Super cute! Pictures of exotic baby animals. I think baby tawny frogmouths are my new favorite thing ever.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

StillTasty
StillTasty – the ultimate shelf life guide. This should hopefully eliminate all kinds of arguments the next time I go on a rampage and clean out the pantry.
Edited to add: Holy crap! You’re not supposed to wash chicken before you cook it. WHAT?!

Fatbet is ON!
Okay, in case you missed the Fatbet post below, I’ve set one up. It runs for the next three months. If you want to join in, all you have to do is set a reasonably difficult (yet achievable) weight loss goal for that period of time. (Note: The other competitors don’t see your weight; just your progress towards your goal.) I’m suggesting that anybody that doesn’t achieve their goal must PayPal $50 to the person who loses the most. People who achieve their goal must PayPal $20 to the ultimate winner. Yes, I’m talking real money here. That was the whole point of the NYT article that gave me the idea. People who literally bet their ass stand a much better chance of reaching their goals! If you want to join in, just send an email or leave a comment.
Note: The stupid site only uses pounds, not kilos. So those of us using the metric system have to convert.

is resigned to the fact that the price for a shoulder massage from Korean coworker is having him count the grey hairs on top of my head. 🙁

Pretty Necklace #1
Green Bamboo in Resin
I went a little bit nuts on the Etsy Bushfire Appeal shop last week and bought three necklaces. Me? Necklaces? I KNOW! Insanity. Anyway, the first two arrived last night so I’m working the bling today.
The first photo is me out in the park at lunch today; the second one is from the original seller. The necklace is “Green Bamboo in Resin” from Cherbie’s Creations. It’s Japanese paper in a pendant with resin on top, along with a tiny pearl and some crystals. Pretty, huh? I didn’t even realize until Snookums pointed it out this morning that the design on the paper makes a “K”. Nice!

Sturdy Tote Bag Tutorial
Another tote bag tutorial. This one looks a little more complicated than the previous, but also a bit more sturdy. (Why am I obsessed with sewing projects lately? I think I may need to take a break from knitting for a while.)

Fatbet?
Okay, I just read this NYT article about the efficacy of using wagers and competition to promote weight loss. Hmmm. I know that doing the Nike+ challenges against some of you motivated me to run farther. Maybe it would also work to drop some weight? I found this site Fatbet.net that hosts weight loss challenges. Each person gets to nominate the amount they want to lose in the time frame, so you can participate even if you don’t have a lot to drop. We could also nominate an actual wager that would provide incentive. I’m thinking actual cash that the winner would put towards a new wardrobe. Thoughts? Anybody interested?
