The silence is welcomed...

It is nice to wake to the sound of birds and nothing else! It is a very blessed day. No air blowers; no fighter jets flying by; no green-harvest helicopters scoping out the mountainside; no sanders or bandsaws; no lawn mowers; just NOTHING. ***sigh***

I do admit that I often fill my days with noise; music, tv, the computer. But rising to this calm and quiet environment is simply heavenly. ***sigh***

Yesterday, I had minimal obligations:
I checked my email and posted some work.
Returned my book at the library on time (no late fees this time!).
Got ready to meet a friend.
Had a pedicure & a mini foot massage.
Had a haircut & a mini head massage.
Ate meat.
Came home and watched last nights True Blood episode.

***sigh***
What a fabulous day! I feel ready for my cleanse (which I'm about to start in a week.)

Today...well, after assessing my workload again, I will have another relaxing and stress-free day! No real agenda, but I would like to get some things done like:
Wash my bedding.
Finish that DVD project for my cousin (I'm so behind on this one!).
Research the best e-reader to purchase.
Finish that healthcare paperwork.
Bake in the sun.

Yup, sounds like another blissful day. Thank you!

I.....WANT........COOKIE!

I've been such the Cookie Monster these past few days! Cookie-Brownie combo..my new discover. I've been thinking about making cookies for the past weeks but just was not compelled to really do it. My cousin made such a large batch and was trying to them out of her house.

If I took them, I knew I would eat them. My attempts to off-load them did not work! I ate...I ate...I ate. Chewy goodness! Mmmmmmmm Mmm!

I just could not resist them. My consequence was massive sugar overload and major bloating feelings. What was I thinking?

So good and yet so dangerous!

I know how bad this obssession is, but I now am left to try and tweak the recipe and add it to my collection....my thoughts return to one of my many dreams:

To own a cookie shop. Make some amazing cookies. Fatty ones too.

If I reduce the carbs, does it really get any better?

I wonder if I need to add cookie baker to my list of job experiences? I must continue this pursuit...

I must start my cleanse!!!!

Take responsibility and stop talking out of your arse!

I notice that people like to spew motivational comments when they are unable to practice what they preach. Hypocrites! Talk the truth and stop talking out of your ass! You look like a fool, lose all credibility, and lose any respect I may have had for you. My expectation of general goodness is lost on those who just can not manage to be honest. What is there to hide?

If you have something to say, make sure that you actually believe what is being said. Talking shit only enforces your idiocracy and lunacy!

There will be setbacks and false starts . . . block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand . . ."
