There are 3 things I think about every time I stop to pump gas.  These aren't in any particular order as each time I'm cursed with the chore of getting gas they come to me at different times.

1. One of my best girlfriends accidentally put diesel gas in her suv.  yes yes, she realized that the nozzle didn't fit in properly but she thought it was "broken"  needless to say a short time after leaving the station the car broke down and she had to call AAA......."Ma'm sounds like you put diesel gas in your car"
my friend.... "what? who the hell would do that?"

I LOL EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!  Cut her some slack, she had pregnancy brain!!!

2. One of my other very close friends drove off, away from the pump, with the nozzle still stuck in her car. I don't think she likes to talk about it because maybe it wasn't as funny to her as it was to me.  But man, I crack up all the time thinking about it!!!

3. In Oregon you don't even have to pump your own gas.  Just something I think about.  Because I HATE HATE HATE to pump gas!

It was kind of like an unspoken clause in our marriage, I would NOT have to get gas.  For YEARS my wonderful husband would take my car and fill it up.  Fully knowing if he didn't, he would be brining me gas on the side of  the freeway.  God I love that man!!!
However, since I've stepped away from the full-time working world I've taken it upon myself to put gas in the car should it need some (aka the gas light is on the car is running on fumes) One time my Prius actually DID run out of gas on the freeway but thank god for that hybrid engine right?!!!  It got me off the freeway and to a gas station with battery life to spare.

Really,  this all has NOTHING to do with my post but just had to throw it out there since I was at the gas station today.

It is FINALLY hot!  Summer has graced us with her glorious presence after all these days/months.  I was beginning to really wonder about her and to be honest, started talking behind her back!  Not all bad things though. I've been delighted that my power bill is so low on account of not having the a/c on.  There is a silver lining to everything!

On a Primal front, I just finished up another fat fast.   While on my many road trips this summer I picked up that nasty Starbucks habit and by the time I was home again for good I found out that caffeine and sugar had BOTH creeped in, substantially I might add, to my diet.  The fat fast is a fantastic way to put a halt to those cravings and get me on the right track again. Coming off the caffeine this time was MUCH easier than my stint last January when I felt the need to commit myself into rehab.
Now, I'm clean once again and feeling FINE!

Saturday we went to the farmers market and met this delightful girl.  She and her family have a farm up in the north NORTH part of CA and she was telling us all about it.  I think we will probably have to get our next cow from them.  We bought some pork sausage from her and some bacon.  She was telling us that her dad will take hamburger and combine with the sausage to make hamburger patties.  Maybe I'm sheltered but I have never heard of such a thing. Makes total sense though right?!! Sausage is like bacon and can ONLY make things better!  So we tried it yesterday and OMG PEOPLE SLAP ME NOW!!!  That sh*t was gooooddddddd!!!!  My husband and I both said that those were the best burgers we had EVER HAD!!!!!  I used one pound of ground beef from our cow and then half a pound of that sausage we bought from her and mixed it up, pounded out my patties, added a tiny bit of Himalayan salts and some pepper, a little coconut oil, and then grilled them on the bbq.  I'm not gonna lie....I had a burger yesterday for lunch AND DINNER!!!!!

Tonight I'm going to make meatza and for the crust use a pound of hamburger and the other half pound of that sausage.  I'm thinking I'll top it with some bacon, avocado, olives, organic pineapple, and some buffalo mozzarella I got today.  Can't wait till dinner!

Why isn't that damn photo uploader working?? huh?  UGGHHHHH
