?Me eat cat food?
2007-08-02 15:30:00 So J helps feed the cats their dry food, with M nicely supervising. However, she seemed to have reserved a small handful herself and was found 2 minutes later sitting on the couch and munching. ‘Me eat cat food.’ food, observations, parenting, wtf ... More About: Food
Costa Rican dreamline; Hello LinkShare
2007-08-01 18:19:00 Thanks to a cool countdown widget for WordPress (KB Countdown), I just made our Costa Rican Dreamline to the right. I’ve had the date of September 1, 2008 floating in my head for awhile. It’s not oriented towards the academic calendar as a new beginning but towards the end of summer and wanting ...

Plans for the rest of the summer
2007-07-29 16:18:00 Will hopefully include a viewing the Bodies exhibit in NYC, a visit to South Street Seaport to view some of the boats and stuff, a visit to a local water park, a fishing trip for Arp and M, and a trip to the beach (either the Jersey Shore or Long Island). I can’t wait to ... More About: Summer , Plans , Rest
Sports - Do kids really need them?
2007-07-28 20:42:00 Just the other day, I was in a situation where some old friends of mine were seemingly trying to convince me to enroll M in some sort of organized competitive sport. Something like soccer. So far I’ve been pretty firm in my decision not to do it, but I guess I was surprised ... More About: Sports , Kids , Really , Spor , Ports
Behold?
2007-07-25 01:44:00 The Grapevine Beetle! I saw this thing clinging to the outside of one of our window screens after a downpour the other day. I had no clue it was so attractive at first since I could only see the underside of it. I sent Arp outside to collect it in a plastic bowl. ... More About: Behold , Hold
Final review of my online eyeglass purchase
2007-07-23 01:36:00 I’ve had about 10 days with them - I got them last Monday, but they may have arrived sooner since I hadn’t checked the mail in 3-4 days. This fits with the timeline provided by Zenni Optical: Most orders will be delivered within about two weeks , orders which require some extra,special or custom lab ...

Where our food comes from - a tour of our local farm
2007-07-20 15:52:00 We joined a CSA at a local farm recently and have been enjoying our super-fresh, peak of season produce. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It’s basically a subscription to produce - just like paying a subscription fee and getting a magazine every month, we paid a subscription fee and get fresh produce ...

Clinton was impeached for a LOT less
2007-07-17 03:43:00 Lying about an affair vs actual constitutional abuse? There’s no comparison. If Clinton was impeached for that, Bush needs to be impeached NOW. Bill Moyers quotes a statistic that 45% of Americans (in a poll, of course) favor impeaching him. Cheney clocks in at 54% (no doubt due to those two ... More About: Linton
If you voted for Bush, are you embarrassed?
2007-07-15 19:10:00 I’d certainly hope so. You’re probably not, if you’re a wealthy corporate scion. Or hate gays. Or believe that freedom does not include the right to choose. Or are one of the 8 people not connected to the White House who still believe that invading Iraq actually had something to do with ... More About: Bush , Embarrassed , Barra
And more on sex
2007-07-14 00:03:00 No, not about ducky sex. Human sex this time. Summer’s post on sex got me into a real rant. I, too, haven’t been much interested in sex since J was born, over two years ago. I’m tandem nursing and I’m really, really busy. The drive just isn’t there, at least not in ...
Costa Rica: now or never
2007-07-08 19:26:00 My commitment to unschooling is growing, to the point where it is becoming a way of life. M is making some incredible strides lately, from asking many thought-provoking questions to creating his first fully-fledged story. Unschooling works. He’s obviously learning and really enjoying it too. I, on the other hand, am not enjoying life as much ... More About: Costa Rica , Costa
Gotta love neighbors
2007-07-07 22:16:00 I had a lovely altercation with one of my neighbors yesterday that culminated in two non-veiled threats to my ducks’ lives. Love ly. © %FIRST Laszlo - visit Tiny Grass for more great content. ... More About: Neighbors , Gott , Gotta
That was then?This is now
2007-06-29 15:56:00 Then (when I was, maybe, 22): I remember having a discussion with my sister about whether, when I had kids someday, I would breastfeed them. We both decided that we would “try” it. My big concern was whether it would infringe on my sleep and cause me to get more migraines. Now: I’ve ... More About: Then
green is the new ?god?
2007-06-25 21:30:00 Years ago, a Muslim acquaintance told me that one great aspect of Islam is that it has an answer for everything. He mentioned theft and adultery (with no mention of amputation or stoning), drinking and … that was it. But the statement it has an answer for everything stayed with me. It ... More About: Green
?That Macaroni?, and other ducky ?activities?
2007-06-24 01:57:00 The ducks seem to be changing as they sexually mature, and it’s been interesting watching some new behaviors. It all started las week when Mr. Keating, one of our Khaki Campbells, came out of the duckhouse one morning and promptly lay flat on her stomach. I panicked, probably because I’m still scarred from ... More About: Activities , Ducky , Maca
Buying eyeglasses online - the next step
2007-06-20 00:01:00 It’s been a few weeks since I went to the opthalmologist, and I’ve finally gotten a moment (or decided to give myself a moment) to take the next step. From the doc I got my prescription, but she was unable to measure my pupillary distance (PD) because she had nothing to measure in millimeters, ...

CSA Joy
2007-06-13 18:50:00 Yesterday we had the first pickup of the season from our new CSA. We’ve pre-paid what amounts to $20/week for about 6 months worth of weekly vegetables at a local farm. I’m excited about this for several reasons. First, this helps us move toward our goal of eating locally produced food, at ...
