Every year for my Mom's birthday, my Granny would make her a heart-shaped red velvet cake with white cream cheese frosting, covered with conversation hearts. Today, my Mom would have been 55. I made these sort of heart-shaped cupcakes in her honor. Love you, Mom. Miss you. <3

Of all the habits I acquired from my father, one that I really like is that I write my shopping lists on the backs of opened envelopes. When I see one lying on the counter, it reminds me of him. :)

Frogs Evolve Teeth—Again - http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news...

Victor, I am not sure, but I think whales might have done that. [i.e. having completely lost fins and then evolving them again.] - Jenny H - -

"The discovery runs counter to a principle called Dollo's law, which states that physical structures lost during evolution are never regained, according to Wiens, an evolutionary biologist at Stony Brook University in New York State. In fact, the teeth's reappearance may have exposed the law's loophole: That it's "much easier to re-evolve things if you're already making them somewhere else," Wiens said. In other words, the frog "didn't have to make teeth on the lower jaw from scratch, because they're already making them on the upper jaw."" - Jenny H - -

"Lucy" Was No Swinger, Walked Like Us, Fossil Suggests - http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"An unprecedented fossil foot bone appears to confirm that Australopithecus afarensis—the early human ancestors made famous by the "Lucy" skeleton—walked like modern humans, a new study says. Until now it had been unclear just how upright—in a sense, just how human—Lucy really was. (Related: "What Was Lucy?") With the newfound A. afarensis fossil, "just about everything that you would expect of a modern bipedal foot is present here," said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy, who was not involved in the research. "I don't know what more the world could want in order to demonstrate that upright walking similar to that of modern man was present" in A. afarensis." - Jenny H - -

"Unearthed at a known A. afarensis fossil trove in Hadar, Ethiopia, the 3.2-million-year-old fossil is a metatarsal, one of five long bones that connect the large bones in the back of the foot to those of the toes. The fossil's size and shape allowed scientists to determine that the foot it had belonged to was stiff and had a well-defined arch—two features that help modern humans spring forward and that cushion the shocks of bipedal walking. Scientists had already known, from pelvis fossils and other remains, that A. afarensis could walk on two legs and no longer had the apelike "foot thumbs" used by other human ancestral species for grasping and climbing. Before the discovery of the new A. afarensis metatarsal, though, it had been hard to say for sure whether Lucy and her kin had left the trees for good." - Jenny H - -

Bitter Pills For Bitter Pills: Five Essential Breakup Songs : NPR - http://www.npr.org/2011...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"These little five-track playlists can be shockingly difficult to compile: How do you narrow down just five road songs, or love songs, or work songs, or jazz songs? It's so subjective, so fraught with over-thinking, so in need of painstaking research, archive-mining, and what the kids these days call "crowd-sourcing." Picking five relatively new and utterly devastating breakup songs, however, involved opening my iTunes and sorting by play count. It was tempting to merely string together the Top 5 and call it a day: Bon Iver's "Skinny Love," 101 plays, check; Laura Gibson's "This Is Not the End," 100 plays, check; and so on. Instead, I did about three minutes of curation, decided Cee Lo Green's "F— You" was too obvious, and then called it a day." - Jenny H - -

"So here they are, just in time for the clown-show of the heart that is Valentine's Day: five bitter pills to swallow as you pick through the charred ruins of your life, deface your cherished mementos, and use the absorbent exterior of a Chipotle burrito to soak up your tears. This is, of course, but a tiny sampling of the bleak breakup music at your disposal: For heaven's sake, not one of these songs even predates 2006. So please, do your fellow heartsick haters a solid and recommend more essential breakup music — Noah and the Whale's The First Days of Spring! Blood on the Tracks! Practically everything by The Mendoza Line! — in the comments section below." - Jenny H - -

Jenny with a "y," not Jennie or Jenni. Don't call me Jen unless we know each other really well. I only use Jennifer professionally so if you call me that, I might not even respond. Finally, it sucks having one of the most common American names on the planet. Have I mentioned that I work with 5 other Jennifers?

Felted Wool Fingerless Arm Warmers | Heart of a Country Home - http://heartofacountryhome.wordpress.com/2010...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Cut the sleeves to the length you want the arm warmers to be. Pull them on your hand and mark where you want the thumb hole to be. Remove them and carefully cut a small slot to put your thumb through. Some hem around this hole, others do not. I chose to. Using embroidery floss, I hemmed the hole with the arm warmer on and my thumb poking through. It wasn’t perfect, but for the first time, it wasn’t bad either. Now’s the time to add any embelishments you want to add to the arm warmers. I chose 2 medium size black buttons since I was making these for my brother. I think they turned out great!" - Jenny H - -

"When you pull the sweater from the dryer, check to see if it shrank and if you can see the texture of the knitted stitches. If it did indeed shrink and the stitches aren’t visible, the sweater is felted and you’re ready to make the arm warmers." - Jenny H - -
