J let me sleep today while he got up with the baby. He did this assuming that I had to work overnight tonight. I actually don't have to work until tomorrow night, but I didn't remind him this until I slept 2 extra hours. He might have done it anyways, but I didn't want to take my chances. I lied about my due date to a lady in the supermarket today. I am 21 weeks, and she assumed that I was close to my due date (I am really not THAT big, but people are dumb.) When she asked (after already implying that I was near the end), I told her that I was 7 months pregnant instead of 5. Little white lie.

Sometimes I go in the U-Scan line at the grocery store and use un-organic product codes for the organic produce I'm buying. It only saves a little bit of money, but I feel like I'm beating the system. Why the he11 is organic fruit more expensive than regular? It's not like I'm paying for pesticides. . .

Part of the reason organic is more expensive is because it can be. It's marketing that a good share of people believe in (I'm not saying organic is good or bad it'sjust the fastest way I could explain it).

Also, it's ridiculously hard to grow plants pesticide/herbicide free. Bug control, weed control for organic is expensive and time consuming. Also due to off-spray from nonorganic neighboring fields organic plants are more likely to be affected and therefore die or can no longer be labeled organic. Bugs from sprayed fields also have a tendency to migrate to the organic ones creating problems with the organic crops as well.

I am so sad not to be able to pick up and hold Lena while I have been recovering from the gallbladder removal, but I have to admit that I am just loving sleeping in while other people get up with her.
