THE 6TH SENSE

With spring coming, my pet peeve returns. I don't get disgusted at the sight of earthworms wriggling onto the road to eventually be crushed underfoot or "undertyre". I am especially not disgusted by the sickening crunch of its exoskeleton when it has been stepped on. What bothers me is the SMELL! The smell of earthworms is like uncooked meat that has laid on the grass for two nights and then was peed on by a dog on a walk{ ok not this intense}. But earthworms stink. If you haven't noticed this smell, don't feel bad, I attribute my acute awareness of smell to my 6th sense... I call it Nose 3.0. I spot smells from a mile away. The only negative is that I prepare people for the smell because I sense it first, but no one can prepare me.

This smell also feeds my sweet tooth. Who can resist the smell of waffles topped with whipped cream and chocolate. If you can, you are either super-human {addicted to the healthy} or sub-human {immune to deliciousness}. FOOD is definitely on my mind.

On a brighter note, I'd love to announce that I have found a way to embrace the healthy me. I now LIKE salads. If you know me, you'll no I have "healthy-phobia". LOL. So this is a HUGE step for me. For my fellow phobic friends. The trick is a fun salad.... SWEET or SPICY. We know that those GREEN things just taste like plants... so for the Sweet
Spring Mix + Green Grapes + Strawberries {which I pick out cuz I hate) + Raspberry dressing ( has only 30 calories)

For spicy
Spring Mix + Chicken strips/Shredded chicken (Baked not fried) + Pepper (We love the spicy) + Cesar/Italian Dressing (Has some fat but the greens make up jo)

And I add Spinach to everything...Yes raw spinach. My rice plate looks Christmas-y nowadays with green veggies and red stew. Anyways.... In less that a month, I will be taking my final exam of undergrad and I am beyond excited. I have no more lecture material being taught in class and it makes me feel bittersweet. Sweet because I'm done and Bitter because I'm wondering if I learned enough from undergrad. All in all, I'm happy. And please DON'T ask me what's next, Can we just savor the moment??




 




Spring is here! Or so I thought before the SNOW fell ridiculously today. Another day, more snow. Anyways I'm rocking some faux fur and another Dione Mauve hair accessory and my DIY ring from before to celebrate I'm loving throwing in some tribal printing into my dressing...What better way than accessories....

Have a lovely week fam...

Yours Truantly,
Ij
