Snack Time & Wrapper Purses

What do you bring for kids for a snack when you are trying to switch to vegetarian? I’d just like for us to eat healthier and rid the toxins from our bodies. We tried the Honest Kids juice at Costco - it has a much “cleaner” juice taste than those other juice bags. http://www.honesttea.com/products/kids/ Plus you can recycle the juice bags which will be made into purses. I think it’ll look like those gum wrappers I used to fold in elementary school. Here’s a blog showing how to make a purse with candy wrappers and chip bags. http://www.candywrapperpurse.blogspot.com/ Even where I like to get my coffee from makes purses & clutches from coffee bag wrappers http://www.greenmountaincoffee.com/prdNonCoffee.aspx?Name=Candy-Wrapper-Purse.

Current mood: sad, contemplative, shocked, melancholy, mad

My cousin (ok, technically my cousin’s ex-husband & father of her kids, so really my cousin), a friend (friend & co-worker for about 10 years - view him on my myspace friends Tru450), and another friend (known him about 17 years) are gone. All to suicide. My cousin in 2006, my friends in June & October 2007.

Another

Saturday, October 13, 2007… Another friend committed suicide. I am in shock & stunned. Pretty much at a loss for words.

Hope

To all my friends…Please know there is hope. If you feel you cannot overcome an obstacle alone, then reach out to your friends, your family, your loved ones.

When people understand that mental disorders are not the result of moral failings or limited will power, but are legitimate illnesses that are responsive to specific treatments, much of the negative stereotyping may dissipate. Learn that depression is a treatable illness and the types of treatment available. Read about depression and clinical depression. Most of all - educate yourself. Get second opinions from doctors. Medication of the wrong kind or wrong dosage is fatal.

Fun & Games

Scramble Squares Puzzle
You unscramble the nine square pieces by matching the pictures on the squares’ edges, forming a large square. Definitely harder than it looks! The one my dd is working on is Kittens. I’ve been trying the online version which can be found here. I haven’t got it yet but it’s fun to try.

Pistons / Spurs

Update: What a game!
81 - 74
Congratulations to the Spurs
The Pistons did a great job and I’m proud of them. Really played as a team.
Amazing that Palacevision was sold out! The news is just saying that there was more people watching at Palacevision than at the arena the Spurs play in.

It was a painful game to watch! I haven’t really yelled at the tv since the Rose Bowl LOL! My kid’s been keeping up with the playoffs too. Looks like I’m bringing a basketball when we go out to park day as well as lots of sunscreen & water tomorrow, it’s supposed to be about 93 degrees!
