Tossed

This morning I did what I should have done yesterday. I did as many sets of Second Stage Flow as I possibly could, then switched back to First Stage Flow for the duration of the workout. I feel like I got some exercise this morning, instead of just feeling beaten--physically and mentally. I'm also down two and a half pounds of water weight from yesterday. Crazy.

I threw out the Lupini Beans. After seven days in a brine soak that I faithfully changed each morning, they were still bitter beyond belief. I was very sad. Aren't they pretty? The photo is a little fuzzy because the flash washed out the color and shine of them and I have no tripod.


Today is meh. I didn't sleep well at all last night, and my emotional stressors are rearing their heads again. I want this very much, for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that it's fucking awesome and so very very appropriate for me right now.

It's wonderful!
Alas, I already have a pressie picked out for your birthday and on its way here. Oh alas. ;)

Ha! That's ok. Yay for birthday prezzies!

I am excited to hang out with you this weekend and create stuff!

Yes!!! I'm so much looking forward to taking this workshop with you!

Also, your icon FTW.

They look......Alien. That's a pretty cool picture though. And thanks for the closure on that. Glad you didn't throw them out right off the bat.

I don't give up easily when it comes to food. It takes quite a bit for me to admit a complete cooking failure.

I was thinking of you the other day when I was in our little local international food market and stumbled upon a few jars of lupini beans...what a pity these didn't turn out! It's a cool photo, anyway...

I'm definitely going to try to find some canned/jarred version of Lupini Beans. I very much want to know how they're supposed to taste. When they're not, you know, toxic.
