The more of these kinds of articles I read, the more I feel like I'm sinking into some nightmare.

It occurs to me that I want to see a study showing how many women died from illegal abortions before 1973, combined with child abuse records, child abandonment records, and cases of child poverty, and compare them to comparable post-1973 information. Any takers? Any one already done this? Perhaps I'll have to do a little sleuthing.

Oh, and thanks mom and dad, for getting me out of that state when I was young.

Ok, I'm becoming ridiculously obsessed with the crafting. I just keep thinking of stuff I want to make. This might become a problem. Of course, we'll see if I actually MAKE anything...I can be terrible about moving from inspiration to...er...actually doing stuff. Yeah....

But craftster is my new favorite.

Yes, this is my general life plan, too. Except I keep getting distracted by all the frivolous distractions.
