This and That

First of all, how dare anyone sue my beloved Nutella??? Ridiculous. As I started reading the article, I was thinking, Has anyone looked at the nutritional panel on a box of Cocoa Puffs lately? Come on! Happily, the article addresses that, but what's next? Are people going to start suing juice companies for touting their products as "healthy" when there is usually tons of sugar in juice?

I've also enjoyed Slate's wedding series topics (good ones like I Hate Your Wedding Website). My bride-to-be friend shared this one with me, and they are entertaining and sometimes even thought-provoking. I'd never thought of the history of the engagement ring before or why some men go for public proposals. I've been to a few weddings where speakers could have benefited from some tips on how to give a wedding toast.

This article pretty much sums up how I feel about the debt ceiling crisis and what's happening in Congress. Boo. Thank you Irish Times.

The article Will You Be My Black Friend? is not new but it was new to me, and timely based on some things happening in my work life. It's made me think a lot about my own social circle, namely the whiteness of it.

Trav and Mols will be here these next few days. I'm getting a couple of days of alone time with my nephew. Yay! More soon!
