I don't eat much meat at all for many reasons, one because I have a hard time digesting it since some abdominal surgery, but also because it is expensive! Alternatives don't seem expensive to me. It depends on how far you go with it.. lately I've been trying to buy organic and local and organic is more expensive.

But really I wanted to comment about the underwear! That was always the last thing I spent my money on and I considered it like a luxury. Nobody but the peeps at the laudromat see it, besides me, so who cares. But then I was watching one of the way-too-many forensic shows on TV and they were working on a homicide and determined that the intruder had stolen more than 30 pairs of the victim's undies...

...and I thought "30 PAIR!!!!????" I've never had that many at one time in my life EVER! lol. I was deprived! Living below the underwear-poverty line! So I began buying a few every month and I now open that drawer... and feel SO rich! Weird, I know..
