Day 5 - Kind of.
Okay, so today was different and it changes things. Breakfast, since I worked out first thing this morning, was a Bananarama smoothie from Keva Juice, which is my favorite (of the actually healthy ones; my faaaavorite is the chocolate peanut butter!). Anyway, I had some stuff to do with a bridesmaid’s dress today and while I thought that was going to be a huge frustration, it was...

Cleanse Day 4
Breakfast was amazing today! I did my friend Talia’s recipe for a better version of oatmeal, since I couldn’t stand it the first time. I boiled a banana and mushed it up in milk and water; once it was mostly dissolved, I threw in the oats and some cinnamon. Joe thought it tasted like banana bread, “but without the fat and sugar”. Talia then informed me that she likes to...

Cleanse Days 2 and 3 of 14 (or 12?)
Hi all! So yesterday and today were up and down.
Last night’s dinner was something a little more up my alley, but less adventurous- potato wedges baked in olive oil with a bit of salt, as well as some chili powder and curry. We also ended up at Keva Juice for smoothies, and I decided to try one of their two low-glycemic index smoothies, the Bluffin’ Muffin. It is amazing, and I...

Cleanse days 1 and 2 of 14
Alright, I’ll give you the quick and dirty. Yesterday, I had oatmeal for breakfast- which I’ve tried on multiple occasions, but definitely don’t like. A friend of mine gave me ideas on a new way to do it with banana, which I’m actually looking forward to. The mid-morning snack was apple and almond butter. Lunch was a salad from subway, and my own mid-afternoon snack was...

My husband is an OSU Beaver, so we have a warm place in our hearts for these amazing animals!
Did you know? Beavers are second only to humans in their ability to manipulate and change their environment. Beavers are famously busy, and they turn their talents to reengineering the landscape as few other animals can. When sites are available, beavers burrow in the banks of rivers and…

Cleansing!
Last night I got drunk alone, as Joe fell asleep really early. So I decided to do some research, and one of my health problems (which I do not care to divulge) is firstly and best attacked through a clean diet. Link after link led me to the conclusion that I should really “cleanse” or “detox” - I’m not really sure if there’s a difference between the two. If...

What is the best form of government for the...
Upon viewing Star Wars: A New Hope for the first time, we are led to believe that the worst kind of government has taken hold of the galaxy. The evil Emperor rules with an iron fist - which, incidentally, is Darth Vader - and the rebels must fight against it. Ultimately, it is a good thing that the Empire was defeated, due to questionable tactics including conscription and lack of basic fair...

Why isn't Paul McCartney recognized as the "deep"...
The answer to this question isn’t explicit, and if I was Paul McCartney, I would be dumbfounded too. McCartney and John Lennon wrote songs together for years before anyone recognized that some songs had more of a Lennon influence or more of a McCartney feel. The public only recognized a difference once it was clear that they were starting to go separate directions. Until this point,...

Who is the next Lucille Ball?
The world’s greatest early female comedic actress was Lucille Ball, not only in her show opposite then-husband Desi Arnaz, “I Love Lucy”, but in the films that followed and her very quotable views on life. What has always been amazing about Lucille Ball is that, even during the throes of feminism, we were never afraid to laugh *at* her. In many ways, our society is afraid to...

My personal recommendations
Since we don’t exactly do “Follow Friday” here on Tumblr, and Tumblr Tuesday doesn’t publicize your picks (and only allows you one per week!), here are some I think you’d enjoy.
This week, Movie of the Day is doing I Love You, Man, which I loved and most of you did too. Go check them out.
Obamarama brings you this kind of awesomeness on a regular basis (mostly...

The OGs!
Out of the blue, Cutie utters her husband’s name: “Harry Cooper.” A pause. “That is I.” “Thank you for taking care of me.” “It is my honor.”

First pick… USA. Not popular or necessarily notable, but I have some pride. Then Denmark or Switzerland. Then France… or Germany. I guess I’m kind of split on the whole thing still, but here’s an awesome list describing to non-knowledgeable Americans the various teams. Basically, I’m not going for Latin America.

Leviticus offers a much more interesting version of religious gatherings. To contrast the clean, sterile, Sunday best atmosphere of modern church Leviticus would have up conduct glorious (goryious) scarifies in front of everyone! Make sure you drain all of the blood of that huge animal in front of the alter. Now dip your hand in it and sprinkle it around some. Talk about exciting!...
