the everlasting kiwi....

all my life- i have witnessed the amazing phenomenon of ripening fruit.
(because that's what fruit does: it gets ripe...until it hits a certain point...and then it just gets rotten.)

well, please let me introduce you to

THE EVERLASTING KIWI:



i have been letting this poor little kiwi ripen for FOUR WEEKS...!
(and by now it should be soft/squishy/and pretty much inedible.)

well....
it was almost inedible.
(but only because it was still crunchy and green!!!)


and yes, i realize that there are probably much more interesting things that i could be talking about (besides crunchy-green-unripened-kiwis.)
*but, this thing was a freak of nature. and i just had to share...



in other news:
i am suffering from "working-woman's-tan."
(definition: "a tan that does not exist, due to the working-woman's indoor habitat during all the hours of the day that the sun actually makes you non-ghostly-white)

I knew i wasn't a beach-babe or anything, but i think i had been denying the fact that i GLOW(with whiteness)....
unless i went running last night...
(and a lovely little group of teenage boys decided to participate in some lovely little catcalls...)
and their phrase of choice...?

"Hey white-girl!"

(*which i wouldn't really think anything of....except for the fact that they were VERY VERY VERY caucasian.)



oh.
blasted working-woman's tan.
