Happy Birthday, CaBil!

I got spanked a few times, but nothing actually painful - pants up, open handed. I got sent to my room a lot (well, not a lot...) Oh, the ignominy. I used to draw on walls. And the carpet once... in my room, where I had been sent as punishment. Just sayin'...

Miserable day. Bleh. Sleep soon.

Query for the hivemind:

Beans--freeze well or no? The dish in question is a stew with pinto beans, chicken thighs, salsa, chipotles, bell pepper, and onion.

That should freeze fine, Susan.

My parents couldn't use "sent to my room" as a punishment after I was about four, because my room had books. It was more "go outside!" or "do chores!"

That said, they were definitely into the spanking. Or rather, my dad's belt. More for my brother than me, but it didn't make it feel right either.

But I don't think I'll rule out spanking for my kids....but no belts, man.

I used to hate being sent to my room... though I would often choose to go there on my own to play. It was the forced relocation that got me, mang.

Should freeze fine, Susan.

I'm pretty proud of having shaved off 10 pounds since Oct. 16. Unfortunately, I found out today that my co-workers are resolved to torture me when we go to Chicago for NAEYC. They're planning a pizza party for either Friday or Saturday night, and ordering from some iconic überpizzeria.
