Oh My!
Oh My...
How time flies...
Last week seems like a distant memory. Well not that distant. We had our biannual audit last week. I got dinged on a couple of things, but thank goodness it is OVER.
Ugh. I don't like those times at all. Especially when the auditor's biggest purpose is to
GET YOU.
Really though.
Anyway, last week is over and a new week has begun.
Can you believe it's December? The year 2013 is literally around the corner!
Oh my!
I'm just happy for a new week beginning.
This was a quiet weekend. It was a juicing weekend. I like to do some juicing every six weeks just as a cleanse.
I love juicing because it is quick and fast. I usually have juice 4 mornings a week... and I have gotten over into some interesting juices. You can call them borderline dysfunctional.
There is a juice bar a block from the job. I went to work for an hour and a half on Sunday, and I had a blackberry-apple-banana-peach-spinach juice, which was GREAT!
I will most definitely hit that place up again since it is so close to the job.
I juiced some sweet potatoes for the first time. I didn't know you could do such until I ran across it somewhere. It is... okay. As long as it is mixed with other veggies.
The most interesting juice I made with my juicer was watercress-pear-celery-cranberry-cherry-lemon-blueberry.
One word: dysfunctional.
But good, nevertheless. Watercress is VERY spicy. The first time I juiced watercress, I juiced too much and I felt like my chest was on FIRE. It's not as bad as ginger. But it is fire hot.
Interestingly, the phytochemical that produces that chest burn is effective at combating a class of cancer causing carcinogens in tobacco smoke.
Oh my!
I don't smoke. Not sure it will do anything for me. But it is an interesting plant.
Never juicing too much again, though. I have to smooth that out. Those berries do the job.
I will be adding watercress to my salad. It's suppose to be good for you.
I will probably carry this on until tomorrow sometime.
I suppose tomorrow night I will go somewhere and have a big ol' bowl of chitlins.
(Yeah right),
LOL
I also hung out at the neighborhood farmers market this weekend.,
Song of the week. Last week I was on some weird bad boy vibe. Not sure what that's about.
But I have been playing this song alot.
Not sure. Maybe one of my characters like it. (Some of them have their favorite tunes).
Hmm... Oh my! Wouldn't that be interesting?
I MUST have a full blogging week this week. I am so far behind.
