I had a Groupon awhile ago that included this ionic footbath. I was just interested in the jade stone massage, but since it came in a package I used the service and it was very interesting. Whether or not it does what it claims, something turned the water orange and made my feet tingle! My joints would need detoxing.
The water slowly turned orange in my ionic footbath.
Apparently orange means I was detoxing from the joints.

Adorable, isn't it? Apparently it's a new trend, but cute eraser shapes don't seem that new to me.

Gives a whole new meaning to lemon-lime… my lime turned “lemon” due to the hot soup!

The final installation of the gallery of pictures from the Huntington Gardens. See Part 1 and Part 2. Click pictures for original size.
-
- This plant seems to want to be 2D.
-
- A dragonfly resting on a reed.
-
- A cluster of lily pads hides two secrets! Little turtles!
-
- One of them swims off and the other follows suit.
-
- I wonder if their necks get tired like that.
-
- A wasp takes a rest by my feet.
-
- I was really hoping to see a frog…
-
- This turtle was working on its tan.
-
- I figured a flower petal wouldn’t scare the koi as much, and was pretty much able to touch it with my ploy.
-
- I think it’s fascinating how large and tall lotus flowers are.
-
- Don’t step here! It’s a pond underneath! Check out the turtle poking out. 🙂
-
- That bird is up really high on this cactus tree thing.
-
- I love the wings! A bit of flash as they open up, then they retract and it goes away.
-
- Some of these desert plants grow really tall!
-
- I wonder if they get water up to the top the way the sequoias do.
-
- These cacti decided it wasn’t worth it to fight gravity.
-
- This is a pretty cool cactus. Looks like someone designed it with layers.
-
- This pretty much looks like a tree.
-
- They stand up so straight! They kind of look like fingers.
-
- Perhaps these flowers grow larger because they are closer to the ground and get more nutrients and water?
-
- They can grow pretty elaborately. It reminds me a type of coniferous tree, but I can’t remember what.
-
- These things grow almost as tall as palm trees!
-
- Cousin It in old age.
-
- This is one happy cactus!
-
- It looks rather like a snow globe. So perfectly round!
-
- This is quite the menacing cactus.
-
- So geometric… these would work as a great fence.

Check out the dishes of organic food available for one of the meals during the Opportunity Green conference.
I've never seen triangular pasta before. It was delicious! 🙂
Not sure what kind of grain this was...
I believe these are some sort of lima bean?
And in the back room, we got this for the volunteers. Veggie straws are so addicting!
Mass buying

I went on a bunch of shopping outings today and bought way more than your usual amount.
First, it was at Costco, with 14 gallons of milk, 7 gallons of creamer, 9 lbs of sugar, 3000 packs of Splenda, and 3 gallons of soy milk.
Then at Home Depot we took the entire display of buckets and then tracked down 4 more for a total of 30. Countless zip ties, nails, tape, and cords later, it was time to check out. Thankfully it all fit in my car ok.

Original Gangsters or Opportunity Green? 😛
Well, it’s that time of year again and I took a few days off from work to volunteer for Opportunity Green! Here’s a peek at what we were up to tonight…
We put plastic sleeves into the lanyard key rings.
We soon had a pile of plastic pieces that fell from the hole cutouts on the sleeves. Kind of a cool look, but don't worry, we cleaned it up. 🙂
The various ribbons we have to stick on the badges.
It's kind of like confetti static noise...
Would you have guessed it was a pattern on an AdVinylize bag? The lucky attendees get these lovely swag bags filled with goodies!

At a gathering awhile back, we had this delectable buffet home-cooked for us. If only I could have this kind of meal more often!
All home-cooked and delicious!
Mmm, a great selection of foods makes for a really appetizing dish.
