Kids' Meals

Just returned from Qdoba where I ordered a kid meal for myself. A naked burrito, side of chips, and a drink for $4.50! A regular sized burrito costs $6 (not including chips + soda)!

Whenever I order things like burritos, I always ask for a small portion anyway. Seeing a huge bowl stuffed with food just grosses me out. I usually can't even eat half of it. Oh, and I don't do leftovers (unless it's pasta). When I place my order, I always say something like this: "just a tiny bit of beans, doubt she'll eat them anyway." They think I am referring to a kid, but I am really referring to me. Dishonest? Yes. As dishonest as most corporations? No.

I think I am back...

After a self-imposed 6-month break from most social media, I have decided to return to my blog. My reasons:

1. It's therapy and we all know I need that.
2. No one really reads it, so I can be all know-it-all and not feel bad about it.
3. The ten people who do read it are family and best friends. They want to see pics and updates of Audrey. Plus, they love me despite #2.

p.s. I quit FB and think my happiness has grown immensely. I still can't figure out why it has such a negative impact on me. I think it's a combo of people's political opinions pissing me off + subconscious jealousy about things I am pretty sure I don't want anyway. I am still on Twitter, but only for gymnastics reasons.

I'm telling you: no FB, cable, magazines, pinterest, mainstream radio, etc = happiness! :)

Taking a break...

Taking a blog break for the next week...headed to New Orleans to visit daddy (hers, not mine)!

We're taking Audrey to the Barkus Mardi Gras parade. How cute! And we are going to eat a whole king cake by ourselves.

SUCCESS!!!

Susan G. Komen has reversed their decision and will now continue to save women's lives! Thanks to everyone who made Susan G. Komen re-gain focus on saving women from breast cancer!

Something You Should Know About Kids...

...before having them: kids are so slowwww. At everything.

Whoa. How Timely.

I hate to criticize charities, but you have to wonder about a charity that eliminates funding for their very own cause. 

Denounce Susan G. Komen's Decision to Defund Planned Parenthood

It's estimated that Planned Parenthood actually prevents over 220,000 abortions a year with its contraception and reproductive services. Defunding Planned Parenthood = increase in abortions + STDs + cancer + more female deaths. This is a war against women. 

Email your local Susan G Komen chapter. Southern Indiana = wvracecure@aol.com. 

Email suggestion if you don't have time to write one yourself:

To my local chapter of Susan G. Komen,

I urge you to please reverse your decision to defund Planned Parenthood. Susan G. Komen is above all else an organization dedicated to women. Your decision will have a severe and negative effect for many of our sisters. Support women AND the fight against breast cancer by reversing your decision.
