Is it obvious that I have a serious case of writer’s block, or what?
Trav has started calling me “Non-diggity.”
Not sure what my deal is, but I have totally fallen off the blogging bandwagon. It’s definitely not for a lack of things to write about either.
I mean, I could have written about the fact that Trav was out of town for three weeks straight and how I came VERY close to going completely insane and being committed to a hospital with white padded rooms.
Or I could have written about how my bff from Texas drove up for a few days with her cutie-patootie son to keep Arle and me company while Trav was out of town.
Or I could write about the fact that I somehow convinced Trav to join me in doing a toxic cleanse.
{insert record screech}
Trav doing a toxic cleanse…say what???
Anyone who knows Trav well, knows he is not into the whole healthy lifestyle bit. He’s a naturally skinny guy that can pretty much eat whatever he wants and somehow stay slim and trim.
He’s never been on a diet in his entire life. Until now.
What we’re doing is based on the book Toxic Relief by Dr. Don Colbert.
I would give anything for you to have seen the look on Trav’s face as I read this sentence from the book aloud, “Acne, boils, and rashes are signs that your body is excreting toxins through your skin…”
He simply looked at me and said, “If I get a boil, I’m going to be pissed.”
The cleanse we’re on starts off with two full weeks of eating only fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, sprouted grains, and only a few ounces of organic fish or chicken per day. No coffee, no alcohol, no sugar, no gluten, no processed anything.
The cleanse ends with a two or three day juice fast. And we’re not talking about juice bought at the store. We’re talking about freshly squeezed veggie/fruit juice made by yours truly. My friend, Lindsay, gave me a juicing tutorial yesterday and we concocted a blend containing broccoli, purple cabbage, oranges, carrots, and apples. It was actually really yummy! Arle even lapped it up.
We’re almost done with the diet and will start the juice fast on Thursday. Wish us luck.
We lead an exciting life, eh? Now that you’re up to date on all of that excitement, I’ll leave you with this pic of Arle and Josh (my bff’s little boy). They had a ball together, even though they fought like brother and sister at times. We had SO much fun together and I can’t wait to see them again!

You did pretty good today for being so “blocked-out”.
You’re allowed a short slump, but, you ARE NOT allowed to quit us.
Got that?
OK?
OK, love ya, bye!

Dear Trav,
That’s true love, man….true love.
Ironically, you’re probably gonna be the one the toxic cleanse
really helps. Go figure…

Arle,
I love the picture of you and your friend, Josh.
Your mommy takes good pictures, doesn’t she?
We miss you!

True love is right! I’m sure you guys will feel awesome when you’re finished! I did a three month intensive cleanse a few years ago and felt the best I’ve ever felt. Ty has been cleansing for a few months now and looks and feels better than ever, too! I haven’t gotten my I-can-eat-whatever-I-want-and-still-have-5%-body-fat husband to cleanse with me yet so kudos to you, momdiggity!!!
And by the way, you are allowed to be non-diggity for a while. Happens to the best of us. ;)

Who the heck is Betty? So random. I actually enjoyed reading this post (take that, Betty!) And I’m eager to hear your conclusions about the cleanse when you’re finished. I have a feeling one is in my near future.

“your” is also great when used as “you’re” or maybe this language arts teacher should have use ” you are” and not the lazy contraction.
This is all YOUR fault Betty. YOU ARE making me angry.
