I’m very excited for lunch.

June 13, 2008

I’m eating this - it’s half a veggie sausage on a whole grain ezekiel english muffin with spinach, avocado and jalapenos. I’m very healthy all the time.


Lunch: Not this one but one very much like it and soon.

So last night Dane proposed something to me. He said that I could take over his nutrition for a month (although, ominously, “not on weekends” he said) if he could take over my writing career. What he means is getting me to pitch stories to people who might say no to me which makes me cry mad and not the actual writing because I am a genius and he, sadly, is not.

What do you think, internet…should I let him and also, do I really want to force Dane to eat vegetables for a month? Doesn’t that seem like a lot of work?

Of course you should do it.

And please send me half of your sandwich.

An entire month? Of eating vegetables?

He has to eat vegetables and all you have to do is maybe get said no to a few times (even though they will probably say yes)? YOU ARE GETTING THE BETTER DEAL! He must really love you.

Go for it. Pitchfest.

Okay, okay…so far 3 for and, um, none……PEOPLE! GETTING DANE TO EAT ANYTHING NOT FRIED IS NEAR TO IMPOSSIBLE.

ahem.

Continue with the voting please.

I think you should prolly do whatever he says. He sounds smart!

…. and handsome.

This sounds like a good deal for you, there’s no downside. Maybe after this month is over, he’ll start eating some vegetables voluntarily, and your brilliant writing career will be all launched and you will be rich and famous.

I am very much in favor of these ideas. Don’t worry. Dane will begin to enjoy vegetables after just a couple of days.

Just remember that a little bit of salt and butter and they slide right down.

And you, lady, shouldn’t be afraid to pitch. Just go. You’re fabulous.

(GO ON.)

You get the idea. Good luck with that.

The pitch-fest is a great idea though. You are quite talented Mrs. Hesselbee.

Oh, this is very good.

I would look at it this way: you should take the deal and then once you’re all rich and famous, you can leave Dane for a guy who eats vegetables all on his own. There is really no down side for you.

DO IT.

More so for you, than him.
