Seventh Generation?

SEVENTH GENERATION!

I feel like I've been keeping a secret & I can't hold it in any longer.

I've fallen in love with Seventh Generation products. Head over heels type of love.

I've always leaned more toward natural products, but after having little Piper I realized that I was always looking for the words "free & clear" or other words that essentially meant "we don't put all that other crap in here".

I've used their fem care for quite a few years now - after discovering I was allergic to every other brand of tampons - and it sort of started me down the path of realization of all the totally. scary. stuff. that's in the things that we put in, on and around our bodies everyday.

If you are at all concerned about knowing what's in your products, give Seventh Generation a try. Seriously. If you have anyone with sensitive skin, their laundry detergent is a must have. It cleans better that most that I have tried, leaves no residue or buildup and helps to keep our baby eczema free.

Try it, you'll like it.

 Better yet, join Generation Good. Get a coupon to try a full size detergent for FREE, like I did.

You'll never have to wonder what you're exposing yourself, your children, and even your pets to any longer.

pain was held,
like a head holds in what
it can't get. Some algebraic
thinking spiked the shock of
suffering.
no stilts could hold the weight
of my body dating the moment i fall
into the nation of you

ACTUALLY-caring has so much more
meaning than PRETENDING to care.

I over-think everything.
I think until "thinking" has finally
reached that point where it becomes
nothing more than a ridiculous (over-
analyzed), thought.

so, update.

no park. no picnic. just got sick.

last night, thought i was going to do nothing, but ended up with marcus & tyler.

fun, spontaneous. took lots of pictures. thought it was a good night.

woke up this morning...thought to myself, i'm going to post those pictures up on facebook. WRONG-O. no camera. M.I.A. now i am freaking out, already done crying all i can cry, now i have to wait for response from ty so i can see if i left it at his parents house. crossing my fingers....tightly. oh i am panicked. and so sad.

mmmm.

let your soul stand ajar, always ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. -emily dickinson.

i will have some free time tomorrow. i think i will take myself somewhere. perhaps a park or something. read, think, calm myself. be in the company of me. yes, sounds good. pack a picnic. take my big park blanket. hmmm. if all else fails and the weather does not cooperate, i will hop in the back of the subie. after all...it IS a subaru. my baby. (all beautiful once again)

i picked up vitamins today. i suspect that i am deficient in b12. as soon as i lay down, i will know if that was the problem...because the tingling will either be there or not be there. cross your fingers. i think i will be able to sleep soundly tonight. let's just have the same certainty that i will wake up when my alarm beckons.

i think i need to work more. no. i know i need to work more. because my hour cut is NOT giving me the same resources that my old hours once gave me. stupid freaking pity jobs for pity-seeking people who screw everyone else overrrr in their search for push-overs.. grrrr. i guess she needs it more than i do, and i will be kind and possibly passive in these circumstances. maybe some sort of opportunity will arise and i will be given a better position. i will have hope and faith.

john b. sheerin said this...

happiness is not in our circumstances, but in ourselves. it is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. happiness is something we are.

beautiful, i know.

how do we nurture our souls? by revering our own life. by reaching the best within ourselves. by taking chances and stretching our boundaries. by leaping into the unknown. by going places we've never been. by having faith and staring down our fears. by embracing our special uniqueness. by doing things for the fun of it. by slowing down, so the important things can catch up. by breathing in wide-open spaces. by walking in nature's wildness. by appreciating each day, moment by moment. by learning to live it all, not only the joys and triumphs but the pain and struggle. by giving more than we take. by being there for others. by making a difference. when we are living a life we love, our souls are singing and dancing.

is it possible

to rewind time?
i wish it was...so i could rewind to today before i cut my bangs. big mistake. now i will have to reconstruct my entire head of hair, since it looks terrible. not to mention that now that this hair will be constantly laying on my forehead, i am gonna be zit-zilla. oh bother. i am a fool.
my precious car gets fixed on the 19th of this month, so that makes me happy. my poor carrrr.
i want to go back to disneyland. is it possible to just live there? because that would make me so so happy. halloween looks so wonderful there, (not that it's not always wonderful there, because it IS.) my two favorite things in one. halloween & disneyland. christmas would be magical there. gosh. that place makes me a different woman. take me there!
i love halloween. i need to finish my costume before i am scrambling to get it done before the blessed date arrives. i am so excited to dress up, to be something else for one day. i wait for the day all year long. i've made my party favors-even though i'm not having a party to hand them out at... i guess i just like the act of making them. little ghosts, like elementary kids would do. i have nothing better to do with my extra time. i have no friends, nothing to do, nowhere to go. besides wal-mart i suppose. i find myself there when i am restless. i miss days of old where i actually had fun things to do. i pretend like i have so much to do, to fool other people and mostly to just trick myself.
before i depress myself i will go, turn on hocus pocus to watch in the company of myself, and hopefully drift off to neverland...where everything is happy.

i see things all the time and i think to myself..."i've got to remember this so i can share it!" yeah i always forget. so i think the thing to do in this situation is to carry a mini notebook and jot notes down and take pictures as well. i want a well documented life of experiences.
if you have never tried this, i suggest it...from a coffee shop (one that has lemonade), ask for a green tea (jasmine green tea is great, or zen tazo tea if you're a starbucks go-er) steamed with lemonade INSTEAD of water. it is glorious, i tell you. so good. if you go with a cup any larger than the smaller ones, i.e. 12oz., then maybe two tea bags would be a good idea. i'm getting one tomorrow.
i love the weather as summer turns to autumn. i am excited for falling leaves and to go to provo canyon. i love boots and jackets and scarves. mmmm. so ready for it all. autumn cuddles are always wonderful. hand holding. PARK CITTYYYY...with cuddles and hand holding and pretty outdoors. pc has it all. i wish i could get a season pass to snowboard this year. i miss it a lot! i miss the canyons. i even have a new subaru to test out in winter weather. i have no one to go with though :( i suppose occasional night boarding at brighton will suffice. better than nothing!
i need to say more, but i need sleep even more than that...
goodniiiiiight neverland

school's back in...i have a new routine to get used to again.
i have a communications class that i have to give 11 presentations in this semester. E-freaking-LEVEN. that's so many. i'm getting used to the idea that i will have to be constantly embarrassed.
then, dance & culture, yay...philosophy (i already wanna punch this annoying kid), and meditation, which i think will be what saves me.
um, dry sol makes your pits itch so bad. i haven't used it so long that i had almost forgotten. it's worth it though when you don't sweat out your armpits.
it's possible that i might go to 80s tomorrow night. i want to have jesse come with me, it'd be so much fun. i've got to pack my little bag i always take to slc with me so that i don't run out of supplies while i'm away from home (which is constantly since everything is 30 min-1 hour away).
i'm ready to take a nap tomorrow on my break, already...cause i know i will be a little tired.
little things keep happening everyday that remind me i need to write everything down. everything makes me laugh. and i keep seeing so many beautiful things. and the weather has been so wonderful. sheesh. the past week-ish has been soooo good, but before that was a little rough. i was so hard on jess. he's always so sweet, he never changed anything but i was so stressed out about other things that i took it out on him and i made it seem, in my head, that it wasn't my fault, it was jesse's. NO. i've stopped that, i realized it and we talked and i think i am doing better. i love him. he shows up today and i about fell over...he look daaaaang good. i'm a lucky girl...i have the best boyfriend. he's cute when he's sleepin and breathing hard too. awww my jesse.
I LOVE YOU BOO.

just one more thing before bed tonight...toyota prius commercials make me laugh everytime.
