A bit of unpaid advertising here, because I think it's deserved. Kudos to Real Simple magazine, which in its current issue's article on dresses actually has a short woman in the "best for petites" style, a plump one in the "best for plus sizes" style, a chesty one in the "best for large bust" style, and so on. They don't look like professional models, and they're not all white, either. Also to Whirlpool, who (according to Reba McEntire in their own ads, admittedly) donates a fridge and a range to every house Habitat for Humanity builds (I love Habitat's "sweat equity" model). And to the guys at Armordeck who did our backyard redo includig a propane grill for a reasonable rpice and who thus made tonight's extremely tasty dinner (grilled shrimp and asparagus, 5 min of prep time nad about 8 to cook) possible. The other advantage to the grill is that Rudder now cooks about twice as much as he used to -- or at least more of his cooking is real cooking, not just packaged stuff.
Disclaimer: I have no connection to any entity mentioned in this entry except Rudder. Oh, and the shrimp and asparagus I ate for dinner.
