I mean, would I, as a woman, be more inclined to buy this smaller, cuter hammer than the typical, heavy, ugly hammer?
Hmm... I wonder if they make one with Hello Kitty on it..?

a hammer for (g)irls
I'm not sure whether to be delighted or insulted at a petite hammer with pretty flowers on it.

(g)rub
in an effort to feed dinner to my kids at a decent time (I commute a little over an hour to and from work), I've been experimenting with a crock pot.
I've made successful chicken dishes with it, and I wanted to try a pot roast. I didn't do anything special, just bought a seasoning packet and cut up a potato.
at 5:30 a.m., I started the crock pot on low, with a stop time of 3 p.m. (when my youngest son got home from school).
he sent me a text when he got home: when can i eat? it smells really good.
I was so proud and excited that the roast would be a hit, I asked him to send me a picture.
ACK!!! what the heck happened to my pot roast?! was 9.5 hours too long? did I disintegrate it? (un)holy cow!!
turns out my son decided he was going to cut -- or rather, shred -- the roast on a cutting board and then put everything back into the crock pot.
whew! my kid's fault, not mine..!

(g)rocery bags
I've been on the hunt for reusable shopping bags that look like the regular brown paper grocery bags. I also wanted the reuseable bags to be able to stand on their own (like a paper bag) for easier packing at the checkout line.
and, Eureka!, i've found the Earth Tote, Original on www.reuseit.com.
Originally created as an alternative to single-use paper grocery sacks, this bag has also become a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts and urbanites alike. Made with armor-like Cordura nylon fabric, each of these bags will save thousands of disposable bags.
* Made with armor-like, ultra-durable 600 denier Cordura nylon
* Replaces 1000s of throwaway bags over its lifetime
* Stands up on its own for easy packing
* Folds up just like a paper bag
* Easy to clean
* Made with Fair Labor/Fair Wages
* 1% For the Planet member
* Also available in Recycled PET
I can't wait to take them to the grocery store!
