Have you ever have one of those days, where you need to dye your hair so bad that you have no choice other than wearing a hat or a headband everywhere you go? No? Whatever. I’m there right now. My roots are so bad that I only have the choice to wear something to cover my head. A bag might work. Somebody once told me on a comment I should just wear a bag over my head so no one had to look at me. Sometimes d*ck head comments make sense. #notreallybutkindof.

I’ve been getting some weird comments lately. Lots of mean ones. It’s so strange to me that people have nothing better to do than say mean things over comments. Not even about my recipes, just me. Which is strange to me. I’m just not a super mean person, or angry, and I only dislike a total of probably 3 people in this world, so it’s very weird when people have such built up aggression towards someone they don’t even know. But they keep commenting. And I keep deleting their comments. No need for anger on my blog. I like happy things. Like unicorns and butterflies.

You know what makes me real happy? I installed my window air conditioning unit in my room the other day. When you walk into my room, it changes by 20 degrees. 20 freaking degrees. It’s ridiculous how much of a difference it makes. I mean, my room is the size of a water closet, whatever that means, so a window unit makes a huge difference. I sleep like an infant now. A good infant.

So I literally had nothing to eat yesterday. Nothing. I haven’t really been grocery shopping since I’ve been traveling so I just eat out of my freezer now. So that means lots of beef. I really only have beef in my freezer so I’ll be eating that for a while. And since I had canned tomatoes and green chiles, I decided it was a mexican salad and easy guacamole kind of day. Is this boring? No. It’s delicious. Is this creative? Absolutely not. Would this be good with lettuce? Hell yeah! I just had none. I should just go to the store.

    What goes around comes around, so whoever has been mean and writing negative posts will feel the negative effects at some point in their life. Your hilarious and an inspiration to more than you realize. Keep on being yourself and doing what you love because your fans are routing you on!

    I can’t believe people have been mean to you! I’m so sorry! It’s so stupid too; don’t like what you see, visit another website! Ugh! Well, I love your website and your view on life; you always make me laugh. I just found you recently and am loving the recipes! My husband will love this one. 🙂

  3. Diane says:

    You are honest, real and raw. Unfortunately some people can’t handle that. I love your recipes and take on the world. I laugh at your posts because you are funny, you enlighten my day. Keep it up girl!

    OMG I am getting my roots done next Saturday and they’re pretty bad, but honestly just don’t care right now. Too many other things on the brain…And yes I don’t understand why miserable unhappy people need to comment on things like that. They should work on themselves first. Just saying…

    Heard a good quote once: “Hurting people hurt people”. Clearly your popularity and newly infamous(I’m enthusiastic about this part!)Paleo cookbook prove haters wrong about you without any words needed! You totally tear it up in the gym and make me laugh uncontrollably reading your blog so move past those that want what you have, girl. You don’t need us to tell you you’re loved and great. (But we will if it helps you!) 🙂

    Juli – Thanks for the recipes and the entertainment. Don’t let the mean ones pull you down – you are awesome!

  7. Holly says:

    Mean peeps are just jealous of your awesomeness! I’m not even a follower of the paleo life but I love your blog because of you! Keep pursuing your passion and ignore the critics. You rock!

    Hey, I had one of those hair days yesterday -you know, where all you can see is the roots. Ack. I couldn’t take it anymore, so after work I went straight to my hairdresser. Today is a better day solely because I have my dark hair back.

    Also, you’re gorgeous. Seriously. Anyone who would say that to you is nasty and jealous.

    Thanks for tonight’s dinner recipe! Your blog encourages me to stay paleoish because it’s delicious, interesting, and a lot less intimidating than I thought. I love your outlook on diet and life.

  9. Alexis Russell says:

    So I totally used to make something similar to this (but even lazier) by frying up some ground beef and then mixing it with a Newman’s Own garden salsa and deeming it “Taco Stir Fry”. Yours sounds way tastier and I might to just have to add it to the regular Taco Tuesday rotation.

    Also the term you’re looking for is “Sleep like a husband”. If the world is your oyster and you could probably stay in bed all day if left to your own devices, you’re probably sleeping like a husband. 😉

    Love your recipes!!! Look forward to your mails in the week! Can’t imagine weird mean people, anyway, ordered your book on Amazon and the other paleo book you recommended in your last post, due to arrive in August! Super excited! ! Can’t wait!♥♥!
