things on my agenda for the rest of the evening:
- eating this awesome trail mix i just made. i threw together some gluten-free pretzels, dried apricots, cashews, almonds, raisins, and a few chunks of dark chocolate. yum! and like everything i make, i accidentally ended up making a HUGE amount of it.
- drinking water from my new, decent-sized water bottle i’ve finally found! and for only five bucks, too! yay! so sick of searching for a nice water bottle to bring to classes and such, only to find them overpriced and no more than 20 oz. this one’s 26 oz and was onlyfive dollars. got it from the fresh ‘n easy market just around the corner of my neighborhood.
- reading my favorite book: Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. it’s so heart wrenching and makes me want to cry every time i read it… the bad kind of cry and the good kind.
- and of course blogging. :)

Controversial Facebook Photos of the Day: Air National Guard members Terran Echegoyen-McCabe and Christina Luna recently posted to Facebook several pics of themselves breastfeeding in fatigues — which they do all the time on Fairchild Airforce Base in Spokane, Washington – and their photos have prompted outcry from around the world.
No matter that there are no rules in military conduct against breastfeeding in uniform; one disparaging Facebook comment compared the images to “urinating and defecating.”
Fellow soldier Rita Trujillo commented:
“I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”
The photos were taken for the Mom2Mom Breastfeeding Support Group,which raises awareness of women’s right to breastfeed in public.

America hates mothers in a way that is so insipid, you have WOMEN disparaging other WOMEN for doing what the breast was intended to do and being active engaged mothers.
And why?
Because “I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”
This is a statement made by a woman about how women feeding their children in their work fatigues damages her status and acceptance as a female soldier. Meaning motherhood is seen as something “weak” and breastfeeding is “dirty”.

“Antidepressants and other psychotropic medications have the side effect of dulling the mind, while offering no other benefits to the patient’s overall well-being. Yoga’s side effects include weight loss, slowed aging, lower blood pressure and reduction in chronic pain.” -Dr. Jane Hendricks, NMD
