Our apartment is a mess. There are clean clothes that need a home and dirty dishes fill the sink. This makes me feel not good enough. Because, you know, I am a woman. Which obviously means that on top of working 60-80 hours a week, grocery shopping and cooking, my home should also be spotless. I'm not good enough. Because I cannot do all of this in one week. Because I need time for me, to relax. But, this means not cleaning. And this means my home is a mess. And this makes me anxious. Because I am not good enough.
Of course, I know this is not true. I am good enough. I'm just making choices about what is most important. The house will get clean when I have some free time. It's ok to just do nothing sometimes. It's ok to take care of myself instead of taking care of clutter and dirty dishes and unswept floors.
But I still feel not good enough.

I usually don't talk much about politics. It rarely accomplishes anything good. However, this article that Cecily of Uppercase Woman posted a link to really struck home. We haven't won anything, but we have lost so much.

book recommendations
I got a Barnes & Noble gift card for my birthday...any suggestions for good books?
My books of choice lately are novels by Cathy Lamb, but I've read them all - my favorite of her books is The Last Time I Was Me

Dishing for Dana
Well, I've definitely been slacking on writing regularly. I have no good excuse. I'm really going to try harder!
However, for today, I'm going to post about Dishing for Dana.
Dana runs The Broke-Ass Bride, one of the sites I read pretty regularly now that I'm planning a wedding. Dana has an autoimmune disease called Uveitis. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to live with such a disease.
Dana is putting together a cookbook to raise money to cover her current medical costs and insurance premiums for the rest of 2011. 10% of all proceeds will go to the American Autoimmune Related Disease Association. Additionally, any funds raising above her goal of $22,000 will be split 50/50 with the AARDA.
I just donated, and my mouth is watering from all of the delicious looking recipes!
Go check it out at Dishing for Dana!
(and I submitted a recipe for Jamaican Banana Bread which is phenomonal...hopefully it will be posted soon)
