Radio Killed the Radio Star

-
I turn on Christian pop radio.
8yr: No, not this station!
Me: Why not?
8yr: They only play boy singers!
Me: Nooo, come on. They play girl singers, too.
8yr: See! That's a boy singer!
Me: The next one will probably be a girl singer.
8yr: What if it's not?
Me: I'll give you gum.
8yr: OK.

She wins the gum.
I switch to other radio stations:
All boy singers.
I switch back to the first station:
Boy singer.
Three more songs later:
Still boy singers.

The sixth song starts...

IT'S A GIRL SINGER!!!

My car audience erupts with loud, uproarious celebration!...

Girl singers rock!
Bring it on!
Lovin' it!...

Then back to boy singer.

Sooo, Radio Stations, on behalf of my three little music-loving girl singers in the back seat of my car, what's up with the messed up gender ratio today? Is this the way it is? Is this the way it's going to be? Boy singers are great too, but let's get some more girl power in there. Maybe we need to put a demo together, haha...

My Fruitive Challenge Diet: Day One!

I’m excited to begin my Fruitive Challenge today! It’s a big leap of faith because I had never imagined myself committing to a 100% Whole Foods Plant Based diet! But here I am doing it. I thank my brother Gregg for recruiting and motivating me to give it a try. He’s been eating this way for several years now and he looks much healthier than I do. Here he is advertising his restaurant, Fruitive , on Instagram. Here’s the catch though, for the first two months of the diet, I’m also committed to eating SOS free diet, which means no added salt, oils, or sugar in the food I consume. I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

Shipt!

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
