Somnolently silliful substantiosity

I finally laughed out loud today. It's been a few days. I did laugh yesterday, when I opted for the most excellent therapy of watching, "So I Married an Axe Murderer." That's always good for a laugh. But today, I laughed with pure delight, over something that was at the same time completely insubstantial and profoundly significant. There are times when silliness can be quite meaningful.

I've had so many nights of sleeplessness and disturbing dreams, tonight I'm going to try early. I've lightened my heart just a little bit tonight. I hope it helps.

yes! lightening your heart makes things so much easier! You may like the book "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. Totally lightened my view on just about everything.

That is funny, when I have had a really hard time sleeping I will get on our netflix account and find something stupid to put to the top of the list. One of my favorites is 3rd Rock from the Sun that show was so funny!

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but
