Take what you want but leave the grapefruit

Posted on May 10, 2008 by cass

I had a very weird dream last night - first I was on a plane with a really hot guy and the plane crashed and we were alone in this beautiful place and it was fantastic….then I had the stress part of the dream cycle where someone broke into our house and the FH wasn’t here….it was in the middle of the day, it was a strange dream and the guy opened up the fridge and started to take the grapefruit. I threw myself in front of the fridge took off my jewels and said “Take what you want but leave the grapefruit alone.” I was honestly VERY upset about this dream and the idea that someone could come in to my house and just take my grapefruit.

Speaking of grapefruit, how many is too many to eat in a 24 hour period? Let’s say that you’ve had 2 grapefruit the day before and you realize that the one thing that you could really eat right now is a grapefruit….even though you’ve already had 2, you know that the 3rd grapefruit is going to be THE best one of all with perfect segments and tang. You stop yourself from eating your 3rd grapefruit in less then 18 hours and so you have a peach and then some chocolate chip cookies and then you blog about your scary grapefruit dream and you still want that grapefruit. You have the grapefruit right? You eat it and you enjoy it and you rationalize that grapefruit is healthy food….no one would frown if you went after your third crown of broccoli….right? okay. be back later.

    I wish I liked grapefruit but it makes my face pucker and the place in my mouth behind my teeth twinge.

    Eat all the grapefruit you want while you still have time to do silly things like eat. The clocks ticking on you doing much of anything!

    Cass, I ate SO MUCH grapefruit while I was pregnant, too. It always sounded delish! I would buy the twenty something pound bags from the grocery store and before I knew it, they had vanished. Just think, I went 11 days early….maybe it was the grapefruit…Keep on eatin’. :)
