Let me in your inner dome

I am addicted to people....this is no secret.....but it takes the right type of people to turn my crank...I can't just get addicted to any ol person.....there are people that are unique and interesting but quite frankly annoying as hell to me.....so no....I am not addicted to them. What is it that piques my interest of a person? I have no freakin clue...it's like a crap shoot....there is no pattern so far....I can't say what the "selling point" lol....of a person's brain....some people will say one sentence and I just have this drive to not let them leave and I need to ask them 20 more questions immediately, there are times when they just cross my path, don't say a word and I just have this feeling that I need to pick their brain. It's the brain picking I love the most.....to dive into the depths of the person's brains...their pattern of thinking and thought process, the understanding of what and why.
I probably should have gone to school to be a physiologist, but I'd have to listen to everyone lol....even the annoying ones...lol..and that would suck....cause it's all fun and games till someone gets punched in the head.
So...if you meet me, and I'm asking you many questions....run while you still can....cause if you don't....it's gonna be a long long visit lol.

Eye eye doctor

So it's been about 4 years since I have seen an eye doctor and today I had an appointment to see if there were any changes.
So since we moved, this eye doctor is new to me. He is a young buck, and a funny one at that. Just like the pic above...he asked the usual..."is one better then 2, is 6 more or less then 7"....to which I answered "I failed math"....so he giggled a bit, finished up his test, entered his "findings" and then turned to me to tell me my results.
So he says to me "Robyn...over the next four years or so your gonna find your self pulling the book further away or closer to you, like your adjusting to make it clearer.....this will get worse and worse"
I replied with "Well aren't you just the bad news bear.....are you telling me this because I'm getting old....er...ish?"
He said "Well....I'm just trying to gently point out the obvious"
I couldn't get mad at him...he was freakin funny, and he said that for all the years I have ever teased anyone about them taking off their glasses to see better.....well....it's payback time.
I still can't believe I had to pay 90 bucks for a test that took less then 10 minutes, and included questions like, is 4 better then 5 and he entered a few things in the computer. Sheesh...these doctors.....eye tell ya :-)

Farmers market frenzy

First stop after breakfast with family in the big city yesterday was a farmers market my son goes to all the time. It did not disappoint me either. I was able to pick up treats for the hubster and myself.
After that my son directed me to a super awesome natural market (health foods type) store. I would usually head to Planet Organic when in the city, but I have now discovered this one thanks to my son and it too was awesome.

One of my favorites...picked up this hand made toque at the farmers market.

Some rather unique flavors of jerky at the farmers market for the hubster.

OMG...these are sooooo good, the next time I am in the city, I will be buying HANDFULS of these!

I have found this awesome glass water bottle that allows you to keep your lemon on the top and squeeze when ever you want more lemon....brilliant, as I love fresh lemon in my water...and it's so good for you!

Talk to me....like lovers do

It's not shocker....my personality to those that know me.....I like people.....in fact I like strangers most....cause their story is unknown and I want to know all about it. For some the idea of wanting to listen to others or hear them is...well...not appealing. For me....well this is my life desire...I wish I could just spend my whole day and the rest of my life....talking to strangers and meeting new people all the time. Humans are so interesting and so intriguing, how can one not want to talk to them all lol.
Each person has a different perspective on something...and each person you meet in your life knows at least one thing that you didn't...so yeah...that's pretty awesome!
Do I get shy with new people? Sometimes.....other times I don't know what happens to me, but my mouth is talking before I am thinking and the receiver is often open mouthed shocked, but they always come around....eventually lol.
I wish the rest of the world was like this....just as interested in "hearing" others, wanting to really care and know about someone other then themselves....what a wonderful feeling that would be.
So go out there, talk to someone you don't know and have never met, make your self vulnerable and just be yourself!!!!

Spice spice baby

Me: Ummmm....hunny...I think we are spice hoarders.
Hubster: Ummmmm....hunny....it's all your fault, you always tell me when we are in town that you need this one or that one, and I can't check the cupboards first to see if we have it already or not.
Me: I don't know what your talking about....I haven't needed or used half of these freakin spices that are now taking over our kitchen.
This is how my Monday afternoon was spent....taking every spice jar, container, bag, package that was in the cupboard or box or black hole lol and combining them all into my canning jars and labeling them....my husbster did not stop sneezing for two hours LOL.
However.....FINALLY it's all organized and labeled and we BOTH now know what we have and I am pretty sure we won't be buying any spices for a year lol.
Now....to spice things up :-) spice spice baby!!!

Oh for the love of Paneer

There are many things I have been able to give up.....cheese is the hardest one for me.....I had a wee bit of a challenge with milk, but now that I am fully on the almond milk I don't miss regular milk at all....in fact, the thought of guzzling milk like I used to makes me wanna wretch lol.
So I struggle with the whole cheese thing.....especially PANEER...OMG...I freakin LOVE this stuff.....today I am making Paneer Tikka Masala for lunch....the smells in the house are delicious!

Please....try to focus on the Paneer dish here....not the pigs doing it on top of the stove.....perverts lol.

So I  have to decide which of these bags are gonna be my underneath dish for my Paneer yummyness.
Either way it does not matter.....cause no matter what....I shall make a PIG of myself eating this for lunch!!!

When strangers become friends

Last summer I met these three strangers....I am proudly able to call them friends now. People that I can call up and say "hey....I'm in town, lets go grab some food".....or in one gals case who is in this photo....I was able to call her and say "hey....how the heck do you sew the neckline of a shirt?".....to which she responded with "come on over and I'll show you how".
The gal on the far left (on my right) is the one who "picked up a stray"...meaning me :-) She saw my add on the festival site and for the first time in her life, she took a chance she said for some reason and just felt moved to answer me and pick me up.
Well....who knew.....that it would turn out like it has. This weekend she came out from the big city (Calgary) and came for a visit. I now call her the city mouse and myself the country mouse. Well.....when the city mouse comes to the county she brings awesome city treats from fancy stores for us!

She had some awesome city fancy name for these....something like Macrons? Not sure...but soooooooooo freakin yummy and delicate...and she also brought the hubster some awesome smoked super uber thin buffalo meat...so he was so happy to get treats too lol.
It just feels so good to be so blessed by life's events and how they change things.....I am so happy to have met this wonderful group, and to be able to call them friends. We look forward to many more fun times with them all....the next one being in June when we go to the city for a fun adult musical dinner theater with some more city fancy food and company.
However, we can't wait that long to see them....so the next time we are in the big city....the fancy friend who came for a visit this weekend is taking us out for Ethiopian food...CANNOT WAIT......so excited.
I really really like the city mouse....just sayin :-)
