January 16th: On the (Juicing) Wagon

Yuppers, we did it :)


 After being inspired by our dear friends Merlyn and Harry, Mikey and I decided to give juicing a go :) My Mama was kind enough to buy us a basic juicer on super-sale, and we've been doing fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast the last few mornings :) So far they've been mostly citrus based, but OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO GOOD!!! After a few days of experimentation with porportions, here are two morning concoctions we've particularly enjoyed:

-1/2 red grapefruit
-1 blood orange
-2 clementines

and

- 2 clementines
-1/2 bag cranberries


We bought cucumbers, carrots and kale also, we just haven't worked up the gumption for straight vegetable juice yet, but we're getting there. Tomorrow, I think there will be some apple/pear/carrot juice :) In another week or two once we're a little more in the groove I think we'll try a short juice fast to see how it goes. Several of my friends have been experimenting with Juicing lately. Anyone care to weigh in with their favorite recipes?

I'm all ears :)

January 15th: Quickie Vacation Question

Just a quickie for today, as I worked all day and then went straight to rehearsal. Anyone out there have experience with all-inclusive resorts? Which places would you recommend? What times of year? What price-ranges? What should we look for in a good one? What should we avoid? Inquiring minds want to know ;) Help a sister out!

Many Thanks!

January14th: Sorry About Yesterday and Haiku Monday

Hey Ho,

 Deepest Apologies about missing yesterday's blog.  Yesterday was a very good day, just not one where I could sit down and blog. That raises the bigger question of whether I should give myself weekends or maybe Sundays off for good behavior. I'm not sure, I really do want to aim for every day like I've been doing, but the reality of life is that sometimes you just can't sit down in front of your computer to write a blog post. For now, I'm still going to aim for every day, and if weekend blogging continues to be an issue, I'll modify this goal. I've blogged 13 out of the last 14 days, so I'm still calling that a *WIN* :)


 For the record, yesterday was lovely and busy, rehearsals, family time, cleaning, cooking, some good news about my artistic pursuits for the Summer that I'm keeping under my hat for the moment (but I'll share more about it soon!)

And now, Haiku Monday

Happy Monday :)

January 12th: Placeholder Blog

Hey Ho,

 Had no time to sit down and blog today, so I'm just writing these few sentences as a place holder. It's 11:57 pm, so technically I did blog today. Still made it!

January 11th: List Friday

Staring down my 5th 16-hour work day in a row and it's all at the day job. Needless to say, I'm a little burned out right now and anxious for the weekend and even a small amount of rest. So, letting my daydreaming and wanderlust show a little bit in my Friday List for today:



10 Things I'd Rather Be Doing Right Now


-Sleeping

-Having breakfast in bed

-Curling up on my couch with cocoa and some kind of homemade baked good and either a book, a crafty project or watching Netflix

-Cleaning and organizing the apartment

-On a road trip somewhere

-Somewhere tropical, swimming, beach louging, soaking up the Sun, DEAR GOD YES.

-Getting a Spa Treatment

-Cooking

-Spending the day with my friends

-Spending the day with my husband


*wistful sigh*

Happy Friday!

January 10th: Cross One Off The List :)

Morning Sunshines :)

    Slightly less crazy day today, so I can actually take a few minutes more to write a post :) May I draw your attention to the lower right corner of this blog, and to my *Things I Want to Do* List? Just yesterday, I completed #23. Participate in a Flash Mob :) It may have been on a small scale, but it still counts :)


     The past few days I have been co-teaching a mini-course at a local community college for Gifted and Talented 5th-8th Graders. We get four hours with each group (spread over two days). Our mini-course is entitled *Flash Mob Shakespeare*. For this course, we taught the kids some acting basics, taught and blocked a short Shakespeare scene (in this case it was the Prologue/Dumb Show from *A Midsummer Night's Dream*) and then the kids devised ways for them to make the scene into a Flash Mob :) We ambushed two other classrooms (the teachers knew it was coming, but the students didn't), gave the other classes silly hats to wear, and then incorporated them into the scenes by teaching them dance moves and cheers and holding up signs showing different sounds to make (roaring, etc).  I wish I had photo or video of this, but I don't,as my co- teacher and I were the ones orchestrating, we didn't have our cameras with us. Some of the other teachers may have some pictures though, so I will try to get some posted here eventually :)


   So, in short, that's where I've been the last few days :) Flash-mobbing Shakespeare :)

Love. My. Job.

:)
