Mumble Jumble

Better sign in to my blog and get to blogging before the "mommy monster" comes after me.  I opened my mother into the world of blogging.  She didn't hear from me in a couple of days so she thought she could catch up with me here.  AND there was no new news!!  So many things to talk about.  I could continue my saga of the mortgage lending nightmare, no.  Or my good morning friend named, "head cold" that woke me up this morning, no.  Well, I could talk about my amazing JUICE I've been drinking.  Aww, its my fav.  It's a staple for life, um, one of them anyway.  I've been juicing 2 handfuls of spinach, 1 apple and 4-6 carrots in my handy dandy juicer that extracts the pulp (fiber), namely Juice Extractor Hamilton Beach.  I recommend doing this only when juicing greens.  I use my "GODLY" Vita-Mixer for my fruits, protein shakes and smoothies.  FIBER is important so don't think I am ALL about the extractor.  I just like to get a large amount of greens in each day and "ME NOT DRINKING" greens in my vita-mixer I can't stomach it, no matter what.  Again (from previous posts), if we must, talk about William.  He hears that juicer and he comes running.  HE LOVES my green drink.  I have to share and I am quite stingy!  Another Little Willie story....I use to juice my greens and then mix the juice in his baby cereal when he was just starting to eat solid foods.  awwww.....how adorably sweet was that.  He has the most amazing taste buds I have ever known!  I think he has super duper taste bud powers.  That boy has to have TASTE when he is eating.  He needs at least a three course meal at a time and he doesn't want anything breaded or greasy, man!!  He wants TASTE!  I told my husband, I CAN'T take it!!  YOU FEED HIM.  He takes after his dad in the area, so guess what, he feeds him!  Well, ya know, since I am such perfect picture of health, and I am Miss Healthy, runner person, I gotta sign off, cuz I am really SICK, (sadly, again)....I'm getting concerned about this.  Oh, I know its detox...lol!  Well, whatever it is, most likely lack of sleep, mounds of running and little stress from that dern, mortgage company!   p.s. that ended today at 1:00.  YEP, refinancing, complete!

Remember To Stop and Smell the Flowers

I refrain from to many formal activities.  Our Friday night out to Olive Garden was stiff enough for me.  Reasons are many!  I was in a business meeting with MetLife as we are refinancing our home, and my phone rang, I mean barked.  (lol)  Yes, the ring tone is a dog barking.  I felt the meeting was not to formal and the professional mortgage lender was busy typing on the computer, knowing it was my youngest son, I made a special exception to make sure everything was alright.
      "Hi, Mom", William said.
      Whispering I said, "Hi, Wils what's up." 
      "Oh, nothing." Pause.
      "William, what do you need?"
      "Can I have some chocolate chips?"  Usually under these circumstances, the answer would be yes, just to get them off the phone and I could deal with them later.  But I guess without thinking to much about it I replied back a quick no of which sparked more conversation.  "Well, what can I have?  I am so hungry."
      "William I will make dinner when I get home, so just eat an apple for now."  Thinking I have to get off this phone, while somewhat whispering,  but how can you whisper in a very small business office occupying two people.  Obviously this lady could hear everything I said.  I was regretting answering the phone by now.  "Gotta go, William."
       "Wait, wait, Mom?" William panicking on the other end.
       "W H A T?" I replied.
       "What kind of apples are they?"
       "Fuji, William."  By now I was embarrassed by having this conversation, realizing it wasn't an earth shattering situation.  Feeling like I just want to hang up the phone and not discuss what brand of apples we have at home and thinking this lady is going to think we are crazy.
       "Ok, as long as they aren't Red Delicious apples, I hate those kind.  You know I'd rather have Granny Smith, but Fuji will do.  Ok, thanks Mom, I'll see ya in a litlle bit."  My embarrassment subsided by the time William finished talking because by now I was smiling and chuckling to myself.  I hung up the phone gently putting the phone back in my purse.  Properly sitting up straight waiting for Ms. Mortgage Loan Lender Lady to continue with my situation.  She turns to me with her glasses on the tip of her nose and said, "He really doesn't know the difference between apples does he?"  At that moment I realized, your right, how many 9 year old boys care about what type of apple they are eating.
      "Yes, he really cares about that." I said, smiling and nodding and thinking to myself, if she only knew how much.
       Sometimes I wish my focus wasn't so much on the biological make up of every single living organism on this earth.  But its how my mind works and I see I've passed down to my children the awareness of what we put in our bodies.  Usually in my hasten furies my most precious lessons are revealed as long as I am listening.  



 

Reminiscing

June 7, 2010-Figured out today I have been consciously eating raw foods for 10 years, though have always had a love for raw fruits and veggies my entire life!! Wowee!! Been juicing for 12 years.....gosh! Thats awesome!! The last 5 years have been super duper rough. Hubby and I have been climbing a mountain for 5 years and guess what? We got to the top!! We are so excited! Its been a long haul, but we got there. I have been eating packaged/processed foods mindlessly and I've been depressed a lot! ugh!! So working my way back to my healthy ways....and helping others out along the way! I have been running a little bit and doing yoga occasionally. So, want to work on getting my routine back!! .....its a good raw day!

smiles,
