Some more of my opinions
Have you read this?
You should. You should also read this, because it is more thought out.
I’m not even sure what to say about the Right To Life article. Just read it. The author, Kurt Wuelper, insinuates that all non-right to lifers hate babies.
My favorite line from the author is actually from the comments. “With 55,000,000 babies killed in the US alone, half of those [27,500.000] were of the female variety, e.g. women.”
What can we learn from this? Don’t try to control my body and then alienate all of those “of the female variety”
For the record, I don’t think we should be killing babies left and right, I just don’t want the government to be telling me what I can do with my body.

More Ugh Tumblr
Topping off my posts on Tumblr is way harder now.
I’ll be busy for the next couple of hours.
Internship Day
Today is internship day.
I love my internship. It’ll be my 3rd day, but I’m having a lot of fun. I go in 1 day a week and so far, every day has a fun event. Tonight is a fancy dinner.
Now if only I got paid…

Ugh..
New tumblr sucks. And I forgot to be all happy because of my 100th post.
On that note, 100 posts, biotches!!

Just planning out the rest of my life
I am probably one of the only people in the world that looks at school lunch ideas and thinks, I can’t wait to have a kid. Oh wait! I’ll pack a lunch for my boyfriend before then. This poor kid. He probably hates me secretly.
He is really excited about gummies though. Thank goodness. I can put them in his kunchbox! Have I mentioned my sympathy for him?
Now my new obsession is freezer dinners. Our fridge will be filled with alcohol (sorry honey) and our freezer(s) will be full of food. And don’t forget my couponing stockpile!
Things I would love to freeze:
Casseroles
Enchiladas
BBQ beef
Teriyaki beef
Shredded Chicken
Hamburgers
Fruit
Smoothies
Pancakes
Waffles
At least he’ll never starve.

Coupons at Market Basket
Today I went to Market basket for the first time to coupon. It was kinda weird, because I know my local Shaw’s like the back of my hand, because I’ve been shopping there since it opened!
However, Market Basket was generally enjoyable. It was crazy busy, but it was ok. I didn’t buy too much, but I think I did well.
4 Saute Expresses- $.99 - $1/1= .01 OVERAGE each
10 Chef Boyardees- $.80 each- $1/5= .60 each
3 Trident Gums- $.99 each- $1/3= .66 each
Total= $7.93
Considering at my local shaw’s would’ve thought $1 for each of the Chef Boyardees was a good deal, I think I did well. I have no idea what possessed me to buy Gum for 66 cents, but at least it wasn’t full price. I’m also not sure they usually give overage, but they took off the full $1. Cool beans.
I also wanted to get the Hershey Simple Pleasures, but they weren’t in stock :( I’ll try another Market Basket tomorrow!

So you're getting married
I love my friends. I’m a little sad that I’m going to be the last of my friends to get married, but that’s only because I want a really traditional, semi-judgmental wedding.
What I’m trying to say is that I’m judging you. You and your 10-bridesmaid/4 groomsmen wedding. You and your destination wedding. You and your registry information on the invitation.
No regrets.
I can’t wait until I get married and there’s nothing at the wedding I want because my mom and sister went batshit crazy. Judge me then.
I’m sure I’ll get married at a country club and whatevs.
Still no regrets

SHOPPING LIST!!!
This week I’m going to get a couple good deals. I’m excited
My store is offering a free 5lb bag of grapefruits when you buy 2 Grapefruit juices (2 for $4). And there’s a coupon. $2 off 1 100% grapefruit juices.
Free Grapefruit juice and FRUIT!!! I wonder if I can put vodka in that.
Or Champagne
Also getting 50 cent tuna, and some frozen fruit. Good stuff.

Valentine's Day
I have worked really hard to make sure I have never had to buy a gift for a guy. Since I’ve been dating this guy, I’m about to buy 2.
Christmas/Hanukkah sucked. First of all, I hate Christmas. I believe that it is what is evil in this country. Second, he celebrates Hanukkah. I really don’t know anything about it. That was such a pain. I ended up making him the marshmallows from this post.
Now we’re coming up on Valentine’s Day. Are. You. Kidding. Me? What am I supposed to get a guy for Valentine’s Day? He’s complaining that I don’t like jewelry. To clarify, it’s not that I don’t like jewelry, it’s that I have no reason to wear it. Suck on that.
But really, what do you get the boyfriend for Valentine’s Day? Ugh. I need help. At least I have a sale at Amazon to help me!
Doomsday Preppers
I was just watching this show, and my only question is, what is your plan when the rest of us are dead, and all you’ve outlived us by 10 years?

