Memes and 'about me'

I'm not a meme fan. But I don't write enough as it is, so I figured this might be a good way to get past the writing block.

30 days in November. 30 topics, as follows:

The Meme:
Day 01 – Introduction
Day 02 – Your first love
Day 03 – Your parents
Day 04 – What you ate today
Day 05 – Your definition of love
Day 06 – Your day
Day 07 – Your best friend
Day 08 – A moment
Day 09 – Your beliefs
Day 10 – Your physical constitution
Day 11 – Your siblings
Day 12 - Something you feel strongly about
Day 13 – This week
Day 14 – Your education
Day 15 – Your dreams
Day 16 – Your first kiss
Day 17 – Your favorite memory
Day 18 – Your favorite birthday
Day 19 – Something you regret
Day 20 – This month
Day 21 – Another moment
Day 22 – Something that upsets you
Day 23 – Something that makes you feel better
Day 24 – Something that makes you cry
Day 25 – A first
Day 26 – Your fears
Day 27 – Your favorite place
Day 28 – Something that you miss
Day 29 – Your aspirations
Day 30 – One last moment


I might not post every day (life, it gets busy, ya know). But I'll get to every topic at the very least.

Halloween

Store bought costumes are dreadful.

Overpriced, shoddy construction and material, and if you're female...well, pretty much everything is a 'sexy' version of something else.

I saw a "sexy" Rainbow Brite costume. I WAS Rainbow Brite for Halloween when I was 6. My mom made the costume, it was absolutely adorable. She still has it somewhere.

My childhood...it's being ruined!

*crosses her fingers*

Things are looking up!

Hopefully soon I'll be able to drop the second job.

Gianna Jessen has a message for us all

For those who are not aware, Gianna Jessen survived an attempt on her life before she was even born. Her teenage mother, at 7 1/2 months (!) pregnant, sought a saline abortion.

Gianna was born alive.

Here she is, speaking in Australia about her life:





Her story is a touching reminder that we, as a society, will be judged by how we treat our weakest members--both the disabled and the unborn.

low impact living

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about how what I eat impacts the world around me. I still have given thought to becoming a vegetarian, but my husband isn't as keen on the idea :-)

social justice

It's all I hear on the liberal blogs I read. Social justice this, privilege that.

It means nothing to me when those same voices wholeheartedly support murder of the unborn.

Technology+Natural Family Planning=Lady-Comp!

Lady-Comp.

It's not cheap ($495...how many of us have that kind of cash lying around? I mean really...), but apparently lasts up to 10 years.

And sure-using a computer takes some of the 'natural' aspects out of it, but I wonder what the future implications could be for society if items like this begin replacing IUD's and pills. It's a neat way to get back in touch with our bodies.
