Sans Facebook Weekend 1

Considering what to include in one's blog brings about the dreadful thought, "Why is anyone even going to read this?"  It's not like Facebook, where my friends alone were my audience.  Toss a bone, and the wolves are hungry to devour all of the, "WTF's,"OMG's" and "FML's," that any friend (or relative, acquaintance, co-worker, or well, you know...) may be experiencing at that current moment.  And then of course there's the "my-toddler-is-potty-trained-see-the-#2-in-the-toilet," "my-life-is-amazing-clearly-based-solely-on-this-bike-ride-i-went-on-today," and "i-really-just-needed-one-more-selfie-with-a-duck-face" pictures.  And you certainly can't blog about those.

Or perhaps you can, and I'm perhaps being too harsh (i can appreciate the potty-training excitement, even if i don't require a picture to do so).  After all, I'm about to ask you to care about my weekend.  And my life did feel pretty amazing today with a casual frisbee-toss at the park and enjoying the fruits of my first crack at homemade ginger ale before bed.

Either way, I'll be self-important enough to act as though you find the following all very fascinating.  Who knows, you've made it this far....

What would a good weekend be without snuggles with King Tut, very regally pictured here.

Or how about waking up late and, post-juicing, inventing a vegan brunch scramble with only what I already had in the kitchen.  I was pretty pleased with myself for the creating of this tasty dish.  Red potatoes fried in a small amount of olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and chili powder.  Added cauliflower, cabbage, and a diced veggie patty.  Dang, I even tried some nutritional yeast at the end.   
Now for some sunshine in the park, which really just does make everything feel perfect and inspired.

And a few more highlights of things I enjoyed with my time.

Oh, and that up there - the aforementioned homemade ginger ale.  Found a great recipe with honey, but I'll use less honey and more ginger next time. 
There I went, writing all about my facebook-less weekend, hoping it seems altogether entirely thrilling.  And indeed, it felt inspired, creating my own world, instead of being incessantly frustrated with the one that has been created for me.  Perhaps I'm hoping, that if you made it with me this far, you'll feel inspired, too.  If you want more, I'm trying another new thing/project tomorrow - fermenting vegetables!

  1. I love this so much! How confining the digital spaces we're in can be, without our even realizing it. Fly, bird, fly! <3<3<3
