Sweetpeas



I have a *sweet* friend who gave me a handful of sweetpeas, she has them growing in front of her flower shop in Tierrasanta called Bloomin' Island. They are such a delicate flower and they just smell so yummy! ... Thanks Carol

Okay...

...so I'm some what happy with my blog so far. I like the photo slide thing, but the actual layout of the blog isn't my favorite. But after a few hours of pulling my hair out and screaming under my breath {because it's late, and everyone is sleeping} I am some what happy with what I see. So I will leave it as it is for a while, I will try this venture again in a few days... maybe.



I found a book that I think is really educational. The Ultra Mind Solution by Mark Hyman, M.D.. I saw him on an infomerical and thought... yah right! Then he started talking about detoxing and Omega 3's... so I was hooked and bought his book the same day! He doesn't promote anything that you have to buy from him. The book is about your daily diet and what your brain could be missing... causing depression, anxiety, autism, adhd...etc. One thing he said which was pretty funny was... if you have depression and you are taking Prozac... does that mean you have a Prozac deficiency?.... if not, then why are you taking it? With taking Omega 3's, B12 & B6 and magnesium along with a few other minerals, and taking out gluten (which causes anger in kids) and dairy... the mind could function normally! Especially those kids with Autism... i know, i have a nephew that has it. But this Dr. has had 12 Autistic kids under his plan that no longer have the title "Autistic".

Did you also know that babies born between the years 1989 and 2001 were exposed to mercury? If you gave your baby immunity shots (like all good mommies were suppose to do) then your baby, like mine, was ingested with mercury. Now... depending on the body because everyone is different and not all bodies can detox poisons naturally, your child could be suffering from mercury poisoning... nice huh!

Could you imagine, just by giving your body and brain the nutrients its lacking, depression, anxiety, allergies, dementia, adhd, and all the other broken brain "disorders" would be gone. It's true, and I believe you are what you eat or lack there of....

I have a friend who's Mother has rheumatoid arthritis. She stopped her intake of dairy, gluten, meat and sugar and her pain decreased immensely. I know.... what else is there to eat... well to rid yourself of the pain, ask yourself what would you do to be pain free?

Have a great weekend,

Confession...

... these are my all time favorite Girl Scout Cookies!!!

Selfishly I would love to only order these, but my son would freak out if I did. So I order the thin mints for him, and a few others {maybe to hide my obsession or perhaps give the other cookies a chance.. ha right...}.
So they came to my door yesterday and yummmmm.... I love my Girl Scout Cookies!!!!

Thankfully San Diego Girl Scouts do "Operation Thin Mint"... where you order thin mints and pay for them... you never see the cookies.... they get sent to the troops! Why EVERY Girls Scout Troup across the nation doesn't do this, I'm not sure, but it should be done!

Off to enjoy my cookies... :)

Took a stroll through Balboa Park...

...with my camera. It felt good to get out and take a few shots again. Spring is my favorite time of year. After a long colorless winter, spring comes in bursting with a palette of delicate colors and textures.



These are some of my favorite ones, so I may turn them into cards.

Happy Spring,

Childhood

I've been taking most of our childhood photos and scanning them {with my lovely Epson 4990 scanner} into my computer. And while I was going through each photo, I picked out most of my favorite ones and created a mini album with them. I know... I actually put photos in my album... *shocker*.... but I haven't written in it yet, so it's still me... the unfinished album girl. I can't help it, I create so much quicker when there is no photos or journaling involved... weird I know, but don't you think all crafters have an odd gene in their body... maybe that's how we're able to create.

I think this is a Cosmo Cricket blackboard album, but I could be wrong... it's been awhile, and with that comes forgetfulness... sorry! The papers and embellies are from a PDW kit by Michelle Hill.

Which door..?


maybe door number 32.... I don't know!!!

I'm ready to start planning our next adventure/move in the Navy, but without orders in hand, we have to sit and wait. This is such a hard thing for me, I feel like we are running out of time, and with no orders in hand we wait.... and wait....this is not the fun part of the Navy.

I can handle back to back sea tours and 6 month deployments every year. I can even handle him being gone for all but a handful of our Anniversaries, Birthdays and summer vacations, but put me in a position of not knowing what tomorrow will bring makes me want to loose my ever lovin' mind.

I know our orders will come and things will fall into place, our move will be some what smooth with only a few broken items to deal with. But until then... we wait.... sigh.....

San Diego


I love living in San Diego. Even though it isn't where I was born, San Diego is where I want to be. The skies are always blue, the sun always out, and the ocean is right around the corner. What could be better than that?

You will find most anything within San Diego county. The biggest problem is you tend to take advantage of this area beautiful area because sunny and 70+ is almost a daily occurrence.

I'm off to enjoy this day in San Diego...
