I have finally picked up the book, Girls in Trucks, again. When I first opened it, I wasn’t really getting into it, plus I was reading two other books at the time. A few days into it and now I was nearing the end. I don’t have the time I would like to [...]

Ah, beauty. Or just the good health habit of taking care of yourself. Following healthy habits actually promotes beauty, or what I consider to be ‘beauty’. I don’t think beautiful means perfect features. I believe beautiful means healthy, clean, glowing. Healthy men and women radiate. Things like drinking water, not smoking, eating well, getting [...]

The alarm clock, albeit a Zen gong, started ringing at seven. Ugh. I don’t like to wake up before eight. But I had to be at the winery by nine, so there you go. I dragged my sleepy bum out of my cozy bed and sauntered down the stairs for a bowl of [...]

I tried to sleep in. I woke up at quarter of ten. I was groggy. I slowly emerged from bed and made my way downstairs and cooked up a crab fritata with two organic, free range eggs, fresh cheese and chives. I had two sausage links and a piece of toast made with [...]

I couldn’t sleep in on this Saturday. I had to get up and work. It was going to be a very long day. I made myself two scrambled eggs with a little cheese, two sausage links, and two pieces of Seattle brown loaf toast. Pairs of everything. Even two small glasses of [...]

This morning I was a little sluggish. It was gray outside, overcast, with more rain in the forecast. It was cool out, a nice break between 100+ temperatures at the end of last week and the forecasted high 80’s low 90’s forecasted for the end of this week.
I had an especially busy day [...]

I woke up to a rainy morning. The rain was good and definitely needed out here in the northern Willamette. I stretched and went downstairs to get in ten solid sun salutation yoga poses and 100 crunches. I ate a half cup of cantaloupe for breakfast nd felt refreshed.
On my way to work, I headed over [...]

I got up and it had cooled off significantly. Thank God. Thunder was roaring and storms were passing through. This was a good thing.
I checked the kitchen and dining room – no ants! It appears my laborous tactics yesterday had worked. But I wasn’t holding my breath just yet.
I went online and did [...]