I love cider
This:
Woodchuck cider is the nectar of the gods. I love it. So much that I saw this recipe, and had to try it.

My future kids
The more time I spend with children, the more rules I come up for my future children’s family.
1. Feed my kids whatever junk you want to. I will cringe, I will cry, but at least they are eating.
2. Do not give my kids toys. Not until they’re like 6. A one year old does not need 20 toys. You want to spend $50 on it? Put it in a savings account. Or a 529. Put the deposit slip in a huge ass box. My kid will probably like it more than the high tech train.
3. My kids will have a bedtime. If they don’t, they will believe that the Boogie-man will eat them alive.
This is all I can think of now. I’m sure these will change.

snow
I was reading this article, and to be perfectly honest with you, the comments are always way more exciting.
Nashua should’ve called off school, whatever. I am always concerned about the sidewalks. As a dog owner who walks her dog every day like a postman, I hate snowy sidewalks. In reality, the only time I need a sidewalk is in the winter.
In the summer, the roads are wider and aren’t as slippery. No sidewalk needed.
What really annoys me is that apparently it’s the city’s problem. Who’s in charge of my sidewalk? ME! That means the sidewalk is the owners’ problem. Not the city.
I could be wrong, but I’m PRETTY SURE that’s how it works. Or how it should work.

T Shirt Quilt
Next weekend I’m going to make a t shirt quilt. I’m just trying to decide on how I want to do it.
I have 20-ish college shirts I’d love to use and probably 20 Girl Scout and elementary school shirts. Do I want to make a huge shirt with all of them? Or 2? I really like the idea of having one just for college, and making it bigger with various school color blocks (green, gold, purple, red, and blue).
I’ll let you know.

Readiness
My mind is blown.
My elementary school wanted to put me in Readiness.
For those of you who don’t know, Readiness was this weird in-between grade for students who passed kindergarten but weren’t ready for first grade. As I was not in it, I have no idea what they learned, but probably normal writing and reading stuff.
I was born at the end of September, and the cutoff date for school was something like September 30th. Whatever it was, the issue was that I was not going to be 6 on the first day of school
I would turn 6 a full 30 days later.
Apparently a lot of my friends’ parents thought it was a good idea.
Well, for all you who thought I wasn’t ready and whatever, guess what?
I graduated college at 19. What were your kids doing at 19? Being freshmen?
I was totally smart enough for 1st grade.

In a perfect world...
In a perfect world I’d live in a city. I’d have a small garden, full of berries and herbs. Everything would be organized, and I’d have beautiful jars full of homemade mixes. Everything would be homemade. Bread, yogurt, jam, gummies, marshmallows. I’m pretty sure my awesome boyfriend thinks I’m crazy, but I just love the idea of it all. Yeah, I’m secretly a hippie.

NCIS
Sometimes I get way too attached to my TV. I connect way too much with characters and situations to the point where I might actually be crazy.
On that note, NCIS has been crazy emotional for me for the past two episodes. Deaths of parents always bug me, but this was just rough.

New layout
Now that I’ve changed the layout, I feel like I need to post more in About Me, because I have more space. Should I fight the feeling??

So much yeast...
I’m going to catch some wild yeast for my sourdough starter/culture AND make yogurt? Maybe?
Definitely catching some yeast. Here yeast-y, yeast-y, yeast!
I am not prepared for this
Keeping up with my queue sucks.
That’s right. You know my secret. I stay up for HOURS doing pictures and writing random stuff and then leave my tumblr alone. It’s brilliant.
Yay!

Lunches
Sometimes I want kids. Not all of the time, just some. In fact, usually I hate kids. But sometimes, they seem cute.
And then I could pack their lunches. Which is really why I want kids. I would have an excuse to get cool sandwich cutters, lunch boxes, and thermoses! And I have so many lunch ideas (that I’ve stolen from Pinterest and 100daysofrealfood). Things like:
Refried beans, tortillas, and rice
Soup
PB&J with fruit gummies
Smoothies and popcorn
I’ll start making a lunch box for myself. I’m sure I’ll hate it in a couple days. I just feel like I don’t snack, but kids do, and I’d have an excuse to make more snacks.

