Ponderings

Oh- and Hey --- I need some ideas.  I've set a challenge for myself ........... to do a random act of kindness for each year of my life.  52 random acts.  I need help coming up with random ideas.  Someone mentioned putting moola inside books at a book store with a note saying GOD is with you ALWAYS (or some such thing), so when someone buys one.... They'll feel the love --- randomly.  And I am pretty much an expert at random behavior, random thoughts... so why not Random Acts and make them of the kindness variety!  If you don't help me... I'll spend my life in a bookstore with 52 $1 bills and be going insane...........  :)  Won't be the first time.  ... for the insanity... but -well... you know...

Wait... I think I did one yesterday.  Saw an older lady walking across the parking lot looking really out of it.  I smiled at her.  She just stared at me like I was a weirdo.  I just held the smile (partly cause I felt like a weirdo, since she was giving me that look.) and before I had fully passed her.... she smiled back.  A genuine smile... with her eyes all into it and everything.  She looked happy.  Only for a moment maybe.  But moments count, eh?   One down and 51 to go!!!   Hey - if you guys want to join in................   Please DO, and let me know what all you did.  Even if you don't get to 50 or whatever.... it's a start, eh???

Happy Monday All!!!

Some interesting Finds...

I read about a website called Onesentence.org  You submit a SHORT story. One sentence long.  Now, for me... that would be QUITE the challenge.  Say it ALL, in one sentence.  Oprah had a dealy once (I think it was her) and you had to sum up who you are in 3 (or maybe it was 5) words.   Things like that make you really think hard.  And thinking hard keeps your mind from seizing up.  So do it.  Tell me your sentences, please.  I'd love it!! 

Also... Seems that there is a scale out there somewhere... I'll look it up for you in minute...  Called the Quantum Scale.  It  shows pounds lost instead of current weight.  Positive reinforcement.  Cool idea!!!    Ok, I looked it up.  They do have them on Amazon...  $59.  Seems to have good and bad reviews.  Only tracks the weight loss/gain for One person.  So it wouldn't be  good for a group effort.  That is sort of a negative in my opinion.  But anyway... check it out for yourself.  And if anyone does get one... let me know how it goes, eh?


Have a super weekend...

Ya'll have a Happy Mother's Day tomorrow.  Even if ya aint a mom.  If you're a Pop... well, you can still have a nice day, eh?  And if you are a pet owner.... You ARE a mom.  Or pop!!!   (◠‿◠)

Catch up stuff

I just noticed that I never put a title on my posts.  Didn't even see that option up there.  Well, I shall have to be more observant in the future.

I'm trying to be all serious today.  Lets see how that works out. 

I wanted to let you know... Lemon water... You definitely CAN over-do it.  I put so much lemon in my last batch of juice... my lips are in a permanent pucker.  I kid you not.  That was potent!!

Finally bought some Kefir.  I forget how that is pronounced.  But it is not how you would think.  Kinda like pronouncing other words, like - Quinoa.  WHO does this to us?  Life is rough enough!  Go ahead and watch Gallagher... the watermelon smashing comedian...  he talks about how weird words are.  "Two... WHO decided to put a W in Two?  Now, 'One' has a W sound, but has no W in it.  "One" NEEDS the W that they put in the Two.  What is going on???"   Or something like that.  He is very sensible... and funny!  Check him out...
But back to Kefir.  Kefir is spoiled milk.  I mean... it just is... I think.  It tastes like it.  But it is SUPPOSED to taste that way, so it's ok.  (insert blank stare here....)  I was reading on the label to see what you are suppose to do with it.  All I know is "they" say it is good for you and Lord knows that I have to try Anything that "they" say is good for you.  So the label says to use it like you would regular milk.  Use it for Anything...   So I put some in my coffee.  It made it taste... Odd.  But I think I like it.  I'll try it again tomorrow and see what I think. 

I also got me some WHOLE flaxseeds.  I already have a whole bag of flaxseed meal mind you.  But I had to try some fresh ground flax.  Dumped some in my Magic Bullet blender thingy.  Do you have one of those?  Pretty cool gadget.  It lasted about 12 years, then broke, so Chip fixed it for me.  He's good at that stuff!!!   So I ground up my seeds.  THAT is a very cool thing to do.  Try it.  Fun!!  I'm easily amused though.  But I am thinking that Flax is so good for you that you can quit taking Fish Oil supplements if you do the flax thing.  I've been doing both.  But I could be overly oiled now.  Maybe THAT is my problem.  Well, among my many problems...    (>‿♥)


Ok.  I gotta get on with my day.  So much to do.   But I wanted to pop back in.  I'm gonna try to get better about this.... I KNOW I said that before.   I do try...........  Just that there are SOOO many things to try to squeeze into such a short day.  And I just don't know how people who watch TV manage to fit everything else in.  I watch it some... but mostly I forget about it cause I'm sooo trying to finish everything I have to do.........................   Like I gotta get my Barbie's and their clothes (from the 60's) on ebay cause I saw a lot, smaller than mine, sell for $800!!!   I paid $5 for mine at a yard sale.  Cause I never had a Barbie as a child and I always wanted one.  So I got this group.  I was so happy to have them.  They even have their suitcase closet thingies.... BUT when I saw that auction out there... well, Adios Barbies... mama needs new shoes!  Or new tires or something....   Yeah!  So - I gotta get them on there and I gotta finish my garden.  And I gotta go help Rita with her garden. And I gotta............do  A BUNCH.  So I'm outta here.  You have a GREAT Day, 'kay???!!!!    ♥
