confessions...

this weekend was such an emotional roller coaster...we went to a wake friday night and a funeral/burial/reception all of saturday...what a sad sad sad day...it was so emotional...it's really hard to sit around and watch people you care about suffer the loss of a loved one...sometimes i wish i could put everyone i love into a box and save them from the hardships of this life...it is so hard to lose people...the funeral also brought back some sad memories of all of the people that i have lost...my heart is sore...when we got home saturday night, i needed a bit of smile so i dressed my little jackson up in a cardigan, wrapped around his little neck...i have to say that my little man is so gracious and such a great sport...



so, my confession is that...this weekend i broke...i totally bended and i didn't care about what it was that i ate...i ate SUGAR...i drank wine and sparkling wine...and so i am sad to say that my sugar cleanse has come to an end...i feel very guilty, but it was a good almost two weeks...i will start all over again, perhaps next week...but for now, i'm packing it in...and tomorrow i am making averie's raw vegan cheesecake...i'm thinking of changing up the crust a little...but...i guess you're gonna have to stay tuned and see what happens tomorrow...

this weekend wasn't all sadness and tears...my man's family is amazing...they are super fun and there is always some sort of party going on...his mom and her husband hosted an oscar party yesterday evening...there was a pool, which i lost...but it was so much fun hanging out with everyone...i was a little upset that meryl streep didn't win the oscar...i love sandra bullock, i think she's fabulous, BUT, meryl is even more fabulous...

here are some iphone photos of some my eats today...

amy's indian vegetable korma, i love indian food...and this was actually not bad...you should definitely try it...i love lentils and the dal was amazing!



roasted sweet potato mashed, topped with some homemade hot peppers and green onions...and some himalayan crystal sea salt...



i'm off to finish watching gossip girl...and then i am off to bed...i barely slept 3 hours last night...and i plan on making up for lost time tonight...hope you all have sweet dreams...
