Hanging out with my friend Natalie this weekend inspired me to watch more docentaries. Eric and I watched King Corn. So glad I gave up beef this year. Now I’m more deteined than ever to cut high fructose corn syrup out of my diet. Thinking I should make my own spagetti sauce out of the tomatoes in the freezer.

Oh, this is so random but I wanted to share a few things.
Number 1:
The BEST toilet cleaner in the the world Kaboom NEVER SCRUB! About a month ago I found these things at Fred Meyer and being the, “I hate to clean the toilet person” that I am, had to buy one for each toilet.
We have this thing with the water, the bowl gets pink from the water. I don’t know what’s in it but our beautiful toilets get pink like three days after I’ve cleaned them. This is a godsend. What’s super cool is that we don’t have to clean the bowl, there’s not more ring, and the thing lasts for 5 MONTHS woo hoo, no cleaning for me
Number 2:
The best, FREE site to track your eating and training NutriDiary. It even gives you reports. I love that it shows you how much ,cars, etc you’ve had with your food for the day. it tracks your weight, exercise and just about everything else. What’s neat too is that you can get a member ship, which opens up more features for something like $20 a year. That’s cheap! SO what do you get for that, well you can contact a dietitian and she’ll work with you to set up an eating plan just for you. there’s coaching, more storage of your information, more personalization… OK you get the picture.
Number 3:
I’m loving the Internet right now and all that I’m learning. I’m sure I’ve said it before but I’ve got a TON, and I mean a TON of RSS feeds which enable me to keep up with things in the training world, things I’m interested in and of course my hobbies. I used to think that people were crazy to have this whole Internet life and not have a life with people but I’m learning more and more just how powerful and exciting this blogging and sense of community can be helpful professionally and personally. I have a separate blog for work/training related things so that family and friends don’t have to deal with the crap from work or the ideas I’m pursuing. I’ve been blogging internally in the company for a while and have increased my network and met some great people with similar passions to myself. It’s great to find people within my company and outside the company that have similar interests. You know the whole dinner with Anthony Bourdain wouldn’t have happened if not for my increased dive into the intranet
Number 4:
I love my husband, my friends and the people in my life. Today Eric and I are going out to Pittock Mansion and the Rose Gardens. I’ve never been to either but I’m looking forward to it. I’ve got the camera all charged and ready to go. it’s going to be a great day, wish I had my polarized filter and stuff though, oh well. SO why am I writing about the people in my life and being happy? Well, I woke up this morning and just felt really good. I mean I’m happy with my life, happy where I’m at in it, what I’ve accomplished. yada, yada, yada. I just have a real appreciation right now. You know we all go through the good, the bad and the ugly but to come out of all that with your head held high, content and happy where you’re at, not worrying about tomorrow and just living and loving feels great (OK, you can stop laughing at that one). Seriously, I don’t tell my friends and family enough how much I love you, but I do love you and I’m thanks every day for you. Without the people I have in my life, I’d be more neurotic than I am.
Oh, time to go. will post pictures later.
