EnviroFAIL

Saw this at the grocery store the other day: Is it really environmentally friendly to create a disposable version of something that isn’t usually thrown out?  Their website shows a comparison with regular pans – their product is made from Eucalyptus trees and sugarcane, which are “renewable” and “biodegradable,” while regular baking pans aren’t made […] →Read more

Presents!

Today I received a surprise package in the mail!  It contained house warming presents from my niece, my sister and her boyfriend. This is a jar that my niece made for me ((with a bit of assistance from Jeff. M drew it, but Jeff had to trace the drawing with paint because the paint bottle […] →Read more

Public Health Achievement #3: Healthier environments

Somehow it’s almost the end of March and I’ve just realized that I completely missed posting about the public health achievement for February ((I’m going to write it after this and back date it. Because clearly I’m not above such things)).  Yikes! Anyway, here’s March’s: Healthier Environments Usually when we think of “health” we think […] →Read more

Hockey Playoffs

Today was day 1 of 2 of hockey playoffs.  And despite the fact that we lost both of our games, I have to say that we played really damn well.  Here’s hoping tomorrow we translate playing well into winning! →Read more

Does This Wool Sweater Make Me Look Like a Prostitute?

How Do I…

While uploading the screen shots for yesterday’s blog posting to Flickr, I noticed that I had also taken this screen shot: I guess you do the second Google search after you realize that following the advice from the first Google search was a bad idea? I have a vague recollection that I was reading a […] →Read more

You Heard It Here Last

I’ve never claimed to be one to break any news.  In fact, I’ve been known to say of this blog: “you heard it here last.”  For as much as I like to blog something every day ((and have done so for the last 90 days and counting, btw!)), I’m not exactly timely with writing about […] →Read more

I have nothing terribly exciting to report today, but my friend Sarah does. Yay for Sarah and Dave!  I’m very excited and can’t wait to meet Humpy 2! →Read more

New Home Update

As I mentioned before, I’m working towards having a grown up place. I feel like I’m there with the kitchen – I’m something of a kitchen gadget freak and since I inherited the kitchen table and other kitchen furniture, all I had to do was unpack my many boxes of dishes and bakeware and other […] →Read more
