Hi. It's November. November!

It's actually the 4th of November.  I know.  I can't believe it either!   Well time flies and it seems to do so no matter what you're doing as long as you're busy.

Life got a little bit topsy turvy.  My commitment to sustainable living and mostly living foods got stomped all over by....well.....me.   *blush*  Look at the difference a month can make:

Now most things in my sustainable life just "are" at this point so there were no thermostat wars, we didn't give up recycling or start driving the truck down the block to see the neighbors but there were other things.  Our litter free lunches turned into cafeteria lunches (this is a double whammy because it violates the food commitment too!),  I struggled with my biology homework and rather than take the time to write notes I printed massive amounts of pages and highlighted in stead - things like that.

Now for the food.  I think there were a couple of days (not two in a row but at least two occasions) where there was NO FRUIT in the house.  What did we snack on?  Poptarts, candy, chips, cookies - it was insane!  AND....by some cruel twist of biology and metabolism, every single ounce I ate turned into a POUND on my rear end and my Santa Belly is in full force - just in time for the holidays.  BOOOOOO!

Today I said No More!  I am taking back my life and that is that.  I know this kind of thing usually happens on a Monday but it's Wednesday and this is when it fits into my schedule - you'll see.

Today I opened my trusty Google Calendar and started actually scheduling things like "Make Smoothies" and "Drink Smoothies", "Eat Lunch", "Study",  "Rest/Meditate" and even "Do Housework" <--- the other part of my life that got away from me in October.  Does that seem crazy?  Well I *feel* crazy and I'm ready to not feel that way any more so we're going to be regimented and detailed about how I spend my time.  The little things that get away turn out to be pretty important so I'm not letting them get away anymore.
