Living The Crazy Life
Living the Crazy Life
(La Vida Loca)
When my alarm goes off at 5 A.M.
There's not a lot going on in my brain but usually there is a song to
be had in there. Sometimes it's stuck for a minute and sometimes
it's there for days and days and other times it's there to spark me
thinking about something.
This is one of those such moments.
Sometimes we're living the crazy life
and no idea why or when it's going to slow down due to anything and
everything and other times we're living a crazy life with no job and
no income and yet knowing that we're okay because we're trusting in
something. Anything. In our case..we're trusting that God has it
handled because He's the one that called us to this life and we know
it to be true otherwise we wouldn't be here in the first place.
Still other time's we're wondering when that next big thing is going
to happen with our lives and waiting sometimes patiently and others
not so much.
Yet if we're Christians then we're on
the same path and living our lives according to God's word and Holy
Tradition and knowing where we're going in the end. So I challenge
you to live that crazy life on purpose doing God's will for your life
and helping each other along the way. Ya never know what might happen
next.
May the Lord bless you on your journey.

Enter Sweet Tooth
I have a sweet tooth. Or teeth. Can you only have one sweet tooth if you have all of your teeth? And if so then is it possible to figure out which tooth isn't helping the situation and get rid of it without messing with the other non offending teeth? Or would they take over the sweet tooth's job and then become a sweet tooth on their own? Is there a sweet tooth waiting list in your mouth?
Yikes! Ahem.
Anyway. I love sweets. Except for coconut. (Long story there; but it's a texture issue for me not a taste issue.)
So having a sweet tooth while trying to monitor and loose a few pounds here and there is a bad combination when you having ice cream that's in the freezer and you know that it's there. What I mean by that is sometimes I can convince myself that the ice cream or whatever sweets we have in the house aren't really there. Sometimes I'm really good at doing it even if I'm the one that made them in the first place. (Yeah I know crazy huh?)
One of the tricks that I've come up with with the help of my husband and Mom is to take whatever frozen fruit you might have and put it in a glass of ice water and add either a little bit of honey (if you have it; ours disappears way to fast) or some kind of sweetener. I use Equal when there isn't anything else other than plain sugar.
I get the healthy benefits of water and fruit and my system thinks it's getting something special from the sweetener.
It's a win-win situation as far as I can tell.
