And I asked “well, how much will you pay for those?” And she goes… “How about $20?” I was like… are you kidding me? So I said no, that I thought that was too low of a price because I didn’t think that I would be able to sell the dining room table on its own for too much. So she sits there and thinks for a while (and the whole time it’s about 100 degrees in my garage and I’m missing work and getting more and more mad and frustrated.) Finally, she goes: “How about $30?” By this time I’m totally annoyed. And I’m so desperate to get rid of the furniture, I just said “fine.”
I expected her to leave, because she said earlier that she was going to come over and look at the furniture in the afternoon, and then if she wanted to purchase it she would have her husband come and pick it up in his truck in the evening. But all of a sudden, she goes… “I would like to just take it now. I think it will all fit in my car.” She had a Lincoln, but not one of those huge Lincoln Town Cars… rather… one of these:
Oh, and did I mention that she had her grandson with her? And that he was in a baby seat? Yeah. So the back seat of this small sedan was filled with a baby seat, and she wanted to fit a large glass-top coffee table and a large glass-top end table inside as well. Freakin woman.
To make a long story short, it took almost an hour to fit them both in. And they were completely precarious… I wouldn’t have driven 10 feet with two huge pieces of glass propped inside the car the way that she had them. But whatever. I just wanted this woman out of my townhouse complex and out of my life. The end.
So I’m kind of mad at myself, because I feel like I sold the two tables for way too cheap to a woman who was way too annoying, and now I have a dining room table that doesn’t match anything still sitting in my garage. Argh!
I was going to take a day of rest today (and tomorrow) because I have my 20-miler on Sunday and my legs are quite sore. But after this woman left, I totally felt like I had to let out some angst at the gym. I just went and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. It helped 
Afternoon snacks included yogurt with a kashi bar:
And some more of my homemade ice cream :
A little before-dinner drama, of course. I have to admit, it’s getting old….
But dinner was a turkey burger salad, which never gets old
And dessert was cottage cheese cheesecake pudding with Kashi GoLean crunch, two fudgsicles and a little bit of chocolate syrup. A key staple. Totally clutch.
Followed by an obligatory pre-bed pudding cup:
And we watched the movie “ Crash ” tonight. I looove that movie. I haven’t seen it in a while so forgot how much I love it. It was the first time that S had seen it, and he really enjoyed it too. It’s rare that I can sit and watch a whole movie without multitasking or having to take a break in the middle (especially one that I have already seen before) but I definitely managed to do it with this one.
Ok, bedtime for bozos. Gotta get my sleep this weekend for my big 20-miler on Sunday. I’m trying not to think about it….
G’night, ya’ll!
