That maybe a bit dramatic. More like pimples on my tongue caused by overripe strawberries. I'd been drinking strawberry, mango, peach, and pineapple smoothies with pomengrante juice for 2 days in a row in leui of breakfast. I hope livestrong.com is right about how the acid in strawberries cause that condition. I don't think all people get those ( Read more... )

Ok so technically it isn't summer yet but it may as well be with these temperatures. I found a new napping spot: the swing on our front porch. I did some yard work this morning. Afterwards, I ate a delicious club sandwich and sat on the front porch to read. But my eyelids were so heavy that I decided to just rest them a little bit. Never say "I'm ( Read more... )

Today after work I went outside to do some yard work. I figured it was time to get rid of all those old leaves that we use as a blanket over the roots of our giant tree. As I'm working, I look up and lo and behold! The tree is sprouting flowers! That means there will soon be a white blanket of fallen flower petals as the leaves burst forth out from ( Read more... )

I have 3 large loads of clothes to wash but, of course, no clothes detergent. I imagine my dad used the last of it or he was disappointed to open the cupboard and find none himself. So tomorrow I'm trying to decide if I'm going to walk up to the store to buy some or do my normal walk around the neighborhood with my dog and then drive to a store. ( Read more... )

So I accomplished my goal and went jogging for 2 miles. It was drizzling a little bit but I didn't let that stop me. I ran really hard. Probably too hard after such a long hiatus because I felt sick afterwards. But after I recovered I felt so good! All that stress was at minimal levels ( Read more... )

I plan to get up in the morning and do a 2 mile jog to see if that lightens my mood. I've been going on a downhill slope lately. I think I know what it is but that doesn't mean I have to submit to the emotional turmoil it unleashes on me every month. I'm just so angry! Today I wanted to punch every single person who kept asking me "Why are you so ( Read more... )

So for the past few weeks I've seen kids outside!! I know that may not sound like much. However, in the society we live in today with all the gaming consoles, internet and television and God knows what other entertainment indoors, I find that to be pretty impressive. In fact, they are all on bikes or roller skates! I can't roller skate. I wish I ( Read more... )

So the new holiday season will be starting soon after Halloween. I'm excited!! For one, my brother is coming home for the Christmas holidays and what a coincidence we have a tree this year!!! I have no idea where we'll put it but the point is we have a tree!! I feel like a little kid getting all excited and such. Second, my baking shall commence!! ( Read more... )

I'm still trying to work on my minimalist lifestyle. It's getting harder and harder to throw stuff out as I give/throw more and more away. I've finally decided I'm going to just get rid of this giant mirror dresser I have in my bedroom. I already have a night stand and a regular chest of drawers. If I can get rid of the dresser/mirror combo, I'd ( Read more... )
