When I started blogging, (not very long ago) I originally wanted to talk current events and debate. I'm addicted to reading, and absolutely am a comment section junkie. Some articles that I read are just so I can see what others have to say about it. It made sense to me at the time to blog and discuss.. But my blog just sat here, lifeless and alone. Then I quit smoking with the use of vapes, and I made a commitment to my grams to write her life story. I spend every Friday with my mom and grams, going over her notes and journals that she's been keeping since she was a teenager. At 83, my Grams doesn't recall things like she used to. She encouraged me to start a journal of my own life and that's when this blog sprang to life.
I've made a commitment to myself to write every single day. So far.. So good. Posting all the steps I'm taking to improve myself may be of benefit to others, but mostly it keeps me focused and in check. I encourage everyone to start a blog page, even if you don't want anyone to see it. You can post private or public.. You have full control of who sees it! Please don't be afraid. Just jump in! You can gain perspective and insight by blogging, and you may even help someone else in the process. Blogging can help you get more organized, and keep you moving in the right direction. If you are clueless about blogging, please just ask! I'm no pro, but I can help you get started!
I recently started juicing carrots every morning. Although I have made mention of this a few times, there is a lot that I don't mention too. There are days that I wish there was a camera rolling on me. I imagine that my blonde moments would be of great entertainment value to others besides myself. I'm about to go do my morning juice, and I found myself laughing at something I did yesterday. Roll camera...
I put the juicer together and started washing my carrots. Never peel them! Just give them a good scrubbing. I placed the first carrot in the Shute and crammed it into the juicer. Enter blonde moment.. I forgot to place the container for collecting the now flowing juice.. So carrot blood ran all over the counter top. Without even thinking, I grabbed a straw and drank the juice from the counter. Waste not, want not.. Don'tcha know. After getting all the juice I could by straw, I grabbed a large mug to satisfy the juicing volcano. Situation averted, and I continued juicing my carrots.
Upon finishing my pound of juiced carrots, I went about my day. Now, there's something you should know about juicing carrots that nobody seems to talk about. If you do not exercise care while drinking your juice, you may find you have a slight orange carrot mustache. And sometimes, you may find that you ran to the local grocer to grab your organic bananas without checking yourself in the mirror. And sometimes... You find out when you get home that you spoke to the meat cutter and produce manager while wearing a lovely orange juice-stache. So, lesson learned. Drink your juice carefully, or proudly sport a juice-stache. Your choice:). - Nicki
