I'm thinning out the carrots so the rest can grow bigger.

Aren't these adorable?  


I chopped them up really good


and tossed them into a mixed greens salad (making it even more mixed....)


Go Greens!!


On a Slightly Negative Note.......

I'm watching Inside Edition (or was it 20/20....) Friday night, and they have a show on Narcissists concentrating on celebrities.  After watching I'm thinking that it sure isn't JUST celebrities displaying this type of behavior. 

This from Wikipedia describing what a narcissist is:
  1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
  2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
  3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
  4. requires excessive admiration
  5. strong sense of entitlement
  6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
  7. lacks empathy
  8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
  9. arrogant behavior
IMO almost all of these describes what the the U.S. has become as a country.

I wonder if it's just the Bush Administration - or have we degenerated over decades to be what we are today.

These are examples of why I feel this way:

We let poor people do without basic necessities like health care and food.
We don't respond to the needs of other countries who are experiencing emergencies (Darfur currently - but there have been many)
We expect English to be spoken even when we are in a country where English isn't the first language.
We readily intimidate countries who we disagree with (granted some need to be dealt with - but we are too quick to say we'll take miltary action)

Our country behaves in this manner, and so does most of big business - and small business is following suit - will every individual soon be next?  

I'm very concerned about things like this because I'm seeing more and more of it every day (or am I just noticing it more now that I recognize that it's there.....)
