Nothing
It's Tuesday and it's just another day , and it's been raining these past two days. ( i need sunshine, its California for heavens sake) In reality I've enjoyed some of it , but this kinda weather makes me feel a little melancholic. I think that's the only thing that makes me hate being a women. (we are so sentimental, but it can be a good thing)random right.
As of now I am enjoying a fresh piece of bread and tea, looking at the season finale of " hart of Dixie" i am a sucker for Zoe hart.. hahahah!
Who isn't .
just in case you were wondering...
This picture was taken a while ago with Alex on our date night . I have heard so much about Stella Rosa that I ended up trying it. man was it heavenly. It was the most perfect wine bottle out there and something so different from what I've tasted. yeah, that was happening.
On another note , I have nothing planned for mothers day which sucks , but I guess that's life...i"ll probably celebrate it next week, so eh!

"growing up, two different personalities,bond"
Haven: Silly as ever
Orion: Always doing his own thing (flying blocks)
Tofu//Mind
Before becoming a vegetarian , I had always thought about tofu and what it was made of ... That's pretty much it , and just left it at that. Guess what , I finally tried it and cooked with it ( i wasn't disappointed) obviously its totally different then meat , but I'll do just fine.. I paired it with a green salad , quinoa, and my version of stir fry, oh and a salsa that I made earlier this week. (good stuff)Chile never fails ....
I'm experimenting as I go, since my recent cookbook was an epic fail .I will say this that as much as that was a failure , I am enjoying making new things from off the top of my head. But I kinda cheated at the grocery store , I ended up buying veggie patties and veggie chicken . (meatless product) I still haven't ate it them yet. Lets see how that goes.. But I have been craving a Veggie Patty sub from subway , they are sooo good..(just saying)
Random Note:
(Hahah , I laugh at myself because I had no idea about tofu , that is until YOUTUBE... Yes, this (place has videos for everything and anything even tofu.')
I have been feeling good , this transition has me in a more clear state of mind and I feel more centered. I guess I keep my inspiration from things that I read and the kind of person that I want to become on the inside. Not everyone understands, and maybe they won't but I am loving what I do and that's all that matters.
What I am enjoying about my new
VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE
-ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS
-ENDLESS SALADS
-VARIETY
-I FEEL SUPER LIGHT AND MY HEADACHES ARE SLOWLY DIMINISHING
-LESS STRESS
-POSITIVE OUTCOMES IN MY MOOD '
-FEELING, MORE SPIRITUALLY INCLINED
it's a tad bit premature , but I am taking each day in and embracing it . Grateful for taking the leap on my own and sticking it through .

Coffee Talk
Lets see, where do I start.......................
it's been hectic around here (sure has) but it helps my days go by fast. With so much on my mind , I have little to no time (not complaining, just saying) I have Havens school on my mind , moving, school, switching into a vegetarian and on top of that my insomnia sucks more then ever. A little thing here and there at times doesn't make sense, but in my head it does. Also trying to expand my blog (but not knowing how) and just giving it time.
Anyways, your probably wondering the whole vegetarian thing. Well I am kinda trying it out to see how I like it .. I just started and it's not as hard as I thought it would be . Because, first of all we only eat meat three times a week and most of the time I skip it . But I thought why not for health reasons, I won't impose it on my family . I am so against it , I just feel like the older we get we should have the choice to do things . I hate being told what to do in this sense per say, but that's me.Until they are ready or feel the need to change , then they can decide.
I am adjusting well and loving it, I love shopping for veggies anyways so i find this pleasing. I think the only kind hard part is not eating cheese, ( i don't drink cow milk ) but cheese is my obsession. I haven't ate tofu because I don't know how to cook it .... So I am doing my Homework on that. And then eggs I have to second guess that after something disturbing , that happened to me . I normally buy eggs from Ralph's and I have never had a problem . That is until Saturday. While cracking open the eggs and putting them in a pan something reddish dry came out , like a scab. I took it out to examine and seen that it was blood from the egg it was the size of my finger nail. My stomach began to turn and I started thinking why is this happening , how gross (but its reality). With mixed feelings I started some new eggs for my boys and chose not to eat them. Instead I had oatmeal with Almond milk and slices of apples, strawberries and bananas. I know I am being a little delicate , and i am not liking it. ( it takes time ) i keep telling myself.
It was just awkward...... ( there was no point) I will continue to cook meat for my kids and that would be that. Transitions are always hard but are good. makes a bit of sense right..
On anther note, I finally saw the school that I want to take my son too. (it's beautiful and a bit secluded) It's by lake Mathews ... It looks secure and I got a good vibe from it (plus it's scores are amazing) I am still looking around for more options the time is so close , and I am doing things with time so I won't be rushing . I am looking forward to this new page in our family book. I also start school again after taking a semester off.

Maybe . Not really
It's not that often that people ask me things our question who I am. And if they do, I have no problem letting them know what they are asking. I will tell you a little bit of what I am talking about. Just the other day . a lady asked if I wanted to earn some gifts by having a show at my house and that it wouldn't cost me a dime.(OK i am listening). She kept just giving me details on potential items I could win, and that great stuff. While she kept talking I kept thinking in my head " what is the catch". After she stopped , she asked me if i could gather about ten of my closest friends so they can see the product . (it's a big company called princess) .I just started laughing so hard (tad rude) but I mean no harm . She looked puzzled and asked me what was so funny.. ( a blunt answer never hurts) I said ", oh my I am sorry ,but I have no close friends like that , I maybe only have like three and that's if , and I haven't seen them in about nine years." The lady just immediately said well I am sure you can invite family , other acquaintances. I told her I am not the kind of person who looks for people when I need something, and plus I don't take having friends lightly, so therfore sorry maybe next time. While she was packing what she has showed me , she said I should try to have more friends, because life isn't the same without them. OK , well thank you. And she walked away.
Honestly, I kinda felt bad for the lady in a way and kinda for myself.( i don't do that ). Because I have never been a person who has a million friends. I don't like it . I am more of the, I rather have 5 close friends then a bunch of phony people surrounding me. I will never understand that , but it's just the way that I am. And just maybe it's not a good thing but life is about living happy and being around people who make me laugh, who can talk about books, art, cooking, the kids,etc. things I can relate too. I like honest,loyal sincere,blunt people. I hardly have ever known many of them. But , I have hope .and i believe good friends do exist.
In the end I felt bad for the lady because shes working on commission and I couldn't get her any,but she'll find others. So good luck to you lady.
thats life .............
