ok, so it's been quite a while since I've been gluten and soy free. Well...soy is a bit harder to avoid, as I have found that it's in nearly everything. I was addicted to gum, and now i MIGHT have 1 piece every two days, and it's a specialty gum I found at World Market, no soy lecithin! that's pretty good when I was chewing about a pack a day! Everyone was teasing me that with my pack-a-day habit, i could make even the most dedicated smokers out there, proud! you know me! I like to do my part!

So, how do I feel now that i'm strictly consuming fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs and non-processed meat, only? well, I hate to sound cliche, but I feel like a new woman! I don't have digestive issues like before. I notice a marked improvement in my health. Not that I ate alot of processed foods, but I did like certain things, like low-carb tortillas! Now, I refuse to touch anything that's been processed or contains more than 8-10 ingredients. It's not hard to do. I even found that there's a whole variety of snack foods that are natural and wholesome, like rice puffed white cheddar snacks...tastes like cheese puffs, only natural!

ok, that's the boring stuff! on the good side, i'm DECORATING THE HOUSE FOR AUTUMN! Soon everywhere you look will be bathed in beautiful fall colors, and the cool mornings will begin to take hold! I'm excited!

what are you up to? shall I go and scribble on your journal and bring smiles to your faces? OK! DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!!

Hi Everyone! I'm just checking in to see how you're all doing and if you miss me! I KNOW YOU DO!!! LOL

08WILLBEGREAT is visiting me (DRIVING ME RAMPANT, ACTUALLY!) right now, which is why I'm not keeping up too well on the journaling! the great news is that have not tried to strangle her at all! She really has the right idea for a vacation! You should hear what she says to me! "FEED ME, I'M HUNGRY! DO MY LAUNDRY! CAN YOU GET ME A NAPKIN? WHERE DOES THIS GO? CAN YOU PUT IT THERE FOR ME?

So, then on our agenda I planned to teach her how to swim in my pool. It was lots of trial and error before she found her sea legs! I don't think we ever had more fun! We had lots of laughs, mostly at her being so exxaggerative!! She was so sure she was going to drown in 2 feet of water, that she kept reminding anyone that would listen, about how she was about to drown!! After she proved that she could stand successfully in 2 feet of water, I felt it was safe enough to lie on the edge of the pool in the sun and just watch her learn her baby steps, and for my good deed, I GOT A SUNBURN! so now i'm walking around looking like Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer!

we fight just like sisters, and my hubby seems appalled half the time by what I say to her in self defense! He NEVER hears what she says to me, for God's sake!) NO FAIR!!

So while I'm grounded for my bad behavior, she's over there sneering at me!

SERIOUSLY....we have had tons of fun! we've done lots of things so far, like out to dinner, bowling, swimming, biking, shopping, drinking, dancing...and there's still alot more to come! WE are going wine tasting, having a house party on Saturday, golfing, movies, date night with my hubby, more shopping in a quaint little town nearby...and what else? um...can't think!

Sup buddies?

I'm looking forward to the weekend! Is it here yet? How about you wake me when it arrives? I'm getting pretty tired of getting up every day just to get my butt kicked with all the things I have to do in one day!
There should be a law against getting sucked into this vortex of neverending work, dude!

Now ya'll KNOW HOW I HATE TO COMPLAIN...hee hee...but I'm starting to think my nursery is out to get me! I had nightmares for several nights in a row about the trees needing my care and attention (THIS IS A TRUE STORY! YOU KNOW HOW I LOATHE BEING SERIOUS AND MUSHY, BUT I JUST GOTTA SHARE THIS! SO WHY DON'T YOU SIT UP AND PAY ATTENTION FOR ONCE!)

ok...so these nightmares haunted me, left me thinking that i was just stressing out about how much work there is to do. Didn't think much more about it that that. However, SOMETHING called to me constantly, and it was worse when I'd go to sleep every night. Eventually the feeling became more like dread. Of course it was beginning to weigh me down, so I ventured out to the nursery looked around. I didn't see much, but I decided to strap on my belt which is loaded wtih equipment to handle just about any situation I might encounter, and I began my walk down each row. Nothing out of the ordinary popped out...until I was about 3/4 done with my inspection. That's when I came upon 8 rows of redwood trees that hadn't had water in over 4 weeks! We had a really strong wind and the wind wires that support them toppled over and got destroyed under the weight of these trees (each weighs about 80 lbs and we're talking 280 trees!). When the workers went out there to pick up the trees, they didn't check to see if their water supply was intact. A HUGELY NEGLECTFUL MOVE ON THEIR PART CONSIDERING IT'S COMMON SENSE TO CHECK SOMETHING AS OBVIOUS AS THAT!

I could have cried to see how they were struggling in this Cali heat just to stay alive! If it were a hospital, they would be considered critical! I've been their mommy since they were little saplings 3 years ago and now they were struggling just to live!

So now I'm telling you all, be KIND to your trees and plants! They really are alive, they give us the air we breathe, as well as help to filter out the pollution from the air, so do your part and FEED, WATER AND PROTECT THEM! :)

thank you...my speech is over!

it wasn't intended to be a speech...I was just telling you that the trees came to find me in my dreams, which is eerie dontcha think?

MUAH!
