I like this vintage-poster. I like the location even more. Special significance.

Food and gripes

Omg, do I hate high-fructose corn syrup. If you haven't already, take a peek at this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/leslie-hatfield/our-melamine-theres-mercu_b_161334.html
Of course, it's nothing new. But I love how the HFCS industry is spinning the "facts" so reality appears more palatable (pun certainly intended): http://www.hfcsfacts.com/
Who knew that we'd all see the day when (natural) sugar, butter, coffee, wine, and eggs were considered good for you?! Of course it's all about moderation: something the average-Joe-the-Plumber-American knows nothing about.

Check your labels, people. It's that simple.

So why am I bloggin?

In 6 days I will be 34.

I don't know exactly how I feel about this but I thought it was worth mentioning. Another catalyst was an unspoken New Year's resolution to do more things for me.

Exercise. Yoga. Meditate. Chant. Live. Love. Me.

As a Mother, wife, friend and breadwinner, I tend to put alot of myself out there but maybe don't get so much in return. This blog/journal is an affirmation that, yes, I do (still) exist and that I matter. Regardless of my status as a Mother, employee, wife, sister, voter, etc... that I still have a voice, still have a personality, still have thoughts, wants, desires. In a nustshell, I'm still me.
