Voting for Cheddar Bunnies...

I'm sitting in my car outside my polling place, listening to MPR and drinking a decaf mocha from Starbucks while I type on my Sidekick. Julie's at school and Sophie is sleeping in the back so I'm taking advantage of my moments' peace.

Let's all vote today, people! Woot! We have to exercise what little freedom we have left, lest it be taken away.

I'm still fighting this nasty cold thing. Not going to share the disgusting details with you, but now I really understand why Sophie was so crabby last week when she was in the throes of it.

Julie and I (well, and Sophie was there too) went out yesterday and bought yarn for a new project for her. She is very excited about it, and it is small and easy enough that it should be done in a week or two. All I'm going to tell you is that it involves two skeins of Cascade 220 in pink and purple, and very big needles.

Finally, Cheddar Bunnies are small snack crackers like Goldfish, but made by Annie's brand and shaped like lil' rabbits. They are made with some organic ingredients and more importantly, without trans fats. Julie can't eat them because they're made out of wheat, but I had a craving for them this week, so I treated myself to a box.

Shelly,

I saw this and thought maybe if would be good for Julie, with all her allergies and all...

Dear Shelly,
I wanted to say thanks for the black Anne yarn you sent me a while back; it's making a nice little bag on US 0000's, but taking a long time!

My advice - there is no guilt in asking the Daddy to let you off the hook for a nap whenever you need one.

Also, Annie's husband is an organic farmer, and my friend Ibby and I picked the scapes from his garlic field this summer. No sign of Bernie Bunny or of Annie herself. Just us and the sun and the birds. And Ibby's daughter with the iPod on, picking garlic!

Goldfish have been made without trans fast since 2004, and Cheddar Bunnies are, like Goldfish, made with MSG ("yeast extract" vs. "autolyzed yeast", respectively)
