Today I was went to see my ND. She is totally awesome and I always feel so good and cared for when I leave there. I was telling her that I had been craving salt. We talked about it - stress related most likely... anyway, her thought (prescription) was that on my way home I stop at Molly Moon's in Wallingford and get the salted caramel ice cream.

Dr's orders for goodness sake - can't not do it - right!?

oH mY - I think I died and went to heaven. It was the most amazing thing I had tasted in a long time. Wowie! I even went for the total splurge and opted for the waffle cone!

Sometimes we just need to connect with our inner kid... just let it go and have some fun. Today I did that on my way home - just me. Kind of a date with my inner kid. It was spontaneous, fun, tasty, and satisfying on many levels. I haven't stopped for an unplanned ice cream - well, unfortunately since I was a kid. It was so cool to lick away at the icecream and suck the bottom of the cone where it melts through the little hole. Drips on your fingers.. so incredibly cool. I highly recommend a date with your inner kid once in a while.

8 July 2010

Hot today in Jet City.. I was sitting outside on the deck watching all the activity on the Lake. I love how its like a bee hive when the sun shines. I was working on getting caught up on the Unravelling assignments and also the second week of the Artist's Way. I found I was falling behind, so I repeated week 1 of AW and am just midway into week 2. Unravelling was also throwing me off a bit with Alter Ego week last week. I actually didn't even get a photo posted for that until this week. I was struggling with what I would like to be other than me. It took a while to get into it, but I thought a lot about it during the week. I guess I never really let myself dream in that way. It was good.

We're one week away from the end - We're at week 7 now - Tribe week. That's a tough one for me too... My tribe is all over everywhere. But, I guess that's what is important to realize and identify the ones that are still so important to me. I still don't have a photo for that one. I'll have to think on it a little more. I can't think for too much longer though.. its almost the weekend and I still need Denim for Sunday Creative and my color for 64-colors. Holy cow, I better get a move on =)

I took some great sun kissed photos this week and also on my road trip to Spokane last weekend. It was nice to get away and go see old friends. I realized that Spokane doesn't hold anything for me anymore since we moved from there over 2 years ago. But, I think it was good to go back, realize that and visit my old tribe for probably the last time. There are just a couple of really important friends in my life that are still there. Lots of people I know... but not the same as those particular friends. I don't talk to any of them on a regular basis, but the best part is that when we do talk, its like yesterday was the last time we saw each other. Those comfortable relationships that never go away - they are always there no matter what. Its comforting to know that. On my way home, as I drove across the state, I had lots of time to think. I am so happy with where we are now - it feels like the most right place we've ever been. Its a nice feeling.
