This is just a note to let you cats and kittens know that I'm alive and well.
I've had a very tumultuous few months in adjusting to self-employment.
My temper has been short and my blood pressure has been high.
I've learned that I can make sacrifices that I didn't think I could make. I no longer go through a two liter of Coca-Cola a day because that's an exorbitant waste of money and not very healthy to boot ...
I initially had dropped my TV service because every dime I had was needed for something more important than TV .... But after about a week of living without Comcast Cable, it occurred to me that I really don't need them .. after all, it's 2011 - I can see pretty much everything I want to see "online". Better still, I can watch it whenever I want - suffice it to say my lack of a "regular paycheck" has caused me to be a bit more creative with how my money is spent ... and I think I kind of like it :)
NOW, about that Coffeemate ....
Many of you are familiar with my mom, Kay - affectionately called "Fidget" by me because she does, in fact create things to worry about in many situations and chatter frantically about them. HOWEVAH - she has a knowledge about alternative medicine and holistic healing that amazes me. That knowledge has become a passion for the study of things like "food additives". In today's blog, she discussed very specifically Coffeemate Creamer - HOWEVAH as her PR consultant, I'm going to discuss with her the possibility of changing that to "Powdered Creamer" ;)
ANYHOO - I've thrown away my Coffeemate - the link is below and I hope that you'll take a few minutes to read it. She gets a little twisty and hard to follow at times, but she really does know her stuff on this topic...
In perusing her blog archive you'll find many other posts on things such as natural health, holistic healing, the Blue Zone people, the kindness movement, 29 Days of Giving, the Geezer Adventures. She posts nearly daily and we're not long from redoing her "tags" and such so that her topics will be more "easily naviagatable" :)
