Really Orange

I bought a Vitamix a few weeks ago. I bought it in the hope that I would improve my health by eating (or drinking) meals with more nutrients. I won’t know until my next blood test whether my health has improved — my total cholesterol was 262 — but I certainly hope it has. I’ve added 30 minutes quick walks to my daily routine and I drink a smoothie (or fruit blend) each and every morning. I don’t want to use the Lipitor my endocrinologist prescribed.

Ingredients:

• 140 grams orange
• 146 grams mango
• 86 grams carrots
• 183 grams ice

Directions:

• Peel the mango, carrots and oranges and add to blender (Vitamix).

• Add ice and blend ingredients on high for 45 seconds.

The humidity and heat outside are way too high for my comfort. A co-worker and I walked around the outer loop of the mall near where we work. Whew! We returned a half hour later - after stopping in at Wegman’s for an iced latte - feeling drained. I’m not sure how I’ll maintain my exercise regimen during the summer.

Why I Don't Use Watermarks

As you may know, my work is all Creative Commons Non-Commercial. That means people, as long as they give credit and link back to http://www.StuckInCustoms.com , can use my images on their blogs, wallpaper, personal use – anything – as long as it is not used commercially. Every day, I upload a HUGE 6000+ pixel max-resolution image to the Internet. I do not have any fear at all… Believe me, it’s quite liberating living in a world without internet-stealth-fear. ~ Trey Ratcliff

Like Trey, I also don’t use watermarks on my photos and I use a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license. Watermarks ruin my experience of a photograph. It’s like listening to a great piece of music with someone talking in the background. It’s like watching a movie with someone making commentary the whole time.
