Disjointed Thoughts
I need to write a recipe book! You KNOW you’d want to buy it!! 
LOL!! I’d have my delicious smoothies, a cheesecake, and who knows what other bonuses I might throw in! What would I call my new book?
On personal space again, some dude at the gym was asking me what kind of workouts I did because he wanted his girlfriend to look like me. LOL. And THIS guy was SUCH a close talker. Maybe only a foot away from me? I kept moving back, and he kept moving closer! LOL! I know personal space is partially a cultural thing, but LOL. One time, I was going through a revolving doorway, and each quarter of the doorway was REALLY SMALL, but I hopped in there, and these other TWO larger guys got in right behind me!!!!!!! I was so shocked!!! PERSONAL SPACE INVASION!!!! I almost tripped on my way out because I was in such a hurry!
And another thing I’m thinking about this morning. I don’t like to be high-fived. Is there a polite way to decline a high-five from someone? Any suggestions?
I only have vision in one eye. That means my depth perception is severely compromised. So when a moving object comes towards me (like someone’s hand in the high five position), I really have a hard time making contact. LOL. Which leads to me looking like such an idiot at least 2/3 of the time. LOL!!!! It’s sort of embarassing. I would almost rather hug someone than high five them.
Lots of unrelated thoughts today. Sorry about that. 
My brain is feeling a bit foggy with this stupid cold that I have!

Pop them in the forhead like in the V8 commercials than explain to them the depth perception problem. They’ll never want to high five you again.

Lol….I’d buy your cook book!! I’m thinking after your cheesecake recipe…you cookbook would have me cooking like I already do! lmao.
Teasing! Well sort of…i’m NOT a good cook…but i’m guessing your probably pretty good at it when your not trying to do these crazy ‘clean diet’ recipes! lol
I have No idea how to change the high five thing…maybe jump to the side of them quick and let your hand land on their bootie…lmao. O.k. maybe not!
I have one weak eye that crosses in when i’m tired…but it also makes sports such as tennis and squash a real challenge because the object is moving SO fast I suddenly cant see it! Baseball too! So although I do have distant site in it…I can at least relate a little teeny bit to fast moving objects at close range! Might be why i’ve missed a few high fives too! (blushing)

Just pretend you meant to miss and laugh. Man I’ve got to hear about this cheesecake…that is my favorite cheat dessert.

There is a solution not a "so" polite one btu they will get the point.
Sometimes when people (my ex) wanted to give me a hug I would say "heyyy my shoe laces, need to tie them "=} a little rude i know.
=P anything in the cookbook on how to be creative with an oatmeal?

hmmm….call it "Creative Concoctins by Janet" You already have a good start
After the book I can already see a tv show! If someone wants to high five you- first ask them if we are still in the 80’s. Then raise your hand to high five..and as they go for the contact…pull you hand to your hair and come your hand through your hair as you walk by them with a "high five…NOT"! Ok- that is worse than actually engaging in the high five. What a conundrum. I’m not sure- I haven’t had anyone try to high five in a long time. The big thing now is the "fist bump". That is rampant. I’m all good with it- less germs on my hands…germs on the knuckles I’m ok with. But, the dilema now is I’m never really sure if we are grreeting eachother (via the fist bump) or if we are getting ready for a round of "rock, paper, scissors"! Alas, I have no clean solution for you on the high five. I do like the idea of going to tie your shoe…or the other of smack them on the forehead V8 style

I would totally buy your cookbook, lol. I bet if you put a picture of yourself in your new bikini on the front you’d have very good sales. As for your high five problem my brother has the same eye issues (he also fears slides, tennis balls and some stairs). When people have tried to high five him before and he doesn’t see them (or maybe just doesn’t want to do it back) he’ll say, thanks man, but I don’t want to hurt you. I know it’s kinda lame but it seems to work.

I hate close talkers like that… I always call them out and say, "dude, my space (and do a semi-circle around myself) and your space (make an outer semi-circle around them). As for high fives, it depends… if it’s cold/flu season, I just say, "sorry, I’m a germ freak!" and giggle it off and do the "high elbows"
If it’s not, though, I generally don’t mind high-fiving.

re the high five thing, you could create your own "thing" instead. Uh, not sure what that thing would be, though.
(Aren’t the helpful one?)
You could curtsy?
Or you could give them a nice well-distanced finger? "High five? EFF YOU!"
I like humor. You could state in a serious tone, "I’m barred by law from participating in high five ceremonies as my hands are both registered as lethal weapons in this state. Please back away slowly and you won’t be hurt."
Okay, I said I LIKE humor. I didn’t say I was especially good at humor.
How about a nice "Miss America Wave" instead? They offer the high five and you let ‘em hang, but step back and do the Miss America rotating wrist thing. I’d find that entertaining.

Well I would only buy it if it included the cheesecake recipe. Most people cook and just eat thier food. Yours is much more. It can be used for many other things.
I say give him a little dap like he is one of the homies does not take allot of depth perception and well he will not be sure about you after that.

I think you should meld two worlds and make a cooking and household maintenance book. You could make Spackle Frosting, Cheesecake Paving Stones, Concrete Macaroni & Cheese, Protein Shake Primer, and all kinds of other things. LOL!!!

The title of the book can be "The Low-Carb, Low-Fat way to a Better House"
