This film does a good job of interviewing doctors from both sides.

Back again...

Been super busy lately and I have thought about so many great things to post about but have failed in doing so this past month!
Things I have been up to and/or super excited about:

• Ella's hair is starting to get darker! I never thought I would have a blonde baby...
• Whole Foods opened up this month! I have been a juicing crazed woman with all the tasty organic produce they offer!
• I have decided to become a VEGAN! The last two weeks I have been 90% vegan. I think the 3-4 meals on non-vegan happened while hanging out with some of my guy friends. They tempt me with yummy animal products saying "It's just a bite!" ... So I am not a HARDCORE vegan by any means.. Just trying to be healthier. 
• Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr finally arrived Via Amazon and I am about half way into it and love her! She is living with Cancer and it's about the life style change she has made to enable her body to start healing itself. 
• I am going to a Raw/Vegan cooking class next week with a friend
• Looking Forward to dressing Ella up this weekend!
• Need to get my big ol' butt back in the gym... 
• Plan to blog more 

Over all I just feel truly blessed in life.  I love the people I work with and love the work gets to be my break and my going out time while I make money.  I am thankful I have a job that I can work at night so that I can spend my days rising and watching my little girl.  I have a wonderful room mate who is so good to Ella and I.  My family is great especially my mother who treats me better than I deserve. I have two really close friends that always make me laugh and are truly amazing.  Everyone in my life fills me with joy and I say this as Ella is crying and fussing about not getting her way.... time to tend to the greatest joy of all !

NO to GMOs!

Doing a lot of research today and I came across this video!

"Mike's Anti-GMO rap is not only great music, it's just the kind of creative way we need to get the message out to people who may not even know they are eating dangerous genetically modified organisms every day. Great job Mike!"

- Jeffrey Smith, executive director, Institute for Responsible Technology

"Just say no to GMOs is the Battle Hymn for our new Organic Republic. Take action against Monsanto and their mad scientists and indentured politicians."

- Ronnie Cummins, Director, Organic Consumers Association

Warrior Dash 2011

After Finishing the Race

This weekend I Ran in the Warrior Dash.  It was so much harder than the dirty 30! Almost the whole thing was up hill! My calves are still burning! I did not do as well as I wanted to go, but I will be better prepared next year! After the race we also made the dumb choice thinking it would be faster to walk to our car then to wait for a shuttle.  We needing up walking/running around 3 miles to our car after the race in only socks because we donated our shoes.  It was a very very long day.  

I am now training harder and looking for a new race to enter and prepare for! It feels great crossing a finish line! 

I'm Hooked.

I have this best friend and we pretty much discuss everything. However, when he started watching a show that I had never seen before it created this exciting topic for him that I just could not understand.  
Last week I was more or less ordered to start watching this AMC series called Breaking Bad then we would be able to talk again.  I had been meaning to get caught up but never made the time.  Since starting this series I feel like I have to stop watching it and make time for other things like responsible adult stuff!! Seriously this show has stole all ALMOST all my free time. 
I started watching Season one last wednesday and tonight I am on Season three. There are only three episodes left before I will be on the current season and can get back to real life, however will probably suffer from episode withdraws!

Labor Day 2011

My Little Girl IS indeed a CAMPER! 

This week on very very shot notice Ella and  I took our first camping trip together! I worked late Sunday with my best friend Christina as we are closing down the bar at 3am she tells me I should go with her , her little girl, and our friend Dustin.  I am a planner and I like to plan things out so I told her it sounded like fun but in the back of my head knew on this 10 hour notice that I probably wouldn't go! Well in attention to being a planner I am also spontaneous and if talked into something enough will be all for it! On my way to pick up my little girl Monday morning at 10am I received a call from my good friend Dustin who was put in charge by Christina to talk me into going.  It didn't take much convincing for me to say yes.  I picked up Ella, packed up my car as fast as possible, borrowed my friends tent, and then was on the road in less than 2 hours!
Camping with Ella was a lot of fun! She really enjoyed herself and the outdoors! Christina did forget her tent but we lucked out because I borrowed an 8 person tent.  Even with the 5 of us cuddled in one tent Tuesday morning was cold! Plus with the on going fire banned that ment no bon fire....maybe next time..

Ella and Merrit- We made it through the night! 

 My Friend Rusty's Tent is Awwwweome! 

Eating Lunch on the Rode as we head back home- This little girl cracks me up!
