Plei, while I was in Portland I stayed with a couple with a four year old, took them out for breakfast one day. The 4 year old said: "they have blueberry bagels, cinnamon raisin bagels and chocolate bagels. Why don't they have gummi bear bagels?".

Show of hands - how many people's immediate thought upon reading this was "Eat a muffin, Whitey!"?

Which is why it was posted, I'm sure.

Is it bad to try and sell a Bible on half.com?

No. But what kind of Bible? 'Cause mine just got serious water damage because I left it on my office desk with the windows open. And it rained. Oops. But I live in the desert! It wasn't an unreasonable expectation!

Anyway, I've been idly Bible shopping since then, but I hate Christian book stores with the passion of a moderately fiery dozen or so suns.

In completely unrelated news, my shipment from Lehman's just came in and I am now laundering with Nellie's Laundry Soda and my whole house stinks with the live bacteria I just flushed down the toilet to our septic tank. Don't you all envy my rural lifestyle?

OTOH, lots of sprouts in our winter garden sunroom, which is bright and already super sunny. Plus, very comfortable with our newly built window seat in there.

It's an NIV "study bible". It's actually really nice and was a gift, so I feel kind of guilty selling it, but my husband (the giftee) won't use it.

I am trying to avoid laughing my ass off, but seriously, it is both hilarious and adorable.

And brilliant!

My plans for the weekend involve a lot of packing, errands, and a lot of TV catch up. And making bread, I think.

I'll buy it. How much do you want for it? 'Cause I get no more spending money this month (yay, birdseed!) but would be happy to take it off your hands next month if you don't mind waiting.

I should also mention that it's got my husband's name on the cover. Cause, you know, it was a gift. But it's small, and you can, um, paint over it in black nail polish?

Are there any frozen pizzas that don't suck if you nuke them instead of sticking them in a convection oven

Lean Cuisine's roasted veggie pizzas are halfway decent. I'd recommend even chain pizza places over them, but if you want something to cook at home without preheating an oven that might be a way to go.

I don't know, but if I can just scream "coffee!" from my bed and wake up to a freshly brewed cup then I'm sold.

My parents left me, between them, about 10 or so Bibles. The 2-column one with a NIV-ish translation and a KJV translation side-by-side is pretty cool. But when my parents' minister emailed me last month to say they'd found Mom's Bible in one of their study rooms, and where should they mail it, I really had to find a nice way of telling him not to bother. (It's a donation to the church's youth ministry now.)

Stricken from the book of life? Noooooooo!

Going to the movies tonight with friends. This weekend we are measuring the front yard and trying to plan and budget the GET RID OF FUGLY CEMENT BLOCK WALLS AND DEAD GRASS OMG AT LAST campaign.
