Today’s The Day

Ok, Mr. E said that last post was one of the most depressing things he’s ever read, so here is something that is slightly less of a giant bummer:
One million years after I first mentioned it, I’ve finally got my Etsy shop up and running!
I am still trying to figure out how to put a [...]

Welcome To Dirty Town, Population You

You meet a boy, albeit in a convoluted way.  You’re both hesitant and gun shy and rotten at being in love, but this time is different for both of you somehow and your stumbling leads you closer to each other, and you find yourself sitting on the steps of your parents house listening to bad [...]

Friday Weigh In – So NOT Happening

I did step in the scale this morning and it was a horrifying number that I’m keeping to myself.  Regardless, I have a house full of vegetables and it’s sunny out and I have renewed resolve to get back in the game and to mainlining cupcakes.
But not today. I’m having terrible cramps, like the worst [...]

Fresh

In the spirit of Slynnro’s “What’s In Your Makeup Bag” (I’ll show you that some time soon), here’s what I got in my farm box yesterday.

Two kinds of lettuce, fingerling potatoes, red onions, turnips, strawberries, oranges, minneolas, a mysterious package I think is turnip greens, chard, sprouts, apples, bananas, carrots, mint, snow peas, baby spinach, [...]

P.L.B.

Mr. E. has this philosophy. He pretty much thinks that if the Hollywood peeps go to all the work to make a movie and show it on the big screen, the least that he can do in repayment for all of that hard work is to go see the movie. It’s a “if [...]

Jump

I’m finding it difficult to think of things to write about.
Part of that is because all of the things going on in my life right now are things that are BORRRRRRING to read about. See: my brain has turned to mush, my baby won’t sleep, my mother is annoying, my baby isn’t walking, I [...]

Friday Weigh In

Current Weight: 153. 2
Blargh.
So I regained all the weight I worked so hard to lose with one week of absolutely craptacular eating.  The sad thing I knew I was doing it and I just didn’t care.  I certainly have those times when I am lying to myself about the fact that eating peanut butter m [...]

I Can’t Think of A Title Besides Bra Vo and God, That’s Terrible, Isn’t It?

So, were you waiting breathlessly to see how my experiment in online bra shopping went?
I’m sure.
God, if you really stop to think about it, bras are so weird, aren’t they? Almost as weird as ta tas. It’s just one of those things I can’t spend too much time thinking about or I get profoundly [...]

I Want

Feel free to make fun of me; I totally got the idea for this from last night’s episode of One Tree Hill. Whatever. Even if I didn’t have a huge girl crush on Peyton, it would be SO worth watching OTH for the OMFG Gossip Girl commercials.
****************************************************************************************************
I want the perfect pair of red shoes.
I [...]

21 Quick and Healthy Meals

Every spring I find myself growing tired of the same old grind.  Meat grosses me out, I crave fruit, and I long for simple meals that are mostly raw veggies.
The larder is bare and I need to go grocery shopping, but I am so sick of cooking and cleaning and washing dishes and scraping food [...]
