Garden Update!

Look how it's growing!  Vegetable gardening rules.  Real results.  Real food.


Is this not the most amazing thing you've ever seen?  A little radish popping up!
I don't like radishes, I don't know how to cook them, and I will likely never, ever use them, but Grant insisted we plant them so we did.
Now I'm obsessed with the little bulb that is popping up.  It's so cute.  Since we don't have a dog I might make this my new pet.  Oojaboo!

So far we've been able to eat both types of lettuce and I think the green onions aren't too far behind.  Things are getting legit over here.

Now I just need a bumper sticker that says "I'd Rather be Gardening" and some Crocs and I'll be official.

Dry Cleaned, Parking Lot Style

I just went to the dry cleaner and witnessed several of the cleaner's employees drop an entire rack of clean clothes on the ground that were about to go out for delivery.

After exchanging shocked glances and stifled giggles, it was silently decided that they would just pick the rack up and put it in the van for delivery.

This event asks the age old question: If you pay to have your clothes professionally dry cleaned and they are hen dropped straight on the ground (parking lot ground, not carpeted), would you want to have them re-cleaned?

I guess this is one of many situations in which ignorance is bliss, and what you don't know can't hurt you, and even if it did hurt you it's too damn bad because you are receiving your clothes like that anyway! 

Constantly Crazy

Isn't it always the people craziest for attention and who do the craziest things to get it, who always have the craziest and WORST endings to their stories?

That has certainly been the case in my observations.

Case in point - Thomas Beatie, the "Pregnant Man", is now getting bitterly divorced from his wife, whom he claims is a violent drunk who punched him in the crotch.  Article here.

First of all, "Thomas", let's not forget, you don't have a real penis so getting hit in the crotch is really just stupid more than anything.  It's not going to hurt that bad.

Second of all, why are these people still in the news?  There's no such thing as a pregnant man in the first place.  He/she was just a woman who wanted to be a man all along.  Getting your boobs chopped off and growing out your armpit hair shouldn't make you a national news figure.  If people who are sexually or gender different want to be accepted, AS THEY SHOULD BE!!, then they need to stop trying to get on the news to broadcast their differences.  Be yourself, love yourself, love everyone else, and stay out of the news! 

And finally, why, just because Thomas is a "man" now, does he have to go out and grow the world's most sad, little Mexican goatee?  Hey Tommy B, you can still be a man and have a clean face.  In fact, it's much more debonair.  Facial Hair is not = Manliness when it comes in the form of patchy, fine hairs that don't really connect anywhere.

Final thought - If someone is abusive by nature, they probably won't have a hugely successful relationship.  But if someone who has craved attention throughout her whole marriage and strived to get every detail of it on the news decides to end the relationship, he/she is not likely to go quietly.  In an ideal world, that wouldn't entail punching her former-woman husband in the artificial balls, but as we all know the world is not ideal.

Don’t you hate it when you are wearing something you think is great and no one compliments it? 

That’s happened to me kind of a lot recently. Not today, of course.  I made sure to post this on a day in which I look totally unremarkable, so no one would read this, run into me, and think, “For real?  She thinks that deserves a compliment?”

But I have to be honest folks.  I’ve put some money and thought into some accessories and tops recently that I thought were pretty fly.  And the response was, well, not there. I guess I’ll go back to doing what I do best.  Wearing loose-fitting solids and saving my money for wine and pedicures.  Pedicures especially, now that manicures are out for the foreseeable future.
