The Truth about Scientology

"L. Ron Hubbard hopes that his Dianetics and e-meter would become a new psychotherapy, making wild claims that Dianetics can cure everything and solve every problem. However, when the organization gets sued for practicing medicine without a license, he changes his story and announces that his soup can is a religious artifact. Scientology becomes a religion and not a medical practice anymore."

Lemon makes it better

So I've been drinking only water for a month now. pretty good eh? and i've found that with a slice of lemon its good. without it, its just too plain and water like. amazing how a little slice of lemon makes water drinkable. but i recently made a new discovery.

I bought some red delicious apples the other day and I cut one in half. I used one half to cut into wedges for lunch and the other half i put it away. But I heard that if you squeeze a little lemon on it, it won't go brown. So I did. Then I squeezed some lemon on the apple wedges before I ate them, just so they wouldn't go brown either. What I discovered was that the lemon gave the apples a real burst of flavor! They were already sweet but the lemon made them juicier and a little tangy. I mean wow. They tasted like slices of apple lemonade! I guess the sweetness of the apples with the tartness of the lemons is a perfect match. I mean I was biting into the apple wedges and actually gulping juice down between bites. Yum yum. I liked it so much that I did it with all my apples every time I ate them. I really really loved the taste so now i'll squeeze 2 slim slices of lemon on my apples and even rub the lemon on each slice to get the maximum flavor. But you can just squeeze some lemon onto the non peel side of the apple slices and you'll see what I mean. I would imagine lemonade with apple slices floating in it might be good. Or apple juice with lemon slices. LoL.

*Remember if you do this to use Red Delicious Apples. I would not advise you to do this with Granny Smith Apples as they are already sour.

LoL

My little tae-bo work out isn't working anymore. I'm not getting all huffy and puffy like i used to. Which i guess is good because i'm getting in better shape. but grrrr. it was nice just to have a 2 min workout for the day. pfft.

Wanna see my tan?

BEFORE


AFTER


okok so you can't really tell. I took both pics with my mac. so you can't see the true color. i'm actually quite rosy.

Did good today.

Today I woke up at about 10:30 am and did some tae-bo. Now when I say Tae-bo I mean the moves I remember from Tae-bo. I do them while I watch tv. Takes less than 5 min but its intense because I'll be huffing and puffing and my heart starts beating harder than when I do 30 min at the gym. So I worked out while watching Bringing Home Baby one of my favorite shows on TLC. Then I watched The View and had breakfast. :)

After that I digested for a while then got in my bathing suit and went to the pool. I sat out for a long time...an hour maybe and then I went in the pool. Its so lovely and relaxing up there on the 7th floor. Then I got out and sat out to dry. It was windy but the sun was out so in the shade it was cold. But the heat was bearable. The clouds came and went the entire time I was out there. Then about 2:30 or so I was leaving and the sun really came out. I almost didn't want to leave but I had gotten plenty of sun already. Maybe too much. Not sure. It hasn't settled yet. So then I came up here and took a shower. My hair is nice and clean. My skin feels tender though. Gonna put up some after sun lotion then have some lunch.

All in all a pretty good day! :)
