If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your LJ and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

cajun catfish and sauteed red, yellow, and green bell peppers. I'd just like to say that I love my new cookbook.

Tasty tasty dinner. and so healthy!

I know that looking in the face of world hunger and responding by wondering why we can't spread some of the food around so that the USA can stop eating itself to death and that the 2/3rds world can stop starving is a naive response, but I really really don't understand it! What if I don't get out of nursing school before my heart is all broken to pieces. Why would I stay in the US and fix people who have made themselves sick when there are others who don't have the resources to be healthy?? *sigh*

happy drinking games and friendy times.

also I fully enjoyed whipit. and i've started writing our wedding ceremony and so far I fucking love it.

the end.

Dear Modern Society,

Why do so many of you reject naturopathy when it is so clear from very little research and learning that we indeed are what we consume. The fact that our food becomes the make up of the cells in our body? That if you eat transfat it becomes what your cell membranes are made of? That what we consume effects how much CO2 our lungs release? That there are even foods that kill parasites! kill cancer, etc?
But no. We would rather someone give us a bunch of chemicals to consume to ignore our symptoms, and screw with our body make up then to have someone suggest that we change the way we eat.

Please, for the health of future generations. Can't we reject the stigma and embrace the knowledge and then act on it? 

Love,

Christine

I now don't have classes on Wednesdays OR Fridays!!! 

I have my happy face on.

sad. teeth.

:(

I've been awfully lazy of late. Still don't have the damned save the date cards out. Still haven't made the house spotless. Still haven't rearranged the furniture for the up coming new inhabitant. Ive just been

stuck.

Stagnant.

in front of this damned computer. I have been feeling sorta crappy. My neck has been in ridiculous amounts of pain which has been inhibiting a lot of my motivation I think But also this is sort of the semester that decides the rest of my life, which is scary as hell. And I think I'm a little stunned by it. shocked into attention so much that I have not been the student I can be. I need to kick my self in the ass really quickly or i'm going to lose this opportunity and be back in the shitty ass jobs I've done in the past. I don't think that's something I can handle.

Tomorrow Ian and I are going camping!! I can't wait. we have firewood and a lantern ian's sister got him for his birthday and coffee percolator i got ian for christmas and fantastic tent that we got a couple of years ago. We'll go and sit around the fire reading and chatting and warming ourselfs and eating roasted marshellows and hot dogs. the next morning we'll wake up and be so warm and cozy in the tent that we won't want to step out into the cold. But we will. and Ian will build a beautiful fire whilest I start to clean up. And then he'll make eggs and bacon on the fire and cowboy coffee--Louie L'amoure style--and we will stomp around the pretty grounds and make daydream-plans to build our first home right in the middle of the woods we camped in. And maybe we'll run around a little or climb trees or go for a hike. And then we'll back up and come home. Ian will open at work and I'll clean this house up and get started on doing my homework like a good girl.

And that's that. No More Excuses!

So, lots has happened since I posted last. Ian and I got engaged. The wedding is gonna be March 13, 2010. I'm finishing up my nursing pre-requisites. We live in Flagstaff Arizona, which is sort of like Seattle's punk little brother. And soon we're getting an Alisha as a roommate!!!!
