I’m not sure what was different about this year – whether I’m older and give less of a shit about things (possibly) or I was more organized (HA!) or what but this year’s party prep and the party itself went quite smoothly. Everyone had a good time, lots of food to eat, poolside chillin’ and decent weather. I’m beginning to wonder if taking these new E3 supplements was of some emotional mood assistance.

What are these E3 things?
I read about them over at Danielle LaPorte’s site called “White Hot Truth” and thought I’d try them out. Here’s the deets if you’re at all interested.
What I can tell you is that I was happy whether I was cleaning (I know, right??) or shopping or whatever. I was just feeling good and happy. Centered. I was thinking about that last evening after everyone had gone home and it dawned on me that the only thing I was doing differently was taking these supplements. I started them Friday when I got them (as Kim and I were running errands and whatnot) and wasn’t tired at all until the end of the day. Normally, I need a break from *NOISE* but I did just fine. And when I was enjoying cleaning yesterday, I knew something was up!
It might not be the case forever, but for now, I think these supplements are helping to balance my body chemistry out in a most beneficial way. I ordered more of them today.
Random thought to go with random photo: wish I were at the beach with Cousin O’Cool and the boyz in her life.
Plans for the month
I need to dive back into PI this month. Not sure what’s been going on – well, I sort of am and not even really sure how or if to explain it. It has to do with my willingness to give up power rather than stand in it. As if Duty and I have some karmic agreement that we both cannot have the “power” in the relationship. That’s about all I can ‘splain now. It’s sort of beyond words, if that makes any sense. But I’m ready to step back into things and move forward. One of my key signals that I’m sitting in a ditch is the amount of time I’ll spend reading the Sarah Palin blogs. And it’s been over the top of late. Granted, there’s an enormous amount of schadenfreude going on because I cannot wait for her downfall. It’s so totally coming. And I’ll be right there with popcorn and soda in hand.
