Running Around

This week has been filled with a lot of running around, errands and appointments.  I've been busy attending some continuing education classes to keep my professional credentials up so that I can renew my license.  And then for fun we also attended a really interesting seminar on body language.   It reminded me a lot of one of my favorite shows:

While the tv show focused on using these skills to help law enforcement, the presenter at the one I attended uses his in mentoring situations to help you become a better parent, spouse, communicator or business person.  I think there are valuable things to learn about non verbal communication.  I love learning new things.  The world sure is a fascinating place. 

But while running around today, we noticed that the end of Civilizzation is here.  Yes, you heard it was coming in 2012, but apparently our final day is on Monday.  Hurry!  Hug your children!  And get ready! ~wink~wink~

And so since we're speaking about running around, this is also the time of year I always seem to get the urge to run away.  To run away somewhere sunny.  I think a cruise or lounging on a sunny beach somewhere sounds heavenly about now.  I told my husband we should make it a yearly tradition to escape together somewhere warm.  Either that or send me to the spa because I could also use a nice pampering massage right about now too.

On a side note, I think I freaked my body out today by taking some allergy medicine that about knocked me out!  I could not keep my eyes open!  So then I decided to drink an energy drink...don't worry, it was a healthy version without carbonation, artificial sweeteners or mega doses of caffeine!

It was a natural one made from yumminess like goji berries, other superfruits and cacao that gets its energy kick from yerba mate and guarana, which by the way, we used to drink guarana soft drinks in Brazil all the time!  {Ahhhh!  Brazil!!!  I could definitely run away there today and be happy too!!!} You can get guarana over there either carbonated, or not.  I like it both ways.  The non carbonated version of guarana tastes somewhat like apple juice...sort of!  Anyway, I'm not sure my body knows what to think!  And I'm not sure if I will be able to sleep tonight now. 

If I end up not being able to sleep, I think I will try finishing this book while giving myself a clay facial and manicure.  At least that's a little spa-like pampering, {though the massage is what I really, really want right now.  And a nice sunny beach}!

All right, that's about it for now!  We are running off to a friends house for dinner and games!  Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!
