Finally something good happened!

I have just had a really horrible day. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. After having such an awful afternoon, I finally received some good news. I was asked to review a product from CSN, which I am actually pretty excited about. I was looking on their website and noticed that they have a cast iron bread pan. You guys know how much I love baking! I am SUPER excited about finally getting to try a nice, quality bread pan. So, be expecting a riveting post about Amish white bread and a cast iron pan (recipe included of course!). In case you are unfamilar with them, CSN is an online store where you can find lots of cool stuff - like children's luggage, cast iron cookware, or even beautiful wall art. I am excited about this opportunity, I can't wait to share my experience with you guys.

More on my harrowing day tomorrow...


Polygamy

I am completely fascinated with polygamy. For some reason, I just can't get enough of these people. Big Love is one my favorite shows. Any time I see a documentary on polygamy, I have to watch it. And just recently, I started watching the TLC show Sister Wives. So interesting!

Honestly, I think polygamy is an interesting idea. I love how these people have HUGE families (that is another subset of people I am fascinated with. If you have more than 6 kids, I will automatically want to know more about you.) I also love how these women can push their jealousies aside for the greater good of their families/their religious beliefs. I love how they work together and help raise each others kids.

I tend to be a jealous person, so for me personally, I could never be in that type of relationship. NEVER. I would be miserable. But I do think it is wrong to outlaw polygamy. What is so horrible about having multiple wives? If they are all willing, consenting adults, then it isn't really anyone's concern. I thought America was all about religious freedom?

All of this to say that Big Love is gearing up for its final season. I am bummed. I really liked that show. I also learned that the husband from Sister Wives is facing possible jail time for polygamy. Gah.
