The Feel Better Drink of DOOM!

Now that I'm a single Mom, I really can't just get sick. So, I have finally gone to making the drink of DOOM!!

This has Apple Cider Vinegar, Garlic, Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Lemon Juice, and Raw Honey. YUCK! But it does somehow seem to make me feel better so far.

Actually, the lemon juice, ginger, and cayenne pepper makes it better. I didn't have those ingredients at first, so I was drinking it with just the others and it was even more gross. The cayenne seems to burn the mouth enough to take some of the taste away.

I was telling my holistic Chiropractor guy about it, and he was telling me about how each thing was awesome for making you feel better, but.... Generally, people don't drink them all together at once... I totally feel like a mad scientist.

But then I talked to my Mom later and turns out I have not fully reached the level of craziness in supposed to get to. I need to get a big jar, put in garlic, horseradish root, ginger, onions, and the real peppers. When I cut up the peppers by the way I'm supposed to wear gloves, never touch my eyes and clean all surfaces right afterwards. Then fill the jar with rsw apple cider vinegar, and let it sit for a couple of weeks. The improvement to hers is that when she strains it there liquid, she adds equal parts raw honey. That would probably be much better. I figure I may as well throw in the lemon for good measure, maybe I'll put some peels in to ferment with everything else.

But then there's always things that actually taste good too like Elderberry Syrup 😁

True Love Songs....

Okay I'm probably going to keep adding to this as I find more, but seriously, when I fall in love again here is what I'm looking for:




Especially the Chorus, oh Don Williams, you hit it.




This is how I want falling in love to be. I do love some Anne Murray. I guess I should get some more recent love songs, but you know the classics just speak it sometimes.

Okay, so I recently discovered this song and it's so sweet. This is awesome.

I Am Not a Utah Barbie

I am not now nor will I ever be a girly girl.

This is me with no make up at night, yes I am rocking both Superman and Wonder Woman!

I gave my last pair of high heels to DI (The Utah version of Goodwill, PS they use their donations much better), because I never wore them and I don't even know how to use a curling iron properly.

This is me more dressed up to go to a school function. See, lipstick!

For some reason both my ex-husband and the guy I almost married before him thought I was going to change I guess. I think I dazzled them with my awesomeness and they somehow didn't pay attention to the fact that I hate pink and the only thing I know how to do to my hair is put gel in it, unless I'm feeling fancy, then I can use a hair dryer.

It was like they thought because I was a girl in Utah I was suddenly going to want to become this cheerleader ideal they had in their head.

Don't get me wrong, there are a bunch of amazing girly girls out there. There's nothing wrong with being a beauty queen, if that's your thing. Live it up!

That's just not going to be me. I'm more of your spunky tomboy/girl next door type. My pioneer day heroes are Annie Oakley and Mary Fielding Smith. Tough as nails and awesome!

Sometimes it feels like guys who were born and raised in Utah think that because I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I do know how to make bread by hand, that I will suddenly sprout blond locks and know more than I do about wearing make-up. The two things are simply not related.

I guess in the end the deal is that I'm not going to be heart broken about it anymore. One guy may have constantly told me how hot the cougarettes are and flirted with girly girls, while the other told me how other girls who are girlier than me were prettier than me. But here's what I have to say to them:

I've learned that I just need to be my own kind of beautiful

I have learned to have more confidence in who I am. I don't need to change to be what some man wants, I need to find a man who wants what I am. There are many fish in the sea and just because I'm not one guy's cup of tea doesn't mean I'm not the perfect girl for some guy. I may not come from a Utah mountain, but there are some pretty awesome people like me who surface from the temperate rainforests of Oregon.

And for now, that's about what I have to say about that.
