I remember this cool thing I used to do. It was all about me, my subconscious, and my pillow. Oh the fun we had! Sleeping in on a Saturday, like every American adult hopes to do. It is fantastic and lovely and so enjoyable. Now, I have early bird princesses. And an early bird husband, so things usually work out well. Except when said husband forgets he is an early bird and stays up late Friday night.

I really do not like seeing Saturday mornings. But I love my smiling girls and their early morning happiness. Saturday morning cartoons aren't that great though. One cartoon was talking about poop. "Mommy, there's dinosaur poop on tv!" Seriously? Then all day we heard 'my dogs poop, too. Everybody poops!' Yes, Lovey, everyone poops.

We watched a National Geographic special on the 3 Big Cats: tigers, lions, and leopards. K picked it to watch and we all liked it. Pretty interesting stuff, like the difference between our jaw muscle to brain size ratio compared to a big cat. We have tiny baby muscles used to control our jaws but we have big brains- even though some people talk more than they think! Tigers, lions, and leopards are the opposite, big jaw muscles to eat with and little brains because they don't think about much but eating!

They also talked about the 'liger'. It's mommy was a tiger, daddy was a lion. They obviously didn't get it on in the wild! And I kind of had a problem with that. It is just another example of people messing with things we don't need to mess with. Mating the DNA of two different species to make a 'supercat'- just to say you made a supercat. So it will be bigger. Bigger isnt always better!

Before we watched this show I told J that same thing- bigger isnt always better! That was during our discussion/argument about our future. I told J he should raise grass fed, hormone free cattle. Emphasis on he. I told him I would agree to live in the middle of nowhere if there was a productive, ecofriendly purpose. But let's be honest, me in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by cows?!
