Eat, Pray, Love

Must say, the movie, Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts is spectacular! Seeing this today and with all that is going on in my life right now, I was able to connect with so much of it. Would not want to be the spoiler of such a fantastic movie, but if you have already seen it, I am more than happy to explain more of what my feelings and expressions for it.

Can’t wait to see it again and read the book – there is so much to learn, at least for me, that the book will become indispensable.

Rose, Sweet Rose

Turning the key to unlock the front door, it squeaks as I push it open and let myself in; Rose and Foofur do not greet me so I start yelling, “Hello!” but no one comes running so I call out again, “Hello?”. I begin to hear a thump, thump, thump; did Rose lock herself in the laundry room and that is her tail hitting the washer or dryer? I listen a couple more seconds to know she is not down there; where is she and why is she not running to the stairs and either coming up one set or coming down the other? “Rose?”, “Rose, where are you?” Thump, thump, thump. What is her tail hitting, where is she? Taking two steps up the stairs I hear her tail hitting more excitingly.

As I approach the top stair I hear she is in the bathtub, in the dark, with the door against the tub. As I get to her I continue talking to her and now petting her, realizing she is shaking uncontrollably. Why did hide in the bathtub, and the bathtub in the bathroom that has no windows? Why was she shaking? Poor girl; I will probably never know what happened to make her hide in there.

A ride in the car and a trip to the park seemed to calm her mind and brighten her spirits. What is she going to do when I get a job and have to leave her home for many hours? I will just have to take her with me to work and everywhere else I go!

Cumcumbers Are Yummy and Very Functional

This was sent to me through email, and I thought the quickest way to get it out to all is to post it!

Hope some, or all, of these tips come in handy for you all!

WOW WHAT A LITTLE GEM THE CUCUMBER!

1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

5 Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

6.. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don’t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don’t have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don’t have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Looking for a ‘green’ way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won’t leave streaks and won’t harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

Those With Four Legs

Plastic, oh plastic, why must you be?

An-G — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 04:00:22 +0000

Have you ever wondered how much plastic you go through in one month? In one week? How about in one day? Ever since I have been recycling, the plastic keeps piling. Is there a way to rid one’s home of plastic? I am coming to the conclusion that one cannot.

Our plastic recycling is much larger than our paper, cardboard, foil and such; I would guess by about half! Imagaine that, trying to cut back on filling up Mother Earth of unnecessary evil and yet the evil itself accumulates. Good thing I do recycle now and also look for the most non-harmful packaging when at the store.

Ask yourself this next time you are grocery shopping: “What is in my cart that has NO plastic packaging?” You will soon find out your answer will be little to none. That is right, little to none – most foods and novelties are packaged in this; cereal is stored in plastic then wrapped in cardboard, produce is swathed in plastic, bread is smothered in plastic, sugars are pushed into plastic, cheese -oh-cheese is ever so suffocated in plastic.

So now you ask what has no plastic packaging before you bolt to your local supermarket? Fresh produce, as long as you DON’T put them in plastic, many chip bags, and if you purchase the ‘good’ chocolate bars, then they are not. Just a few at the top of my head.

How can I eliminate more of this unnecessary evil from my home? Purchase from health food stores you say? Look through their windows and you will see plastic, plastic, plastic, waiting ever so patiently to be touched and to have your organic foods thrown into it. Gross! Plastic leak, and not like a old dogs bladder – it leaks BPA and other nasty stuff – so why does the FDA allow businesses to contaminate us?

Argh! I guess we can only try our best and keep searching for answers.
