I was recently cutting back on meat consumption but after I got sick the last few times I ate meat, my body is telling me to give it up.

Any good recipe suggestions for meatless meals. (I do eat eggs and dairy).

Anyone else have to venture out today?

I thought I was all done, but last night I received a custom order in my Etsy store so I have to go out and buy the supplies for it. Hopefully AC Moore won't be too terrible today.

So I'm cleaning up my Etsy store a bit and I have a few pussyhats currently listed (and will be listing a few more) as there's another Women's March in January.

This is the description I have for one of my pussyhats.

On January 20, 2018 women will be back on the streets and nastier than ever with the 2018 women's march.

Prepare with a festive pussyhat made with a cranberry and white yarn with silver metallic thread in the yarn. Wear it proudly to show solidarity with women across the US and the world.

I'm a campaign staffer who has devoted my professional life to progressive causes. Knitting is my way of staying sane during the Trump administration.

Is there any details that you would add? Leave out?

Look US Senate races are not gerrymandered. We just won a seat that I didn't think we'd win in my lifetime.

In VA, there's a close house because the Democrats overcame a gerrymandered map.

Leave no race uncontested and stop using gerrymandering as an excuse.

We did it in NJ, VA and now Alabama.

Blue wave coming.

craftsbycarolineshop.etsy.com is my store where I feature handmade jewelry and pussyhats.

I'm about to head downtown to enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry at a locally owned coffee shop. Today's a reminder to patronize the local businesses in your community and help them stay alive for the next year.

If you don't need any gifts, eat locally today.

It's minor in the grand scheme of things but my inbox has been flooded today thanks to the tax bill.

I received no fewer than 3 emails with the subject "Paul Ryan has passed"

I get that they mean passed legislation, but usually when I hear the term .... has passed, I am thinking they've dropped dead.

Just a kick to call your congresscritter about it today.

(I'm not worried about my senators-- both Democrats but one absent).

Tis the season where you can't walk into a store without Christmas music playing. When grocery shopping today, "Baby It's Cold Outside" came on. Looking at the lyrics in modern context, it is about date rape.

This was the first time this year I've heard it and listened to the lyrics closely. She keeps saying no and he keeps using the weather as an excuse for yes.

What's your take on the song?
