I get a lot of questions about the big salad that I make and eat all the time. It is just a chopped vegetable salad, but somehow the mix really works and is very tasty. The salad is also user friendly due to buying a few pre-chopped vegetables. The salad will last for approximately 5 days. I eat it at lunch and dinner and it is great with chicken. You will notice there is no cheese, croutons, nuts or seeds in it. Because that would defeat the purpose of the chopped vegetable salad.
1 - large head, green leaf lettuce
1 - tiny head bibb lettuce
1 - tiny head raddiccio
1 - red bell pepper
1 - yellow bell pepper
1 - largish cucumber, skin removed
1 - container precut tomatoes
1 - container sliced mushrooms
1 - bag matchstick carrots
1 - most of 1 large celery
optional - broccoli
I chop the above ingredients rather finely. I dislike salad bars and how large all the ingredients are. Bite size is preferable and easier to eat.
The mix of color and textures makes this salad a winner and never boring to eat.
For dressing I prefer Kraft Fat Free Italian or Fat Free Caesar. I do cheat with Naturally Fresh Lite Peppercorn Ranch sometimes too.
I saw this odd group yesterday and emailed my friend K about it.
“What is with the Support So and So X Group” I asked
K responded: “well, I’m not sure, but the rumor (as heard from P) is that she had some sort of run in with the law maybe over drugs or alcohol. Here’s the crazy part. R is now an assistant D.A. for Y county and she might be prosecuting the case. I think it also might have something to do with custody. The reason P thinks all of this is because she got a a facebook message from R saying that she was prosecuting one of our former classmates and if she thought about it she could probably guess who it was. Amazingly, one of So and So X’s good friends was Z who tormented R in high school. talk about revenge…”
And that is why you should teach your children not to be bullies. Especially when little girls in saddle oxfords grow up to be lawyers.

I got in the car this week and the radio turned on to the local classic rock station. Now I listen to lots of different kinds of music, a huge variety compared to most people, but there is a special spot in my heart for classic rock. I love Cream, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Eagles, etc. And most people in the South have drunkenly sang along to Freebird from Lynyrd Skynyrd at one point in their lives. Freebird was the song playing. I think I could hear Freebird 20 times a day if I flipped radio stations enough. And that is not something I want to do.
Anyway, I used to like to hum along to Freebird. I think not so much at this point. Especially after the crappy summer I have had dealing with every version of douchebag who can’t or won’t man up and do their job. And that means you too, crappy, nameless general contractors.
Freebird is on my list now of “Songs that cause me to change the station”. So over douchebags.
Seriously, read the lyrics. Noncommittal, loser, douchebag is the way I read it.
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I cant change.
But please dont take it badly,
cause lord knows Im to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
Cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird youll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Lord help me, I cant change.

I mentioned in my last post that my own personal hell of “Bad Vendor” is almost over. This is true. There was another side effect from the havoc he has wreaked. Me not being able to exercise and healthy food going out the window.
I kept the food thing somewhat together. But yesterday was the worst day ever when it came to food and I am paying for it today. My insides are fighting back and trying to tell me refocus. Because Chick-fil-A (no fries), Diet Dr. Peppers, to many coffees and to many cocktails have done me in.
Everything has been ok the last couple of months healthwise. Immune system seems to be functioning again. But these last couple of weeks have now come to a head.
Yesterday, I was one of the unfortunate people who got to sit on 75S for almost 3 hours due to the overturned dump truck and hazmat being called in. The Diet Dr. Pepper was not a good choice. Then when I finally did get into the office, I finished up some emails and met E3 and a friend out for Happy Hour at Top Flr. I had the bright idea to walk to Vortex on Peachtree where fried cheese was ordered along with a couple of rounds of tequila.
I am not hung over, just dying a bit inside. I see a trip to Willner’s Chemists today. A cleanse and liver fortifying vitamins seem to be the order of the day.
Back to no dairy and raw salad and roast chicken. I just really want to feel better tomorrow.
I saw the below video on Cajun Boy’s blog and loved it. So I am posting it here. Make sure you turn up the sound. Thank goodness football season is almost upon us. SEC Football in the fall is something I look forward to every year. On a side note, still very busy with my crazy vendor, but that should be over by next week. (I found a gray hair on my head. It appeared this summer and I blame bad vendor for it.)
I walked thru Lenox Mall yesterday at lunch. And all I saw was the same crap that had been the same stores for years. Nothing has changed. Except the sky-rocketing prices.
It just seems to me that retailers are not selling anything interesting or new. It is just buy, buy, buy and do it without thinking. What irritates me is how all this “STUFF” unless it is super high end, falls apart so easily. Nothing lasts. It’s all disposable and over priced.
I follow fashion religiously and there is nothing out there that excites me. Even in housewares where I am beyond cheap and refuse to spend loads of money on furniture. It is all a rehash. I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING NEW AND INTERESTING. And I don’t want to see it on the latest, trashy Hollywood starlet.
I was looking at people with the same name as me on Facebook. Seems as though we have small dogs, post annoying bikini pictures of ourselves, and one works at Hooters.
Good to know the other Leslie’s are so high class.

I finally watched all of the preview episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta that I had tivo’d many moons ago.
I just really don’t know what to say. I don’t know any of those people. I have a friend that goes to the opening of an envelope and she doesn’t know these people.
I feel like anything I say will be taken poorly, so I won’t say anything.
One thing is that this show is going down hill. It reminds me of My Super Sweet Sixteen on MTV. Fun the first time around, but everytime since gets more and more over the top to the point where I don’t watch anymore.
