Over the years, the products have even become better tasting, much like Passover treats. And now that I find myself adapting to a limited food list so that I can balance my yin and yang, I feel drawn to <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">almond milk</span>. Soy is not recommended for my particular imbalance but even if it were, rice milk would be a better option.<br />Today on the shelves of the health food store behold <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">oat milk</span> and <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204); font-weight: bold;">spelt</span>, bringing a whole new understanding to crying over the white/beige puddle on the floor.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02111429010630782841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10298285.post-9052751131427068512008-07-03T11:35:00.003+03:002008-07-03T15:55:13.485+03:00On a QuestOnline gaming is one of my favorite things to do.<br /><br />Here are a few really fun adventure ones:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/games/questionaut/pop.shtml">Questionaut</a> <a href="http://amanita-design.net/thequestfortherest/">Quest for the Rest</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.bamba.co.il/quest/">Quest 1</a> and <a href="http://www.bamba.co.il/quest2/">Quest 2</a><br /><br />Enjoy!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02111429010630782841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10298285.post-18435376808850463662008-06-16T15:36:00.005+03:002008-07-03T15:53:38.771+03:00Hueful MomentsToday on the bus I saw a gal with <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">aqua</span> hair and a mostly black outfit with a <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">red</span> belt of a skirt.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Brown</span> has been the new <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);">black</span> for some time now which has made my black shoe search that much more difficult. Even though I have been wearing lots of colors lately and my brown sandals from the Old City work with it all just fine, I still want/need black. Maybe this upcoming vacation will prove fruitful.<br /><br />I tried to sell some jewelry today. Some was real <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">gold</span> and some was just chintz.

I asked, "Am I wearing too many <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">br</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">ow</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">ns</span>?" To which someone replied, "Yes." Then they went on to say that I was not wearing any other color which meant they understood the question as ...too much <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">brown</span>.
