Summer is Rolling

-
 So, really embarrassing story to share......

I know the month is going rather quickly (didja notice?)
But Wednesday I thought it was going at a
"week for a day" type pace.

Got to work and was looking at the calendar and
thought to myself "I cant believe its the 22nd already!"
But that just didn't seem right so I looked again and it said "Friday 22nd"
It was actually "Wednesday the 13th" but someone thought it would
be fun to switch the calendar and not switch it back.
Great coworkers :-/

But anyway here are some of the goodies in my surprise Freewill bags:

In other news.....
The cactus is blooming!



A delicious lunch I had the other day.......
Auntie Person wanted to go to Sam's after the Sunday meeting
and I would have died or bought a 50 pound bag of crackers
if i went to Sam's hungry, so I suggested we stop for lunch at Green Mango
(yay to having two centrally located Green Mango's)
I had the Summer Roll with tofu. Delicious!

Dont hate me because I am beautiful....

Her mango salad with tofu looked good too,
but she was jealous of my summer rolls....


I don't blame her
I also didn't share...
maniacal laugh maniacal laugh
(if you get this movie quote reference you get a gold star)

Sweet Innovation....
A new way to eat my oats:

Oatmeal Blueberry Smoothie

1/2 c oats
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 c frozen or fresh blueberries
1 to 1 1/2 c almond milk

The texture is thick and you will want to chew it, but that is a good thing since
its suggested you "chew" a smoothie to aid with digestion.
Cold refreshing, just sweet enough considering its a breakfast.
Filled with yummy coworkers blueberry and oats.
Yay iron in non pill form!

Oats, Blueberries, Frozen Bananas before the Almond milk bath

I love boxes of Stuff!

I received a reviewers box of goodies from the Brad's Raw people last Monday and I really couldn't wait to share it with you.  However, when they said they were sending a sampler I was expecting tiny sample-sized packets, but this is what I got: And since I'm working on not being a greedy gus, I didn't immediately rip into all the packages and devour them. I did eat almost a whole container of the Naked Leafy Kale chips for dinner, but that was out of necessity since i haven't been shopping... Even though I don't strictly follow a gluten free or raw diet, I'm always on the lookout for a good tasting, portable gluten free or raw snack. I usually lean toward the Raw sweet snacks, but I'm open to more salty or savory ones. Along with the box of tasty vittles there was a nicely packaged information folder about how the company started and who Brad is. Brad was the typical American guy (i.e. overweight and unhealthy), but that all changed when he m...

In my attempts to reduce my stress load I have rediscovered one of my favorite de-stressors: relaxing with a hot cup of tea. Ive read wonderful things about the relaxing benefits of Earl Grey tea spiked with Bergamot. I have to admit I'm a bit of a tea snob. I like to be able to see the composition of the tea in the bag. I find it thrilling to look in the tea bag and see bits of dried orange and lemongrass. This, of course, can do terrible things to ones wallet. So, in the interest of pinching pennies (sounds gruesome for those poor pennies) I considered the lower costing teas. To be perfectly honest I was not hopeful when I selected this tea. But for a change the tea that cost the least ($2.99) was surprisingly good (Mind you i was shopping at Whole Foods and its pretty hard to buy an awful product there). Bigelow Tea has a wonderful quality to its taste even though it is not a whole leaf tea. And as I was perusing the tea boxes I noticed that it is one of the few teas that has ac...

When in Rome....

The Spanish Steps in Rome It astonishes me to observe that, in this day and age when travel is so common, people are less and less aware of the customs and cultures of people around the world. With a few keystrokes a person can find out a million things about a locality with respects to preferences, etiquette and behavioral and social quirks. But it seems that people misunderstand the term "When in Rome...". They take it to mean "follow the local customs", which it partially means, but they fail to grasp that it also implies the need to also follow local habit and attitude as they follow the customs. To understand the reason for the customs. Trevi Fountain I saw so many "ugly Americans" in Italy. They come in all shapes and sizes and colors. They want to travel the world, but they want the world to be exactly like their home. Every person must speak English, every restaurant must serve hotdogs or hamburgers, and manners are wasted on those un...
