Hey there, my FINE FEATHERED FRIENDS OUT THERE! (it’s ok if you have feathers! Amryk said I had HIND LEGS THE OTHER DAY!) HMMMMM…..now where did I put those FRONT legs???!! LOL

Someone accidently let me off the chain, so I took advantage and stopped over here to harass…I MEAN CHECK UP…on a few of YOU while passing thru! Won’t that be grand??? My weekend doesn't look much better either with a couple of back-to-back birthdays to celebrate! I guess that means ya'll are gonna be a BIT SAFER from the looming threat of a Bad Andee attack! That hurricane Ike don't got nothin' on me! hee heee!!

Well, I couldn't help but notice that for the 3rd week in a row, none (did you get that?) NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU...showed up to help out with the lawn mowing again! It's kinda morbidly twisted how your weight goes down and mine keeps creeping upward!! HOW IS IT THAT YOU'RE REAPING THE REWARDS OF MY HARD WORK!!?? LOL

I suppose I'm gaining some new bulky musckles (yeah, I like the way I spelled that!) so that's the reason for the weight gain. IT BETTER BE THAT REASON! I'm running lots of miles every day, and being very good on my diet...so there's NO OTHER REASON, NOW IS THERE?! (Unless Paige is STANDING on my scale to get back at me!) as if i'd do that to HER or something!! sheeesh!

OK, so let's change the subject! That’s always a fun thing to do, right?! I'm sure since it's FRIDAY, you all have RENEWED ENERGY...so now you're more than capable of switching gears suddenly on my journal AND keeping up for once!!! Here comes a left turn...and then another left, a right, a right and a final left/right!! (That means there's a bend in the street and then a dead end!) :) don’t worry! There will be a search party on duty for all of you that lack GPS!

It's time to get educational, class! How about a tiny lil' tour thru the vineyards?! Let's see if I can get ya a picture to stimulate your brain cells! hmmmm....lemme look in this ol box over here....

Oh yeah! Here’s one!
This is the shortest rows of vines by our house...which is a good thing! The sand is so soft right now that you'll sink down to your shins if you venture out far enough! I knew if I stayed close to home while taking these risky shots for YOU, someone would be around to save me if I got stuck! (I kinda was hoping I WOULD get stuck out there…I had this hot steamy kiss planned for my knight in shining armor who dared risk his life to save me…but alas! The only lips in earshot that day belonged to the neighbor’s big ol dog! I guess a lil kiss from him on the cheek is OK…hmmm…not quite the ending I expected, now was it!)

ok, so i'm off to find some trouble! OR I'm hoping that trouble will find me! THAT WAY I'M SURE I'LL HAVE A GREAT TIME!

Gosh, it’s going to be a great day! They’ve fired up that Hadron Collider in Europe…and…we’re all still here! Of course, they say it’ll be months before it’s operating at its full potential, so I guess we have MONTHS yet of CrackSecret fer shure!! Any extra time to LIVE beyond that will be a gift from God! I’d LOVE to insert insane laughter right about here…..(((………))) but this sh## just scares the hockey sticks outta me! AIN’T NOTHING LIKE LETTING OUR FREEDOM TO LIVE AND BREATHE, BE DECIDED BY A BUNCH OF SCIENTISTS THAT WE HAVE NO REASON TO TRUST! so…moving on!

I’m so happy that I woke up this morning! (See previous paragraph!) I’m going to live it up today! I’m going to be extra GOOD! I’m going to stop whining about that muscle I pulled in my leg last night while performing Extreme Sudoku in the gym! (That’s Jogging on the treadmill in case you’re a bit mystified at the lingo!) I’m going to be proud to have a jar of peanut butter on that pantry shelf, instead of fretting over it’s acidic value! Heck, I just might keep my mismatched socks on today…just for the heck of it! (Even though I have lots of errands to run today!) LOL

I ran 8 miles last night! It took me close to 2 hours because I walked a few of those miles. Well!! I figured it would be foolhardy to all-out RUN, considering I hadn’t exactly been standing upright for very long! It felt exhilarating!! I really love running, it’s very addictive! It makes me thankful that I have my own treadmill! I get to avoid the gym, and thereby AVOID running into Simille! She already said she’d be more than happy to strangle my jogging-happy self! LOL I was so close to being sent to the Great Treadmill in the Sky!! Shoot! And here I am worrying about the Hadron Collider…!!

