Twin Placentas

I am dehydrating twin placentas! I think this is so cool! These babies were born at 32 weeks and they will spend time in the NICU. The capsule that will come from these amazing organs will give the mom hormone balancing, which will balance her mood and increase milk production.  These placentas were much smaller than what I am used to so to me they were cute. Haha! I know that must sound weird but when you look at the regular sized ones all the time I guess the mini's are just, well... cute!

Mouser

My cat, Flower, is the best mouser. When we moved into out place it was infested with rats and field mice. I didn't want to leave poison or those nasty glue traps, so instead we adopted some cats. The first cat we rescued is an all black male named, Ducky-Chocolate. He is pretty much good for cuddling and playing. From time to time he will hunt an easy prey. But he never goes out of his way. Flower on the other-hand is a cold-hearted killer. She kills anythings that moves if it is smaller than her. Since we brought Flower home all the mice and rats went away. My neighbors even said that she chases there rodents away too. So I guess Flower is actually the neighborhood hero. Go Flower!

no grains

Every time I eat grains I feel like crap. I am serious. Though I continue to eat them. I do have periods where I go without and I feel great during those times. I have tried many different diets. I was vegan for two years, that didn't feel good for my body. Then I was pescitarian, I liked that, butt something was missing. Then I went back to all meat but no dairy. Inn recent years I have found, through juice detoxing and food reintroduction, that the major killers for me are garlic, sugar, grains, and animal milk products. So basically, I am a meat and vegetable girl. I am pretty paleo I guess.

Conspiracy?

This video shows that if you fold a U.S. $20 bill in to an airplane that the falling twin towers are depicted on it. There is a new video about the $100 bill as well as others.  I know you can make anything look like something if you believe it enough but this actually does look very similar. I don't know if I can get on board with the whole devil, end times scare but I do believe that the government is corrupt. I also know that 9/11 was planned because the buildings fell in a way that buildings fall only in a planned demolition with explosives. I also know that the heat from the flames would not ever get hot enough to make a building collapse like that. I call bullshit for sure. I do believe that people really did die so I am not trying to disrespect anyone who lost someone in 9/11. I'm just saying that the shit show was staged and a strategic move on the governments part. 

The Croods

I put on The Croods today for my kid while I was writing and I noticed something strange. This movie is about cave people but the women in the movie had no armpit hair. I personally rock the armpit hair and I am damn proud of it. I am also glad that my son will have the imprint that women are supposed to have hair on their bodies. I mean what the hell? These are friggen cave people! Dreamworks couldn't even sex it down a little for the cave girl? So friggen lame!

T.V.

I make it a rule to not let my kid watch T.V. but today I had to let him have hours of it to finish my essay. Luckily he is really into Peter Pan, so I just bought the Broadway play recording and he actually watched it about three times. I figured that is at least real people acting without editing or crazy cartoon characters doing things that my son will physically be able to do. Have you ever seen kids try to reenact the movements that cartoons do? For instance when a cartoon character is going to run real fast and their legs start spinning in place like wheels, then they take off zooming? It's kind of fun to watch but it's scary to think that they are wasting their brain space on crap that is absolutely of no use to the a and completely contradictory to reality.

Ishmael

I wan to thank my professor for instructing me to read Ishmael. It has been recommended to me over the years but I just never picked it up. Now I feel like I wasted a bunch of time. I could of had this great read in my psyche for years now. I am seriously grateful though. I loved this book so much. I talk about it all the time and share about it with my friends. I am totally a fan and now recommend this book. I love that Ishmael is a gorilla who speaks telepathically to his students. Sometimes while I was reading the book, I forgot that it was written by a human. Quinn breaks down our culture so well and really opens the readers eyes to what we look like from an outside perspective. If anyone is into soul searching and self-analyzation, they know that having a grasp on your patterns and behaviors is major in making real changes in who you are. Quinn paints a great picture of who we were and what we have become as a species so well that it is almost depressing to take it all in. There is something inspiring though about knowing that if enough people got on this same trip that we might be able to save this sinking ship, which is going down fast.
