Car StarRod: October 2011
http://carstarrod.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
You didn't say Car StarRod! Saturday, October 1, 2011. I punched the fridge. it's ok. It's not a rental, but our fridge in the rental. So I didn't destroy anything that could cost me money. So that's good. On the negative side, I definitely have no insurance and a swollen, numb hand. That part is less awesome. I show my appliances tough love. What does loyalty mean to you, my reader? How's that one go? Let me tell you, neither of those two things is going too swell for me right now. Momma Young @ Home.

Car StarRod: March 2011

You didn't say Car StarRod! Tuesday, March 29, 2011. 30 Things - One Year To Go. Let's talk about how this is progressing, shall we? 1)Find some ways to cook vegetables that we can all agree on. And by we, I mean Shane. Rhi. Will eat just about any veggie you put in front of her. Ditto for me. Shane, however, loathes everything but green beans, potatoes, raw carrots, and corn. Do you know how tedious that gets? 3)Have a home that uses more sustainable energy sources. 5)Get a tummy tuck. Of weight. I ...

Car StarRod: September 2011
http://carstarrod.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
You didn't say Car StarRod! Monday, September 26, 2011. So those of you who have read my blogs for awhile know that I used to be over 300 pounds. I was also pretty vastly unattractive for 90% of my pubescent years. I was the chubby girl with terrible hair (thanks, many poodle-y perms! I'd pretty much resigned myself to being the fat girl forever. It's very strange to not be any more. It's kind of a mind fuck. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Hear you me my friends". So I started looking up the facts of Tro...

Car StarRod: I'm better than Hallmark at greeting cards. Sort of.
http://carstarrod.blogspot.com/2011/09/im-better-than-hallmark-at-greeting.html
You didn't say Car StarRod! Sunday, September 18, 2011. I'm better than Hallmark at greeting cards. Sort of. When I moved to Missouri, one of the things I loved were the old plantation house looking places. You see, I'm this huge nerd for Gone With the Wind (the book - I've never seen the whole movie because my devotion to the book is that slavish) and they made me think of how I pictured her plantation and those around it. A few years ago, I worked for a publishing company. There I met this chick...

Car StarRod: June 2011

You didn't say Car StarRod! Wednesday, June 15, 2011. We are all Habiba. Imagine that you are the mother of a 15 month old. Not a stretch for many of the people I know. Now imagine that you have fallen on awfully hard times. Again, not a stretch for some of you. Imagine that you have lost your home. You and your child are without shelter, without work, scared, alone. You have left an abusive partner. After all, it's not like you have tons of money to go ahead and get medical care. Please, please, please ...

Car StarRod: January 2011
http://carstarrod.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
You didn't say Car StarRod! Wednesday, January 5, 2011. A Call for Sanity In Activism. As many of you know, yesterday came with an epic win - the return of The Leaky B@ b. Page - and then an epic loss mere hours later. Not only was The Leaky B@ b page removed again, but so was the Bring Back the Leaky B@ b page. (Please note: if you are new to this story, go here. For some background.). Immediately, there was the normal backlash against Facebook. Does that make things right? Changes that, right? Have sta...

You didn't say Car StarRod! Friday, May 20, 2011. Conversations with a Formula Company. So today I was at a conference. Our booth was to promote breastfeeding, of course. We were right next to someone representing Abbott Labs. Abbott, as you may know, makes Similac. The breastfeeding bag promotes breastfeeding and is full of helpful, beneficial breastfeeding stuff, right? Um, no. Traditionally, they have a supply of formula, coupons for formula, a breastfeeding guide and some breastmilk. You have a crapp...

Car StarRod: November 2011
http://carstarrod.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
You didn't say Car StarRod! Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Hi, I'm Star. And since June, I have been battling depression and anxiety. This is kind of a big deal for me to write. I don't like admitting negatives about myself. I don't like seeking help. I am independent to a fault. And I certainly don't like admitting that something was wrong with me. I hold my own shit down. I'm tough like that. Except when I'm not. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I love ice cream and I hate bugs. View my complete profile.

Car StarRod: Sleep
http://carstarrod.blogspot.com/2011/09/sleep.html
You didn't say Car StarRod! Monday, September 19, 2011. Hi, I'm Star, and I have not slept more than 4 uninterrupted hours in about two years now. My kid, you see, thwarted that at the end of my pregnancy, and continues to thwart it by night nursing like constantly. Why is she still in my bed, you ask? But my freaking god, I would cut someone for 8 uninterrupted, non-bed-hogged hours. Hope you get some sleep soon. With my two so close in age, I felt like it was 4 years before I got more than 4-6 hour...