MUCH MUCH LOVE FOR YOU ALL!

I 'spose I better journal here before I get more angry fans bombing my mail box! AT LEAST IT'S NOT A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING! It's more like a run-by fruiting!!! I love ya'll too!! ;) What would I do without YOU?! I shudder at the thought!!

I'm fine, just fine! Here! I’ll write this ridiculous ranting to prove it! :) Here goes!

I'm back to shake things up around here! BUT...LOL...It’s all I can do to keep up with all of you lately…just a little under the weather, I am! my fingers are not flying around on the keyboard as usual! they're tripping over each other clumsily!! HOWEVER! I’ll be back at my usual destructive pace in no time! HAVE NO FEAR!!

Poking my nose around, I can see that most of you have been sticking to that diet!!? (I mean NEW WAY OF LIFE!). The only thing I find that I truly miss these days (in my new way of life) is the chewing GUM! I love gum! sniff....could eat a whole pack right now...I have to FIND some that’s not loaded with a bunch of chemicals and such; any ideas?? Someone already suggested that I try chewing on my shoe strings! Great!! Now everyone is a comedian!! LOL

I’m in a rut on food choices!! A RUT! When I’m feeling lazy and neglectful, I reach for the convenience shelf in MY pantry! The only thing on it is peanut butter! Whole and natural, of course, but very acidic to the body and I probably shouldn’t be reaching for it THAT MUCH! Lunch is either nuts or a small salad. Dinner is where I put most of my effort, but lately it’s pathetic! Always some type of meat (which I pick at!) with salad. Veggies like broccoli and cauliflower, fresh spinach, have fallen to the wayside!

I've missed running since last Thursday, but I'm going to give it a try tonight, now that I'm feeling a bit stronger. I'm sure the Sudoku will keep me popping off every minute or so like a Mexican Jumping Bean, to fill in the puzzle gaps!

My latest experiment; With all the running, I'm focusing on protein! Eggs are on the menu for breakfast everyday...but I’m hoping to benefit from the soy protein powder (which is expensive, BTW!) I just bought. Gotta ensure that I’m getting all the proper combinations of fatty-acids, isoflavones AND protein!

So you see! I'm still kicking over here! REST ASSURED! You have to know that being BAD ANDEE constantly means that Karma will pay me a visit more often that not...and kick my butt for my rotten ways!! BUT...when she leaves, which I can already see her packin up...YOU better run and hide! your journals are NOT safe from ME!! LOL

What are all my buddies up to on this nice Sunday evening?? You wouldn’t believe what I’ve been up to! ABSOLUTELY NOOOOO GOOD!! THAT’S WHAT!! Lol

Ok!!! Truthfully, I’m so interested in nutrition and health. There are so MANY facets/fractures to a daily diet, some ambiguous, that make up the whole picture of perceived perfect health. We always talk about avoiding this/that on our diets, but seldom do we look at the big picture or take a moment to read our body’s output (blood, saliva and urine) a better indicator of where we stand health-wise. I’ve been studying the particulars of body pH . It is very interesting how certain types of food and lack of other types of food can put your body in a state of ‘imbalance’. Many times we never associate our feelings of bloating, swelling, and sluggishness, colds, viruses, etc. to the fact that we are out of balance on body pH. Yeah, you heard me right! Acidity vs. Alkalinity!! Now I know how you all JUST LOVE when I pour my fountain of knowledge on ya…LOL…you squirm, fall asleep, throw paper airplanes, and even go so far as to tap your fingers loudly on your desks and sigh loudly!! So, no more details for YOU on that subject!

Guess what?! Good news!! The crop is picked (grapes) and is now lying on the ground, basking in the sun on their paper trays! They’ll remain there for approximately 2 weeks, and then they’ll get rolled up like big paper tortillas, for another week before getting hauled off to the market! Another season bites the dust!! Now, I’m afraid the best thing I can send you in the mail, is a lil’ box of raisins…no more fresh grapes to munch on! All you carb counters would be happy to know that you’re not missing anything, though! The sugar content on the grapes this year is in the “B or Better” category! That just means the grapes are WAY TOOOO SWEET! Good news for us as farmers, bad news for us carb counting grape eaters!!
