FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 13-19, 2009
WHAT I’M READING: The Sedona Method, which is all about releasing feelings so you don’t have to carry around so much angst. Not that I carry around a lot of angst or anything…not me. Oh no. Never. Excuse me while I go release those lies.
WHAT ELSIE’S READING: A brand new book that I picked out myself. It’s about Olivia the Mouse, and extremely sweet. I got really tired of all the teachy-county-learny books. Just give me a fucking story. A fucking story for fuck sake. Yeah, I am vulgar today. What the heck is with my potty mouth? I’m still releasing toxins from my week long cleanse is what.
WHAT I’M WATCHING: The beginning of 50 Dead Men Walking, a movie my dad brought home about the Irish Protestant/Catholic conflict. He didn’t think it would be too intense. Um. Dad, that was the most intense movie I’ve ever seen. My heritage is messed up.
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO: The new Norah Jones: The Fall. It’s quite lovely. More exciting: Elsie loves it too, which means we have been Wiggles free in the car for one week. That is nothing short of fucking miraculous! Sorry…more toxins.
WHAT I’M WEARING: Layers. That way when I tell Simon that I’m cold, he can’t say with disdain, “Is it because you’re not wearing enough clothes? Like, for example, SOCKS?” I certainly am wearing SOCKS today, husband! And a long sleeved thermal kind of shirtish thingy. Like if I wanted to go skiing, I would be sweating from the ‘chaleur’ of this ensemble.
WHAT I’M EATING:: Solid food. Texture is such a lovely thing. Drink juice for week and you will be all over anything with crunch. More specifically I am eating raw hummus. So can you if you:
Soak raw sunflower seeds over night. Grind them up, along with one zucchini cut into chunks and 3 cloves garlic. Add 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp tahini (ground sesame seeds), 2 tbsp lemon, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp sea salt. Approximately. Enjoy. Spread on nori and make your own ’sushi’ or just eat with celery sticks.
WHAT I’M ENJOYING: Elsie’s dancing. She side shuffles in a circle and it’s delightful. To every kind of music. Including the heavy metal kind.
WHAT I’M SNIFFING: This awesome hand cream which Simon got me for Christmas. It’s called ‘ULTIMATE STRENGTH HAND SALVE’ by KIEHL’S. It’s kind of medicinal smelling in a natural way, if you can imagine such a smell. I apply it at least 25 times a day.
p.s. Hey look, my friend Steve found the TVO ad:
Okay, now go enjoy your Friday. Tonight Simon and I are having date night at a communal table with 20 other people. Sounds romantic don’t you think?

That does sound fabulous – as is your picture with someone else’s grandma and the image of Elsie dancing!!
does the sedona method also help with having to be right all the time?
