ANNOUNCING....!

Very very big news in the family... Head on over to With Six You Get Eggroll to learn more!!!

Where's the Beef??

Sooo... I ate a burger. Yes, that's correct. A burger. And, might I add, it was delicious. It was also the following:
*provided free choice hay and clean water during its happy little life
*not fed with animal byproducts (eew)
*not given growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics to make it the Incredible Cow Hulk
*no preservatives were used in the processing
*not raised in a small pen, but allowed to run in a pasture. Where it was in the sunshine and could turn around.
*bought straight from a farmer, who was very friendly
*from the River Market, which I love to support when possible

Therefore, it agreed with all of my reasons for avoiding meat altogether. So I ate it. And I might have another pound in the freezer, awaiting the time when I am ready to eat more. It does not mean that I'm starting to eat meat again. Perhaps I would if I could afford to eat this way all the time, but really- who can do that? Therefore, I will remain a non-meat-eater, but I will occasionally allow myself a tasty burger when it comes from the right place. ;)

PS, I have a pic with me enjoying the juiciness, but blogger won't let me upload. For the past 2 hours I've tried it. Grrrrrrrrr.

Ten Years ALREADY?

Helloooooo, friends and family! So sorry for my absence. It was not intentional. The truth is, I haven't really felt like working on the bloggity these days (there seems to be a lot of that going on!), but I am back. Friday was my LAST DAY OF WORK (no more dealing with daily poo!) and our ten year reunion. I only took a few pics, but there are some excellent ones out there on the interspace. Here are a few of my favorites.
Friday night was mucho fun-o, and very very surreal. We hung out at school and Sister Deb took us on a tour around. Turns out it looks completely different, and it was really strange trying to orient ourselves to where we were standing vs. what used to be there... After the tour and the appetizers and the hilarious slide show (I swear to you I didn't recognize MYSELF several times: "Oh look! There's Liza/Kristen/Megan/Leah/Brooke, etc... OH WAIT, that's me too!"), quite a few of the girlies came over to the hizzy. Helloooooo to you ladies who silently watch over the bloggity (you know who you are!)! Then we went to Crazee's to catch up with the fellas. It was so good for everyone to get together and hang out. We seriously should see each other more often, yes? Saturday was not quite as fun... a bit of a different vibe, but I'm still glad that I went. Here's to the next 10, right?
