I will absolutely not complain about the weather the last couple of days and today. There has been nothing to complain about, it has been gorgeous! The only "downside" was how I started to think that Wed and Thursday would have been terrific days to go down the shore. I looked ahead to next week and there are two days that might possibly work and I will call my mom and see what she thinks. We can wait a couple of days and see how it plays out - maybe.
Haha, I am glad that I post all of my ramblings here. I completely forgot that I wanted to finalize the F-Ws recipes and orders today.
Since I am positive that you all wondered what my decision was, I cooked the chicken in the crockpot. I am not crazy about the texture of it but then again, I filled up more on the stuffing anyway. I was glad I did so all I had to do was prepare the stuffing after I got home from cleaning. ShopRite makes a vegan "chicken" seasoning so I made the stuffing with veggie broth and the seasoning and it came out really good.
*grabs soapbox*
If you are friends with me on FB you might have seen my post already but I need to keep yelling about this situation because I am so angry. Do you remember how a few months ago I was talking about bumping into my niece's best friends with the rescued turtle? If not, it isn't a big deal, just that this is about her and her friends and where they worked. They had gone to the police and nothing happened, then they went to a reporter who documented everything they said and boy oh boy, those girls saved a lot of documents. Naturally, I am very concerned about the animal welfare issues that are a big part of it. But the worst is the sexual harassment all of the female workers went through from the owner. All of them had stories to tell and the police did nothing. Basically an "all in your head" BS excuse.
The more I think about this the more pissed off I am. I have 2 kids and my SIL has two girls. Three out of the four of them have had to go to the police to report sexual abuse and harassment of their friends and in my niece's case, of herself as well.
My kids had to testify in court and it looks like my niece will too- after the piece was published in the paper yesterday (front page no less), Rizzo was arrested. Not sure for which of the offenses. I don't know if my youngest niece will have the same type of experience as her sister and cousins and I hope to all gods that she doesn't. Either way, this is TOO DAMN COMMON.
I am so angry that my niece was blown off. I am amazed that my BIL and SIL didn't show up on Rizzo's doorstep. I am so freaking *proud* of the Campbell kids for doing the right thing even when it sucks. How the heck does this happen over and over and over?
I am sad and angry and proud and all of that is a very strange combination. Thanks for letting me rant.
*puts soapbox away*
On to my plans for today... F-W's stuff. Maybe if Cait or Scott or Gary have some free time, we can take the dogs to the park.
xoxoxo

Sorry that your day was spent doing all of the adulting fave's. mmph. Mason changing his mind every day about his costume sounds very familiar, hope Heathe can convince him to pick one and stick with it soon.
