"but i really *like* graham crackers..."

this is an interesting read

did you know...
in the late 1890s, john harvey kellogg, a medical doctor, invented a breakfast cereal which was intended to help inhibit masturbation and silence sexual desire.
what was it?


behold, it's our good old stand by.
(don't worry, the claims aren't true)

additionally, kellogg was a follower of sylvester graham. graham invented a health food system operating under the same intentions. thanks to him, we've got graham crackers and granola.

hands off the privates and on to the grains, kids!

is that so?

You Were a Little Naughty This Year!

While you're not likely to greet Santa with sucker punch... He's still not too jolly about coming to your house. You might get a small token from Mr. Claus Like some detox pills for your liver.

Were You Naughty or Nice This Year?

back to school on friday! home is of course growing weary. i feel like i eat better when i'm at school, for one thing (in terms of healthiness, that is). i've also been having headaches lately, though that is either from our kerosene heater, my wisdom teeth, or both. bahhhh.

let's get braces at the same time! the boy and i are both looking to make the venture to correct our mouths. my mom said that we'd have to be careful not to get stuck together. i'm sorry, i didn't realize that i just turned 12, not 22.
infernal lack of insurance and proper decision making at a young age...

ay, i feel like i've been depriving you all of news. i've been terrible on keeping on with things over the break. oh what pop culture can do. bragelina, anyone? i don't approve.

man, i love milk.

oh, so if anyone has made resolution to save money this year and is looking to open a savings account, lemme know. if you join ING Direct via my referral, we both make some dough.

alright, i must part before i get lame and talk about how i miss the boy or something. grossssss!!
later loves-

who made my bed?

there's apparently a bed-making caper abound.
who would have made your bed?
this is the text i recieved from the boy late last night. no one was in the apartment all day, and when he came by after work, my bed had been mysteriously made.
is there a mom having a hard time coping with her empty nest on the loose or what? ran-dommmm

i started looking up what books will break my bank account this semester... and outside of the 11 books i need for my ONE seminar, i was excited to find that i have been assigned a judy bloom book.

this is the only book assigned for "girl culture." i am so pleased.

in any case, anxiety and dread are still abound, ha. i have started whipping up a new resume, filling out my TFA application... the times they are a'changin' kids

happy new year, bub

come on '06- make mama proud.
