Body Talk

Does you body speak to you? When you are abusing it or neglecting your God given temple, does it let you know? Mine does, subtlety, not in a creepy old testament kind of way. - though that would be funny, I can only imagine what mine would say..

Bottom- " Get thee to the gym woman, seriously we are growing to large and long back here...

My Liver would whisper- " hey Lady, the FDA recommends ONE glass of red wine per day...not 12."

Ears- "Yes, it is possible to listen to the Twilight sound track too loudly while cleaning...."

okay, but that is not what I was talking about, My body whispers to me, nudges me to give it what it needs, and then screams, moans and creaks if I ignore the subtle whispers.

Today it was in the form of a craving, A little inclination that I had been over doing the " low fat" aspect of my recent diet. My body needed fat, energy, and no ordinary fat at that, I needed something whole, pure and indulgently fatty. I searched the cupboards, ate a few walnuts. when that didn't do the trick, I considered Shortening, - it was the mouth feel, I wanted, but certainly not the flavor...besides, we don't keep Crisco in the house- and I'm not dressed to visit Horny Devils boutique today ( don't ask)

Finally I settled on a perfectly ripe, perfectly shaped Avocado, chock full of fatty acids and with a delicious buttery velvet texture. A simple sprinkling of salt and squirt of lime, and I dug in.
I should have stopped after a few bites, it was rich, but I don't do anything halfway-and besides it was good! I devoured the entire thing. And now I feel a bit nauseated, but I can't throw up, because imagine what that would look like, spewing baby poo from my mouth, it would make me vomit-Again. And the cycle would continue, forever.

Are you wondering why we are friends right now? I thought so.

  1. Hi my sweetie. I couldn't find this place until I received your email. I am SO out-of-the-loop! I wish I could get IN the loop so I'd know what was going on with all my kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. lol I could NOT believe the size of that spider in your car. Good Grief! He would almost make a bbq meal. IF one is so inclined. lol ICK! I would have freaked out and been running to the nearest hotel. Dangaroo. I don't much like bugs anyway, but those two were a pair that I would relinquish my house and car to rather than deal with them. The kids have grown already. I can see it, clear as day. Noah is a little boy now and Taylor, good grief, she looks like a pre-tween. I can hardly wait to see them again.
    We are having hot weather right now. Tomorrow is a "spare the air" day and old folks like me are supposed to stay inside and behave. LOL Yeah, like that's gonna' happen. I will, however, make my "bank trip" in the morning hours, before it gets too hot. The solar panels are already on at the pool and it is looking so beautiful. I have tons o' lily pads in the waterfall pond. I just hope the "critters" don't eat them all again. lol Charlie brought one home to me yesterday. It looked awful. I thought it was a big black mole, or rat, but it was just weeds, lots of mud and a lily pad. Scared me silly for a minute or two. He gets SO butt-hurt when I take them away from him and go outside and hide them, leaving him inside, of course. The cats have a new condo/scratching combination and it's been a riot watching them all clamber on it and fight for the highest spot on top or in the little hidey hole for napping. I love it. Well, it's almost midnight and I have to be up early, so I'm gonna' close for now. I'm so glad I found you here, my sweetheart. Kiss and hugs those babies for me and hugs to you and your wonderful hubby. Please, take care of yourselves and each other. I am counting the days. God bless.
    Much love,
    Nana

  2. LOL see you just confirmed why I don't like to eat green things! (you need to add a follow button to make it easier to follow you! I always forget how to go in & do it manually)
