Blech*

YUCK! I'm so sick. I was feeling great all weekend just tired and not great. Well, today I'm sick. I hate being sick. I haven't thrown up, but I have that feeling in my tummy right before you are going to throw up. Of course, I couldn't have been really sick over the weekend when I didn't have anything to do, but now that I'm supposed to be working, I get to be sick. GREAT! I'm off to sniff some peppermint oil, maybe that will help!

So tired!

I am so tired today! It was a great week. Very busy, lots on my mind, so I haven't been sleeping very well. Today I just want to sleep. I do not feeling like that. I think that it has to do with being back on my diet. It is hard for me to go through all that "detox."

I went to a chiropractor on Friday. He isn't a normal chiropractor, he does more of a holistic approach. He works to make your whole body work together in unison. He told me my gallbladder is "clogged." It was interesting, because he knew things about me based on muscle testing that there was no way he would have known those things. Like, he knew I had open heart surgery and he knew that I was left handed and that I had TMJ problems. It was very bizarre. My naturopath that put me on this diet told me that every month the different vitamins that I take push the toxins through my body. She had told me that this month we were working on my gallbladder. So for him to know that was just STRANGE!

The good news? I lost 4 lbs this week! I'm not doing this diet to lose weight, but it's a great side benefit!

Date night in the city

Frank and I got last minute tickets to see the Jersey Boys for last night. We went to the city on The Bart and then walked to a restaurant called Max's and then we went to the theatre. Jersey Boys was absolutely AMAZING!! It was probably my favorite Broadway play I've ever seen. We really enjoyed being that the main character was Tommy DeVito. I enjoyed it a lot more than I think I would have before I met Frankie and his family. It's got a lot of bad language in it, but other than that. It was SO much fun! We had a great time. They did a really good job of casting the people so they looked like the real guys. If you ever have the chance to see it, GO!

Okay, now this is just silly! I got home from visiting clients today and I walked in the backyard and lo and behold, what did I see. . . TWINS

Yummy lunch

I'm on day 3 of my candida diet. So far, so good. I even survived Chevy's for dinner. I LOVE their tortillas, but I didn't even have a bite! Today for lunch I modified a recipe Alesa had given me. I took avocados, heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and basil and chopped them all up like a salad. Then I sprinkled olive oil and salt and pepper over it. It was SO yummy!! I made enough for lunch tomorrow too. I'm SO proud of myself!

Rhonda Kay

I'm so excited! Tropical lillies are kinda hard to grow and a little finicky about blooming. I got this one about 6 weeks ago from another ponder. When it came it had a bud on it, but that one died and all the leaves died. Last week I started noticing some buds under the water. This one broke through yesterday and today it opened up!! It's not quite all the way open yet. It's a little cool today so hopefully as the day gets warmer it will open up some more. It's name is Rhonda Kay. YAY!
