In one short week, you'll be able to get your hands on the swankiest, most fun outdoor-sy stamps you've ever laid eyes on. On May 29 -- next Friday -- The Cat's Pajamas will be introducing two new sets: Happy Camper (full of critters and camping stuff) and Nightie (a FABULOUS alphabet no stamper or scrapper will be able to resist)!
As an RVer, I *LOVE* images with campers, so it's no surprise this is one of my favorites from the Happy Camper set: Isn't that retro wagon and trailer fantastic? What do you think about the ribbon and buttons? You likey? Well, guess what? TCP is coming out with it's own line of accents, too, perfectly coordinated to go with the new sets! Here's what the Great Outdoors Trims and Buttons look like:
Aren't those delicious?! Don't you just want to eat 'em up??? Okay, maybe that's just me, considering I haven't had anything but 'lemonade', salt water, or senna tea for the last 36 hours...
Master Cleanse, Day 2:
So far? So good. No hunger whatsoever. I'm not even allowing myself to think about food. For example, I was folding clothes earlier and searching the channels for something to watch. Top Chef was on Bravo -- I love Top Chef, and haven't seen it in months. Normally, I'd be all over it. But today? It seemed like a bad idea to be watching a show about cooking and food when I'm not going to be chewing anything until a week from Sunday. I settled for Cold Case Files on A&E instead. Nothing like a little blood guts to quash the appetite.
Disclaimer!
If you have a weak stomach and don't like reading about other's digestive system (a delicate way of saying POOP), you might just want to stop reading right now. You've been warned.
Here's the deal about the Master Cleanse. It's a cleanse -- all sorts of yucky stuff are being flushed out of your system. Any my poor system? Is very polluted. My eating and drinking habits are atrocious. Which might be one of the reasons I'm not very... regular, if you know what I mean. The wind blows? I'm stopped up. We go on vacation? Forget it. Nothing's leaving until we get home, for sure. So imagine my surprise when I woke up out of a dead sleep last night having to do number two. Now mind you, it wasn't one of those nice, S-shaped number twos that Dr. Oz and Oprah are always raving about. Only in my dreams do I have those. No, this was ... splashy. Gross, I know, but at least my beleagured colon is getting a rinse.
A couple of you have asked about measurements and letting you know the number of inches I lose. I will do that and post the results a week from Sunday.
One other thing: but for the trip to the bathroom, I slept like a baby last night. Fell asleep before ten and woke up about 6:15 a.m. (Actually, Carter woke me up saying, "Mommy! I'm your alarm clock! Wake up!" Couldn't find the snooze button on him to save my life...). I'd love to get in the habit of getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night -- maybe that's one more benefit that will come from this exercise.
I'll be back tomorrow with a sample for Jen's SFYTT and thoughts on Day 3 of the Master Cleanse. See you then!
