Peanut Butter Crisis

With the current recalls looming over all the PBJ lovers, it is so nice to have a small stockpile of safe peanut butter.
One benefit of stocking at least a three month supply of food and carefully rotating your stock is that you are past the point of recall when you finally are ready to eat it.
Stock up for food security!

Economic Disaster Plan?

It occurs to me that our current situation is a direct result of using similar economic tactics in the 1930's.

Now, decades later, our generation is paying dearly for those mistakes.

If you borrow money, you will, eventually, have to pay it back!

How much worse will it be for our grandchildren to have to pay back the mistakes of then and now?!

Judging Others

Okay...

so I have some people 'in' my life who enjoy giving me their opinions on my weight...

neither one sees me socially, so neither has even half a clue about me...

so...

one told me we couldn't be friends because I'm not active enough for him...

one told me all I eat is fast food...

both judged me without asking what was really going on...

it was cold and cruel...

Eating Ice Outside

It's fun to eat ice outside, even when it's cold out!

I Love This Ice

With the low hemoglobin, ice is my friend!

Great Ice!

If you love to munch ice, you know the square cubes with holes are the best!
The only place I've been able to find this kind in Joliet is at La Lomas on Walnut St at the top of the hill between Cass St and Silver Cross Hospital.

Preparing for Surgery...

Although my surgery this Thursday will be a common one, I feel much better knowing I have this.
I can't even imagine risking him ending up in foster care while my estate is sorted out!
Now I know both of my children will continue to have stability.
Can you put a price on that?

Growing Up?

Matt found his drawer full of ties and has decided to wear one every day... Even with sweat shirts and t-shirts!
A trendsetter in the making!
