The Bible

I am currently listening to The Bible on Archive, an online library.

Sick

I am home today; we were suppose to be at a UK football game; sick. I hate being sick!!! So I'm taking this drugged up laying in bed time to watch movies and try to feel better. I wish I had a fairy to bring me soup!

Outsourced

Outsourced is a really funny cute movie about a job closing in America and being moved to India. I really enjoyed this movie. He starts out with a guy who has a bad attitude and learns from his experience going and living for a short while in India.

Sxephil

I can't help it..... Paige thinks it's crazy... Billy doesn't watch it... but I really like to watch sxephil on youtube. I think he's funny and I like the way he comments on current events.

Sarah Palin Doll


Okay, so I'm not for Sarah Palin but I still think this is just wrong! You can check out how to buy this doll by going to their website. A woman gets high in politics and they try to make her a sex symbol.

Book Sale

Today Paige and I went to the local book sale. We were looking around and picking up books when a woman came to tell us (and others at the sale) that it was closing time. Paige and I continued to browse b/c there was a bit of a line at the front -- there were others doing the same thing-- this lady followed us around telling us that it was closing time... we finally said fine and put the books we had found down and didn't buy anything (because she was following us and harassing us and only us). When we left we looked at our phones and it was only 5:05, this was after we put our things down, walked to the car, and got about half a mile down the road... Annoying!

Paige's Google Tip

Copy and Paste this into your google search and use it as your personal napster. Search for all your favorite songs. Just replace the Name of Artist with who you want!

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3) "Name of Artist"

This is pretty fun so I thought I would take it off Paige's page to share!

Laptop is Home

I'm so excited!!!! My laptop is finally home!!! I missed it so so sos sos ososososs so much!!! It's funny how used to having it I am and how different my life is when it isn't here.

Interview

Monday I have an interview for an aide job at LRE, where I worked last year!!! I'm a little excited and a little sad.... Either way I will be happy with the outcome. I really want to be a teacher and this job will allow me to teach without the stress of all the paperwork. I really want to wait until I graduate to try to get a teaching job. I feel overwhelmed with all the tests and the projects I need to do.

Fireproof

I really want to watch this movie... There is only one line that seems to be too cheesy!

My First Movie

Today I was in my first ever movie. It wasn't really a movie.... just a skit for my friends class. But I had to learn lines... And it was all in Spanish!!! It was kind of fun.. thought I felt a little silly through part of it.

I'm currently reading....

Laptop

I'm so sad... My laptop is in the shop. When I called in to talk with the people about it (it was overheating) they asked, "Is it hot enough to catch on fire?" I said, "I'm not suuureee... it's really hot." They said, "do you think you could fry an egg on it?" I said, "Well, it is very hot... Maybe." They responded, "Since this is a serious issue we are going to pay for your shipping and we are going to put it at the top of the priority list." Okay, but I have to ship it within 48 hours... I was very very sad and really miss my computer. I feel so nervous that it has been shipped away.... I can't wait to get it back.

Reusable Menstrual Pads

Goods for Girls

Okay, so I haven't decided to completely go this direction, but when I take out the sewing machine (hopefully, this weekend) I think I'm going to make a few of these to send to this organization.

Ecozone- Ecoballs

The strangest thing... I don't know about this product, but am tempted to try it out. You use these balls instead of laundry detergent. I have read a few reviews about them and they are said to be just as effective but eco and skin friendly. However, they cost about $60 for three and you have to take them out of the wash as soon as it is done. On the upside, though, they last for 1000 washes... Interesting.

Refrigerator Dishes

Refrigerator dishes


I think these are super cute... there are many in different styles and I am currently on the look out for some of them. Martha Stewart had some at KMart but they aren't selling them any longer. These are another thing on my future wish list.

Plastic Again....

I am reading all these articles about reducing plastic use and why we should try to reduce our plastic use (see photo). The only question I have is how is this even possible. Almost everything I buy has plastic on or in it. I mean, EVERYTHING. I'm unclear how Fake Plastic Fish, Envirowoman and others do it. Where do they get shampoo? Do they use ketchup? Mayo? Do they eat out? Do they eat meat?

To-Go Ware 2-Tier Stainless Steel Food Carrier

I know I'm a dork, but this is on my wish list. I think that they are useful and cool.

Plastic Bag Ban

Interesting bit of information. There are now some places around the world that are banning plastic bags. Some are charging fees for those continuing to use plastic bags. To read more about it go to npr and National Geographic.

Crunchy Chicken

Crunchy Chicken has lots of challenges for people to do. One of them is go the summer without air conditioning. I was thinking about this and decided that I don't think I could do it. With the temperature sometimes 100 degrees and no air moving I just don't think I could go the whole summer with no A/C. Although, I would like the lower utility bills.

Composting

I know it will sound crazy but today I went out to stir the compost and found that some of it has actually changed into dirt.... I know that is what is suppose to happen but it was exciting none the less.

Produce Bags

Make-A-Bag is a blog I stumbled upon today while thinking about produce bags. I want to get some so that I don't have to use the plastic ones to get my produce. On the site they have a lot of cute bag patterns. The produce ones are something I think I could make and would like to use.

Plastic Bag Uses

This is GREAT!!!! Something to do with plastic bags that I feel to guilty to get rid of!!!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

We may be going to see them in December.

Titans vs. Jacksonville

Next weekend Billy and I are going to see a Titan's game. I'm sure I will have fun but I wish I like football!

Brain Age 2

Brain Age 2 is such a fun game. It's completely addictive and sometimes quite hard.... I love to play it and attempt to have the highest score!!!

Son of a Witch


I did not love this book. It was a sequel to the book Wicked. But I felt that it didn't really end and parts of it were really rushed. Little was sometimes explained and some plot movements went to fast. There is another sequel... so I guess I'm going to get it so that I can see if it ends the story.

Stuff White People Like

Ashley introduced me to this website and I just think it's funny. Some of the things on the list I really do like! Like the unpaid internship which I am currently partaking in. I, also, like study abroad, recycling, vintage, Netflix, having two last names, expensive sandwiches, and many more... However, composting is not on the list and I love composting!!!

Boyz II Men


Billy and I went to a Boyz II Men concert a few weeks ago. It was really fun. They put on a great show. Some have called me a dork, but I really had a great time.
