Mixed beans for 3.11.12

Well, shame on me, I missed last week’s mixed beans update.  I was out buying myself a pretty new laptop, after the great laptop drowning of 2012 and that took up most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday as we shopped, brought it home, figured out our file retrieval system and finally started to figure it all out. It’s been a busy couple of weeks!  Hmm, where to start?  I saw Miss Representation locally, and if...

Where did this week go?  I swear I make lists for an army of people to achieve – it’s like I pretend I will do nothing but tackle my lists all day long.  Oh, wait, I have to nurture these two kids and actually feed, clothe and care for them all day?  Oh, right, that’s where my days go.  Good thing they’re so cute, or boom – off to the gypsies they’d go. Actually, I can’t blame...
