Living Dangerously

Date January 21, 2008

When I got ready for bed last night, said bed wasn’t very warm. Even though it had been plugged up all day, it would have been another night in the “coolth”. That was something I couldn’t handle so…I left it plugged up. I slept. I slept warm. It was oh! so comfy that I had [...]

How to Look Good Naked

Date January 20, 2008

Since the BlogHerAds were pushing the show, I decided I shouldn’t allow anything on my blog that was an unknown quantity. I recorded a couple of episodes after hours (I rarely watch any show when it’s on) and watched one last night and the other this morning. Despite its racy title, it is really quite [...]

Would you eat cloned anything?

Date January 19, 2008

Cloned meat has been in the news for the past week. The government is assuring everyone that it’s safe. Is any meat safe? Any animal, cloned or otherwise, is prone to disease just as humans are if it is fed a standard diet. Even if the beast is fed an optimal diet according to its [...]

What is “normal” food?

Date January 18, 2008

One of the women on the forum is being criticised by her relatives for eating food that isn’t “normal”. Which begs the question, “What is ‘normal’ food?” Is it food that has been born to parents that walk around, fly, crawl, or swim? Food that has to be killed before it’s eaten and either plucked, [...]

Does your battery need recharging?

Date January 17, 2008

I’m not talking about just one kind. Our bodies can feel rundown and need recharging as well as the battery in the faithful car wearing out. Three years ago, I was on my last legs as far as energy was concerned. I would stand at one end of the hallway at work and it would [...]

I’m an official bokashi-er.

Date January 16, 2008

There are probably two inches in the bokashi bucket on top of a thin layer of bokashi. Before I put another sprinkling of bokashi in, I need more scraps. Three inches is what the instructions say. I won’t measure it but I know it isn’t there yet. I found the perfect spot for it at [...]

Do you bokashi?

Date January 15, 2008

I have become the owner of two composting systems. One is a standard composter that will sit out in my garden area. The other is a bokashi bucket. I haven’t taken the time to unpack it here at home. The girls at work took a look at it and think I have, for sure, lost [...]

Day 1 of the 21 Day Challenge down.

Date January 14, 2008

I’ve made two out of three so far. I got in a solid 25 minutes exercise plus I did a couple of sets of 20 wall pushups during the day. My fat consumption was cut by about half. I haven’t gone to bed yet and it’s just after 9. I’ll have to report on that [...]

Does your boss read your blog?

Date January 13, 2008

Mine has better things to do, I’m sure, but SOMEONE does because there are reports. Not frequent ones, I don’t think, but reports if I write something that might make waves. I’ve been gently advised not to write anything about my co-workers which rules out a lot of my life. I spend most of my [...]

A bad hair day…

Date January 12, 2008

Last night didn’t prove to be one that made for good rest. It may have been the avocado. Who knows? In any case, my time was taken up with getting ready for the fellowship meal and I didn’t have time to shower. My hair couldn’t have looked much worse. It looks better when I drive [...]
