Hey, it's ok Tuesday . . .

Playing along with Airing My Dirty Laundry she . . . got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your blog. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either. Just make sure you link up (with her at Airing My Dirty Laundry ) and that the post you link up is a Hey, It's Okay Post. *************************************************************** To be really excited to start watching Big Brother. Enough so that I actually tried talking my boss in to not scheduling me for closing shifts on those nights. (no it didn't work) To be loving the summer months, even though during the day it is a bit hot in the house and out. To realize I do love to wear dresses at work. WOW, imagine that. They are cooler, lighter and easier to deal with. To know that even though I really, really, really want a dog, now is just not the time. To want to rent an RV and...

Please explain wth. . .

I could tell I was completely and utterly tired. Way too tired to run any errands. Yet, I still did. I did the best I could to keep pushing myself back to the front of the store so I could leave, instead of wander aimlessly around the store til I keeled over from tiredness. (you know how that is right? I always wander forever in stores when my brain is done) Finally, made it to the cashier. Right next to my credit card is a coupon for 5% off. As I pull out my card, she sees the coupon. Cashier: Did you want me to scan that? Me: No, it's only a $6 purchase. I don't want to use it today. C: But you can use it all day. Me: No I won't be back today. (it's after 7pm) C: But you can use it over and over again all day. Me: I really won't be back today. C: But you can continuously use it in a 24 hr period. Me: (pause and breath) I really will not be back today or tomorrow, so no. C: But . . . and she walks away making noises like I am stupid. Is it me? Really? Is it me? WHY...

To blog or not to blog

So as you have probably noticed, I haven't been blogging much. I am not sure why. I would like to say that life itself has taken over. I am happy and full, but then I feel that means my blog is just a way to console myself and I hate that thought. I have been busy. I am working out, hiking, reading, making healthy food at home, planning vacations, visiting family and friends. Life has been beyond good. I mean it is so stinking gorgeous outside and I cannot stand to be inside or not right next to an open window. My need to be out in the wilderness with nature is like a virus. At work we have been having employee appreciation week, so we have been wearing jeans to work! Holy cow, jeans! I love jeans. They are seriously more comfy that pjs for me. It couldn't get better than being able to wear jeans to work everyday. I feel good. Things are very good at work. I feel confident and I feel like I know what I am doing. I love that I am getting used to being my wacky self. I am so weir...

Wordless Wednesday - Claire Thomas from Food for Thought

I got this recipe from Claire Thomas who hosts the TV Show Food for Thought . She is the cutest, sweetest and so far my favorite tv chef. Her recipes are so easy and she seems to have a talent for making every recipe seem doable. I actually set my alarm on Saturday mornings to get up in time to see her show (when I am not working). This past week, she featured her Australian Pasta which you should really visit her blog and read the back story to why it is named this. Funny!! I also got a wild hair and decided to make her Cream Scones . Here is the pasta sauce while it is simmering. Here is the final dish. Australian Pasta with strawberries (just finished cutting them for the week's snacks, so I threw a few in) and her scones (bc I didn't make bread). Also, Claire if you are reading this, QUESTION - On your blog recipe, you didn't specify searing the sausage and taking them out of the pan while the onions and garlic cook. But in your show, I distinctly remember you keeping t...

90% Raw

I have been working on going raw for over a week now. Seems minimal, but I feel pretty good. So far. I did experience a HUGE day of food withdrawal. Sadly it was at work. LOL My poor boss. I lost it before lunch knowing I was going to have to eat my healthy lunch and all I wanted was crap. It was horrible. I was literally nuts for 20 minutes. Him pushing me to eat crap is what helped me choose to eat my healthy lunch. Ironic, huh? About two hours later, I felt the relief of normal again . (well semi-normal) So far I have struggled the most with making my lunch for work. I have to start making it the night before because I keep hitting snooze til I am running late. Damn. I have to get to sleep earlier. I am trying to leave leftovers in an easy to sort out container that I can just grab and go. My favorite part is grocery shopping. lol And enjoying my meals once I sit down. I am realizing that I am eating much slower and really tasting my food. I still read while I eat, but I notice I am...

Review - Crushed by KC Blake

Title: Crushed The Witch-Game #1 Author: K.C. Blake Publisher: Createspace Publish Date: July 30, 2011 Paperback, 262 pages GoodReads Barnes and Noble (Nookbook $2.99) Amazon I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but it was on sale, it had some pretty good reviews amongst the blog world, so I thought I'd give it a go. Oddly enough, it was lots of fun. I really enjoyed it. These girls have a game they play every year. They pick boys that they can "crush" which equates to blowing witch dust on them and controlling them. They make fun of them, they play tricks on them and basically make them their slaves. It is cruel, but they don't seem to realize. Until they crush the wrong guy. Zach is a boy with special powers as well. But how long will Kristen try to play with him before he unleashes his fury? Summary - The Noah sisters rule Titan High with their beauty, brains, and magical powers. Each year they play a secret game: Crushed. The girls pick their ...
