It shouldn't be this way

Im sitting in bed with the 2 coolest blankets in my parents house. The oldest of the two was made by a great grandma or aunt for my mother and is next to the coziest crochet blanket ever. Its not soft or fuzzy or anything special but it just has the best aura. the second blanket is the first bedspread my mom bought for herself when she moved out of her parents. Its just a cotton stuffed white blanket with little blue flowers.

I sit here and hate on my life. Its my xmass break and all I can be is the most unoptimistic  person in the house.

I guess all I can do is listen to a little Jefferson Airplane Woodstock footage and go to bed.

Cant sleep... Maybe music will help

Double Dog Dare

I dare you
-Go out and buy a new flavor of tea (I bought one recently with lavender, peppermint, and many other herbs. Its called calm down or something like that)
- Take a reaaaaly long bath. Add salts, oatmeal, tea, honey, scents, bath bombs, WHAT EVER YOU HAVE in your kitchen light a candle, read a book, or just breath. I like eating food in the bath, makes me feel like a Egyptian/Greek/Roman goddess /i want to get little boats like in the Elizabeth Taylor version of Cleopatra. I think I might get a book on making boats and just apply the measurements to quarter scale and make a bunch of little ships... Yes that's a great way to spend my X-mass holiday... but actually it is
- Learn a new language, not necessarily the whole thing, but maybe basics like Hey, Howya doin, Wheres the bathroom, do you like apple pie? What ever floats your boat!
- Find or explore something that you don't like in the world and take action on it! What ever it is! As Grandmother willow from Pocahontas said, even the tiniest ripples make a difference. They are better than no ripples at all.
- Don't brush your hair for a week, and wash it every other day with a bio degradable shampoo... you don't know if you like it till you try. If your going to do this id say stock up on dry shampoo and wide-tooth combs. and educate yourself in dreading, cuz i have partial dreads in the sense that i separate my hair and palm roll the sections, it keeps my messy hair in check.

Simple fun Sunday (for 1 more hour.)

Try these two things:
1. Stand in front of a mirror, close one eye, and trace your face on the mirror.
2. Draw your hand with the hand that you're drawing.

Ginger Soda

Head aches?
Nausia?
Upset tummy?
or just plain hungover?


Ginger ail works great but has so much sugar in it. Why not make your own medicine! Cheep easy and bad ass!!


1 medium sized ginger root
2 liters of club soda/soda water/ carbonated water (I prefer club soda)
A jug, bowl or what ever!


Cut the ginger root into thin strips, then combine all of the above in your jug or bowl of choice, place in the fridge and wait. Its not a set recipe you can add more or less ginger,  leave it in the fridge anywhere from 1 hour- over night and shake gently occasionally.. Strain into glass(es) and serve with ice and or lemon wedges (this is optional, the scent of lemon helps with nausea).


 CURED!!!
