I got this new theme, guys, isn’t is great? haha. Seriously, zero effort. I just used a Genesis child theme. The same one we’re using over on NaturallyMamas, just different colors. By the way, that’s my new blog project! A few friends and I got together and started this blog that’s going to focus on parenting and living green. We’re officially opening on Monday, with a giveaway. So you might want to go over and check that out.

I’m also officially applying to school on Tuesday. I’m going to meet with admissions and financial aid and everything. :D I’m excited and nervous at the same time. Excited to finally get started, but nervous because … what if I’m not good at it?! lol Which is stupid, I know I’m good at photography. Not in a conceited way, just in a… that’s what people tell me way. haha. I don’t know. I just have stayed at home for the past year and a half and I think I’m out of practice with people in general. I’ll get over it.

Branden is making me dinner right now. Such a good hubby. He’s making a variation of one of his only recipes- steak fajitas. He usually makes steak, but tonight he’s cut it into strips, marinated it, and is going to cook it with peppers and onions. And we’re going to serve it with refried beans, cheese, and some sour cream. :) I love not having to make dinner, since I’m usually the one doing it.

I think I’m going to go keep B company while he cooks. He does that for me sometimes. Makes it less boring. Please take a minute and check out my new project, I would REALLY appreciate it. <3

I say this a lot: If it has nothing to do with me, I really don’t care what someone else is doing. This holds true in about 99% of the hot topic issues today, for me at least. I just figure it’s best if I mind my own business when it comes to what Joe Shmo or Sally Somebody is doing, because really… what effect does it have on MY life? Occasionally I will rant about some of the stupid things I see my facebook friends doing (like turning their 10 month old around to front facing in an infant carseat- just not intelligent), but I’m talking IN GENERAL.

For instance, abortion is a huge deal to a lot of people. And to be honest, it’s an important issue to me. Not because I really enjoy the idea of someone having an abortion- not at all. I’m actually fairly anti-abortion in most cases. But I also recognize the need to allow and have available places where safe, legal abortions can be performed. Just because I don’t like it, doesn’t make it wrong. Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one. And I’d say a good portion of the time, it’s going to be different from the person sitting next to you. And there’s not a damn thing wrong with that. But don’t expect me to sit there and tell you it’s ok to tell someone else what is allowable. It’s never alright to tell someone what they can or can not do with their own body. See: Minding your own damn business.

There’s also that whole gay marriage thing. I’ll be honest, I’m getting kind of sick of this “gay marriage ruins the institution of straight marriage” argument. Especially when the person spouting that nonsense is also chucking the bible at my head. The part of the bible that says homosexuality is “wrong” is pretty near to the section that says selling your daughter into slavery is perfectly alright. Or stoning your neighbor for working on the sabbath… that’s ok too! It’s the old testament people. You can’t pick and choose what parts to follow and not follow! It’s not ok to make up the rules as you go along! Marriage is a legal institution. Not a holy one. Some people might make marriage about religion. That’s fine. Gay people don’t have to get married in a church! Hell, straight people don’t have to get married in a church, I know I didn’t. When the topic at hand has no direct effect on your life, your marriage, your children, your whatever… stay out of it! Let me reiterate: Mind your own damn business.

Moral of the story… mind your own damn business.
