I HATE the cold, I hate it I hate it I hate it.

I want the sun to come back...

Or at least for it to snow to compensate for the freaken cold. I hate this cold wind with no purpose.

Here's a recipe for a simple one-serving chocolate cake that you can make in only 5 minutes!

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp. cake flour (you can substitute all-purpose flour if you don't have cake flour, but it turns out better with cake flour)
4 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbsp. milk
3 Tbsp. oil

You'll also need a coffee mug and a microwave.

Step 1: Mix flour, sugar and cocoa in the coffee mug.
Step 2: Mix in the egg.
Step 3: Add milk and oil, mix well.
Step 4: Put the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes.
Step 5: Wait until the cake stops rising out of the mug, then remove from the microwave.
Step 6: You can either eat the cake right out of the mug or put it on a plate and eat it <3

You know there is a certain sense of hell at 12:30 in the morning after spending the last three hours writing papers. It's made worse when you realize that your pet is sick.

Serenity has had a cold for the last week. She is cold to the touch, puffed out, her eyes and nose are running,and has raging diarrhea.

Shit, Cleo has a lump, I am pretty sure it is a tumor.

Went to see traitor last night. It was really good a little heavier then what I was in the mood for but really good. I had fun just being able to go out with my guy.

Kind bummed at myself because I forgot about class last night... I swear I am such a ditz.

I am also bummed because of all the recent drama with my family. My sister is pissed at me, my dad is mad at me, actual I think my mom is the only one who isn't mad at my, which is the real shocker... and they wonder why I don't get involved in their lives anymore.

All the drama has brought back my stomach issues so I am sure it is IBS. And I haven't had real food to eat all this week so lots of fun there.

I wanna go here... http://www.ecobioitza.org/escuela/home.html

I am so sick of my dreams... really would it be so much to ask for for one night to go by with me killing someone or someone killing me, or just crap going on...

Today I am going to talk to you about my trip to California. This spring I went to Mendicino California to study herbalism on an organic farm. I am going to tell you why I went, some information about the program I was in and my experience there. So lets talk about why I went to California.


I have always been interested in herbalism. I have attened a few lectures and read a few books but no serious studies. When I dropped out of college I felt more then a bit lost and unhappy with my life. Deciding since I had already earned the title the "bad kid" with my parents I said what the heck and drove out to California get a more serious education in herbalism. I joked to everyone that I was off to be a hippy.

The program I signed on with was called WOOFERS Willing Workers On Organic Farms. It is an international volunteer/ work study program. Woofers takes people from all walks of life and alows you to live and work on an organic farm. Many of woofers are interested in sustainable agriculture, renewable recourses and the environment. I wasn't surprised that I found a farm with a master herbalist who was teaching classes, I was surprised that my earlier joke that I was off to be a hippy was a bit close to the mark.

Turns out the master herbalist was fresh off the commune. Not to mention the whole caring for the environment meant cutting out a few wasteful activities, like showering everyday turned to every 5 days. It was a little closer to nature then I had planned on. But I bit my tounge and jumped in. I stayed with Mary Pat the master herbalist for a month and had a blast. I learned so much about the environment and herbalism. More importantly I learned that sometimes you need to just set your eyes on a goal and do it, no stopping, no quiting just doing it.

I had an amazing time on the farm. I got to do many things where growing up in the city I just read about. I feel like my time out there taught me how to focus and really made me resolve to accomplish more with my life. Woofers is a great program that allows people to learn more about agriculture and themselves. I left for California because I felt lost. I didn't find myself out there, I found my backbone.

Reality seems to be swimming back and forth today... hum I am going to go hug a tree.

So it's 2:30 in the morning and I feel like I just had three cups of coffee... dang
