Product recalls and processed foods

For a few years  now I've been really watching what I eat, trying to avoid processed foods and things with artificial colors, flavors and preservatives like Sodium Benzoate. There are a lot of reasons: a problem with skin rashes, reading books like The Omnivore's Dilemma and Holy Cow.

But honestly, once I read a few labels I was convinced.

Measuring progress on a Monday

I feel like I've been busy all day today, but I've accomplished nothing.

Well, I took a shower. And I collected today's egg (thank you, Mrs. Wiggins).

And I updated the chicken and dog blogs.

But as far as legitimate work? I posted one thing at Beliefnet about Danny Gokey's new eyeglasses endorsement deal for Wisconsin Vision.

Then I ate four cookies.

I guess for a Monday, that's enough. I need a nap.

Egg updates

In case you haven't been following along, we've got eggs! You can read about the eggs on either the chicken's blog or Bandit's blog.

Stranded?

I'm stranded for the next two weeks.

I let my daughter borrow my car, because she was going to be without her car. And let's face it. I can easily go two weeks and not go anywhere.

I don't need my car. Honest. If it was here, it would be sitting in the driveway. Except that now that I don't have it, I'm thinking of all of the places I want to go. Places I wouldn't go if the car was here.

I should write. I have a lot of work to do. But the dogs are antsy and the chickens are laying eggs and there are so many distractions that I can't get my mind around a story right now.

So I guess I'll go outside and play kickball with Scout and Bandit. Then eat lunch and take a nap. Another perfect day in writing land!
