Live Your Best Life

"Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true."

- Alfred Lord Tennyson, From "In Memoriam"

Potato & Onion Frittata

Yumsters!  I rocked this frittata!  I was home & hungry for a yummy breakfast. I was too lazy to get ready & go buy something. I also really didn't want to spend the money. 

I looked for a recipe that included eggs & potatoes (ingredients that I had & was craving) and found this one. I was afraid to attempt it at first because it would involve a step I've never used before (broiling) and I would have to change one of the ingredients from fresh parsely to frozen basil cubes. 

I did it anyway & it worked!  So yummy!  I have a few more ideas for this recipe & I'm excited for my next attempt. 

Work

Work is going pretty well right now. I am being recommended for  committees, councils, and projects. Through all of this involvement I am meeting tons of senior managers that hopefully will one day make a hiring decision in my favor.  I'm very excited & I almost am afraid to say it out loud just in case it doesn't happen. 

My friend "Dy" told me last night that I need to change my attitude / outlook from "hopefully it will happen" to "It will happen". She's so right because I do believe in the law of attraction. You attract what you put out there.

Anyhow, I just wanted to record this moment with you.  I will keep you updated. :-)

Blah

I was on such a career high all day so I'm perplexed as to why I'm feeling blah right now. Is it being indoors? I took a walk to buy dinner for that reason but it didn't help. Dinner actually made my stomach feel like my brain... Blah.

It's 7pm and I'm already in bed. Not good.  I don't even have the energy to tell you why I was on such a happy high. 

I almost feel like I'm missing someone. But who? There's this ache I'm feeling and I can't pinpoint why I'm feeling it. 

Is it loneliness? Maybe. Oh man, I really need to get out of this funk because that's when I'm the most unproductive. 

I need to watch Oprah's Master Class and get inspired. :-)

I need to get out more

This last week I went out with a friend.  I went with no expectations & ended up having a great time. I also met two guys who were pretty cool. 

That night made me realize that I need to get out more & be open to all possibilities.  

I'm finally coming out of my hole. :-)

Good Times

I had such a great time with Marlin last night! I really need to get out more. All I do lately is hang out at home.

Going Crazy

I decided to do the Detox diet again. This time I had my two sisters & a coworker doing it with me. I was excited because I thought it would be so much easier the second time around.  

I was so wrong. The detox coincided with my period and really made the process so much harder.  On my first day I had a major headache. It almost felt like a migraine. I didn't take any medicine because I hoped it would only last one day.  

Today, my second day, the headache was gone in the morning but boy did it come back.  I decided to take Motrin rather than completely breaking the detox.  I took four Motrins and my headache did not improve. By the end of the day I was going crazy. I was thinking of what I could go eat. I was craving everything! Coffee, sandwich, hamburger, fish, chicken salad, candy....  I was going to sneak away from work to go eat but I was held up by employees needing stuff. I'm glad that happened because who knows what I would have ate.

On the way home I had an apple. Still no improvement. My mouth was watering at the idea of making tuna with crackers for dinner when my friend showed up.  I told him how miserable I was & he was very supportive of me postponing my detox.

I ended up eating a pretzel with mustard (we went to the movies) and lemonade. Got home & I had a small piece of brownie, some cookies, and coffee.  That's when my stomach said "WTF?"  

I'm drinking my detox tea right now. I'm not feeling crazy anymore & the headache is almost gone.  I'm thinking of getting back on the detox tomorrow. If I can get through it without a headache I should be fine but if the headache comes back then I'm off it for sure. We shall see what happens.

Nighty night.....
