Wednesday
So this is Fall
Today is a chilly fall day and all I want to do is read my current book, Something Borrowed, on the couch under a blanket, drink warm coffee, and drift in and out of naps all day. Doesn't that sound like a great day?

How to Avoid Getting Sick!
I read a good article here about how to not get sick this winter. I always dread when a sick person walks near me and think, oh great, now I'm going to get what they have!
The last time I got a nasty cold was about 2 years ago (I didn't get sick at all last winter which was amazing!). I was in a Yoga class in NYC. All of our mats were about 1 inch apart because this yoga class was so packed with people.
During class the girl next to me let out a huge exhale. If you've been to many yoga classes, it was the kind of exhale that was super dramatic and loud. Her breath went right in my face and I knew right then that whatever was in that air of hers was all up in me now, there was nothing I could do about it.
The next morning I woke up with a majorly sore throat and about 2 weeks later finally started to get over all of the awful coughing, stuffiness, and all the other symptoms that come with a cold.
I don't know if the girl that exhaled on me in class actually made me sick that next day but, it is nice to know that there are foods that can help fight off sickness during this season. Here's the list-
Sunflower Seeds
Brazil Nuts
Oysters
Sweet Potatoes
Shiitake Mushrooms
Kiwis
Garlic
List found at the Whole Living website here.
I won't have any problem eating lots of sweet potatoes and garlic! I am a believer in food adding to your health and immunity. How do you feel about it?

No Grocery Shopping for One Year
Can you imagine your life without buying your food at a grocery store or going out to eat? I can't! I saw this great article and blog today about a family that successfully lived 1 year this way and are on their 2nd year.
I absolutely would love to live this way or close to it! How cool would that be to grow all your own food, have your own chickens (to provide eggs), and maybe even a cow to provide milk??
My husband and I had a small garden this summer (check it out here, here, and here) and got the biggest kick out of eating our own home grown bell peppers. I haven't had to buy bell peppers since about June and I love going in the backyard and picking one right before we eat it.
My dream is to have a bigger garden and be able to grow our own lettuce, green beans, squash, and maybe onions.
I know it would be a ton of work but, I know it is possible because this family did it while working full time.
I bet people 100 years ago would laugh at how novel this idea sounds to us in 2011. Would you ever be interested in this kind of lifestyle?

Fun new nail polish
I got me some fun new polish colors! I like that blue and green are back; I remember when those polish colors were popular when I was in 4th and 5th grade circa 1996-'98.
