Inspired

I get all inspired to write in my blog, and then I can't remember the correct user name and password!! I have so many accounts with school, work, and bill paying, I'm surprised I can get any of them correct... not to mention FB and the various entity accounts I have there! (so I can work the facilities on my farm... but nevermind!)

Whatever my difficulties, I am inspired today to babble and share, so here goes...

I have been greatly inspired by a guest room I saw on this past season of The Bachlorette with Ashlee. There was a big line drawing of a flower. After actually emailing a wonderful guest manager at one of the Figian resorts, we managed to track down what I was looking for at the Sheraton Figi resort.

The art is actually in more than one guest room, so I think it's a wallpaper pattern. Anyway, I have the terrific idea to free-hand paint this design on my bedroom walls. It would actually be on the wall opposite of the window but it would wrap onto the wall with the headboard, about a quarter of the flower would. I need to make it a little smaller, and change the angle of the leaf more to my liking, and maybe add a bud, but I think this is what I want to do.

Of course, I have to muster up the self-confidence that I can actually succeed in this endeavor. Free-hand drawing with paint is a big deal!

I'll let you know how it goes :)

Don't Know

Well, there are a lot of things I don't know...

but I would sure like to know what the people in the Midwest did to get God so PO'd at them! Floods, Tornadoes and now record breaking heat!

Here's today Heat Index (that's heat with humidity temps) map with breaking records across 15 states per Weather.com:

Praise God I live in Oregon !! :)

Implosion

Human emotions are great... just not all at the same time! Geez!!

Inside

Never Ending

Just kinda the way I feel right at this moment.

What's in the Food?

I finally caught up with Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. I think I was trying to catch it all last year and could never find it. Season 2 has opened with a bang as the Los Angeles Unified School District would not allow him into their schools, and when one charter school allowed him in, he wasn't able to even look through the windows into the cafeteria, let alone the actual kitchen area. What's the deal!!?

If I were a parent in those schools, I would be livid... what are they serving my child in his school lunch or snack that can't be shared with a chef or the media?

I guess LAUSD had their feathers ruffled after the Season 2 premier so they finally invited the media for a first hand look...

The article says: Chef Mark Baida has 77 cents per plate to put together a good tasting, good for you meal, although you'll still see pizza and burgers on the menu.

The food is baked not fried and served in proper portions.

"We've eliminated all the palm oils, we've eliminated MSG, we've eliminated a lot of trans fats. Everything that we serve is whole grain or whole wheat at least 51 percent," said Barrett.

Uh, so why wouldn't you let Jamie view this in the first place?

Ought be and interesting season... Catch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on ABC on either Tuesday nights or Friday nights, I'm unsure.

We all might learn a thing or two about nutrition, or the "system".
