The art of procrastination.

pro‧cras‧ti‧nate [proh-kras-tuh-neyt, -pruh] –verb (used without object) 1. to defer action; delay: to procrastinate until an opportunity is lost. –verb (used with object) 2. to put off till another day or time; defer; delay.

I'm not one to procrastinate, but I guess that is what Nutella and banana does to a girl. Here are the new things I have tried since leaving good 'ol Arizona:

First time handler of an alpaca.
First time believer of superheroes.

First time milking a goat... also last.

First 50/50 on my birthday.

First time catching the sunrise over Lake Tahoe.

First time as triathlon groupie.

ok, my books, they call to me.

Needs improvement.

Morning Julia,

As you happily eat your cereal and banana, let me remind you of what you need to improve upon:

1 Peter 3:8-11
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."

Your Heavenly Father

September babies.

To all September babies, may this be your life prayer.

Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice and let me sing
always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as You choose.

Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for Thee.

Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour
at Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.


Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for Thee.

Heaven.

This weekend I went to heaven, Candy Heaven. Free candy samples for most candies and all salt-water taffies if eaten in-store. I bought over a pound of salt-water taffy for their health benefits. :o)

These are the other healthful foods I ate this weekend:

Friday: 3-egg omelette with mushroom, avocado, ham, and swiss cheese and glass of OJ juice. BBQ chicken with grilled asparagus, corn, rice, and an ice cream cone with chocolate and nuts.

Saturday: Jamba juice, Costco polish sausage and soda, churro (which I shared making it calorie-free), fruit, chow mein, Korean BBQ, Chinese salad, olive oil and herb chips, mini-quiche, more corn, and birthday cake.

Sunday: Kashi granola bar, dimsum, apple, tapas (mussels, prociutto, and grilled vegetables) with foccacia bread, zuppo ingless (think of fruit tiramisu with grand marnier instead of rum).

Monday: French toast with fruit, too much salt-water taffy, 3 slices of pizza, 2 scoops of salad, 1 slice apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream and watermelon.

Needless to say, a deliciously fun-filled weekend. I'm so lucky to go back to reading torts, haha...
