In which I get my Ranty-Pants on
Recovered Meat Product aka “Pink Slime” is getting a lot of coverage nowadays. I recently read an article on CNN “Clarified: Much a goo about 'pink slime' Out of curiosity, I checked out the comments. One particularly struck me:

Staycation Series: Because it was Tuesday
Child and I went to NYC yesterday.
Because we could. Because it was Tuesday. Because he didnt have school and it was a beautiful day. Because soon he'll be in school during the day and I won't be able to do stuff like that.
But mostly because we could.
We took the train in. The ride on the West Side of the Hudson River is probably one of the most ( Read more... ) -

We've Joined the 20th Century!
When I was pregnant with Child, my beloved husband promised me a dishwasher. He even wrapped up a sponge as an representation. I wanted one, but there is no "slot" for the dishwasher in the kitchen, and I could not see an easy way to install one. So I graciously accepted this promise, but accepted that it would be a difficult & unlikely project ( Read more... ) -

Damn you Shutterfly. I know I ordered the pictures late. But they just arrived TODAY??! I admit, I was waffling on the photo.
