Does it ever end?

This lying to us by brands and our government? Next up - Olive Oil!  Yes! Olive oil.  Apparently over 60% of olive oil on the shelves today isn't really olive oil. That's tragic isn't it?

Sawdust...is okay by the FDA

A friend told me a looong time ago never to buy pre-shredded cheese because it contains sawdust. This is a friend who is super duper informed...I try to surround myself with these people so I don't have to do any digging or researching myself. I shared this information with some people here and there but mostly just didn't buy any shredded cheese myself.

People Who Don't Have Kids...

Don't KNOW. They just don't and this little skit by comedian Michael McIntyre is just so funny and spot on. A friend of mine alerted me to this via FB. I might just go back and watch it again, it is so funny.

Best Homemade Bread Ever!

Oh yeaah...do you ever have daydreams about making some really good, fresh, hot bread?? I do! When I read an article about Grist & Toll opening up in Pasadena I looked at the Hubs and said, "I'm getting a job there!" (By the way, how beautiful is that website?)

Mother's Day

Mother's Day. It's a Hallmark Holiday for sure, but this one is kind of nice since if there wasn't one, when else would anyone ever honor their mothers?? Our job is so overlooked and taken for granted. When one goes to therapy it seems the first finger pointed is always at the mother. Issues are always taken up with the mothers and as mothers, we often have guilt.

We are All Human Experiments...

I had the opportunity to catch a screening of "The Human Experiment"

Do you remember the movie, "Unacceptable Levels"? The Human Experiment is very similar in content, but the delivery is much more hopeful.

Who's Got the Time?

I'm old. I should be getting up every morning and starting my day with a series of stretches to get this old body moving, but I don't. Who's got the time?

If and when I wake up early, I really should be training for the Tinkerbell Half that's coming up in the next few weeks.  Eeks! And again, at my age or actually at any age we should be stretching before and after working out but again, who's got the time? I stretch just the bare minimum before starting out and usually completely forget about stretching after I get back since I have to jump in the shower and get ready for the day.
