About…the Wary Consumer.

This blog is for those who must ask questions, lots of questions.  And also for those who want to know the answers but don’t have time to ask the questions.  Curiosity saved the consumer.

About…me.

I like to know things, really know things.  I ask questions like a toddler, one after another (just ask my husband).  I like to know the answers to questions most people don’t ask.

I like bugs.  Except cockroaches – I have a hard time accepting them as God’s creation.  I like the world.  I like to imagine what it was like before Homo sapiens messed it up (or Homo sapiens sapiens, if you prefer that idea).   I get really excited about all things natural science.  A grasshopper or sunset can distract me mid-sentence.  I like being barefoot outside but not inside.  I love the smell of paper, my husband, dirt, and wild dill.  I enjoy biting my nails.  I love our Creator.  (How beautiful and loving and just He is!)

I don’t like bad drivers.  I hate shaving (how many hours of our lives do we waste?).  I loath things that have been poorly planned and designed, from the smallest dollar store item to the city of Lubbock.  I hate vapid culture.  I hate trophy hunting.  I hate pharmacies that move out of their current building into a brand new one across the street, only to leave all the lights on in the “old” empty one twenty-four hours a day (CVS).  I detest American marketing (probably all marketing, but I’m only familiar with the American kind).  In all the answers I’ve sought, I’ve never found a single reason to trust the FDA, Big Pharmaceutical, or Monsanto – so, I strongly dislike them, too.

I am energetic late at night.  I am hostile (Ben, my husband, calls me Captain Aggression).  I often crack myself up and laugh until I cry.  I drop my cell phone all the time.  I like to say “vagina” to people who find the word uncomfortable.  It serves them right.  Evil of me, maybe, but they’ll survive.
