Veg Fest - A Staycation

Eddie had planned this great little escape - a run to raise awareness about farm animals followed by Veg Fest. What a guy! This trip was absolutely fantastic. We had a nice visit with my brother, then we headed downtown and walked around Seaport Village. Drinks/apps by the ocean, then movie time! We saw "A Family Man" and made it an early night. 7am short 5k with many carrying signs that had photos of chickens, pigs, or cows, which left us with plenty of energy to go for a quick breakfast and then Veg Fest. I had no idea they are trying to now make lab meat, basically meat made in a lab instead of raising an animal, but they need to kill baby cows to harvest it. The message - eat more plants. There was conflict on the panel on whether soy is good or bad. I'm more partial to say it's not bad. We left shortly after - these oldies need their rest! Great event, my hubs must really love me to take me to Veg Fest.

What a day! I loved hanging out with you.

2017 - A Reflection

It's hard to believe that I haven't blogged in so long. Even though a lot has happened, it also feels like not much has happened since then. Our halfs have slowed down and been replaced with heftier work responsibilities and a longer commute. We have become born again Vegans (at home Vegans - we still eat out and order what we want once or twice a week. We've both benefited from weight loss and more energy. Turning point was watching, "What the Health" on Netflix - it's life changing. Eddie celebrated his 20 year work anniversary - so proud of him! I exceeded and set records at work. I got a new massage therapist who used to be a doctor in China - she swears her work helps cure pain, improves appetite, and relaxation. I'm convinced she has magic powers, because I do feel better. I've finally finished decorating the house.

So what's on our dance card? I've developed a passion for vegan cooking - making tofu taste like cheese or chickpeas taste like tuna. It's a lot of fun. Eddie's been getting back into the gym. I stated a women's group last year, and our membership is growing. After a year of "all about work", we'll be looking forward to some much needed vacations. I officially could not complete the 2x spicy noodle challenge as seen on youtube. Warning, you may be in pain for the rest of the day.