Cravings
I sometimes have cravings for food that I don’t really even like.
In college, I had a crazy craving for eggs. I hadn’t eaten eggs in like 10 years when all of the sudden, I was like, dude. A fried egg would be delicious. Now it’s my favorite food.
Now I really want yogurt and granola. I like granola (I love making my own), but I’ve had yogurt maybe twice in my life. Frozen yogurt is ok. I’ve baked with it before too. But straight up yogurt? The texture is weird.
Greek yogurt seems better though. It’s the whole white and creamy thing. All white and creamy foods are weird.
But my craving goes deeper than that. I want homemade yogurt. Like the idea of homemade yogurt and granola seems like Nirvana.
We’ll see how this pans out.
I'm thinking
I’m thinking about selling my marshmallows. Would people buy them?
I can make them in all sorts of flavors. Alcoholic, not alcoholic.
Would you want to buy them?
Do you want to buy them?
Let me know in the ask thing. I’ll get back to you and we can work something out.

I am an awesome girlfriend
Screw you all you “you rape lives with your presence” naysayers! I’m awesome!
why?
I sang Soft Kitty to my sick boyfriend. Over Skype. Because I love him.
Take it or leave it. He sings me Soft Kitty all the time. He’s the nice one in the relationship. I’m not. I’m ok with it.

Awkward
As I accidently (maybe) taught my nephew… AWKWARD!
Today I was ready a feminist blog. And I thought it was weird, because she felt the need to keep identifying herself as a feminist. I thought it was weird, mostly because:
A) I hate titles, and
B) She wasn’t talking about anything really political.
As someone who has worked on a campaign, I will GLADLY tell you my political beliefs. And you might notice I don’t have ANY party loyalty. Fight for something I believe in? I’ll fight for you. Say something I don’t believe in? If I like your opponent, I’m taking you DOWN!!
So here’s my list of things that I believe are important:
1. A strong education system
2. Lack of standardize testing
3. Affordable living
4. The government NOT touching my body
5. Safe drinking water
6. Safe/well-maintained roads
7. Keeping children safe
8. Keeping crazies away from guns
9. Equal pay for equal work
10. Equal percentage of taxes being paid
11. No sales tax
12. No income tax (though I understand that at some point they will be necessary)
13. The idea of no-fault divorce*
14. The idea of a domestic partnership*
15. Never blaming the victim (also never teaching someone to be a victim)
16. Corporations are not people.
*I do not believe in marriage. Gay, Straight, Polygamous, whatever. The government has no business knowing who I’m with. Since the all-knowing THEY apparently disagree with me, I also don’t believe they should know/care why I’m no longer with my partner.
I’m forgetting some stuff, but put me in a box as you like. This post is my disclaimer for any future political posts.
Recipe Book
Have you ever signed up for a class, bought all of the stuff and then dropped out so you can move out of state?
I have. (Yay campaigns!)
So I have some 4 inch (4 INCH!) binders just hanging around. And I’ve decided what I’ll do with them (nope. Not going back to school.).
It’s a cookbook. Actually 2 of them.
I was going to buy a Tastebook but why pay for something you can make? I’m going to make two, one for baking and one for cooking. I’m 95% sure the baking them will be fuller. Mostly because I don’t use recipes to cook. Which might explain a lot to my family (sorry!).
What do you need for this project?
A Binder (or two)
Dividers
A ton of plastic Sheet protectors (so you can wipe away spills)
I just have to make sure I don’t confuse it with my coupon binder!

Garden
I’m so excited to grow stuff. I have strawberries now, but I’d like to expand my garden. I’m thinking various herbs and potatoes. It should work out. The only thing is that I hope to move in the next couple of months. To another state.
I’m a fan of homeostasis. I don’t like to move. I like knowing the future. I don’t like the idea of growing up. So I’m going to continue to plan my garden.
Potatoes. My potatoes are going to be awesome. Why? Why do you ask?
I’m growing them in a container. In a bucket. I’m going to steal a broken trash can from the shop (bottoms are kinda worn out. Less work to drain).
How do you do this? You plant a couple seed potatoes in the bottom of a container. As it grows, you add dirt. You see, potatoes grow below ground, but they grow up, not down. So the farther down your potatoes are, the more you will get.
It’s oversimplified, but it will work.
I swear.
And I will eat potatoes FOREVER!!
