Besides the fact that it's not healthy, I would LOVE to eat pb&j, mac & cheese, cereal, etc. I actually have a whole list of foods (that I made in college) that are easy, cheap, fast, and likely quite bad for you. I'd be happy to share! Funny thing is, she may enjoy the kid food.

Yeah. Right. And don't worry, I don't let her spoil my online life. It's too important as a coping mechanism and outlet for me.

I was once asked to execute an illuminated presentation piece [gold leaf, painted borders, etc.] for a man who was establishing a sports scholarship at a local university. I remarked to a friend that I was doing something to be presented to a baseball player, Lee Trevino. She looked at me sadly, as though I had lived in a cve all my life. Ah, well.
