It wasn’t the graduate degree, the husband, the signing my name to a big ass mortgage or the baby. Not even the social security card. Nope. It was this. Now. I know. Most of you are like, huh? what? Big deal. Oh but just let me tell you. I get skeeved out by: 1) touching raw meat 2) “bad bites” of food (you know, when you bite into something and.. Read More
Must …. pimp …. product …..
I’m whoring for free again. But I saw these over at Cool Mom Picks and I just can’t help myself. I want everything in this shop. Girl stuff, boy stuff… all of it.. http://www.naturalpod.com/shop/
Organic Sheets
On the cheap. I used the 20% off coupon and got a set of full sheets for 34 bucks. Then I got the crappy 20 dollar polyester gross mattress pad. Sigh. But it’s all about baby steps right? I’m less in love with them now that I’ve washed and dried them because they wrinkle like a mutha. But I’ll get over it, especially since it might be because I had.. Read More
Just a normal day.
Today was just a normal day. We woke. We took a photo. We got lost in town. We went to the Farmer’s Market. We went to see Scout at work. We talked to my SIL. We napped. While Alex napped, I read. And my heart was touched many times. MetroDad – who lost his friend From the Frontlines – who knew her husband would fight and defend The Dana Files/This.. Read More
Six years ago today I sat in class, learning about this, wondering why my teacher cared about it on that particular morning. Too immature to give him the credit to realize he just hadn’t seen the news yet. Today, I’m having an all day moment of silence, no blogging or commenting. (I’m sure I’ll still read, because, hello, addict. But I need to be quiet today.) I’m going out with.. Read More
Is that Tom Cruise in my closet?
Eh. Okay, I tried to be funny. Guiding truths for my closet, adopted today. 9/8/7 (cool date!) A) Buying organic, free trade things and throwing out all my perfectly good clothes does not make me a better consumer, it makes me worse. Therefore I will keep everything in my closet until it 1) doesn’t fit 2) is worn out 3) I hate it so much I would go out naked.. Read More
Information overload

Philanthropy Thursday

My baby won’t sleep well, I have to continually pump milk, my husband is on the road and won’t be home till late, I haven’t been able to prep dinner yet, the glass baby bottles I ordered showed up and I’m such a dumbass I ordered 4oz instead of 8oz and will now have to sell these on ebay and order new..

Who I want to be when I grow up
I’ve always been one to recycle. I’ve always been one to forget to turn off a light when I leave the room (but I’m trying to remember). I read treehugger daily. (I live in a 2200 sq ft McMansion with two cars plus a company car in the land of the vices. And I lurve me some air-conditioning.) I’m a geek for Anne of Green Gables, Jo March Bhaer and.. Read More
