Earth Day - a day late and other musings...

The good news is I am NOT drunk blogging. You have been spared. Sadly no one initiated a party on my behalf... The bad news is I AM blogging in general and it is kind of about nothing.

So let me start with a mini rant about how I have had a bad couple of weeks - house broken into (only MY stuff stolen. Sadly they did not steal my son's Backyardigans DVD), Newish (within a year) car messed up by local oil change establishment (if you live in SW Austin DO NOT GO TO the LUBE PITSTOP just before the Y in Oakhill. They cause damage and won't pay and will condescend and yell.) Be forewarned. Anyway, I have a new computer, new accounts and my car was fixed by Howdy Honda for free (I recommend them). SO...after this last couple weeks I want to say I hope it is over and I can have some good luck.

As for what I have been doing in my spare time (because I know you totally care)...I am in week 3 of my Economics class and so far am holding in there. I just don't understand as much as I should but I understand more than I thought I would. I am also doing TEAM Weightloss at the South Austin Lifetime Fitness. It has been hard but surprisingly fun. It has jump started my fitness routine again and I am working out nearly every day!

Future plans...well I see there is a great schedule for this summer at the Paramount for some classic movies - anyone want to join me for "Cool Hand Luke," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "9 to 5," and "North by Northwest?" Let me know because they all look good (and I have ONLY seen 9 to 5).

So back to Earth Day. I have been TRYING, I mean REALLY TRYING to be better. I installed all those peachy lightbulbs that are supposed to use less energy and last 7 years (Turns out they are also filled with mercury - Ooops! and they also totally don't last 7 years). I have also started buying those bags at the grocery store instead of going for paper or plastic. Problem is I keep forgetting to take the bags back so I KEEP buying them. I think I have about 15 now. I am not sure when the madness with stop or I will get smart and take them IN THE DAMN STORE WITH ME!!!

Does anyone else have this issue? Please let me know I am not alone.

Thank you and have a lovely evening.
