Trying to cut back on meat for the planet. I do really well, then get tempted by straight-up garbage(it's fun at the time.)
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Trying to cut back on meat for the planet.
I eat less meat by default, because I'm too lazy to cook 2 meals. Although I do have some quick and easy protein I can cook to go with a vegetarian meal (like frozen salmon filets, or grilled chicken). But stuff like chili and shepherd's pie is always made with fake ground beef crumbles. It's pretty dang tasty to me.

That's a thought, Tep. Thanks. I'm like, living proof that BMI is BS.I have a*decent* diet, you know, but I eat more junk than it looks like I do.(Not to sound like the size 2 model getting all fake-orgasmic over cheeseburgers or anything.)

Hope your mom's treatment is effective with few side effects, Jesse.
Not sure if I mentioned it here, but the deciding factor for the seller choosing our house? A letter. I wrote a letter based on the suggestion of both the loan officer and my realtor. Just about me and what I liked about the house and how I saw my family fitting into it.
Awesome! That's how friends in CO "won" the house they bought in Boulder last year. Is it a Colorado thing?

A judge in my area was mauled by a zebra today (his father keeps it and other exotic animals). I wonder if the cops thought it was St. Patrick's day drunkenness before verifying that an actual zebra was involved?

Zebras maul people???
Also, that's terribly unfortunate. And yet hilarious.

I hope your mom's treatment goes as well as possible, Jesse.

Good luck to your mom, Jesse.
I didn't wear green today (all my Irish is inside), but I did make Irish soda bread tonight. It's not quite in violation of my Lenten fast, as the whole thing only has 1/3 cup of sugar in it, and a cup of currants. Tastes pretty good, and it looks lovely. Should have taken a photo before I cut a piece.
Anyway, I'll bring it to the office tomorrow, maybe with a container of jam from Walgreen's.

Is it a Colorado thing?
Maybe? Maybe a hot market thing...trying to differentiate multiple offers?
Also, that's terribly unfortunate. And yet hilarious.
Yes. This.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Treatment~ma for your mom, Jesse.
I remember a (bad) sci-fi movie, years ago, name forgotten, that starred a woman who could... talk to animals, I think? Might've been a comic-book movie. Anyway, she was so special, she rode a zebra instead of a horse. They tried to get an actual zebra for her to ride, and discovered that zebras are not just horsies with stripes: supposedly they can't be tamed to ride, they are wild and mean and they just try to kill you. So they got her a regular horse and painted stripes on it, and called it a zebra. Like no one would notice. Hilariously bad movie.
