Thises and Thatz

Mandolins hurt if you’re not careful! Especially the less sophisticated, less expensive ones. Case in point:

Have you ever wondered how kids get food in strange places (i.e. elbow crease or back of their neck, etc)? Well, that was ME today. Some of my lunch was on my forehead! How in the world did I get food there and not know it?!?!?! Good thing I wasn’t in public at the time.

Small zucchinis don’t make very good chips. Ha ha! The flavor is good but they are so stinkin small! And they only get smaller when dried. I don’t really care though because I was just looking for a way to use the rest of them up.

It’s spring now, which means it’s time for some wacky weather. We’ve been having a little bit of that but I love it anyway. Everyday there’s more evidence of new life. And seeing the cherry blossoms and magnolia trees in bloom makes me very happy. We might live in the Evergreen State but it sure is nice seeing color again.

I chuckle every time I go past our outdoor community pool and see a duck family hanging out or just taking a swim, floatin’ about. It’s their home until the kids take over for the summer. I just find ducks to be cute and even cuter when at a pool. I don’t blame them though…the pool is much better than where most of their friends and family live at the local slough (stinky).

It’s been an interesting weekend so far. The CEO of my company surprised us all with a day off on Good Friday (love 3-day weekends!). Hubby though has been busy both Friday and Saturday so I’ve been kinda bored. It was great at first because I was able to lounge around, do some cleaning, do some (un)cooking and of course, catch up with all my new blog friends but now that that is all done…now what? Everybody, stop what you’re doing and put up new posts on each of your blogs right now!!

Seen any good movies lately?

Some random things spotted at my desk at home: a rainbow slinky, a poodle pen with its own dog house,

worry dolls from Guatemala, a red and white hand painted ceramic dish, and an empty handmade bubble gum machine made of wood (this is actually hubby’s). Oh and a tri-fold picture frame meant for nine photos that still has “fake” photos in it. Nice. What’s at your desk?

Well, I think this post has officially gone nowhere and you’re probably bored, possibly slumped over your keyboard so I’ll stop now. Hubby will be home soon. Good thing huh?

Thanks for your patience. HAPPY EASTER!

...and happy Easter to you too, sis!

It's kinda weird how we're growing up and having these things on our own, isn't it?

I was just thinking about that the other day- how intertwined you and I used to be (I still will raise my hand in court and say it was healthy!), and how we're now still each other's support system- but in a very different and less intertwined way.

Do you think our husbands have taken each other's place?

OK- this totally went off on a wild tangent, but it's been on my mind.

Love you to pieces,
Sis

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
