I've just come home from my kids school fete. They had such a great time! There were rides and loads of entertainment from various dance/music schools that the kids go to. There was loads of stuff! I caught up with people I've not seen in over a year and had a good time.

I have to say though that I was surprised at the food. In a way that's less than positive. Talk about junk incorporated! Not even a vegetarian option which floored me. Unless you count the toffee apples or krispy creme donuts. I cannot believe that the krispy creme company has infiltrated my school. Buggers. I've decided I'm going to get one of those donuts and leave it in a desk drawer and see if it rots. What's the bet that it looks the same in a years time? Grrrr.

Anyhoo... apart from that it was great. The moods were great, there were no screaming mothers or kids. It was just one of those perfect days.

Tonight for dinner, a big salad. I'm really into my salads again in a big way. Yummm.... I had a great one the other night that was memorable. Shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped snowpea sprouts, tomatoes, olives (kalamata) some olive water for a dressing and voila. Yummers. Bill liked it too! Kids wouldn't touch it but ah well. Can't please em all!

I'm still so in awe of my children for their big bike ride from yesterday. They did so well. I'm going for a ride tomozz. We ended up going to the bike shop in the arvo to get some drink bottle holders for the kids bike and I asked about bike seats. I told the guy that after riding I feel like I've been "kicked up the jaxie!... and the jillsie too" so I'm going to take my bike there tomozz and he's going to put the new seat on for me and show me how to set up my bike!

Huzzahhh!

Thx for the jaxie word MissG... has already come in handy. Love it!

Ditto!

Hmm... feeling restless, cantankerous, annoyed. Buzzy, can't keep still... dissatisfied. Feel like going and spending a bundle on things with my credit card which will ultimately not create long term happiness although the short  term "Oh something new" feeling would be fun.

This can only mean one thing...


Bored outta my skull! Paperwork sucketh muchy! LOL. Gosh. Too many days in front of a pc and not enough time in the sun maketh me no fun!

Tomorrow... bike ride. Get new seat. off puter by 5pm. Have lunch away from PC. Do some dynamic breathing. Google dynamic breathing techniques to make sure I'm doing it right. Tee hee.

yeah. paint my hair blonde. Be different. how exciting... I'm getting happier just thinking about it!

xoxoxo

Eclipse! So that's what it is. LOL. Bloody planets... who do they think they are to be shifting and causing all this mayhem hmmmm? Tee hee. I'm glad I'm feeling silly and not cranky pantzy.

No, not really painting hair. Just saying whatever came into my head. Couldn't stand the smell of the blonde maker stuff. Might get a hair cut though.

I am having a day as away from the PC as I can (can you tell???). I'm being creative in the kitchen and then going for a bike ride. Also am going to chill out to a meditation CD today and do some affirmation stuff. I'm really enjoying the affirmations. They work so quickly for me. It's amazing.

Thx for the rawcipe. I might just have to have that for ze lunch!

Why thank ye Proff G! It's sort of evolved from daily emails to and fro with a friend and the books I read and others on here of course too! Glad to help you smile!

I went for my bike ride today and will not be taking Bella again unless the kids are with me. She was a shocker! When Caitlyn and Brock are there she wants to race ahead with them and when they are not there... snail's pace I tell you! Not fun dragging her along.

However I got me a new seat and am going to get me some bike riding shorts that I can wear under my regular pants to keep my jaxie and jillsie unbruised! LOL.

I was chatting to a fellow that I met through RP a few weeks ago and reminded him that he was my fitness inspiration. He doesn't even know I'm riding yet. A few weeks ago I said to him "Oh I am not fit enough to ride". Liar!

Mmmm... time for bedinski! I think I have made up for my morning away from the pc by spending a lot of time here this evening!

Going to get the shut eye now!

Love love !

Jen you're curry wraps sound delicious. What is your recipe for the curry?

You have grown so much in the last few months. John's post in the letting go thread was interesting regarding deliberately scattering your energy. I think we all have the potential to do that, deliberately or not. It is one of my greatest challenges to remaining in the moment.

It is all a circle. Round we go, learning, growing, changing. Or perhaps a spiral. Moving outwards or inwards depending on your prefered teaching.

It was also interesting reading your response and how it goes in the eyes but not in the heart. How you read it but it doesn't connect. I think that means there is something else that needs to click first. Don't try and struggle to make it happen, it will. At exactly the right time. Just be open and in the moment and it will all fall into place. (Mind you I could do with following that advice myself at the moment!)

Well done with your bike riding. We have been doing a bit of that lately too. Much dryer than walking! We have had so much rain! We have a small lake in the backyard. Almost kidding.

Have a great evening Jen!

Yum!  Watermelon whizzed with lime juice is one of the BEST drinks on the planet, in my humble opinion.  Truly scrumptious.

Oh, and I hope that your jaxie feels better soon.

Great book I'm reading it now, makes me want to run away to the Himalayas and become a yogi
