Happy 100th post and my brother is so cool.

Meet Rory. He is my brother and this is us when we were just weee little munchkins. He totally looks like Yoda.

So, I get a call from Rory today saying he's driving to Boise to open for one of his favorite bands of all time! Theyre called Three drops of Blood...or Three days of Blood...or something totally creepy like that, anyways theyre HUGE in the metal world. I am sooo excited and happy for him and cant even tell you all enough.

He's an amazing guitarist and completely self taught, and even though I dont think he likes to be labeled a singer-he is one. A dang good one. His band is called Threshold and they're kinda blowing up....so watch out world! And remember you heard of him from me first =)

p.s....im hungry.

p.s.s.....10 days is a really long time

p.s.s.s....(if theyre were such a thing) HAPPY 100th POST TO ME! YAY!

p.s.s.s.s.....It probably wouldnt be weird to say "and" a couple more hundred times in this short post.

Ease-in day of The Master Cleanse

So we decided to do the Master Cleanse....this is Bronson's first time and my second. Well I should say my first time too. I attempted it last year but only lasted 3 days, although I remember feeling better than ever with no headaches at all for those three days- I don't remember why I quit. This time were planning to do the full 10.

Wish us luck!

This journey started last week when Bronson was continually complaining about back pain, headaches, and low energy. He's on his feet for 10+ hours a day and never gets to sit down, so his back has taken a brutal beating in the last 2 months. On top of that our diets have gone completely down hill. Probably worse than they have ever been.

We've gotten into the habit of eating the best buttery popcorn while watching our shows late at night. And then we started adding M&Ms to it.... And then we would would be thirsty and have a coke-all around 11pm/midnight.

eeww I'm embarrassed writing that. But, its true. And it gets worse..

Brons eating Chipotle or greasy pizza everyday for lunch, and me finishing off everything Zu lady wouldn't eat so there would be no waste. So all this added up, plus the husbands misery and pain, called for a serious and drastic change. After a trip to the chiropractor and a ton of research we decided this cleanse was whats best way to kick off the change and feel healthy for the both of us.

Today were consuming only Superfood, nuts, and oranges. Me... 1300 calories worth and Bronson 1800 calories worth, so our bodies don't go into starvation mode. Then from here, only fresh organic lemons, organic grade b maple syrup, and Cayenne pepper...all worth 1300 and 1800 cals for 10 days. After that theres an ease-out period of at least three days where you can only eat fresh live foods, and organic soups. You slowly introduce new foods in small increments after that.

I'm letting you all in on our Master Cleanse so maybe we have some accountability...? I don't want to screw this up and although I know its going to be extremely difficult and not fun maybe writing down the process will keep me motivated!

I would love to read any thoughts or experiences any of you might have had with this!

Lately...

Ive become pro at making Costa Vida's Pork Salads. Really, I am the master.

And found old pictures of the fam at LA Live.

Zuri still continues to refuse to wear clothes. She also has started saying even odder things than normal and throwing bigger fits.
example: I put her in time out 2 days ago and instead of her just sitting there and pouting like normal, she full on tried to fist fight me...all the while screaming "this is sooooo WEIRD! time out is soooo WEIRD!"
And she has also decided going peepee is scary this week. ...? ummmm ok zuzu.

And I burnt the crizapp out of my hand on an oven rack. it hurts worse than it looks.

We been going to the pool everyday which I l.o.v.e.

Zuri still wont put Mr. Baloo Bear down..ever.

...and he's starting to nip at her because of it.

Did I mention I had a meltdown and put puppyface up for sale on Craigslist...oops. Well I did. Then we got a hit and almost cried and took him off immediately.

We love you baby Baloo....even if you do pee on my bed spread and whine for us at night.

And finally! I started making this book paper wreath. Its not near finished yet, but I think it will look pretty cool when its done. and oh ya! I started a new book called Unwind. I read somewhere that if your having Huger Games withdrawals its a good substitute. ...and it really is. I like it so far!

Here's what I know for sure right now.

1. I hate how money dictates life.

2. I want to have lots and lots of babies.

3. Reading books is essential.

4. You are not who you used to be.

5. A disorganized house makes my mind and body disorganized.

6. Having your bedroom and family room in your kitchen makes eating food entirely too accessible and easy. (hello extra poundage..and "i swear these pants used to fit")

7. Waking up to a spic and span house makes me 100% more effective throughout the day.

8. What you wear doesnt make you who you are. What you do, does.

9. Education and growth should never stop-constant change is a necessity.

10. The minute you feel comfortable and content is the minute you need to work to make it even better.

bah humbug

It's happened.

My darling girl stopped sleeping in.

3 days in a row of waking up at 6am instead of the usual 10:30 or 11.

HELP ME!

Really, I need some help. Or at least some understanding. And more sleep.

Today is our anniversary!

We celebrated by getting our cute little munchkin discount puppy, who is now known as BALOO. Not El Senor Eskimo. I kept saying Mexico in place of Eskimo....and I didn't want everyone around the city to hear me calling our dog The Mr. Mexico. They'd be offended. I think. Poor dog...its on its 8th name in about 60 hours. This is it though.

Mr. Baloo Baby Bear Face Christensen.

And then husband surprised me this morning and ordered breakfast delivery from our favorite place...such a good surprise and eating it in our house made it taste even better. He's off at work now until late like always, and then we'll probably snuggle up and watch Dexter to end the day. Sounds like a perfect anniversary to me.

I love him. A lot. But you probably already knew that.

Three years...woo hoo!
