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.

Drunk Blogging

Reading a co-workers blog (he posted poetry after drinking) made me think that maybe it would be fun to get drunk and blog. I passed this idea by Sinda who thought it could be highly entertaining.

So maybe...maybe not...next time I write in this blog it will be stream of consciousness drunk blogging. Who votes yes to this? I would offer to post drunken pictures while drunken blogging but alas my camera was stolen.

Now...who is going to have the party to get me into the blogging frame of mind? Any takers there? Low calorie food served would be a great accompaniment to the spirits since I am on a diet. Thanks for your consideration.
