Radio Show

I'm so excited -- I have been asked to be a guest on BlogTalkRadio!  My segment will be on Sunday, March 21st at 7 PM Eastern time (I think I have a 10-12 minute segment during the hour, then I can also participate in a roundtable discussion at the end).  Of course, I will send out the link and more information as we get closer, but I think it's going to be fun.

I guess that's been what I've been working on the last few days.  I think I've got my topic all worked out, but I need to do a little more research into a part of it.  It really made me face the fact that I've just got to do something about building my "Fan Page" on Facebook, so I actually signed up for a webinar that's supposed to walk you through how to properly set it up, etc.  I think the timing's all going to work out pretty well :-)  Whew!

So, I do have a confession -- Mom's Vest is still sitting there.  But, this weekend, I can feel that it's going to come together, and if I promise you all some pictures, then I had better follow through!!

Today's Thought:  I remember growing up that my mom always used Pyrex to store our leftovers and other foods in.  I'm so glad she did now that all this research and information is coming out about some of the bad effects of so much exposure to plastics.  So, I've gone old school and ordered a whole bunch of Pyrex recently from Amazon.  Their prices are great (almost half of what I was seeing in stores), and they arrived safely.

Snowtastrophy!

Or Snowmaggedon, or Snowpocalyps -- pick your preferred name, but any way you look at it, we've had A LOT of snow.  It definitely is different from the storm in December; this one is much denser, icier, just more, more, more.  Went walking around a bit, and it's getting colder too, which is definitely not going to help the icy parts.  But, it is all very beautiful...

It's been a good crochet day, Mom's Vest now has a back to it and one side.  I'm hoping to get the other side done tonight, then it's time for her to try it on again. 

I've also been doing a little bit of online shopping.  I have to chuckle when I think about how hesitant I was to shop at Amazon when they first got started, I mean, seriously, they were collecting information about me, how shocking.  Now, heck, I let them keep my credit card numbers on file so I can one-click order!  Besides a couple of new crochet books and some Pyrex glass containers (I'm really try to eliminate using plastic as much as possible), the really exciting purchase I made was a USB microphone that's supposed to be appropriate for podcasting -- I think I am going to take the plunge!

Today's Thought:  Food Rule # 26 - Drink the Spinach Water.  Mr. Pollan explains that the water in which fresh vegetables are cooked is rich in vitamins and other vegetable compounds, so you should keep that water to use in making soups and sauces.  So, I kept the water in which I cooked a bunch of beets and actually drank it straight!  I have to say, maybe it's psychological to an extent, but I always feel better after taking a swig or two of the beet water ;-)
