You Belong in 1959

You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

Thank goodness Myspace has my child's best interest as their concern.

There's Something About Sushi

...that just gets me going. There's something even better about making it. Maybe it's because I can make it...and it's good.

I didn't have any of the typical ingredients you find, so I used red bell peppers (sooo yummy), zucchini, and canned tuna. I, too, thought the latter wouldn't be very good, but when you dip it in just the right amount of wasabi/soy sauce...oh.man.

I really love Asian food. Finding some of the ingredients can be pain-staking, but cooking the cuisine is fun for me. You're forced to try new foods and new techniques, and it's adventurous. When we lived in Texas, there was a Hong Kong grocery store about twenty minutes away, and although that place smelled like an old shoe, it was fun to be in. I definitely cooked a lot more Asian dishes then. Our Hong Kong store is only about 25 minutes away, but the drive there is a pain in the ass, and it's in the 'hood that is known as Pleasantville, NJ.

I'm not sure if I've blogged about it, but I joined a CSA farm back in July. Every Saturday, I get a big bag full of organic veggies. It's been worth every penny, and I swear to you that I have lost a couple more pounds since being a member of this co-op. I'm forced to cook fresh veggies several times a week, so we're being force-fed healthy food. I haven't been to the gym since May (what a waste of a membership...), but I'm only ONE pound away from my pre-preggo weight. I'm definitely a proponent for eating healthy veggies and lots of greens for losing weight. If you go to www.localharvest.org, you can find a farm near you. I paid up front for 16 weeks, and it comes out to about $12/week, but if I were to buy the amount of veggies in the grocery store that I get from the farm, I'd easily be spending $25+. Go find a farm!!

**WARNING** EXPLICIT CONTENT

In a message to Myspace...

I received the following message from Myspace Safety & Security:

"We had to remove an image (or images) from your account because they violated our Terms of Use.

I completely understand your policies against nudity, but this was a picture of my 9-month-old daughter playing on the floor and yes, it showed her naked rear end. This, by no means, was explicit, derogatory, or offensive in any way. For me to be threatened with account termination is overboard. Furthermore, my account is private, so everyone that sees my account knows my child and me. The youngest two people are 15 and 16, and one is my brother, so the under 13 circuit has no access to my account.

If a baby's bottom is considered explicit, why not remove pictures of people doing drugs and drinking? For a young child, seeing pictures of those activities could be dangerous, as young children are easily influenced. Maybe you should control those images, too.

I am in no way making light of your policies or guidelines; I just hope that you see my point. I would also appreciate that the threat to terminate my account would be revoked.

Thank you.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

That's right, bitches. I'm sick.

Every time an illness ran rampant through our family, my mom was always the last to get sick. It's wierd how it happens that way, like God says, "I'm going to test you. First, I'm going to make your family sick but not all at the same time...each will start the illness about a day apart; that way, you're at their every beckoned call for a good week solid. Just as things are looking up and everyone is getting better, you'll get sick, too."

This is a test. It is only a test.

I don't mind taking care of Dick at all. He hardly gets sick, but when he does, ho-ly smokes. And obviously taking care of Mary is a pleasure. I just feel so bad because she can't sleep for shit.
