I Dreamt

And I dreamt a most beautiful dream...
I dreamt of a time when everything fell into place.
I dreamt of a time when seconds turned into hours and I became one with all.
I dreamt of a time when I saw the beauty that surrounded me in everything.
A time when the trees whispered secrets about the birds, while crickets clicked their legs.
A time when the sunset painted the sky a bloody orange with swirls of purple.
I dreamt of a place where the heavens met the meadows and the grass whistled with the wind in joy.
A time of pleasure.
A time of unharnessed emotions.
I dreamt of a touch that started curiously at my collar bone and found its way to the small of my thigh.
I dreamt I felt the cool breeze consume me, cool me, lure me.
I dreamt that each hair, golden red, danced with each ray of light in the gentle gusts.
I dreamt that each freckle on my skin told a story of my past, both permanent and private.
I dreamt of a heart so wondrous and filled with desire; a soul that never surrendered in times of despair.
I dreamt of a bone that held my body together with sage and strength.
I dreamt of a companion who never wanted more then I could give and never took more then I offered.
I dreamt a most beautiful dream...
A time when I am me, and I am what I believe in.

Blackberry Gl-Gl-Glitch

Hellooo! I am officially back in Macon and I am happy to be in my new apartment once again and reunited with my wingman. Nothing too exciting is going on in the home front, but I will amuse you today with a play list and a healthy grocery list for those of you who want to feel great all day. The downside of the grocery list is that produce is on the pricier side, but I'll tell you how to cut corners below. 

Note to self: Beastie Boys and The Roots are awesome to to wake up to.

Note to self: Don't ever buy a car battery from the Walmart off of Gray Highway. They suck over there, big time. 

Note to self: Sunscreen and hats will be getting me through this summer. Since when was it okay for the temperature in 31201 to be this relentless.

The Apartment Grocery List


WATER        WATER      WATER     WATER
Milk

-Almond (for me)
-Regular ( for him)
Apples
Limes or Lemons ( which ever feel firmer or smell fresher)
Rotisserie Chicken ( Take the skin off of it. The skin is NOT nutritious!)
1lb. of Turkey Breast, low sodium Boar's Head ( the one that has a healthy heart next to it)
Feta Cheese ( add basil to it! )
BROWN RICE ( 1 Cup or 1 1/2 Cup depending on if you worked out)
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Lettuce ( spinach is the best for you, but what ever you can afford is fine)
Egg Whites
Whole Grain English Muffins
Smucker's All Natural Peanut Butter
Greek Yogurt ( Fage and Oikos are expensive.. stick to Chobani 10 for $10 at Walmart and Kroger)
---* if that is still too expensive,  Dannon Light and Fit is GREAT.
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Asparagus
Onion
Bell Peppers
Carrots
Salmon
Tuna---  or Tunafish for those who prefer canned fish because of cost. (BUT REMEMBER Light Mayo if you are doing tunafish)
Triscuits - Reduced Fat
HUMMUS
- Red Pepper
- Spinach and Artichoke
Berries
- Blueberries
- Black Berries
Pickles ( for when you are craving salt)
Celery ( pairs well with, well everything! no eating it by itself. Not healthy.)
Mint Chewing Gum


The grocery list above gives you copious amounts of different ingredients to work with. Season them up! Stay away from butter, go easy on the olive oil. BE CREATIVE! The healthier you eat, the more your body wants ( YOUR METABOLISM SPEEDS UP), and in return it thanks you by giving you better skin ( a glow too!) and energy!

-- Produce is expensive. We all know this, so there are solutions. Coupon collecting is one method. Saving ten cents here and  two dollars there really adds up. Be smart. Be efficient.
--- MULBERRY STREET MARKET: need I say more? Purchase local farm produce that has not been tampered with, and the produce is a much smarter purchase then the ghetto gas/ kroger late night runs for pizzas, icecream, cookies, and Frito Lay's HELL.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SHOP AT FRESH MARKET UNLESS YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO DO SO (super expensive).

ATTENTION: FOR THOSE WHO DRINK
- Red wine.  1-2 glasses and you will satisfy your urge to drink and you are throwing back anti- oxidants and calories that are not empty.
* Stay away from beer : Carbs, Calories, and Sugars that are empty.
* White Wine is better than beer but try to stick to Red.

If you are having liquor drinks... pair the liquor with lime juice, club soda, diet coke...sparingly, or water. Worst comes to worse, carry water in your glass with lime or lemon and just do shots, that way you eliminate your fruity sugary coma inducing crap mixers.

Cheers!
