Nutty Bars & Such

There are sometimes food that I really really want to eat- even though I know it's awful and no one should eat it. For example, carbonated, caffeinated, sugary drinks such as soda and nutty bars. I really want to eat a nutty bar no matter how awfully bad it may be.

BG Hot Rods

So, tonight Billy and I went downtown for a press conference to learn the new name of our minor league baseball team. They named the team the BG Hot Rods. Billy got a t-shirt, hat, and season tickets... Yes, you just read correctly for seventy of my summer nights Billy and I will be at the ball park. I'm excited, but Billy is ecstatic!

Hulu

Paige gave me a gift... The knowledge of website called Hulu. The reason that it is so cool is b/c you can watch episodes that you missed online... Fun... adding to my addiction to TV.

The Meaning of Our Holidays

I found this cool site that tells the reason that we celebrate certain things... I don't know how true it is but I thought it was pretty cool either way-- check it out.

Traditions

I know I may sound like the biggest dork but I love traditions... I love holiday traditions. I love the way that they just make me feel like it is the holiday time. For example, every year I go to the apple orchard to pick out a pumpkin. The summer I go to quite a few festivals. During Halloween The Great Pumpkin makes me feel festive. White Christmas is definitely a Christmas thing along with the Christmas Spider. A new tradition that I have fallen in love with is The Elf on The Shelf. This elf shows up at your house sometime during December to keep an eye on your family. Every night while you are sleeping the elf goes to tell Santa what you've been doing. I just love the idea of doing this. Sprinkling cookie crumbs under the elf. Moving him around every day. Putting out food for the Santa's raindeers. It makes me feel fuzzy and happy inside!!!

Stitch and Bitch

Just wanted to share that knitting is one of my favorite hobbies and Stitch and Bitch is my favorite accessory to that hobby!

Starbucks

Today, Paige and I took our own mugs to Starbucks.... It was pretty cool... I got my coffee in my own mug, felt good about not having to throw away another container, and got a discount for bringing it. I love my Fuzzy Duck mug!!!!

Papa John's Pizza

Today we ordered pizza and waited and waited and waited. Over an hour later our pizza gets here. When we open it up and take the first bite we realize it is not the pizza we ordered. So I call them and tell them that we would like our pizza. They say okay and tell us they are sending us a new one and that we can have the old one... Then as we are getting ready to put the pizza in our mouths they call back to tell us that we need to give them back the wrong pizza... Which is fine, but how long is it going to take to get the new one? Over thirty minutes.... i.e. probably another hour or more... I'm just annoyed b/c it's taking them so long -- we live probably 3 miles from them-- it's late, I'm hungry... and so on and so on.... Just annoyed, I guess there is nothing we can do.

More Random Things

Now that I'm thinking about it I can't stop...
9) I live without shoes on. I take them off as much as possible... I know helping out the Kentucky theory of shoeless people.
10) As soon as I get home I feel that I must change into PJs. I live in them... I have several pair and only wear them while at home.
11) My fave pizza is pineapple and cheese. I love it... Recently, I've also been getting onion or mushroom or green pepper.

My New Room

So today I have been getting my room in order... I'm super excited!!!!

7 Random Things

Ashley has tagged me so I guess I need to now list seven random things about myself. The question is how can I pick just seven random things about myself... My blog is called Randomness.... But here goes...
1) I research constantly. I'm not talking about one subject- it is completely random and unknown what I might be researching. For example: one day I researched the youngest serial killer in history (a ten year old named Mary Bell) another day it was eco-friendly home designs.
2) I am obsessed with being eco-friendly and with the things I throw away. At home we have a compostor and three different trashcans for various forms of trash.
3) I love and hate school at the same time. I am debating on the next program I am going to enter when I haven't even ended my current one. I feel like a professional student. 8
4) I love school supplies. It is very hard to not buy them and when crayons go on sale for .22 cents each I get really excited.
5)If I get a new thing, say a shelf, I can't wait to get it put into place. I want to have everything done immediately. I can't think about anything else until it is done.
6) I'm addicted to youtube and tv. I watch it all the time. The things I find on there are crazy and funny and I love them! Even though I never comment or leave vlogs- I actually feel that I am a part of their community....
7)I'm a horrible side seat driver and drive everyone I know crazy. Cars on the road give me anxiety.
8) I could eat Arby's every night.
I know... I just couldn't stop at 7.
So, I guess I'll tag Paige and Dee.

Cool Dance

Really really cool!

Blue Orange

So, today I bought a really cool game from Blue Orange. It is called Bendomino. It has pictures and bendy pieces and is played like dominoes. The coolest thing is that the company and games are green.

Teaching

I got a job today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While it is not a teaching job it is kind of a teaching job. I am a Resource Aide but I will be teaching groups all day!!! Yeah!

Quli's New Home

So today we put together Quli's (Chili's) new home, he broke his old one. I think he was really happy and interested in it. The best part was that we got rid of the plastic he was eating!

Good Foods Co-Op

Right now I am blogging from Good Foods, a grocery store/cafe in Lexington, KY. I love this place. The food was so good. You get a plate, put food on it, then take it to the front to be weighted. The food was all local, organic and delicious. I wish that we had a place like this in BG! Well, I'm off to go buy bar shampoo... all in the hopes of removing more and more plastic from my life!

Getting Ready for Winter

We are currently getting ready for the weather to change cold. Last year, our first year here, we didn't do as much as we should have. So this year I bought curtains to go in the bedroom and the living room to help prevent cold air from coming in.

Miniature Animals

Miniature animals are so so so cute. Ashley and I were talking about this today. I just thought I would post a couple of my favorites... Billy has always wanted a cow! I think I could live with these. We even have a farm a couple of hours away that has the little cows! Bluegrass Miniature Cattle, Inc.

Planet Earth

I am currently watching the series Planet Earth. It is really interesting. Right now I'm on "Fresh Water" and I am learning about flies that are mating above a lake in Africa. It talks about early explorers believing that the columns of flies were the lake smoking as if it were on fire. I'm a little amazed, some of the filming doesn't even seem that it would be real. I really like it!!

Lip Balm

I am addicted to lip balm. I love love love it!!!!! My new favorite kind is alba botanicals.

Water

I just watched a great movie. The name of it is Water. It is set in India and is about the living conditions of some widows due to religious beliefs. A girl becomes a widow when she is 8. She then is sent to live with other widows. I enjoyed the story. It was sad and depressing, but very interesting to watch and I felt really connected with some of the characters.

Religion

I started a religion class tonight. It seems to be very interesting. Today's topic was Islam.
