Good Posts From Mary

Mary has a couple of great recent posts that are great reads.  The first one is on Priorities and Time Management.  The other one is on reasons for homeschooling and also reasons for Letting Go.

Contraption Failure!

I've held off posting about this because I felt so betrayed.

Literally within 20 minutes of writing the last post, I was in the kitchen dicing some more onions and the thing broke. Irreparably. Frankly, I took it personally. As in, "Ha, ha, I got you to blog about me, now I'm outta here!"

But, I'm the one having the last laugh. For Christmas, Dave bought me the food processor attachment for my Bosch. I never used to bother getting out my food processor just for things like onions. But now I will. First, because using this attachment will be much more convenient than lugging out my food processor. Secondly, for spite.

And also to show my appreciation to my husband. Thanks, Honey!

(Mary, the title of this post was for you. :) )

Not Totally In The Tank?

Mary left a comment on my blog post about the show Community. Knowing that the shows 30 Rock and Community are considered to be in similar vein definitely confirms my prejudice against Community.

I've seen 30 Rock a few times. It's won the Emmy for Best Comedy for several years in a row. I think it's the most overrated show on TV. Of course, I have a conservative bias and 30 Rock has a strong liberal, Christians-and/or-conservatives-are-idiots bias.

I was pleasantly surprised to read this recap of the latest episode of 30 Rock. It's nice to see that Obama is (at least for one episode) an acceptable target of a top mainstream show.
