Let's Be Honest

Hello again! I hadn't intended to disappear for a week, but apparently Michigan has been getting some of the deepest snow cover in the US. Not exactly a distinction I would have hoped for... but... hey, congratulations, Michigan. In any case, the last winter storm was so generous with the snow that Will and I spent the greater part of our weekend shoveling free our cars and driveway and paths to our propane tank, which meant no trips to the library for internet. As I discovered later, even the library was buried behind a mountain of snow, so any way you look at it, our link to the outside world was pretty much toast. This made me feel very dramatic and overexcited, and I spent several minutes imagining our new lives of isolation in the wilderness, with only Will's knowledge of edible wildlife to feed us and our rather limited knowledge of the stars to guide us (if, you know, we felt like exploring). Then Will reminded me that his phone had internet (right... I knew that....).

Since I don't have the heart to post another picture of snow, I thought I'd share something my lovely friend Karyn sent me today. Just in case you need a bit of cheering up before you shovel the driveway for the 7th time today, check out this list of "honest" company slogans.


According to WebMD, I currently might be suffering from Sleep Deprivation, Caffeine Withdrawal, Low Blood Pressure, Exercise (haha), Tuberculosis, Malnutrition OR Obesity, Hepatitis, or Typhoid Fever.

This one made me laugh especially. I still eat them. I don't know why.

Happy Wednesday. :)
