Another Meatless Monday

Good Morning Coconut Cravers!
I have a bit to write about here in regards to the Raw food diet this morning. This weekend was eye opening and exciting.


Unfortunately a good friend of mine's father passed on last weekend, and the memorial service was friday, and the funeral this past saturday, feeling for him i've shed tears, realizing my own parents mortality, and not ever wanting to experience what he is, watching his mother having lost the one she loved so dearly, for over 40 years, heartbreaking. My friend I've known since childhood, and watching him tend to his mother was quite endearing and actually amazing, I'm so glad that I could be there to see it. He and his family are in my prayers, for these next few weeks are always the hardest.

Also,

In the office i work in there are only three of us, and unfortunately for me, our sales guy (whom i appreciated, and adored for his knowledge and humor) quit on Friday. Upon hearing this my boss, and the owner of the agency suggested his immediate removal from the office. This did NOT go well, and I will miss him, and his experience in large amounts. As he cleaned out his desk Friday I fought back both tears, and curiosity, and I, am a nosey, curious person, I wanted to hear the whole story, where was he going, did he have a new job? As I listened to him and my boss argue over what belonged to who, headsets, cameras, the works, I found myself wondering if now was my time to shine at work, I began planning my Monday power=house outfit. If i managed to sell 10 renters policies every two weeks, that would average an $100.00 bonus on my check, and with August being such an extreme month I could really use that help! So, I've been targeting all friends, family, and otherwise telling them all the ins and outs of insurance, and letting them know what I had to offer them as far as a renters policy was concerned. I think I'll have at least 50.00 extra dollars this week, in regards to renters policies.
Well after my co-worker left my boss stated that we needed to meet, and I hesitant as I had a very important memorial service to go to resigned my concerns and entered his office.

Now, I'm already uncomfortable with the idea of having to be alone with my boss on a day-to-day basis, here we are alone in his office, his sales guy just having quit, and he tells me he will be bonusing me each week a hefty enough amount for none of my bills to go delinquent. I was delighted. Naturally my beau and I had to celebrate, we enjoyed sushi! (of course mine was vegetarian, on account of the allergy to shell fish, and overall distaste for seafood.)

Now for the exciting food-stuff!
I found a new haven this past weekend. Loris Natural Foods, good lord Almighty thank you so much. This store has a section dedicated to raw foodists, it also has the best bulk section i could ever ask for, and Delicious raw macaroons, (granted the ones from oneluckyduck.com are far more deeeelish, but these ones can help me cut costs so i can afford things i recently discovered i like!) <--- one of these being...Coconut Milk!!!!

I have uncovered a world of happiness for myself. I enjoyed coconut milk yesterday, and this morning, and its just great, i really enjoy it. Jeremy and I also picked out a coconut, that we're going to open and eat!

I also picked up some mejool dates, and goji berries, as well as received my Ani Phyo book in the mail...raw recipes here I come! big plans for mango sorbet, and "Mexican scramble" and "sweet corn chowder" all in all, a solid weekend.


Until next time, keep keepin it healthy, and try some coconut milk!!


PS. Jeremy has a HUGE opportunity in which to obtain "THAT" job, keep your fingers crossed world...

PPS. I'm thinking for dinner on this meatless Monday, I'm thinking a tomato based gazpacho, or a veggies on a skewer grilling piece...we'll see!
