>First Day

December 1, 2008

>of the last month of 2008.

I think I am allergic to lamb. We had lamb chops last night, and I didn’t like them. OK that’s fine, but I got a really bad stomach ache from them, not a normal stomach ache a hurting needles in the stomach, stomach pain. Since I am allergic to wool, I guess it isn’t too much of a stretch to be allergic to the meat of the animal too.

Last night I was bored and so I went to Barnes & Noble, fatal mistake. Fatal to my budget that is! I bought three books. Two were on my list so that is ok, the other one, well, it was interesting looking. For the titles, check out my blog: Bella is reading.

Em sent me a text to tell me there was a bomb scare/threat at the H.S. and the MTA puppies were there. Nice puppies! Big teeth. I asked her if they bit anybody and she said no, they just sniffed the lockers while everyone waited outside. Dogs have the best jobs. I bought the oil for her friend and sent her a picture of the bottle. This is what my day consists of!

Cookie sent me an e-mail saying she likes drivel, keeps her mind off sad thoughts. I should have told her, if you want drivel, read my blog!

>Last day of the month

Filed under: Uncategorized
November 30, 2008

>and I have not missed any days posting, I think. Anyway I beat the number of posts from last month. As I type this Snowy Bear is watching me. You would have laughed if you had been here when he fell of the bed I was calling, Snowy Bear Snowy Bear don’t fall! He landed on his face right on the floor. I had to rescue him. He is more fuzzy then fluffy now. He still looks good. But since he sits next to my pillow all the time and has been sat on a couple of times, it has had an effect on him.

I got a box to send that pillow to my mom. The one I got the day Em and I went to Tavern on the Green and got soaked to the skin. I still need to tape it up and address it. I also should put a card or something in with it. I also need to wrap up everything in the box for that other person I am sending stuff to. I am planning to mail everything on Wednesday since I have a doctor’s appointment that day and either won’t be going to work or will be going in late.

Today I didn’t get up until 1:00 or so. I feel much better now. Got another e-mail from Cookie. She is doing as well as can be expected. I still haven’t sent out her card. I need to do that. I think I will have to do that and read more in Helter Skelter after I leave here.

This is my favorite Coldplay song. In fact, this song is the reason I keep listening to their music. I like a lot of their songs. I never realized that the lead singer is kind of cute and has the prettiest eyes!

>early, and I cannot believe how freaking crowded this train is! It is like everyone in the city is trying to leave. I decided to go ahead and get the I-pod since I have enough money for it. The money for it is coming out of my other account anyway. You know the one linked to my amazon account, amazon, the people who are sending me $20 for the books I sold, Yippee! Between that and the money I put in it every payday and the coins I deposited there is enough money.

I feel like I am doing my part for the economy.

>Good night.

November 23, 2008

>I am just making a quick post before I hit the sack. I spent a lot of time online today. Mostly on my book sites updating my libraries. Of course they are virtual libraries. List of books I want to read I have 395 on Shelfari and 385 on LibraryThing. Only 212 are to be read.

I requested a couple of books from the library one is for a Shelfari discussion group and I don’t remember the other.

Other than that, Gwen and I had a good time at the meeting. We got to talk to friends we rarely see and after we went to Panera for lunch. We each got one of the two things, right now I can’t remember what they are called, soup and half sandwich, different soup and different sandwich. We were thinking we could continue our fun at home, but D was home. So we just went to our rooms. I have only been back upstairs to have dinner, I was going to watch L&O:CI but D wanted the news on. So I have been watching TV in the basement and working on my computer.

>Fredericka The Fertile

Thanks to Rob at Inukshuk Adventure for the link.

So for a bit of fun why not head over to the Medieval Name Generator and find out what you might have been named had you lived in, well, Medieval times!

If you are female go here and for the guys here.
If you are unsure or adventurous, try both.

>Blogging

Filed under: Uncategorized

>I have been tweaking my other blogs. The reading one I converted to 3 columns. I found a website with the instructions on how to change the html code so it doesn’t change your widgets. So that is good. Since I succeeded with that one, I might change this one to 3 columns also. The craft one, I also changed, then put it back, I don’t need 3 columns on that one.

When I got up to Panera, I couldn’t find Gwen, so I sent a text to Em. She called me, Stitch brought her home early. She was a little miffed at him, since he picked me up from the train and didn’t tell me. So I drove all the way to Panera, after getting an MRI and having a pounding headache from it, and didn’t have to! When I said something to Stitch, he said something like, ‘I thought she was going to tell you, after all she was the one that decided to come home early.’ ARG!

They gave me a CD with the images on it. So I can look at slices of my brain on my computer, I was going to post one here, but they look kind of funny. I have no idea if they look like they are supposed to, hopefully the doctor knows what to look for.

Now I should really go to bed. If I decide to make any changes to this blog, it will have to wait until tomorrow. But in the meantime, check out my Bella is reading blog and see how nice it looks now.

>$21K for a rug

November 20, 2008

>This is insane! The governor of NY is trying to cut spending, including cutting state worker’s salery, saying we are in economic trouble, OK, so maybe you shouldn’t have spent 21,000 dollars for a new rug!

He is also taking trips and going to Canada to make speeches. It leaves me speechless!

>The Cost of Bottled Water

Filed under: Uncategorized
November 19, 2008

>Tap water is a tremendous value for families and communities, typically costing less than half a penny per gallon. Bottled water is often an important and convenient choice for consumers and the traveling public but it certainly has its costs.

Consumers should know about the carbon footprint and environmental impacts of bottled water. It takes a lot of energy to manufacture, transport, and store bottled water. Experts estimate the plastic bottle manufacturing process alone consumes 17 million barrels of oil a year.

Street litter and marine debris are costly concerns, as well. Marine debris is a major pollution problem affecting the world’s oceans, coasts, and watersheds. Although impacts may be more visible at the local beach; marine debris is a national and international problem. Anything can become marine debris. Extremely light-weight items, like plastic bottles, are more likely to become marine debris than heavier items because they can easily be carried by wind from one location to another.

Think globally and drink locally. Tap into the savings and recycle for the streams’ sake.

>November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Filed under: Uncategorized

>With the month of November in full swing, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is asking for your help in creating awareness about the leading cancer killer of both American men and women.

Based on well-documented associations between workplace exposures and cancer, it is estimated that 20,000 people die each year from different types of cancer that can be attributed to exposure in the workplace. Here are some ways the CDC suggests that you can help raise awareness not just about lung cancer but all types of cancer:

• Talk. This is the easiest way to help. Talk with your friends, neighbors and colleagues. Let them know about cancer, signs for early detection and the importance of yearly exams with your doctor.

• Write. Send a letter, e-mail or fax to local legislators and ask them to increase funding for cancer research.

• Get Involved. Participate in a cancer-awareness event in your area or provide educational material to your local hospital, clinic or health fair.

• Purchase cancer awareness materials that contribute proceeds to charities or organizations that help with cancer awareness or research.

For more information on Lung Cancer Awareness Month, visit the CDC Web site.
