Purging

Well Leah informed me today that you can make yourself throw up by putting your finger in the back of your mouth and some girls will do it 5 or 6 times a day to be skinny. A little disturbed by her knowledge I asked her where she had heard it. My teacher told me about it and said that if any one in the class is doing it they should stop and there are other ways to get skinny.

She is nine, she is in third grade, and she is not conscious of her body yet let alone weight gain. I am disturbed that her teacher is planting these seeds of self image and purging into her classroom of 8/9 year old girls. I understand that they are learning body parts yet find it troubling that her teacher would focus on, of all the million and one details of how our bodies function, on the negative affects of purging. Come on teacher of all the wonderful and insightful things Leah has come home and shared with me this one really sent me into an outrage.

Why is no one Outraged?

We must all be very happy at the moment. :) Yay for us! :)

Dare I say BEYOND Outraged!!!

So, I totally have a problem with peeling eggs.. Yes, I said peeling hard boiled eggs... As a kid growing up I never had a problem, but now I can't seem to get it right. The are peeling off everything but the shell.. It's very frustrating! I am a perfectionist and don't want them all messy and gouged out looking.. You certainly can't make deviled eggs with them looking all crazy! Martha would be appalled and so would I.

My mom says right when they are done she puts them in cold water and they peel fine. Alton Brown says to peel them in warm water.. I'll tell you the the warm is not working..

Please help? I truly need answers.

Survivor

We just found our that our dvr has not been recording survivor. Grrr Apparently it was set to record on channel 380 which we do not get. I have fixed it and we will be recording from now on but we missed the first couple shows. Come on dvr there are a few things we really long for you to come through for us and recording 16 episodes of Dora is not one of them.

Geeky Oops!

Somehow when Chris was trying to help me to fix something on my computer, he accidently deleted ALL my passwords that were in the cookies. So, right now, when I went to log in, I had to try and remember what my password to blogger was.. UGH. I'm not mad at him, but it is very annoying!

darn, I did it again and posted on Outrage instead of Orange...that's what happens when you blog while lying on the couch watching Cary Grant.

Trying to recover the voice

Finally a quiet Sunday afternoon with nothing much going on. So I am watching Arsenic and Old Lace (We won't have any STRANGERS buried in our cellar!) in the glow of a brilliant ruby red sunset. With a computer in my lap. I know that I have been neglecting the blog...somehow all the starch went out of my sails after the jury ordeal.

So your family's crazy. So you're crazy. That's the way I want you.

Said to Cary Grant, but could be said about almost anyone, couldn't it?
