Tofu
Okay, so I've decided that Tofu just has a really bad rap for no reason. I've thrown myself into my diet full-force, and have decided to add tofu to my acceptable meal options. I've made it in a couple different stir-fries and it's been wonderful! Of course, I'm cutting it into tiny pieces, and cooking it with other complex flavors, so that helps. ( Read more... ) -
Cooler heads prevailed!
I am happy to report that all but one of our local elections went the way I wanted them to. The only proposal that did not go "my" way was the affirmative action proposal. I would be more concerned about this, except I did find out that it is very specifically written to only affect preferences in government employment and contracts, and college ( Read more... ) -

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North
You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

Augh. Politics
I hate it when politicians use the mid-term elections to try and pass a bunch of ridiculous proposals. We have several this year. Among them are a proposal to eliminate affirmative action (both candidates for governor and hundreds of others oppose this one - oddly enough, it's sponsored by a California company that was found to have LIED to people ( Read more... ) -

So I have a laptop now. Not too shabby. I got it through school, so I was able to use my student loan to pay for it. It'll make school much easier... no more having to figure out how to get files back and forth with my little dial-up connection. I can use dialup at home and wireless internet at school, the library, the coffee shop, downtown... ( Read more... ) -
Blah
It's the end of the third week of classes, and I'm finally getting into the swing of school. Of course, the term is about 1/4 over now. I'm just hoping this momentum I've finally attained will continue into future quarters ( Read more... ) -
mini-update
Hello. I lost internet access on April 1, and didn't get online much over the summer. I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would. The baby is awesome (he's over 7 months old now), the rest of the kids are doing great, too. I started with ITT's Technical Project Management BA program. It's on-campus. So, a mere 12 years after starting at Carleton ( Read more... ) -

Mommy wars
Since my last post, I've given birth. Caleb's almost 3 weeks old now. It's amazing how quickly time goes by.
I'm a stay-at-home mom now, mostly by choice. So I found it interesting to see the MOMMY WARS story on Good Morning America this morning. My older two children were in daycare right from the start, and constantly up until I married Rick ( Read more... )
