YAY! I'm gonna order the 1st and the 2nd from you. I accidently dontated your first book to my local library. At first it sent me into a panic. That was my bible! Then I decided it wasn't an accident at all but a twist of fate. Someone out there needed that book and it's on it's way to them. And now I can get another one signed by YOU!!!!

Congrats to you honey!

Hey Kris!

The Kale Chips recipe sounds so good doesn't it! I got it from a magazine.
I wish I was that creative! Your very creative dish sounds way delicious.
I can't wait to try it. Soon as I get some braggs. I saw that link Sandra
posted, so I'm gonna have to get some of those truffles! God I love
chocolate. I can't wait to see the new CSL store! Is that an online store?
You are so cool! I'm so proud of you. I know that sounds funny like I'm
your mom or something. But I'm just so proud of you.

Hope you have a fantastic day!

First of all, sniff sniff, *grabs a tissue* YOU WERE IN OHIO?! WHERE? I wish I had known, I would have come to see you!!!!

OK, Kale, I posted the recipe for Kale Chips on the forum, but I JUST got the Agave Nectar, so I can't actually vouch for how good they are. Callie, I'm glad you liked them. They are not raw, but when you are jonesin for some chips or popcorn and watching a movie, I think they would be a much healthier choice!

I usually only juice it too. Sometimes I put it in a smoothie, but usually I do spinach. I tell ya who loves it, is my hampsters! hahahaha.

I love that you didn't cave in and order take out. Which by the way I've been so guilty of since my surgery. There is no such thing as healthy take-out where I live, at least not that I know of. I've been hearing so much about Braggs lately I think I'm gonna have to get some of that too! I wish I could find these whacky ingredients closer to home, but it takes some driving to get to them.

your make shift masterpiece sounds so good, my mouth is watering! Maybe you were channeling your Grandma! Even after our loved ones are gone, they are present in our lives!

OH! Where did you get those raw chocolate truffles!!!

wow Kris! What a day you had! That'l like a dream come true for me. Sitting at a restaurant, having someone bring me plates of food and desserts all day long, and no dishes to do! Just get up and walk away! And good company doesn't hurt either!

Re: CSA farm fun = veggies on the cheap

Yes, I am, but Peninsula is a bit of a drive from me. There is a farmers market every Saturday just up the road from me, but maybe I'll check out the Peninsula one just for fun, thanks!

Kris! I could have written some of this blog myself! I was just at my mom's house for the weekend too, and swam in the lake (lake erie) and watched JAWS, it was so very theraputic. I left there feeling high! And reading about how you also struggle with affording organics and finding organics and how you get around it all is so refreshing. I have backed myself into a corner where I'm so afraid of conventional produce, that I don't want to buy it. But I really can't afford to buy all organic. Could you tell me the measurment for the vinegar and water solution you use to wash your conventional produce? I also use the green bags and I find they work well. We have a farmers market in town, but it's more crafts and things then fruits and veggies. I would love to go to a farm and pick my own stuff! Looks like you had one fabulous weekend!

You recall the weekend with such emotion that I almost feel like I was there! I wish I could have been there for real. It sounds like such an amazing experience!

oh no! I'm skeeeeered! I've been cheating. I've fallen off the wagon, and I can't even see the dust trail it's so far gone! *sigh*. This is probably just the kick in the butt that I need. I know if I see it in writing I will feel ashamed. Maybe that is what I need to get myself back on the wagon.

Re: New life - Phase one

Wow Kris. You know you have just put into words all my emotions over the past few months. I lost my cat, Jack and my Father-In-Law in a relatively close period of time. It changes you. I had the exact same thoughts about leaving Jack burried in the back yard. It seemed so careless of me. How could that be all that I could do with his body? I'm way more loving and nurturing than that! But WTF are you supposed to do with it? And where the hell are they? Are my cat and father in law in heaven together? Was Jack there waiting for him? It's a total mindfuck. You do things to keep busy. I'm a big fan of lifting too. I'll move furniture. Well not lately because of this lemon of a body I got. But rearranging furniture was always a favorite. Everything you are feeling is so exactly how I felt too. I don't consider myself normal by any means, but I think that the feelings are very normal. It's so hard to adjust to your loved one, human or animal, doesn't matter, not being there. I cried until my eyes were so swollen it looked like I was having an allergic reaction. I got a new kitten in April. 3 months after Jack passed away. I sware she was sent from Heaven to get me through my latest health battle. I will always miss Jack. Stella will never replace Jack. Stella is Stella. She was sent to me for a different reason than Jack. She lays with me and cuddles with me through all my pain. I'm not alone in my pain, I have Stella. She loves me unconditionally. Now if only I could go out and get me another Father-In-Law. OMG how strange would that be! I'm sorry this is getting so long. I just want to thank you for yet again being you and having the most perfect words to express what you are going through and making me feel less crazy because I can totally relate. I know it's so cleche (sp?) but it will get better with time. Keep yourself busy, it does help. Busy hands! Make things pretty. Very healing. It will get better love. Feel every emotion. Really feel it, it's important. It's healing.

Re: Goodbye friend, child, teacher...

Goony — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:09:41 -0000

Kris, my friend,

Please excuse any typos as I am trying to type through tears. The loss of a pet is no different than the loss of a human. Pets are more than animals. They are angels sent to us for a reason. Your baby helped bring down walls you built up to protect yourself. She showed unconditional love. It breaks my heart that your time together is no more, but the love you shared and the lessons she tought you are forever and I do believe she has joined the big party in the next phase of life. You'll see her again. Many many years from now, but again. I'm so so sorry. I wish I could give you a hug.

Re: you'll never dream alone.

There you are! Is it OK that I read this blog? I haven't even thought to read your blog in a long long time. Didn't think you were using the computer. But here you are. Getting it all out. Good for you love. Let it out. I'm sorry I've bin mia for the last week or so. I got a little depressed there for a bit, and the pain was making me so wicked, I was having trouble finding something nice to say. I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through a sad time. I don't know the whole story, but I can share that I know the feeling you are talking about. I lost my first love after we had already gone our seperate ways. Our relationship was sick and turbulant. He was abusive and I loved him so much I took it. I can honestly say I've never loved like that before or since. It was crazy love. Well eventually, as much as we lvoed eachother, we split. I found out a few years later, that he was killed in a car accident. I was absolutely shocked, and sad. I wasn't inlove with him anymore, but I still loved him and will always love him. It's like he carved his name into my heart, it will always be there. I wondered if I had done something different, if I had stayed, would he still be alive. The what if's in life are a waste of time. You didn't do anything to cause what happened. You loved him, but it wasn't meant to be. You had to let him go to keep yourself together. The people that are blaming you must just be so desperate that they need someone to lash out at, and there you are, their target. It's not your fault. I'm glad you are wise enough to see the big picture, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less. Your life has been filled with deep loves and dark losses. You love to the fullest. I do the same. It's petal to the metal or nothing for me. That isn't a fault, it's a gift. You are a gift to everyone around you. I love you lovey. I hope that you know that, even when I'm a million miles away, and have never even seen your gorgeous self in person, I love you. I'm here for you.
