currently. a bit of chaos.

Life has been… extremely overwhelming lately, to put it lightly. But if nothing else I’ve been reminded again and again how fortunate I am.
Vague post, I know, but I’m trying to learn from my experiences and realize when (and more often, when not) to use my blog as an outlet. Which means it’s been a little quiet around here lately and it most likely will stay that way for a bit longer.
Until then, here’s a photo of my quick work trip to Niagara Falls a few weeks ago. Unreal.

Thank you to Meredith for the best birthday photo, ever.

Is Pink Slime Really That Bad?
If there’s one thing America can agree on at the moment, it’s that “pink slime” is scary. The hamburger filler made from processed beef trimmings has been in use for decades, but now, thanks to social media-fueled campaigns and traditional media coverage from Fox News to MSNBC, we’re suddenly terrified of the stuff. Is pink slime really any worse than pink cylinders like hot dogs, or yellow nuggets of mechanically separated poultry? Probably not. […]
Unlike the pink product officially known as Lean Finely Trimmed Beef (LFTB), many nuggets and cylinders are made with mechanically separated meat. Chicken, turkey, and pork carcasses, already picked clean of presentable cuts, are pushed through filtering machinery under high pressure, removing every last scrap of tissue. The resulting fragments are used in chicken nuggets, turkey and pork sausage, and many other processed meats.
Mechanically separated beef, unlike chicken, turkey, and pork, is no longer approved for human consumption, because of concerns that bovine spinal cord fluid could spread mad cow disease. The final bits of beef are recovered via other methods that, while highly mechanized, are less traumatic to the carcass, minimizing spinal fluid leakage. So if you’re averse to ingesting spinal fluid, beef-based pink slime is actually a better bet than chicken nuggets or hot dogs containing pork or poultry.

Why don’t you tell me that “if the girl had been worth having, she’d have waited for you?” No, sir, the girl really worth having won’t wait for anybody.

I would love to know what is floating around on the internet about me that would inspire Monster.com to email me about this “perfect fit” opportunity.
