If I Were a Boy…

Actually, that title has nothing to do with this post…well, not much - but I was thinking a lot about my feminine sensibilities this weekend so….

The reason I was pondering how “girlie” I am is because of a little game I played whilst in the Lone Star State….a very “docile” version of football - touch football…I mean, how bad could it be, my opponents included my 8 year old son and my niece who weighs all of 60 lbs…maybe. Anyway, after injury #3 and after hearing my children beg me to stop “trying to play”, I sat - with ice on both knees thinking:  What has happened to me?  Have I always been so girlie…so un-butch!! There’s a video out there somewhere…maybe I’ll play it for you sometime - after my dignity has returned just enough to be destroyed once more…….

But, back to my real post….

So, I’m “detoxing” today - trying to recuperate from the 24 hours I spent in the car over the past 3 days……..and all the “fast food” that goes along with that amount of traveling.

My detox plan includes:

  • lots of water (should be easiest…but hardest for me - I only like water when it has 3 or 4 shots of espresso in it!….I’m just sayin’)
  • “Living Fuel” - yes, the dreaded living fuel (also called “living hell” in this house).  Apparently, this stuff contains all the nutrients a person needs for a day….or even a few days - it even has things you can’t get anywhere else except for “mother’s milk”…..It also removes your appetite……the hard way! ;-) Just kidding, it’s really not that bad………
  • trying to eat “real” things.…just made a sandwich out of “Ezekiel Bread” (with sprouted/live grains), cut up avocado, beautiful organic tomato and some pickles….(high in sodium, but Hey, I’ve gone without my Starbucks so back off, Barbie!)
  • organic green tea with agave nectar……if you haven’t tried this stuff (agave nectar) as a sugar substitute, you absolutely must!!!

So, that’s what I’m doing today…

…along with lots of laundry - oh, and I received another shipment of my beautiful ingredients for my new primarily organic/vegan skin care products for my business I hope to launch by August.

By the way, if you’re struggling with headaches - like maybe you’re in detox hell and you have been mercilessly deprived of your true love: deep, dark espresso blended with luscious cream and wonderful sugars and flavoring…topped with whipped cream and cinnamon shavings……….

where was I….oh yeah, if you’re struggling with headaches, try placing some peppermint essential oil on your pulse points at your wrists and below your ears…..breathe in deeply….

It won’t take them away, but does help to make things more bearable - plus, peppermint is supposed to increase cognitive functioning…or something like that….blah-de-blah-blah………..

Forgive me, I’m a little moody today….

…where’s my peppermint oil!!!???……ooh, now I just want a peppermint latte - you know, like you get at Christmas time…..ooh, Christmas time…..now I want…….CAKE!

But, I digress…

Have a lovely day - and if you see me out and about today, you may just want to walk a big circle around me…at least until my detox is accomplished…

…I’m just sayin’.

Now to go “Google” some kind of class where they can help me with my excessive “girlie-ness”….

Peace.

Just So Ya Know…

I’m still on my Blackberry, so this might take me awhile…

Here’s a few of my thoughts(pros ‘n cons) from the morning:

#1 - “Getting my fix”:
CON:
Since riding a Harley and drinking coffee doesn’t mix well - a person must try to guzzle a steaming latte in 8.5 minutes or less - without losing all of her tastebuds through a horrific burning incident…

PRO:
A “Triple Tall - 3 Splenda Latte is easier to drink fast, costs less and contains the same amount of caffeine as my usual “Triple Venti”…as to the burning part - well, let’s just say I won’t be tasting anything for the foreseeable future…

#2 - “Beethoven Biker”:

PRO:
Byron, having pity on me because of my said burnt tongue asked what kind of music I would prefer while riding the bike - I said “classical” - he, being sweet, obliged…classical violin concerto ensued…

CON:
Being unfamiliar with this bike, we had to sit @ 2 different intersections, serenaded by violins…on a Harley…in Texas!!!

#3 - “Cowboy Harley”:

PRO:
75 mph on bike feels like 100 mph in a car…

CON:
80 mph on a bike feels like 150…on a bicycle!!

#4 - “Rude Awakening”:
PRO:
Southeast Texas is full of wide open spaces, so one can really ride…FAST!

CON:
Because of the heat and storms, Southeast Texas is ALSO full of road-work…and POTHOLES!!

#5 - “…and I will speak of it!”:

CON:
When one hits a pothole on a bike @ excessive rates of speed - and “one’s” blonde wife already has a hyrniated spine - one will not hear the end of it!

PRO:
When said blonde speaks of it - and she will speak of it! - she will sound like a really cool “biker chic” talking about her motorcycle “injury”!

And, now I can add carpel tunnel syndrome to my list for the day from typing this blog on my Blackberry…with my darn “Bon Qui Qui” nails…

So…

Peace to the out!

Blonde Blackberry Blogging…

…so,
How long does it take for a blonde to figure out how to blog on a pink blackberry with a zebra print cover (and, thus it being blonde also - obviously!)…?
Basically I’m just typing to keep my mind occupied until we can find a Starbuck - and since I’m averaging about a word per mile (darn these “Bon Qui Qui” nails!!!), I should be okay…
OH NO!!!…we’re now entering a deluge-like storm!…
Don’t the metereorolgists here in Alabama know I neeeeed a Starbuck!!??….
…Oh yeah, and I guess it’s pretty dangerous to be driving in this too.
Oh well, ya’ll pray for us!
Btw, the rain goes very well with some Kim Walker, Kristene Mueller and Misty Edwards…
So, I guess It’s all good!

Peace.
