Misplaced Southerners Take One

November 22, 2009

ahhhhhhh today has been a thoroughly enjoyed “jenna-day”  if there has ever been one. Later this morning I made a shake for an early lunch using a scoop of pom. mango amazing meal, half a frozen banana, a handful of frozen strawberries and blueberries, raw spinach, a cup of almond milk and some naturally more pb—-

It was perfecttttttt :)

Then, on a total whim, I booked myself an hour massage. Let me preface by saying I am a total spa junkie. I ADORE massages…but haven’t had one for 3 YEARS! I’m a big believer in the power of human touch (aka I like to cuddle!) and believe massages are a necessary part of whole body wellness. Unfortunately, however, they come with a price tag. But…. I feel like it’s one of those things that is really worth it. On that note, I’m going to start a massage fund–saving a little bit here and there—and treating myself to a really nice one once a month. The one I had today was absolutely glorious and I could just feel all my tension and stress melting away. I have a lot on my mind right now and it was the perfect medicine. Afterward I felt like a whole new woman!

As my body was still all warm and loose from my massage, when I got home I did an hour of yoga! Honestly, it was probably the best yoga I’ve done in a very long time. My whole body just felt wide open and I was super bendy and flexy. :)

Snacked on a half cup of TJ’s yogurt with some dried cherries and a quarter cup of this yummy Swiss muesli that a reader sent me ages ago but I never opened till now. This muesli reminded me of France….really yummy and crunchy but not overly sweet like American granola can be.

Representing Texas, Georgia and Florida, the three of us make up the misplaced Southerners in California. I thought this was the perfect short story idea but Adam, of course, took it one step further and is making a video…..to be released!

Had a glass of Stryker Zin

And pure love on a platter:

Oh my gosh, it’s so good. I don’t even know what else to say. The little movie should be great though! ;)

So I’ve followed your blog for a while but have never commented. Would you believe that my motivation for commenting would be on the wine you get to drink?! I was out there a few years ago and discovered so many wines I couldn’t get in FL (where i was) and MA (where i am now). Sawyer, Stryker…I’m jealous! Go find Porter Creek and try their Zin. Yum!
