So, I’m psychic now. (Work with me here.) I can’t tell the future or anything, mostly because I don’t believe the future’s set in stone. But, I’ve been more open to spiritual experiences. And, you know, the yoga and the stones and the meditation — all of it opens your mind up to experiences beyond the mundane.
It’s GREAT being psychic more spiritual, let me tell you. Life is TRAY more exciting. But, problem is, it’s affecting all my MACHINES. Like, for example, yesterday, I took Monkey and Rascal for a walk, and I had this, erm, experience, and WAMMO, my IPOD went bust. Oh, don’t worry — Josh fixed it, thankfully (for whatever would I do SANS IPOD?). And, then, today? Less than 24 hours after said experience occurred, my email — ALL MY EMAIL LIKE EVER — disappeared! I’m serious. I opened my email program to find the peeps from Microsoft inviting NEW EMAIL USER to set up NEW ACCOUNT. Sweet. NOT SWEET. Oh, don’t worry — Josh fixed it.
Speaking of Josh…. He has just watched two episodes of The Young and the Restless and, now, my favourite show — THE TUDORS — with me. It’s the least I could do to repay him for putting me through too many of HIS shows. My days of Fringe, Prison Break, Dextor, and, what else, 88 MINUTES (can you believe he rented THAT for us, FOR ME?), ARE O-V-A-H OVAH! I fully blame 88 Minutes for that HORRIFYING nightmare I had the other night.
And, HENCE, you can BLAME Josh for yesterday’s intense and disturbing post because if we hadn’t been watching HIS Prison Break show, then I wouldn’t have searched for a picture of Wentworth Miller, and then I wouldn’t have found that HORRIFYING video, and I probably would be eating dairy and eggs still. But, alas, this is my fate: animal lover, animal helper. It’s no wonder that, on that walk I took with the Monkey and Rascal, I saw this beautiful cat (that looked just like my Simba!) way up high in the vines on the side of a house….

Do you see her? She’s in there somewhere. Here, try this pic….

See her? See the birds taunting her? Probably not…. They were sooo, like, “ha ha! come and get us!” It was WILD!
The cat’s owner joined us as we watched her — all of us hoping she’d make her way down. And, you know what the cat’s name is? Angel. That cat’s name is Angel….
I’ll leave you to deduce the beautiful, rather intricate, syncronicity of ALL of this (or not)…. It’s a stretch, but it’s there…. And, yeah, it was then that my Ipod went bust for the first time EVER.
And, it was shortly thereafter that I was hit over the head by my cause….

Anyway, I spent some time reading up on my new diet this morning. With Rascal. In bookstore. If you’re going to go vegan, you HAVE to make sure you’re getting all the nutrients, etc.. So, a little homework was in order. Homework, however, was not without its adorable distractions….

It wasn’t as relaxing as the previous picture suggests. The kid doesn’t sit still. Ever.

Did you see his lil Nikeys? He is TOO. MUCH.
By the way? GREAT day today. GREAT. He slept for 5 minutes. And Monkey crapped her pants while I was teaching yoga. The poor woman who was watching her was KIND enough to clean up the (warning: understatement) mess. I want to give her a little gifty. She’s not into Starbucks, but she does love reading books, so I’m thinking Big Bookstore (Chapters / Indigo in Canada) gift certificate?

P.S.: More updates to come on Cheaty Recommends. I have some little yoga pieces I want to share, for example, and some recent movie rentals. Will get to it pronto. And, to make helping my cause easier for everyone, and by popular demand (THANK YOU!), I’ll be posting several vegetarian recipes on Cheaty Kitchen also pronto. I have several contests lined up, as well, but am still in “just chillin’” mode….

I went to bed Sunday night and read while Gord watched “Dexter”. I still don’t dig that show.
Good luck with the veganism. I taught Excel yesterday and a woman in the class said that she has been a vegetarian since she was three. Three!!?? What a huge decision to make at that age! Her mom wasn’t too pleased since she is a meat ‘n potato eater.

ahem…i LOVE Dexter…
LOL..love the craping in her pants story ‘cuz I could write the book on ‘how many ways your kid can crap her pants’ … AS YOU know most things I do are unconventional but they have worked so I will tell you one of my little crappy stories (’scuse the pun). As you know I have had lots a problems with Kalin and toilet training was a major one…so instead of getting mad and all that I told her to crap her pants. YEP gave her permission to…truthfully it was more like I DEMANDED that she crap her pants and she freaked and now we only deal with skid marks !
L8tr, Mel

That’s funny how Mel told her kid to crap in her pants…but it kinda is like the smother mother thing. I bet Monkey would be freaked out by the thought and quit doing it. The other extreem is to set a timer and make her go every hour. She’ll throw a fit cuz the reason she’s going in her pants is she doesn’t want to quit playing to go.
That cat story is weird…of course there are lots of cats that look similar, but for you to see that one hiding in a tree and her name is Angel is interesting.
oh and I’ve givin up watching most tv shows for the Food network…that probably won’t go so well with your vegan thing. You might have better luck on the Fitness channel.

thanks for the good laugh about your GREAT finish to the day.
Good luck with vegan. I love to eat meatless, but I agree it is very difficult so I will look forward to hearing how you are doing and checking out your recipes.
