Me? Trying to be sneaky? Psh! But thanks for the rep points anyway. I'm the old fart in years only. I really think that we don't change at all, only in appearance. Sure we may moderate our behaviour. Well.....some of us do & it's not necessarily a good thing. I still think the same as I did when I was about 18, even though I'm 55! I love your attitude Alta & really enjoy your diary. It livens up my day.Sorry about the ankle but it won't keep you out of action for long. I think you were born for action! Cheers, Cate.

haha.....CATEEEEE!!!
!!! I love that train of thought!!! It's funny that you say that, because last night me and my bf were in the car going to some party, and I read your post here from my phone, and it launched me into a train of thought D: especially after 3 shots ...
!) about how right you are!!!! 
....We as people, I believe, don't change much at all on the inside as we grow older either...I mean Yes, OUR SHELLS on the OUTSIDE....say that we are different, but really , as you say,...we don't change that much! Nope! ...(personality wise, good traits)
...So you made me smile and I started telling my bf about you last night
:...and how OMG 
...you INSPIRE the WORLD with your BAD SELF 
...and how there are so many people out there look up to you SO MUCH because of your AMAZING AMAZING attitude primarily above all, but I believe as well because you apply "ACTIVITY KNOWLEDGE" in accordance with "LEARN KNOWLEDGE" to your life!! A lot of us never really gear out of that "learn knowledge" stage and expect results when we have no "activity" going on! It's just not gonna happen!....We are meant to always be evolving from those back and forth....learn, activity, learn, activity, and so forth! ....and through that you attain what you have.....SUCCESS THROUGH THE JOURNEY OF BECOMING A BETTER YOU...STILL EVOLVING...STILL GROWING....AND STILL ATTAINING LEARN KNOWLEDGE & ACTIVITY KNOWLEDGE!! !!! ..."Activity Knowledge" = Where you learn best by DOING..hands on...EXPERIENCE..what actually gets the results
..."Learn Knowledge" = Where you spend time cultivating the thoughts and plans and learning to get you ready for "Activity Knowledge and to deal with the things that come from applying activity knowlege"!
...I was telling him how right off the bat, I LOVE reading your diary, and I love the way you analyze things and how you put it, and how DOWN TO EARTH you are...and that it makes me feel real comfortable! (a lot of people on here have such amazing effects on me!! Its GREAT!) And I was telling him what you said about not changing much and we definitely agreed with comparisons from childhood to now...and how DEEP inside ...we are STILL the same!!
...hahah....Speaking of never growing up....haha....(THIS IS NASTY)...LOL...!!!
...this morning we woke up, and EVERY MORNING we wake up, we do so laughing...Guaranteed right...so I wake up singing and then we start joking around and playing and torturing the dog...lol....and then I start telling him how "OMG...you wouldn't believe the size of my freakkkin CRAPS now since I went RAW.....hahaha, they're like MOBY DICKS reliving the TITANIC sinking...POOOSHHH DOWNNN WE GO MATTTEY...but no really HUGGGE"!!! hahah..."I mean Come on don't youuuuuu talk to your POO too and give it little names ?"
.....and he said...."haha....I MEAN no...I'm not 3 anymore...!!!!" hahaha..........."Well shit then, I guess CATE is right, hahah cause I AM!!! hahah"!!!!
.....moral of the story: YOU ARE RIGHT, WE AS ADULTS ARE MERELY CHILDREN STUCK IN ADULT'S BODIES....THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE TAKEN BACK BY IT, and there are THOSE WHO NEVER LET THEIR SPIRIT DIE! ....live life baby!.....
.....that made me SUPER SUPER happy to know....that we don't change much as we get older....because honestly, I LOVE MY OPTIMISTIC, FUNNY, PHILOSOPHICAL COMEDY CHILD LIKE APPROACH TO MY LIFE! I WOULDN'T WANT TO CHANGE THAT ABOUT ME FOR THE WORLD!!! ....and it looks like I don't have to after all. eh.....

...cleansing teas are GREAT for you!! I used one called "smooth move"...hahah....I'm sure it's not such a SMOOTH MOVE
when you REALLY got to go around people!! ...haha....but hey..whatever floats your boat right...call it what you want!...
!....I hope it's working out for you
I love teas!...I let up on the tea now though , just because I took so long to cleanse from it that I realized I was drinking too much of it, and too much of anything is not good! (and my tea machine is broken and gone...lol )So....every now and then to curb hunger at night if I'm REALLY starved to pick at shit
in the FRIDGE...(that I damn well want to steer clear from)...I'll pop in a tea in the microwave and make it REAL REAL hot...so it'll last me longer and keep me away from temptation long enough to overcome the craving with heat and MIND TALK...haha !!

Exercise Yesterday: 1 hour Sauna- 10 mins of Yoga Poses
didn't do much-at least I made it there though..
Exercise Tonight: (they have a really great outdoor heated pool at this other Bally's I went to last night....honestly yeah it's out of the way, but I've never been tempted to become a swimmer before because I was embarrassed about my body
and I didn't like the pools! I decided since my ankle is still busted....I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING and I think this sounds fun....
...to become a swimmer...I will have to do this in the morning...meaning that I have to get up and be out of the house by 5:50 am to be in the pool by 6:30 am latest....swim for like 40 mins, then sauna for an hour...and then OFF to work! ....I think I could do this 2 times a week, and catch an afternoon swim during the week sometime as well!!! I AM EXCITED!!!
Dinner Last Night: Kale Salad with Yummy Raw Sauce-
Alfredo Sauce w/ Cucumber Slices-looked like Pasta

All I need now it to get a BRITA water thinga majiggy...so that my water can be less contaminated and I won't have to buy bottled water cause it's annoying me and it is way more expensive to eat RAW, but I figure ...
