Busy, Busy, Busy!!

O-M-G!! I have been so busy lately! It's not even funny!

• I work full-time at the radio station office, and besides my normal job duties, I have been recording quite a few commercials lately. I go in to record one and they ask me to stay and record a few more! But I have to admit, them asking me to record radio commercials is flattering in its own way! lol

• I then go home and continue working on my contract-basis job that I have, transcribing, translating & typing court reports - very rewarding, financially!

• I go to church a few times a week

• I organize the kid's lessons for church since I am the "teacher"

• and to top it all off, I am trying to get away this weekend with my husband, whom I have not seen in a couple of weeks because he has been working out of town!!
  

I just pray for time, patience and organization!! lol :) I hope I can do everything I have to do this weekend and not leave anything undone, cause then I won't be able to relax and enjoy my weekend at the coast! ugh.

Are you busy? What are you up to these days? :)

No Soda!!

Okay, so far the past few weeks my brother, RJ, has cut out soda from his life and replaced it with water, orange juice, etc. In the matter of about 3 weeks he has lost 14 lbs!! So I finally said to myself, um, why not try cutting out soda?? So I did!! I did not have one drop of soda at all last week, Monday-Friday (I had one ice cold Coke on Saturday and one during a bbq on Sunday) and lost a little over 2 lbs!! TWO POUNDS!! All from cutting out soda for a few days!! So I'm back at it again... NO SODA for me!!


I think that leaving the soda behind and losing a few pounds by doing so is totally worth it! Don't you? So, I know I have asked you to join me on pledging to become a vegetarian for 30 days, now I am asking you to join me in cutting out soda from your diet. This is all about living a long, healthy, happy life!

So CHEERS (with a glass of ice cold water) to you & your health!! :)


P.S. my favorite bottled waters are: Dasani, Aquafina, & Fiji
(Arrowhead has a bad after-taste. If you drink Arrowhead water and have never noticed it, take a drink of it and "savor" it, pay attention to the taste and will you notice the bad after-taste! Sorry, I just had to share that!)

Vegetarian 30-Day Challenge!

Okay, so I joined my mom on a quick trip to the local market just about an hour ago... it was going great. We picked out some fresh produce, said hi to some people that we ran into, and then the horror began... (cue suspense music) we walked to the meat section!! aaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! There I was, pushing the shopping cart, with no where to go, no where to turn, nothing to take my attention from what was in front of me... the nasty meat section! There I was, looking directly into it, dumbfounded, wondering what compelled us, the human race, to do such a horrible thing! I was starring straight into a cow's head, its eyes looking straight at me!! A head that belonged to a slaughtered cow!! I am not being dramatic, I am not exaggerating, tears really started to form in my eyes and when I least expected it, my mom turned around, saw the look in my face, and asked me why I was crying! I had tears rolling down my eyes, down my cheeks! I could not understand why we do this to the animals! There I stood with a cow's head, tripe, hoofs, tongue, stomach... all in the meat section refrigerator for sale.. for human consumption! What ever made a human think that eating an animals tripe, stomach lining, hoofs, tongue or any other body part was healthy for us!? I don't understand. What I saw a few moments ago and the emotions I felt at that moment made me realize that I made the right decision a few months back in becoming a vegetarian! I am so proud of myself and now I know I will continue in this path, with this commitment!
