Dizzy Blondes: 

No spinning, due to sinus issues.

Strategy:

Look at life's big picture and stop interfering with your own happiness. Don't block your own happiness by staying caught up in anger or bad feelings. And you have to make decisions about this for the long run: will a short-term gain be worth a longer-term loss? Or vice-versa?

Put a Lid On It:

Pickled beets in process. Nom nom nom! Layer any hard root veggie--turnips, beets, rutabagas--in the crock pot over night with a puddle of water in the bottom on low overnight. Then cook  any way you like.

Aw Shoot!

FINALLY back to running and planking. Down 19 pounds.

Something I Really Like:

Pic's Peanut Butter from New Zealand. Ohhhhhhhh yeeessss.

The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle Earth. Find the app in the Mac online app store.

Blather:

A class on Skype! Life is sunny! I killed my Fitbit and replaced it.

Rattlesnake Avoidance Clinic on March 23rd!

Summer Mindfulness Retreat in Camarillo, CA--looking at June. $50 to attend.
