Raw @ MindSay

Went to work this morning at 8 am. To find the usual left over mess from the night before. Oh well, at least it was a slow morning, cleaning up after them at least gave me something to do.  Well, anyway I felt there after an uneventful day.

I came home at 430. Where dinner was waiting. So, I went and got changed, and came back to the kitchen for dinner. It was a baked potato, and salsbury steaks. For desert cheesecake. Afterward I retired back to my room. I turned on my TV and set up my viewing scheadule for the night. Star trek, local news, nightly news, CSI , monday night raw, and late news or bed.

That's pretty much a typical working day for me any day of the week. Definalty almost every single monday of my life. So, what do that think?

Let's see what else is on my mind? The question posted for yesterdays blog has got a nice amount of responces. Although it really hasn't help me much in my quest to find the perfect necklace for everyday of my life. So, lets expand on it? Pirate pendants? Your thoughts, if any?

Also I am off tomorrow. With no plans that I know of. God only knows what I will do. As I have nothing else to include I guess this brings this blog to a close.

wool as it comes from the sheep is a mess. stucks and mud and turds and tons of oil. R. from  my weaving class  gave me three huge garbage bags and I decided to wash some of it as it's a sunny day. bad decision. after three soaking and  rinsings it is still smelling like a sheep shit and now i have soggy wool that smells of excrement hanging off the rails of the outsoor circular staircase.  tomorrow i will wear rubber gloves and go through the black wool little by little, picking out turbs and other not so great elements if I am going to use this for art snd thrn put small batched in the washing machine in muslin bags.

J is back from SE Asia and it was great to see her again and hear about the trip. It's a joy when a neighbor also becomes a friend.

and yes I did mention death twice  in my last blogisher and yes it was subliminal.

a freudian slip = when you mean to say one thing and say a mother.

I was looking up some recepies and info about vegans yesterday and after reading a few personal stories, I was drawn to the idea of going raw. That means not eating any cooked foods (at least above a certain temperature which kills the enzymes and essentially kills the food), just raw fruits, vegitables nuts, etc. At first I thought, "holy crap, that's extreme." But then I slept on it and the whole idea is actually very appealing. The thing I reminded myself of is that when I decided to go vegan, my mom said, "that's going to be hard, what will you eat?" and I told her, "that's what meat eaters think about us vegetarians, but we know they're wrong, we eat plenty of stuff." Now I see that being vegan is not hard at all and there is still more than plenty good things to eat!

So if meat eaters thing that vegetarians have nothing to eat, and some vegetarians think vegans have nothing to eat, then what don't I, as a vegan, know about raw fooders? I looked up some recepies today and there is a whole crap load of things for raw foodists to eat! It's amazing!

So from right now, I'm pretty sure I'll end up going raw. I decided to let the whole vegan thing settle in with my mom and when I get home from seeing my grandparents this summer, I'll present the raw idea to her. I'm sure after a little hessitation and my showing her I'll still remain a healthy, happy gal (even more so, keeping a strict raw food diet is proven to help, even eliminate depression and stress) I'm about 95% sure she'll let me go on with it.

It's so exciting! I felt good when I grew up and realized the real meaning of being a vegetarian, then I went vegan and felt even better about life, and now just the thought of going raw is . . . ah! It's great. Life is great.

Peace, Love, and Respect
