Things I miss
I really miss the postings from Clare on the Farmgirl Chatroom. She was a WEALTH of information and an excellent moderator. I also miss Meadowlark. She really helped me through some tough times. These two women are among the ladies I have the pleasure of knowing through the chatroom. The alumni don't post very often and I miss that. I hope the "originals" find their way to my site and keep me posted on their lives.
You all rock!
You all rock!

Disappointment reigns
at one of my favorite chat rooms. *sigh* I am appalled at the comments listed and the unfairness of it all. Too many of my friends have been hurt.

Shoot me now
Crist, I don't know what's wrong with me. Other than it is moon time. I guess I'll blame it on that. I gotup this morning to get ready for work, tossed my unmentionables into the sink, pulled up the plug and started running water into the sink. Then I started the shower, then I got in, then 10 minutes later I got out to a flooded bathroom. Thank god we live on the first floor. I used every friggin' towel we have to mop up the water. One of the drawers was TOTALLY filled with water. *sigh* I needed to go through that and purge all the old cosmetics anyway.
Needless to say I will be doing laundry all day (and taking a vacation day).

Oehlert Rentals, Sycamore IL
YAY to Oehlert Rentals, the complex I live in. They are having a drive for much needed items for the folks in Mississippi affected by Katrina. I thought it was Kansas, my error. :(
Kansas
I am excited! Our apartment complex is having a "Fill the Trailer" drive today, to help those in Greenburg, who suffered from the recent tornado wiping out their beloved town. YAY! For my landlord!!!!

So
After reading AfricanKelli's post on food stamps and reading up on Raw Foodies, I have decided to TRY and do 2 things. Eat more like a vegetarian. On most days. I am not promising anything. Help is appreciated here. Please.
I got an awesome vegetarian cook book yesterday at BnNoble's for 9 bucks. Quite simply called "Vegetarian: Over 300 healthy and wholesome recipes chosen from around the world"
The other task at hand (besides printing my wedding invites today) is to eat the food we have in the cabinets. Trying not to go to the grocery unless necessary. WTF! I have stuff in there older than the dog! (She's 5 btw). Waste (waist) Not, Want Not.
Wish me luck!
Oh, and by the way, Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

New faces
I discovered a new blog I LOVE. Africankelli. She is a beautiful interesting young woman, whose job takes her to exotic locals, like Africa. It's been fun perusing her older blog posts and seeing the joyful faces of young african children.
And from her blog, is another interesting woman, Jessica, of somethingjessica. She too has a job which takes her to another country, Brazil.
I have added them to my favorites. They are totally worth a look!
