Jenny McCarthy scares me. She has that much crazy. And that much influence. Anti-vax is something I have a huge problem wrapping my head around, and I can wrap my head around a lot of stuff I virulently disagree with.

Conspiracy theories are weird. Once someone believes one, they reject all contrary evidence as being part of the conspiracy.

I think all kids should be taught how to think. Or how not to think wrong. (i.e. how to avoid common types of irrationality.)

Less Wrong is an interesting blog that deals with this....

I've only ordered from Zappos twice I think. My budget doesn't really allow for much in the way of new clothes.

I've been amazed at the speed of Zappos delivery: they often outrace Amazon, in fact. Like, order after 4 PM on Wednesday, shoes are delivered Thursday. Astonishing.

Amazon actually bought Zappos a year and a half ago or so - since then, the delivery time has varied from old-Zappos to Amazon-regular.

That said, Zappos, Amazon, and Target are my main shippers, which is a lot these days. (We got our Christmas tree through Target.com! It was awesome.) My UPS guy just sighs every time he sees me.

Skimmed, but I will just F and then C all of Perkin's choices, Paul Gross arms for JZ, offer sympathy for msbelle,and ~ma for WindSparrow.

Found a coat. $10 at a charity Thrift Store, so win win win. Also at that store, like an entire wardrobe of my size stuff from Talbots. I did not buy it all, but did get some. Holy Majoly. I may have to do a picspam fashion show later.

Damn it, I knew I forgot something. I don't think the coat is here, msbelle, so yay on the thrift store buy!

I feel like all seven dwarves today: Drippy, Sneezy, Scratchy, Barky, Sleepy ...

Once again pimping my hood, if anyone knows anyone looking for a home in the DFW area of Texas, or just might wanna re-locate. Cute older home like mine, all new carpet, paint, and vinyl flooring in kitchen. 3br, 1.75 bath, 2 car garage, 2 living rooms, big back yard, 1700 sq ft. - Just over $100K. PLUS ME!!!

I actually met the people who live in the house next to this one for sale and they seem like nice normal folks, recent empty-nesters who would love stable friendly neighbors.

Also at that store, like an entire wardrobe of my size stuff from Talbots.

That's so awesome. I'm still sad about the wardrobe worth of stuff I liked, but not in my size, at Goodwill the last time I was there. Actually, I should go drop off coats there this weekend.

So, my phone "ringing off the hook"? I had two voice mails. WhatEVER.

I'll get around to checking my email in a minute.

Sounds like a great little house, msbelle! Too bad I'm too far north and have no money for a downpayment.

Today's lunch was an omelet I spent too much on, considering I only ate a third of it and tossed out the rest (could have kept it for dinner, but wasn't in the mood). It has settled much better than yesterday's tilapia, which did stay down but gave my stomach problems for a full hour.

Tomorrow's lunch choices do not look appetizing, so I'm thinking about getting a breakfast wrap (chorizo and egg) and putting the leftover portion into an insulated bag for lunch.

I'm definitely going to head over to the grocery store after my afternoon checkup at my surgeon's office and get some more variety for lunch and dinner. I'm stuck in a chili/chicken salad/egg salad rut, and I'm getting tired of it. I'm thinking about getting some veggie burgers and see how those go down--any recommendations for the best ones?
