Nothing taste better than health!

So with listening to all the debate regarding health care and watching my uncle lose his health, it has really been inspiring me to WANT to do more to ensure that I am healthy for as long as I can be. Seems that finding ways to ward off & fight the obesity epidemic which cost the health care system, would be part of the debate but I have yet to hear that part. Til the Feds figure out that connection with the rising cost its up to us to do what we can.

So I want to get back into working out regularly & changing my eating habits. Also I find it raises my spirits to learn to cook a great new meal! Can be a fun event for the night that only cost what you let it with the ingredients!

Last night I made the most delicious meal and had plenty of left overs for today & tonight & maybe tomorrow's lunch as well! So even though the ingredients cost me upfront, it can end up to be a LOT cheaper than a few trips thru a drive through or dinner out AND most importantly healthier & TASTIER! :)

With the success of last night still in the fridge, I am on the hunt for the next great recipe to try.

One advantage of living alone is I can eat whatever I want & try whatever I want without trying to make sure someone else will also eat it. See.... I can be Pollyanna positive about eating alone at home each night!~ ;)

Today's website is CookingLight.com. Where I have found the next recipe to try, I think. I will keep it to myself since I am hoping to post more about it later. I'm ignoring the survey where they say women put staying hydrated as a priority over sex! But there is TONS of great information to be found at this site.

So get in touch with your inner foodie. Take a chance on something new, hopefully healthy, & you just might find yourself loving it! and if you really love it, share it with me!

Confession.

Hi. My name is Ali and I am addicted... to Craigslist ads.

Not posting them. Not responding to them. Not even looking for something to purchase.

Just reading them & LAUGHING MY ARSE OFF! (yeah I know LMAO would have been shorter, but I wanted to clearly state just how funny I find the things posted, locally or all over the world.)

Frankly I know I am not alone in my guilty pleasure. There are many more lurkers out there who read & just shake their heads.

Then again there are a few who blog about the insanity. I adore the like minded at times.

You Suck at Craigslist, or YSaC, takes a look at the ads that might not exactly have chosen the best way to get their ideas across. Those ads that you have to read twice just to be sure you read it the way it was actually written. Oh & love that!

This is just out of control now...

So I have seen the bacon chocolate bar & even though I don't eat pork, I get where the salty sweet thing might work. Heard its a great chocolaty treat.

I have even heard rumors of bacon ice cream. Could be the same salty sweet thing.

This site however just is beyond my limits & ventures into WTF territory!

Seriously? Bacon Vodka? Wow, you would have to be drunk to try it!

To catch a star

Well today's site is a gold mine!

LOTS AND LOTS of games to keep you occupied.

I give you.... ORISINAL!

Hint: Check out the super cute star catching game. Adorable!

So that's why the economy is blown!

So today I listened to a podcast discussing how most paper money in America has traces of cocaine on it. (no wonder the world is all wacky!) I had to wonder if there was much truth REALLY to the claims they were making. So I checked it out on Snopes.com! Great site to check out those rumors & urban myths. Sadly its true!

So what I am really wondering is how my bird is doing home alone right now. I got ready looking like a pirate this morning with a green parrot on my shoulder! He/she is just too sweet! I'm smitten to the core with Binx!!







Who wouldn't be? ;)

BirdBreath

Last night was one of those special nights like no other. I got to bring Binx home!!!



Binx is a rescued Peach Fronted Conure, formerly known as Peaches. Seem like too common a name for this beauty, so new life, new name. Plus I'm not big on naming pets after food!


The link for today is Bird Breath. There you can find a bunch of funny cartoons starring birds! Enjoy!

Life is a bowl of cherries...

I am so giddy about Monday's surprise. How will I make it through the weekend?

So weird how such moments can change life. I was depressed about my uncle, but I am more at peace with everything now. (who knows what I will feel when I am by his bedside this weekend) Now I am dare say HAPPY about the things to come.

So on to today's site which amazing enough isn't about birds, but is called Rare Bird Finds!

The stuff on here borders on making me laugh to HEY I think it could be cool to actually have that!

So have fun exploring.

This cherry pitter cracks me up!

Its all just peachy

So this is a friend of mine, who has made my month! I've been dealing with some heavy family stuff, but tonight I find out that there is a soon to be new family member that is going to join my flock!!! I can't wait! Such an honor! More to come later & I'm sure a LOT of pictures.

So here, have some pet fun as celebration!!!

Sea Monkeys

So you know you either had Sea Monkeys, knew someone who did or wanted some - secretly or not. I am not so secret about my desire to have a tank on my desk at work, yet I have not seemed to take the time to just go get them. Perhaps one day....

Until then I found this site, Bad Fads, & am laughing about everything. I mean really who thought pet rocks, hula hoops, & sea monkeys would catch on!

Now if I can just come up with the next great thing! :)
