Spent a goodly portion of the beginning of this year not bothering with the blogging. That was mainly the result of some sucky people who have tried relentlessly to bring me and my fave peeps down online. Some journalist types apparently got wind of it - tracked the whole thing online (all over cyberspace) and have finally contained the venomous virtual snipers with some ass kicking fact checking and general pointing out of their lameness. So I am back online after absenting myself from the tediousness of these morons slinging poop at my blog and across my beloved's screens. Recently figured out that nobody reads their crap but themselves - so onward Blogging soldiers! May they find peace, but may they cease with the slanderous BS already!

I am loving the new adventures in Poolesville proper. Been busier than a one legged man in a butt kickin contest and I must say I misjudged this little not-tropolis. There is a plethora of alternative energy loving, veggie eating, world peace seeking personage in a town I would have thunk to be bored with the whole idea of changing the world! Kudos to outer MoCo for surprising me.
The daily grind of market life is fun and poses useful challenges to my comfort zone (and that 3 minute commute is very Sedona-esque!) I do still hope to find a creative niche as I miss my poetry-reading-ASL-tutoring-good-times-having crew of them there Red Rockers! But this shall fall into place soon... feareth not.
Due to some uber-complex-complexities, it also looks as though I will not make a reunion I had hoped to make next weekend. I will pray for any last minute miraculous miracle thingies - but it would take a big one for the obstacles to re-arrange and clear my deck for a run to the reuniting scene. So I hope that there is much love shared in my absent-ness... and I know how much I love them peeps of yester-yore. Even if I don't get to go hug their necks like I'd hoped, cue up some sentimental Air Supply karaoke and chat of cheenies gone by.
Keep your prayers focused on the love of the many who have shaped and made happy your path in life! And prayers for swift recovery of my sis-n-law who's been ill.
To my new home-girl of the veggie realm - if you happen upon my blogishness here is your shoutout:... "it's as if I'm scared... it's as if I'm terrified!" LOL. It was either that or "RELAX... take it EeEeasy".
Peace out peeps. Still thinking 'bout Food Inc. today... rent, or borrow it. Seriously. Much food for thought on your thought for food!
Til next time.

Food Inc.
What an amazing eye opener. Have you all seen it yet? If you are a person that eats food... you should require yourself to rent or download this amazing documentary.

Learn more about these issues and how you can take action on Takepart.com
1)Stop drinking sodas and other sweetened beverages.
You can lose 25 lbs in a year by replacing one 20 oz soda a day with a no calorie beverage (preferably water).
2)Eat at home instead of eating out.
Children consume almost twice (1.8 times) as many calories when eating food prepared outside the home.
3)Support the passage of laws requiring chain restaurants to post calorie information on menus and menu boards.
Half of the leading chain restaurants provide no nutritional information to their customers.
4)Tell schools to stop selling sodas, junk food, and sports drinks.
Over the last two decades, rates of obesity have tripled in children and adolescents aged 6 to 19 years.
5)Meatless Mondays—Go without meat one day a week.
An estimated 70% of all antibiotics used in the United States are given to farm animals.
6)Buy organic or sustainable food with little or no pesticides.
According to the EPA, over 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used each year in the U.S.
7)Protect family farms; visit your local farmer's market.
Farmer's markets allow farmers to keep 80 to 90 cents of each dollar spent by the consumer.
8)Make a point to know where your food comes from—READ LABELS.
The average meal travels 1500 miles from the farm to your dinner plate.
9)Tell Congress that food safety is important to you.
Each year, contaminated food causes millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths in the U.S.
10)Demand job protections for farm workers and food processors, ensuring fair wages and other protections.
Poverty among farm workers is more than twice that of all wage and salary employees.
Peace ya'll...
