February this and that:

Yesterday I ate broccoli, why you might ask, well because it's supposed to be good for you, and I actually really like broccoli.

However, my body/stomach/intestines think that broccoli is the devil, and yesterday afternoon, it felt like the devil was in my belly, trying to punch his way out of me!  By 5:19 p.m. thankfully, AFTER I was home from work, my body expelled the green devil up and out my esophagus and mouth in a violent upheaval.  It was awful!

Fine be that way,

My dr. told me to eat better....I tried....and my body said NO SIR!  So when I go back to see Ole Doc. Wehri on Monday, I'm going to tell him it's not my fault, i tried, and was outvoted.  my trashcan, my stomach and my gut says YOU EAT BROCCOLI, cuz we aren't!

So far 2014 and the end of 2013 have been terribly cold.  This morning I ran outside to start my truck, I had no coat on, my hair still damp, in a dress, and it didn't feel "that cold".  I mean, it was cold, but I think I've been freezing for so long, that Mother Nature has converted me into half snow-woman, half Arctic Seal.

I gotta admit, if I have to be a ball of blubber, might as well be a CUTE ball of blubber!  Aren't Arctic Seals just freaking adorable?!?

My birthday is this week, I'm turning 36, and it seems like....HOLY SHIT, how can i possibly be 36 years old, how did this happen to me, and who approved such a thing!?  I don't FEEL 36!  Well, mentally anyway, physically I feel about 110!  Damn aches and pains.

Monday I went to the Chiropractor and you know what she told me?!?!  She said that I had 2 ribs out of place, (which would explain the fact that I couldn't breathe too good), my finger was jammed and I now have "plantar fasciitis" in my left foot!  I mean, am I falling apart or am I falling a part?!?!

Please, someone in their 40's tell me it gets better!  Please?!?!?  It does right?!??!  If not, lie to me, I need to stay optimistic!

Valentines day this week, are you lovers ready to celebrate?  What's your ideal way to send such an occasion?  Dinner?  Movies?  Candlelight interludes in the boudoir?

I personally think "flowers" are awesome for Valentines day, mostly because Valentines day comes in the dead of winter here in Ohio, and something about seeing a bright, cheery, wonderful smelling flower, really just boosts one's mood.  *takes a deep breath*....I can almost smell them now...can't you?

{Best Chocolate in the WORLD}

Chocolate are also a big hit, but then, when ISN"T chocolate a big hit?  I mean seriously, I could eat chocolate every day of my life and never think I was abusing it!  I personally am a really big fan of WHITE chocolate....I think it has something to do with the fact that my redheaded self is practically an albino, so I'm drawn to things that are as pale as i am!  The albino likes albino Chocolate!  Go ahead, poke fun, it's ok, i can take it!  But if you make me mad, beware, I'll flash you and the blinding effect my paleness gives off will blind you for a week!  Don't say you haven't been warned!

----------------------------------

On another note, I think as you get older, and old fair-weather friends fade away, you begin to really start to love the friends you have with a passion that is unmatched by anything else.  And the friends you've had since you were kids, aren't just your friends, but are your family, you're truth, your mirror of not just who you are, but who you are to them.  Or perhaps as we get older, we love more maturely!....there's no more pettiness, there's no more getting offended, or spiteful in love....as we get older, we know there's no time for such foolishness.

I like that about aging.  that some things really DO get better with time...not necessarily our bodies on the outside, but I think our insides do, especially our hearts, our minds....our souls.  What do you think?  Have you noticed it too?

In closing, I would like to share some good news!  Many of you have asked how things were going with the book I'm working on, and I kept telling you that something was missing...and that I could NOT continue to write until I found out what that was....well, I'm happy to announce, that I think I found what's missing, it's going to take some re-working the story, and some deleting some of what's been written, but I think the missing link has been found, and I can finally move forward!  You have no idea how relieving this is!  There's nothing worse than being mid-story, and know that something's missing, and having no idea what that something is!?  But there's nothing better than when you FIND what's missing.  Does that make sense?

Well, guys, in case I don't get to tell you on the day of:  HAPPY VALENTINES DAY from me, I hope you are loved, and hugged and kissed til you just can't stand it!  I hope you get to smell flowers, even if they are someone else's, I hope someone gets you, or shares some chocolate with you, and I hope that whether you're in a relationship or not, that love shows up in one form or another and makes you feel like a million bucks!
