Friday FAIL!

Yes I know today is Thursday...now but I've seriously had to remind myself and a few others a couple of times today of the fact that today is only Thursday. We still have one more day to get through peeps...but we're getting there.

If you could see me you would see the mangled pile of "Thursday but thought it was Friday" mess I am. Hair is blow dried because of the sub zero temps today and that's about all she wrote. :) Seriously it is F R E E Z I N G here today and will be the same story tomorrow. I have lived here my entire life, this weather is nothing new to me and I have antifreeze running through my veins but this bone chilling stuff is getting old. I'm ready for some warmth. I won't even get greedy, I'd even take 35.... :)

Onto other things - I watched Oprah yesterday and I have to say I was intrigued. I am not a mindless Oprah follower but this was about food and where it comes from. She was talking about the documentary Food Inc. and I am watching this tonight when I get home from work. The big business of food is amazing and appalling. I took a class in college on Business Ethics and we discussed the food industry when we read the book "Fast Food Nation" it was interesting then but I'm looking forward to watching this movie tonight and forming my own opinion. I suggest others to do the same.

I do know one thing that disgusted me that was discussed on the show was how many hormones and antibiotics are given to chickens, pigs, & cows while "growing" them on the farm for certain companies. I guess my thing is that I'm ingesting that into my body because the animal did...yikes.

I am no hippie but the thought of ingesting chemicals I don't know about or didn't choose to take kind of freaks me out a little. Therefore Brad and I have made the decision to try to buy meat from local farmers when possible. It helps the local economy, we in turn "know" the cows, and my sis in law swears there is a difference in taste and quality. We get our first order soon....I'll let you know how it goes! :)

I should get back on my ice flow and float through the rest of my Thursday....
