Saturday Surfing

Some Old Things I Bookmarked…(has it really been nearly a month since my last Saturday Surfing post?):

  • Dear Mr. Akin, I Want You to Imagine…, Huffington Post — Eve Ensler’s response to Todd Akin’s comments about legitimate rape.
  • An Immune Disorder at the Root of Autism, The New York Times — At least a subset of autism — perhaps one-third, and very likely more — looks like a type of inflammatory disease. And it begins in the womb.  Really interesting look at how the prenatal experience can impact the fetus.
  • Study Reveals The Geography of Charitable Giving, NPR —  New study by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, which breaks charitable giving down by ZIP code. It found that generosity varies greatly from one region of the country to another.
  • I Wish My Mother Had Aborted Me, Role/Reboot — Lynn Beisner explains the difference between the two phrases “The best choice for both my mother and me would have been abortion” and “I wish I had never been born.”
  • What if we regulated junk food the way we do alcohol?, Los Angeles Times — Food, food, everywhere, much of it junk. Perhaps we should control it the same way we do alcohol, two scientists say.  I love this idea.
  • Why I Don’t Buy Made in China for My Baby as a Beijing Expat, InCulture Parent — Essay from a mom living in China about the quality of baby products available there and the differences in attitudes about child rearing.
  • Young and Homeless, The New York Times — Poignant photo essay of homeless teens and children.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️
