I'm not worrying about health care (maybe $120 minimum would still be too high with copays?) But the day care we get is only $5000 which would be half a year. Though I don't know if it's better to do that or just to write off the whole sum. Probably do the pre tax up to $5000 then to do the rest as a tax deduction.

Other random question then sleep.
I have split peas. I want to make split pea soup. I can't find a ham bone at any of the groceries I go to. What should I do?

Do you have a butcher or a Honeybaked Ham store anywhere near you, Kat?

Yep. There's a honeybaked ham not so far away. Will it cost a fortune?

Nope, not at all. And the nice thing is, they usually come with a nice chunk of meat on them, so you have plenty to flavor the soup.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Does Steph live in Cincinnati? Because I just read that Margaret Cho will be there Saturday, and will be joining the local Prop 8 protest and singing!
In MY city? I mean, that's awesome, but -- the HELL???
t edit Apparently she's in town for a stand-up show. Cool.
(Also, at the exact -- and I mean to the MINUTE -- time that the protest is supposed to happen, we have appointments to get our very very VERY stinky dogs bathed and groomed. This is going to be hard to juggle.)

I am so tempted to make my FB status "is about to tell her son that it will fall off if he doesn't leave it alone."
Hey, that's private time!

Now tagless for your comfort.

My package of split peas came with a "ham flavoring" packet. I'm dubious but do not have a ham bone, either. I should remember to get one from the meat counter.
I tried a new breed of apple today--Haralson. It was yum!

Mmm.. you just reminded me. I have a honeycrisp in the fridge and a slab of extra sharp cheddar. however, I just weighed myself and I like the weight I am right now. I fear eating anything this late will make tomorrow's weigh in no fun.

Also debating buy or not buy: [link] I'm just not sure it would be necessary here. Though if we had an El Nino year like I keep hoping for it would be awesome to have this. (This babysteal will change tomorrow so the link is only good tonight).
