OK boys and girls stand up! It’s time to play Alison Says!
Alison Says… eat a giant salad for lunch EVERY DAY.
Woo HOO still standing!
Alison Says… figure out what to do with this giant winter squash you bought from the farm stand on the side of the road on Saturday.
Ohhhh I can do that! I can do that! Let's make soup.
Alison Says… peel that sucker and cube it up.
Done and done.
Dance a jig!!
Oh man didn’t get me! Totally NOT dancing a jig.
Blog: And just where have you been, young lady?
Me: Um, err… I was out.
Blog: out? OUT!? Where exactly is OUT?
Me: Well, let me start at the beginning.
A long, long time ago, on a Sassy Saturday afternoon…
I ate a salad.
A salad filled with red leaf lettuce, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers and green peppers. It was a lovely salad indeed.
After lunch I packed my bags for an old fashioned, get out your dancing shoes, life before kids, girls night out and sleepover to boot.
I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was that I get up 5am this morning but I have been walking around feeling like a zombie all day today. I. Am. Tired. I’d love to take a nap but I think at this point I’ve crossed the line from “taking a nap” to just “going to bed”. Do I know how to have a rockin’ good time on a Friday night or what?
For lunch I reheated some lasagna. That’s it. No salad, no side of steamed veggies. Just lasagna.
If you pay close attention, you can pretty much figure out exactly when I figured out the title to any given post. Sometimes it’s at the beginning. Sometimes it’s at the end. Sometimes I pull random crap out of the air and slap it into the title. Nonetheless, you should at least be able to determine WHEN I pulled crap out of the air.
Anyway. I’m not so sure about this “vegetable” thing. I mean how good can they be for you? Really now.

What exactly does that sign mean you ask? No yelling.
Now don’t get me wrong, I try not to yell. But you might say that I’ve been known to raise my voice. Sometimes I yell more than or louder than I’d like to admit. But I promise that I DO TRY not to yell. Some days I’m more successful than others.
