Girl Talk


Have you seen the site called Kindred? I love it because I love the girlie-girl desktop wallpaper. That's right women. Arise! Unite! Fem up your family computer. Stake your claim. I have the artwork by Ez Pudewa on our family laptop, but I had a hard time choosing, they were all so unique.

Computers don't have to be so masculine. I recently bought a new laptop for work and I so wanted to buy the pink one but I didn't. I went with the pretty purple one since I figured if a guy co-worker had to borrow it, he would be somewhat less mortified.

I've always wondered how pink became the girl color and blue the boys'. I think that's somewhat of a cultural thing. Hold on. Duh! I just googled it. Apparently before the 1920s babies from western families were mostly in white and dresses were worn by both boys and girls. THAT explains a lot. Those old family photos had me worried.

Both my daughters went through a PFD phase (Pink Fluffy Dress) when they were little, but Angela more so than Tessa. Angela wanted to wear nothing but a dress and "panties-hose" from about age three to five. Tessa is currently going through her second PFD phase I think. Maybe that's the sorority influence. Grunge just doesn't work with pearls.

You've heard of "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" right? I read about a group of women who decided to do something similar only with an expensive diamond necklace. They pooled their money for the $7,000 necklace they named Jewelia. I'm way too practical for that. Plus I would have absolutely nowhere to wear it.

I'm thinking of starting "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bundt Pan".

Dibs on being the next person with the traveling Bundt pan. I wanted to make a cake the other day, but didn't have a bundt pan. If a cake is Holey does it have fewer calories?

I think if I had a holey pan it would be more calories because I would find more surface area for smearing frosting. That has always been my problem with bundt cakes, they are always glazed and never frosted. Pity.
