Meme: Brought to You By the Numbers 3 and 4

I snagged this from my SIL’s blog. It looked harmless enough until it caused me to think! ;)

Four things I'm looking forward to this year:
*Going to the chapel to see my nephew and his fiancée get married! (that line doesn't work into a song like I had hoped)
*Harvesting our garden
*Visiting family out of state
*Seeing my sister!

Four joys in my life:
*My family
*Garden
*Photography (new hobby as of late)
*Making new friends

Four movies I've watched more than once or twice:
*The Matrix Trilogy
*V for Vendetta
*Little Miss Sunshine
*The Wedding Singer (I’m not ashamed to admit it – ha ha!)

Three fears:
*Fear of the unknown/uncertainty/instability
*Family getting hurt (same as my SIL)
*Chopping off a finger (gotta be careful with those knives!)

Four favorite foods:
*Anything with avocadoes, especially homemade guacamole
*Strawberries
*Coocoonuts (I'm cuckoo for coocoonuts!)
*Everything else that doesn’t include foods I don’t like – cop out? Okay, how about my fave at the moment then, watermelon

Three goals I've set for myself:
*Reach the weight I was at when hubby and I first started dating
*Finish reading the book “Wicked” (it's taking me forever!)
*Organize my huge pile of papers

Four TV shows I watch:
*Survivor
*America’s Next Top Model
*Amazing Race
*What Not to Wear (and so many others, depending when they’re on)

Three current obssessions:
*Sunshine
*Watermelon
*Gardening

Four places I've visited:
*Tijuana (I saw a mule painted as a zebra – LOL)
*Victoria, BC
*Vancouver, BC
*Las Vegas (I really need to get out more)

Three places I'd like to visit:
*Spain
*Italy
*England
*Mexico (oh whoops, that’s four – oh well – be lucky I stopped there!)

Four random facts about me:
*I’m left handed (must be in my right mind…har har har)
*I’m the youngest of four
*I like to get crafty and artsy from time to time
*Not a fan of public speaking (maybe I should’ve put that as a fear)

Four embarrassing facts:
*Learned about Ash Wednesday the hard way (foot in mouth...).
*Tripping/falling – in fact I did this at the garden the other day and yes, someone saw me! "Hey, are you okay?" Uh, yeah, just bruised my ego is all.
*This is part embarrassing and part stupidity but I cut my hand in between my fingers with scissors while cutting up a credit card. Required four stitches. Nice.
*As a teenager got caught toilet papering a cute boy’s house

People I tag:
*You!

notsomuch spellbinding, just a comment.
I cut my finger with a scissors like that once, but no stitches. OWWWW

I too am afraid of cutting my finger with knives. I used to dream about that and wake myself up. I used to daydream about that too. Just suddenly I would see myself cutting me. It always scared me.

I guess it is the thing to do when you see someone fall, call out if they are OK. But it sure is embarrassing for the faller. Still is better than everyone walking past and ignoring you.

I sure love telling the story about when you cut yourself while cutting up a credit card!

I think you'd have to work very hard to trip and fall more than I do. Don't try though....

Heidi! I'm afraid of cutting my finger off too. I'm a pianist, so that is like one of my biggest fears. LOL!

I learned a lot about you in this meme! Thank you for sharing. :) You sound like a lovely person and I wish I knew you IRL!

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

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

The "Glow"

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
