Crack Cheese Available online!

It may be possible for a Lowcountry southerner to survive above the Mason-Dixon after all:

They even have a crack cheese blog!!!! with VIDEOS.

If you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, click on the first link and buy yourself a container of Palmetto Cheese (I vote for the jalapeƱo variety). My dad, who knows a lot about everything, is convinced that the lady on the lid (again, you'll know what I mean when you buy some which I assume you are doing RIGHT NOW) puts heroin in the secret recipe. You can't just have one cracker. Next thing you know, it's dark out, the tub is empty, and you're ten pounds heavier. But happy. Very happy.

UPDATE: They also sell shirts that say "I'm addicted"-- proof, I tell you! Proof! I may have to buy one. Or four. I know a lot of addicts.

UPDATE AGAIN (I clearly posted this too quickly): Apparently the lady on the lid is Vetrella Brown, who is credited with adding the, ahem, "soulful" touch to Palmetto cheese. I think we all know what soulful means.

Deer Me (it's been a long time since I posted last)

Much to my dismay, grad school doesn't leave much time for crafting. If I'm being analytical, grad school doesn't leave much time for anything, including but not limited to, husbands, friends, cooking, family, cats, exploring your neat new neighborhood, going to museums, exercising, etc. It also doesn't leave me much time for shopping, which is a very good thing. But I struggle with the loss of the other activities, especially the husband/family ones.

Last weekend, the last thing I wanted to do was pick up my drafting materials and draw out floor plans. While procrastinating feels good in the moment, the accumulation of it = eventual anxiety. How do I deal with anxiety? Crafting, of course (this may be interpreted as more procrastination... but I think that would be inaccurate. But that's just my opinion of course.)
