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???!!!!    ♥

  2. You are so FUNNY! What a great way to wake up in the morning! You really think Kefir tastes like sour milk? I just drink it straight, or maybe with some original mini wheats. I have never tried it in my coffee... I think that would make it a bit chunkier than I would want my coffee.... I like the sour taste though, like in cheese cake, or sour cream or cottage cheese. So, from your writings, I am going to go out on a limb and say that you won't be drinking kefir on a regular basis...? At least you tried it!
    Loved your video! Your big chair was hilarious!! your hat and shirt were cool too! I didn't see your shoes until later... wonderful... and I know that you would wear that shirt around town!! maybe with both the Mister and the girls! haha! Got to go, last exam of the term today... :)
