So various people I know had decided to go raw for a month in the New Year... it wasn't just one set of people even... someone professionally, the Seattle-ites, someone from yoga... it was suddenly surrounding me. So one day last week I thought "Well I'll just add some raw foods in and have some fun with it." Only, we all know I'm a bit of a 1s and 0s kind of girl... all or nothing. So I've gotten a bit into it. I've been exploring all the new gourmet raw foods that are there. I wish I had a Vita-Mixa and a dehydrator 'cause then I could start experimenting myself but, in the meantime, I'm hoping to make walnut tacos tomorrow... they look amazing. The Greenery Raw Cafe in Leucadia has been furnishing dinner a few times a week. I love the raw burger but the pizza is absolutely wonderful. The thing with me and raw food is that I really love all that stuff but it's expensive to buy and time consuming to make (although I'm itching to make cashew cheese). Right now I feel really great, like I used to when I was raw... but I'm getting a bit airheaded.

Practice yesterday was nice. It wasn't spectacular physically, how could it be... but it was nice. My body hurts today... all those little places we forget about regularly.

This is Shiva. The kids and I helped to rescue this little guy off the streets and we got the okay to bring him home permanently! Shiva is probably 13 weeks old... he's doing really great. He's very vocal, funny and loves to have his belly patted.
