Newborn Grass
Day 2 Sprouts!
Day 5, tall tall!!!
No joke, we go to bed and wake up to 2 more inches of grass!!!! It’s crazy!
Clark decided to set up one of his cameras and capture the grass growing in time-lapse. Once he downloads the footage, I’ll upload it here. WAY COOL to LITERALLY see the grass grow!

Up to date, here is what goes on in a typical day for Clark and I…
Our alarm usually goes off at 6am (ambitious…) and we ‘sleep’ until 8 (tee hee). Clark will go on his morning walk and I sometimes join him, but if I do – it usually happens more towards the afternoon. I am currently attempting to be more of a morning person 
Breakfast will either be cereal, oatmeal, cream of wheat (or cracked wheat), eggs & toast or fruit and yogurt. All depends on our taste buds, but we have options.
Then – also depending on if we actually do wake up earlier or at 8 or 9, we’ll eventually get to work anywhere from 8 – 10am. Currently, Clark and I have a couple BIG web projects that have been on going (thankfully! The economy has hit us, and it hasn’t been fun, but we are so blessed with the work we have!). Between that and other odds & ends jobs we have going on the side, we’ve been able to make it afloat.
For lunch, we might have something like this:
While in UT my Mom gave us her old (still working like new) ‘Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine‘ by George Foreman. It is AMAZING! All you do is spray some zero cal cooking spray (I use Trader Joe’s Canola Oil Cooking Spray) and smash down your sandwich and within 3-5 min it’s done! Wa’la!
A FANTASTIC way to make a tasty low-fat grilled sandwich. 
Clark will usually have a grilled tuna+cheese. I will have either a grilled Tofurky+Soy Cheese w/ Tomatoes or a Grilled Tuna w/ tomatoes, mustard & pickles. Clark will have a mixed salad on the side and I’ll have the same or some cut fresh veggies. ♥
Then when dinner comes along, we’ll have anything under the sun. Depends on how our work day went . Like today for instance, we had a smooth day – so we cooked up some fresh deli fish (that was on sale, YAY!) with some steamed rice, steamed veggies and a tossed herb salad. If our day doesn’t go so smooth, we’ll make something quick, like this:
What is included in the above dinner is : Trader Joe’s Frozen Peas, Sliced Tomato, Trader Joe’s Lightly Breaded Fish Sticks, & Organic Mac ‘n Cheese from Trader Joe’s. Relatively healthy considering the menu, but it’s nice and quick to make when the day has dragged along and you don’t feel like cooking – while still remaining pretty healthy.
Then, hopefully I’ll remember to take my pills. Clark is so good about taking his. Here is what I take:
Clark takes Juice Plus+ and sometimes Excedrin if he has a head-ache.
We both take Juice Plus to ensure we get the proper amounts of Fresh Fruits & Vegetable Nutrients in a day. Since the average person doesn’t get the proper amount, this is the perfect whole food alternative in addition to a fresh fruits & veggies diet. Magnesium is to help with my Dysmenorrhea & also to ensure I get a proper amount within my Vegetarian diet. Vitamin D-3 is because Clark and I don’t get out into the sunshine enough (pssst… it helps with mood swings…).
In closing, Clark made this little display to poke fun at my ‘Apartment Security‘ :
Funny guy!
I’ll leave you with a ‘food for thought’… my Mom and I were talking on the phone and we agreed upon something:
“In hard-times, if I’m going to ‘go down’ I’m going to ‘go down’ healthy and survive a little longer. Because I’d rather spend my money to save my health, rather then save my money and risk my health.”

Been thinking and thinking today… what to write about… drawing a blank…. then I decided, on days where you can’t get your thoughts straight – sometimes you just need a kiss to make the world all better

It’s almost been a week since I last posted on my blog. I know – very odd. Or..errr… maybe not – but it is rare for me.
We have been ultra busy with work, and I have also had major Writer’s Block as I am still overwhelmed by my awesome birthday. I have received so many cards, notes, gifts, ‘party’s’ and comments that have really hit me hard (in a good way). Just soaking it all in while I ride the wave of life here. I’ve needed some quiet time to soak it in for fear it may all slip away. I am enjoying this time to myself.
I will be back soon with lots of words to share. Stay tuned. ♥
p.s. Clark joined Twitter – Follow Him! ♥… when you haven’t heard from me on my blog – check out my Twitter. Sometimes as I have Writer’s Block on my Blog – I sometimes Twitter, because it’s easier at the time.
