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.

It's been awhile since I did a post on capital punishment.

Jeffrey Matthews is condemned to die next month, despite evidence that may prove his innocence.

This is why I could never sit on a jury trial for a murder case--no, I would NOT be willing to sentence someone to death, thankyouverymuch. And I don't think the state has the right to do so either.
