Apples (to Apples?)

So this post (as I'm sure you guessed) is about apples. Spring is in the air, and mark the date: I walked to work with NO jacket today. It's gorgeous out! This also means in New York that the fruit vendors are out in full force. See Below:

It's quite amazing. I always am a sucker for the bananas and the green apples. The red apples are to bitter for me, so I like the nice and sweet green ones. But this isn't a blog about how much I LOVE apples, in fact its my RANT about Green Apples. Here goes.

Green Apple, you are amazing. You taste so delicious. In fact I yern for you all winter (I dont like to buy you when you're not in season-for several reason 1. you taste just so so 2. I believe that we should only have fruit thats in season in the grocery stores this would 3. reduce a huge amount of gasoline used to ship produce cause 4 I can live without you for a season.) So that being said. Why do you rush me to eat you???? I love you and I want to take this slow, but you rush me into eating you. I just dont like that theres a time limit from the time I start biting into you until the time i need to be done. Can't we take this slow? I'd like to enjoy you all morning, not just the 5 min. since the first bite. If I dont eat you quickly you proteste and look like this:

Pass me the ball I'm open.

So last evening was yet another night of Inner Tube Water Polo. This week we didn't play the ginormous agressive green giants. We played a team much more up to our par. There are only 4 teams, so unfortunately we are going to have to play the goliaths' again, but we played much more like a team last night. The scene looks a little like this:
Although, my team is much cooler, we're on blue poked dotted inner tubes, and the pool is half the size. I scored another 2 points. The game ended with the final score being 8-4. This time since I wasn't barfing a few hours before the game (like last week), Jill and I (as well as the whole team) went out for drinks to celebrate our victory. It's a fun group-all very different people and interesting to talk to. Jill and I got a bit drunk due to not eating crappy bar food (which actually looked delicious but swimsuit season is coming). Then tonight is my 'Junk' class. This class literally made me waddle for 4 days last week because I had never worked my lowerback/ass/inner thigh muscles like this woman forced me to. It was intense. So while you're doing whatever it is you do in the evenings imagine Me doing squats looking something like this:
Totally kidding, but at my gym: possible.
