Safe and Sane Holiday

Happy Memorial Day! I wish everyone a safe and sane Holiday. How are you spending it? I have recently decided to quit all chemicals for a year! This includes alcohol, medicine and over the counter medicine, so my holiday will be sane.
I made this decision for a few reasons but the main reason is I am tired of the market world, that insist that we can not have fun without booze and we can not feel better if you don't take this drug. I know there is a need for some people to take medicine, I am however, a perfectly healthy woman who is able to be medication and alcohol free, so the other day I decided to do it.
After making the oath to do this for a year, (there was no formal oath, I just said I as going to do it.) I thought I would count how many advertisements I saw in one day for alcohol and drugs. To my great surprise, I counted 36 from the time I woke up until I went to bed, this is amazing to me. We are so conditioned to take pills or have a drink that it has become a life style. Oh I have a headache, I'll take a pill or ugh today has been so tough I deserve a drink. Not for this green bunny! I am just as guilty of this lifestyle as anyone else. I too have succumbed to quick and easy fixes, that don't really fix anything. IT IS NOW TIME TO RISE UP AND TAKE CONTROL OF MY OWN BUNNY BUTT! Little too dramatic? You get the point. So four days ago I stopped any over the counter meds. (Just a note, I am not on doctor prescribed meds, so if you want to do the same and stop chemical and you are under a doctors care, please consult your doctor first.)It's been a lot longer since I have had alcohol, and I on a mission to find other methods for curing what is bothering me. This also includes figuring out why I am feeling the way I feel. For an example, if I have a headache, why? Am I drinking enough water? Am I not working through what's bothering me? Do I need to exercise more? Am I talking to myself too much? This does not work with bruising, scrapes, and cuts. If I have to question those, I need to go back to my oath of no alcohol.
Don't think I have forgotten about finding homemade items for health and beauty, this too is included in my bunny project. On a final note, I think part of being healthy physically, is also mentally, for this I am going out and being of service to my community, exercising of some sort EVERY day, and meditation. The latter is a bit of a challenge for me. Let's get started on this wild ride.

Here it is, my new article. I kind of like this one. I love the farmers market! There is nothing better than finding wonderful veggies some you know and better some you don't! I urge anyone lucky enough to have a farmers market near you, to make it part of your weekly routine, it will be well worth it, I promise, and if you don't like it than it really doesn't effect me. If you don't have one near you, make a special trip to one, I know your going to love.

10:30 am!

Here is what I tried so far! I had a healthy breakfast of berries and almond cream, yummo! Made a hair rinse of lime and kiwi, this by the way is the only way I will use kiwi! Blah, little fuzzy nasty thinks. And I am about to take a shower using chocolate sugar scrub!Did I post that recipe yet? Hmmmmm, aparnetly I have not found a recipe to help my memory. Oh well I will repost it tonight. It's soooo great. Off to a meeting at noon and I feel ready for it!

Rise and shine sunshine

I don't always know what to blog about. Today, I thought I had a great excuse not to blog. I am friggin tired! I am emotionally and physically exhaussted. I sat here freezing, because I thought it was too far to walk to turn up the heat. It took eight steps there and back. So yes, I have an excuse right? Wrong! I can always find an excuse, playing catch up is one of the reasons I am tired. Instead of making lists of why I can't, I found the reason I can.
I like to think the universe revolves around me, ask me tomorrow and I might say it does again. I can not be the only person who is feeling completely overwhelemed with everything in life. I am sure there is no magic cure for this, however there are natural remedies that I have read to eleviate some of the tiredness and stress in life.
During today, I am going to try a few out and blog later what worked and did not.
It's not alway's possible to take and entire Laurin day, however I am going to take a few hours to get my head back on and thinking clearly. I think this is the first remedy I am going to try. I am just not sure what that will include.
If you have any suggestions please post, I am willing, ok needing, any and all idea's!

If by some grace_________ insert your higher being, have a clear mind when you are older you are clearly responsible for your actions.

When you get older, so do you parents! When do you earn the right to be nasty and mean just because you are older! I don't think you doi!

WAy tired to day, did't sleep well. For the first time,we are having a family event and I am not cooking. Going to order take out. I did't even make gift baskets.
I am sure it won't kill me though.

I can not believe this weekend is over so soon! With the weeks activities being increasingly demanding, it's time to plan the week ahead. Oh who am I kidding, I going to wing it. What I will plan is making sure I get in at least 4 runs in and I am starting a Thursday yoga class.
As for nutrition, I am going to increase my water intake to a gallon a day,this means a lot of bathroom time.That's okay,it give me time to plan what color I am going to paint the bathroom. I am giving up white flour and sugar (ugh,I do love bread!). I have put my car on restriction, I have opted to walk or ride my bike when I need to errands in town. This is working, except for the above plan to increase my water intake.
I will be making three new recipes this week, and my deadline for the paper is on the 22nd. I have an appointment for our business on Tuesday and Wednesday is dedicated to calls. Thursday is training on the direct soft PLC and the tree cutter will be here, thus the working from home. And what starts this week? Tomorrow is the Lancaster sewage plant. Someday I shall be queen of the waste water treatment plants!
Ah the life of glamour, I wouldn't trade it for anything!

What's new!

Since my last blog in January, a few things have happened. I now have an article in the local paper about vegan cooking. I put it up here in a little bit. We have found several ways to make our lives more green. And I have been exercising almost every day. I said almost!

I would like to do this a little different, I am hoping that this is a bit more interactive. Post to me also! other wise I am just talking to myself, and I don't need help looking crazy!

Hey ladies, oh and men, I am not judging.... If you want those well manicured mitts but don't want all the chemicals, ask your local manicurists if they have natural products. I did! My manicurist did not have it at the time, but ordered it and called me. Not only do I have proper looking paws, she is going to advertise these new products! Who knows, it could bring her all new clients. Here is the down side. You can not get fake nails, that is all chemicals baby. And there are very limited colors to choose from. This works for me, I like the French tip look.

While looking at my blog, I found out I can blog from my phone. No excuses not to blog, well none that I have made up yet. Let's get

started.

This is crazy!|
A friend of mine called me on not keeping my blog up. Guess it's time to get serious. No really, I can be serious! I can!

If this works it will be way cool!
