Last days of my 30 day cleanse!!
Sorry there are no pictures my daughter left her camera at a friends house. Day 22- I am feeling much better- I didn’t eat much today an apple and some raspberries. Hubby make me guacamole with cucumbers and a few olives. It takes me two hours to eat it all my tummy has shrunk and it still delicate. Day 23- Tummy hurt this morning, I only drank juice until it was almost time to go to work. I am sick of this stomach thing. Day 24- Didn’t sleep well, tummy still hurts in the am, I don’t want to...
How Have You Changed Since the Games?
I just finished reading the Hunger Games trilogy. This was an amazing set of books. I laughed, cried, become enraged, and was completely drawn into Katnis’ world. That being said, I don’t know that I liked these books. They are brutal to read, and I personally like my fiction happier. I know life isn’t; hello, I care for kids removed from their homes by CPS. I know life sucks and people are horrid. I can see how the Hunger Games is a reflection of our world and culture and a warning of where...
A habit to change or accepting it’s who I am?
We all have things we would like to change about ourselves. If you’re anything like me you have a long list stained with tears of frustration and chocolate finger prints. But how do you tell the difference between a bad habit that you need to change and accepting this is simply part of who you are? Let me give you an example. When I am doing something new and scary I hide. Not like curled in the closet under blankets, but I don’t go out, I don’t answer the phone, and I spend as much time...
Dhoom 2
Because I have been sick I am re-posting my first Foreign Film Friday Dhoom 2. This is a Bollywood movie- so there is singing and dancing, beautiful outfits, many costumes changes, and the sudden use of English slang in the middle of the Hindi. Dhoom 2 is full of action and music. The actors are fabulous Hirithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachan, Aishwarya Rai, Uday Chopra, and Bipasha Basu. The songs are great- my daughter bought the CD, and the dancing amazing. I had ten kids- most of who can’t read...
Popcorn, Ninjas, and Ginger Calem
Today the lovely and inspiring Ginger Calem is going me today! California Girl turned Texas Woman. Wife to one Superhero. Mom to three pieces of her heart. When she’s not keeping the house-natives happy and fed, Ginger can be found at her CrossFit gym or at her desk, writing about the characters clamoring in her head. Her favorite things are wakeboarding on long, summer lake days out in the boat, anything that causes spontaneous laughter, and living room dinners of sushi and wine. 1- We all...
Week three of the crazy cleanse.
I am sorry my posts have been so hit and miss, as you can see crazy invaded my life and I was not prepared. Hopefully it will all be settled soon. On with the fun! Day 15- This is you’re warning, I have started my moon (period), so this week will be full of whining bitching and probably TMI. I’m feeling okay, actually I’m kind of proud I’m not craving anything bad for me. Maybe this won’t be so bad. Maybe I’ve done enough cleansing that I won’t have a rough time. Day 16- My body hurts, my mind...
A Some What Gentle Man
A Some What Gentle Man This is a Norwegian dark comedy. I’m a bit picky about my dark comedies, they need to be more funny then dark, I don’t like watching people being horrid to one another. Anyway, back to the movie. Ulirk has just been released from prison, he was there for 12 years and all he wants now is to smoke a cigarette and eat a nice meal, but no one will let him. He’s constantly interrupted, poor Ulrik. The only person he wants to talk to isn’t sure he wants to be around him. And...
Mad ramblings from the second week of a cleanse.
Day 8- When they say sleep is important, especially if you are working towards a healthier lifestyle they mean it. This morning it was very difficult to keep to my fruit cleanse. I wanted fast carbs- white flour and sugar like crazy. Got all the kids off to school, then slept. I feel better now, but I’m still groggy and I can feel that my patience isn’t as high as I need it to be for work. I will breath, smile, and remind myself that this is temporary. I got a new kid tonight, he seems nice,...
Were the World Mine
Were the World Mine is a sweet indie movie, about a young gay boy living in a small town. He is picked on and shunned by most of the boys in his all-boys school. Then Shakespeare comes along. The senior play is A Midsummer’s Nights Dream and magic happens. *girly sigh* I love the mom in this movie, she’s a normal, average woman who is trying to do right by her son, but is angry and resentful at all she’s had to give up.She’s human and hurting, and trying so hard. Anyway, it’s a lovely movie,...
Amazons, Jelly Beans, and Marcy Kennedy
The lovely and talented Marcy Kennedy stopped by to hang out today. Marcy Kennedy is a fantasy author who also works as a freelance writer for magazines, newspapers, and non-profits and a freelance editor for both businesses and individuals. Her current work-in-progress is a co-written historical fantasy about Amazons. When she’s not wrestling unruly commas, she spends her time with her equally nerdy husband, her Great Dane, and more cats than she’s willing to admit to in public. You can visit...
