Well, everyone, it's almost summer and we all know what that means: less clothing and more skin showing. Ugh. I'm trying my hardest to get into shape so I might actually feel good about wearing simple things like a t-shirt and shorts. I'm not one of those girls who uses the summer as a way to show off my body; I'm still very conservative. But even with conservative outfits, I'm still feeling a bit too heavy in them. I'm already down 4 lbs according to my scale...I think a lot of that can be credited to the heat! I must have sweat most of it out of me--gross!
I'm reading a new book (we'll see if I actually finish it though haha) called "In Defense of Food, an Eater's Manifesto"...it came out last year or the year before that, but I'm just getting around to picking it up. It's pretty good so far. From what I gather so far, the author seems to be picking a fight with the food marketers who are working hand-in-hand with the scientists to create "nutritionism" over simple food. For example, when addressing what to eat and what not to eat, they are saying words referring to invisible things so as not to piss off the major food industries. Basically, in the 70s, when the government said to eat less meat and dairy, the meat and dairy industries got upset so the government (along with food marketers and scientists) started addressing things as saturated fats and polyunsaturated and antioxidants and carotene, etc...the author feels this is extracting invisible things from actual foods and now all we see on labels are words like the ones I just mentioned vs simple, normal, actual foods. Anyway, if we do this book club thing, I might select that for you all:)

Interview
Well...... It is Saturday and in so many ways it is typical. I had to jump out of bed to get ready....head to the baseball field and then put 2 hours in the snack stand on the hottest day of the year! But in many ways it is not typical , for instance.....right now I am sitting. Doing nothing! LOVE IT!!!!!!! But one thing that makes it different is the automated phone interview I just did! Weird & wild! I had applied for a position in my same field yet at another company and this was the next step. Brillant, that is all I have to say. They totally can get a feel for me, the way I present myself, my speech, intelligence and my phone presence. Let's see what happens next!

Happiness
We all get one life...one, that's it. What we do counts, no matter what. I am learning that this is it and it seems that MY life is not in my hands.
Seriously, think about this.....are you happy.
Well,are you?
I'm not.
At least not like I want to be. Take your job for instance, are you happy there? Do you enjoy what you do? And if you do.... I want to hear from you! My job makes me miserable. I try to put a front on while I am there but all in all, I hate it. 12 years later I am still there.
Why?!?!?!?
Because I have no choice. I am the rock. The one. And I cannot falter. I am slave to my bills and my responsibilities when all I want to do is run away from it all.
It's my life after all. Why do I have to be unhappy?
Why shouldn't I be happy in my ONE life and enjoy it for what it is!?
There are no answers without major life changes.
I just feel as if we should all have control of our own fate and have the ability to make our own decisions and find our own utopia!

Jaded's 4/28 Tangent
I bet the person who invented this holiday or whose job it is to come up with all of these holidays probably does something then makes it a holiday the day after or the day of! Haha. I want that life…
Hmm, I just cleaned out my fridge, now it's a holiday.
I just spoke like a pirate, today is now "nat'l talk like a pirate day"
I am eating eggs, today is "nat'l eat an egg day"
Today is "nat'l wipe coffee off of your forehead day" (ok, that's pushing it)
Last week was national sense of smell day or something like that. I had allergies really badly that day and sadly could not participate

Well I would like to be the first to second Missy's last notion! I do believe that sums it all up:) I have no comments on the first Blog as I do believe that people have been blogging for years, just not necessarily using a computer to do it. I believe that many diaries, articles and Dear Abby's are the pasts form of Blogs and that people somehow think these rantingsare different now that they are typing it onto a screen instead of handwiring it-obviously a thing of the past, but lets not forget it:) Just a thought. What is yours?
