Enchanting Juno

Scenes from a life

I am very attached to green vegetables - I must tell you about the nutrition cow I had last week - and so I stopped at the cute cheap gourmet place with the local produce on the way home from yoga.  Because I et all the ones I had last night.

I am in line behind what I realize slowly is a very cute man.  Plaid flannel shirt, nicely fitting, in flattering autumn shades, flat cap worn well, nice shoulders.  Unfortunately, a beard, but a handsome and well maintained example of the breed.  I am deciding if he is old enough to hit on and if I want to bother, all post workouty and rumpled as I am, when I notice his groceries.

Bread.  The good square Pepperidge Farm white that makes beautiful toast.
Sausage.  The exquisite gourmet breakfast links I have admired but refused to shell out for in the past.
A dozen eggs.
A jar of nutmeg. 

There is no way I am getting the attention of a man with those hopeful groceries.

He leaves and the sales clerk starts to ring up my broccoli and I say - "That guy?  SO has a date tonight.  One he is very optimistic about the outcome of."

And she grins at me and says "Oh yeah, that is a love breakfast if I have ever seen one"

And we look at him getting in his truck and I say - "good luck, dude, good luck"

But we cannot figure out the nutmeg.  Can you put that on eggs?

Hai!

I got distracted there.  I always do. 

So thank you for all the hosting recommendations.  I looked at a bunch of stuff but in the end the awesome Sweater Project David led me to Google Apps which let me set up a free account WITH my domain name and then forwarded it to my regular gmail account so it's all seamless and shit, at least once David explained what an MX record was and how to update it. Yay for David.

And yay for google which better stay not evil because I dunno if I can give them up

For those have you who have experienced my incredible bouncing email account, this should all be a thing of the past.  Email at will. 

The only channel that ever has anything on is BBCAmerica.   And yet I am watching a Nora Roberts Lifetime movie.  I used to like her books but either my perspective has changed or the translation to film is awkward.  Everything seems imbued with a kind of fake-gothic-quasi-hardboiled demeanour that's hard to take seriously.  Also, there are a lot of hostage events in this (apparently) medium sized town.
Not that this is stopping me from watching.
OK she just shot her own car in frustration.  Not that I don't sympathize.  But really.

She's got some great sweaters though.

I love Twitter.  Unfortunately, it diverts potential blog ideas into 140 character snippits.  I have a short attention span. 

Today was really beautiful.  Driving with the windows open and great music on the first fine spring day of the year is one of life's great pleasures.   I car danced and I am not ashamed to admit it.

I ate too much Indian food today and it gave me a headache.  I've noticed this about sugar recently, headaches.  I had a food aversion during the kidney stones and ended up caffeine free - which has stuck - and sugar free - which has not, particularly during PMS. 
But now when I over do it, I get a headache.  So is there sugar in Murg Tikka Masala? Navratan Korma? There BETTER not be sugar in the lemon rice, cause it rocks my world. 

New favorite beverage:  Filtered water with a lot of lemon juice.  I know, do I know how to party or WHAT?  Hydration is my new religion.

I tried to explain to my mom that lip and nose piercings aren't even all that radical anymore and I should totally get my nose pieced for my 40th.   She was...unconvinced, shall we say?   I can't decide if I was serious or just winding her up.  I guess we'll see.

I'm in love with yoga.  I'm going four times a week and rearranging my life to make it five.    I have this weird leg/hip problem that has been a problem for like, 4 years.  Gone.  I can sleep in any position I want now too, which my spine has been unwilling to discuss for  - 5 years maybe?  Plus I feel amazing.  This is after three weeks.  I am crazy with curiosity to see what happens over the next six months.  (Yeah, yeah, I KNOW you told me I'd love it.  Times and season, my dear, times and seasons.)

Reading: Titus Groan (slowly) (very dense and very good)

Knitting:  Baby Cables (also slowly)

Watching a bit too much TV cause jumping from weights once a week through kidney stones into weights once and yoga four times per week has left me a tiny bit wiped (by 'tiny bit' you should understand I mean utterly flattened), but energy is coming back up.  Soon I will dig out of my couch nest.

Hope you are all well.
