I thought this would be easy, I had the perfect girl’s name, but I do not have the perfect boy’s name. And guess what I am having? Yea.

It has to be two syllables, at most three. Easy to pronounce. A nice ring. A strong presence. Very unique. I don’t want hundreds of people to have the same name (since his last name will be common). Also, I don’t want the name to be associated with any culture (nor any religion!). This has to be the name of a brighter future! So I thought about using scientific names, like Argon or Radon. My husband is against this of course. I’m also trying to invent a new sounding name, but unfortunately nothing unique is coming up, they are all taken! So let me know if you have something!

This is an adage I think I will go by! Doesn’t mean you have to be overtly nice to everyone. Sometimes snapping a good point they disagree with helps too! Just do it in a diplomatic un-insulting manner.

Is it possible to have a completely healthy life? Can we have work, fitness, fresh food, academics, hobbies, family and friends all at the same time? Or can we only pick a few?

Well, I imagine that in this “healthy” society where you have it all, the friends and family would be involved in either (or all of) work, fresh food, academics, fitness and/or hobbies. Example, instead of hanging out with your friend/family in the living room watching tv or going to a cafe just chatting, you would have that chat as the soundtrack when going to the gym together, going to the groceries together, cooking together, taking a class together, etc. Shared experience is what makes for stronger relationships, not only shared interest or chemistry.

Another thought:

Eating a plant based diet on a budget may not be expensive, but it takes a lot a lot a lot of time! If you make everything from scratch and fresh, be prepared to be a slave in your own kitchen, all day, every day. It’s gotten to the point where I have two dish dry racks! You will most likely go to the grocery store once a day, and sometimes even twice.

Oh and I’m not even mentioning having an edible garden!

Well we always make a stop on the way to a good old fashion BBQ restaurant, (otherwise we eat mostly vegan!)

 

 

 

Once the man’s hangers are over, we then ride our bikes a few laps in this dedicated bike park in Austin called the Veloway.

 

 

Oh and then we visit the suspected secret studios of InfoWars! The hub of all the conspiracy-funnies!

 

 

Later on that day, we went to see ‘She Wants Revenge’, the real reason why we even went to Austin that weekend!

 

No trip to a big city is complete without going to Ikea and getting some modern furnishings!

Other things that weren’t pictured in this trip includes our stay at a tiny house with outdoor shower and compost toilet, seeing millions of bats coming out under the bridge (it was too dark to take a picture), and getting bread at a legit closest-to-french bakery!
