We went for “Mexican” tonight.

“DADA!!! CAN WE GO TO MEXICAN FOR DINNER, DADA?”

The Monkey loves Mexican. It’s not so much the food, but the restaurant, and maybe the chips and salsa, and the fried ice cream (which we managed to skip tonight) and the lollipop at the end. Maybe also that fruity mango drink with the sugar granules (granules?) along the rim. SLURRRP!

Anyway, we just got back, and now I’m a little bored with the Golden Globe awards because my favourite movie, of, like, all time right now,  AVATAR hasn’t won anything yet. Yet.

…WISH the Avatar music had won, wahh.

Ooo! And now my whole WEBSITE’s been DOWN for an hour and, YES!, James Cameron has just won Best Director for Avatar. Good. Good. WOOHOO! And GLEE has WON. All is right in the entertainment world.

So I went to a Naturopath for the first time yesterday. I think I’m too exhausted from waiting for them to fix my site, and, still, from the appointment itself, to write in any real detail about it. The 90-minute session involved a lot of emotional work, to my surprise. I went home with some herbal tinctures for my li’l (HUGE) OCD disorder, a binder full of gentle info, and lots of homework — both physical and emotional.

I’ll tell you some more about this seriously great experience later. Arnold Schwarzenegger is introducing Avatar, and I’m still processing the rest of my session. Why I, miss natural “granola” girl, have never been to a naturopathic doctor is a mystery even to me. But, I highly recommend it to everyone wanting to feel their best. And I recommend MY NATUROPATH (Dr. Jennifer Baer), in particular — she’s actually a VERY old friend, and a wise woman in the perfect profession for her. More later.

All I’ll say for now is that today was a good day. We went to the MUSEUM because I wanted to MAKE something of this day (instead of swimming, as I tend to do this time of year, in my head) — a GOOD SIGN. I went to Starbucks and drank a chai latte without guilt, while sitting by myself reading the newspaper book reviews instead of THE HEALTH SECTION — a very GOOD SIGN. I just let everything go.

Oh, and we went for Mexican because…, to cooking a perfect wholesome dinner, I said F*CK IT! And, of course, because the Monkey asked for it. And I may or may not have put the idea in her head.

Love!
