House Cleaning

I have stopped and started this post about 17 times, and I am now totally and completely 100% committed to finishing it. My main problem is that when i log onto blogger from our Macbook it shows different editing options so I can't link to anything and the spell check is all screwy. Anyone know what i am talking about and have a solutiono? No? I still like you anyway.

A Few things on my mind (some of these are quite stale, but you will live):

What the hell? Can they just swab Dannilynne's mouth and get this shit over with? And really that Vergie woman who wants to appeal the crying judge's verdict that Anna Nicole Smith should be buried next to her son. Seriously? And who does Larry Birkhead's color? He really should rethink that blond because it was starting to look brassy towards the end of last week's trial. One more thing, I want to start a conspiracy theory that Daniel is the father of that kid, anyone want to help?

The Oscars, old news I know, but someone I know posted this about all the gowns he liked and didn't like, and I am mad. How could one overlook the glamour that was Nicole Kidman? Sure, she forgot to get her hair did, but he dress was fantastic. Jessica Biel, not so much. And poor Abigail Breslein. I know she is like 6 or something, but did we need to dress her like Dakota Fanning? Speaking of Dakota Fanning, have you all seen this? I hate Amy Pohler, but this is f-in hilarious.

I was reading that Indie Mama is doing this whole vegan thing and for that I give her props. I have started to comment twice now, but it keeps going on and on and I thought I would just make it a post on here, but my week has been crazy and I haven't gotten to it. At any rate, due to the fact that I spent 4 years in a valley under a pork processing plant, and I was a dramatic college student opposed to the hog confines of west central Illinois I refuse to eat pork. I will begrudgingly prepare it for Tim every now and again, but I hate it. I eat bacon, but sometimes have to stop because it creeps me out. That is meat issue #1.
#2 is that I read the book Fast Food Nation in the first trimester of my pregnancy with Eleanor and from then on I could barely think about meat let alone prepare or serve it. I used to talk to my friend Charles about how I wanted to become a vegetarian and he was all supportive, but then I gave birth and as soon as that was over I was hoping they would hand me a steak with my new infant. We are hardcore carnivores around here (I think that Tim would die if I told him that we weren't eating meat anymore, it is bad enough that I won't prepare pork), except for Nora, she is not that into it. I think she is going to be my picky kid, which is fine, but I am trying to let her know that there is more out there than Kraft singles and peas, the two foods that she can't seem to get enough of.

Also on the subject of food, we hit a crossroad with milk consumption in my house yesterday. Here is how it breaks down, I drink skim, Abby, Tim and Tony drink 2%, and Eleanor drinks Organic whole. Usually I buy a gallon of skim, a gallon of 2% and a half gallon of whole. Since Tony has stopped coming over and Tim now drinks skim my whole system is fucked. This is not my issue, my issue is the organic milk. I love feeding Nora natural things. I like knowing that she is getting hormone free milk that comes from happy cows that are not all doped up. HOWEVER I do not afford the same luxury for Abby and I never did. I made Tim stop and get milk yesterday because I swear we bathe in it we go through so much, but when he saw that a gallon of Organic whole milk is $6 a pop he about hit the roof, and I had no good argument as to why Nora gets milk from the golden calf and not the rest of the family. He called me from the dairly aisle at Jewel to inquire and I told him to make the call, he of course went with the cheap milk and the funny thing is that she has been drinking it all day and her ears didn't fall off and she didn't sprout hair on her chest so I think she might be ok. My organinc thing is another post entirely.

One last thing, I need both of the people who read this to send happy thoughts to my sweet sister who is not only suffering a massive head trauma, but a visit from my mother as well. Punk Rock Mama was doing her punk rock thing and had a little tumble while snowboarding which led to some double vision, and a vacay to the local hospital where they held her hostage for observation. I will let her tell you all about it, but I think her head is fine, we just need to find a way to get my mom the hell out of ther before blood is drawn. So send some zen her way so that she can recover quickly and peacefully and that she can find the strength to deal with my mom. I don't know what it is about those two when they get together.....

O.k., I think we are caught up for now.

Oh, wait, if you get a second, read this
