What if?

What if we made a conscience decision as consumers to only consume those products that are environmentally conscience? What would the world look like 10 years from now?

It's just a thought, but I'm going to make sure I do my part. And I think as part of that I'll post here what I've found. 

Well.

Well, it's been a while. It's a funny thing.. I started this blog because I had so much to say, but then as I started to write, I found I didn't really have anything to say. At least not anything worth spending time on, yours or mine. But now I found that I have much to say and so I thought I'd give it another try.... 

Please make sure to vote tomorrow. Please please please vote. I don't care who you vote for, well that's a lie, I do care, but I care more about you voting. It's amazing to me to think that at this time tomorrow we will know who our new president will be. It's my belief that voting is one of the most important tasks we have as citizens of this great country. There are so many people that die all around the world just for the right to vote and here we have it, let's not take it for granted. Let's not let all those who fought for this country and who still fight for this country die in vain. Go vote. Let your voice be heard. 

I've been counting down for a couple weeks now waiting for tomorrow to be upon us and now that's finally here I have a hard time containing my excitement. There really is little else that makes me feel as patriotic and as lucky and fortunate and humble as voting. Just to have that right to walk up and to cast my vote for who I think should be not only the next president, but who I think should run my state and my county and my town (small elections are just as important as the big ones). 

Please don't waste time coming up with excuses either. So many people say to me, what's the point of voting? What's the point?!? Is that a serious question? My age group has such a hard time realizing that the reason the country doesn't do more for them is because they don't cast their opinion! Show your government you care and that you have an opinion and I guarantee you'll see a government that starts doing more for you, but if you don't show them you care and that you have a voice, then what's the point of them focusing on you? And for those who say they don't care.. how do you not care? How can you not care? Go live in Africa, go live in India, in Tibet, in Columbia, in Russia, in China and then come back and tell me you don't care. 

It's your right and your duty to care, to have an opinion and to voice it, to vote. 

Back.. kind of

Well, I'm home. I have been for a couple days, but the day I got home I dropped my iBook and broke my power adapter in the landing. Leave it to Apple to build a sturdy laptop, but I wish they would put some work into their adapters. Anyway, I've ordered a new one and it's on it's way, but since it was cheaper to order a generic adapter online then to go with the Mac one, I have to wait on the postal service. I have many pictures to update and many stories to tell, I just hope I don't forget them all. 

Vacation..

I'm gone to the lake house for the week. I'll be back. If I find connection I'll update with pictures, otherwise, the iBook will only charge the shuffle!

Have a great week!

And the vacation begins today...

My parents have just left to the lake house to begin vacation. I go up Sunday after church. But do you know what this means? No, not a party, I'm over that. 

It means I can begin my remodeling of the living room. I can begin stripping the paint off the tin ceiling. I can begin taking down the ugly paneling and painting the walls. 

And of course I have stocked the fridge full of rum and wine because honestly, how else would I get this done. I have Kanye blasting away, a glass of chilled wine calling my name and a chocolate cream pie for dinner in the fridge. 

Oh yes, vacation has begun!

Olympics

In watching the Olympics, I love the men. The love the men diving in those sexy speedos. OMG. 

I love watching Phelps swim. OMG, I would so hit that. Oh please, you know you would do. I am not yet tired of the endless stories about him. And did I mention the men's diving and their speedos? Mmmm hmm. 

Morning Note

As i was about to leave for work this morning, I noticed this note my mom left for me. 

I opened it up to reveal this:

I almost died laughing. I got a free sample of panty liners in the mail yesterday and as she was talking to her friend yesterday afternoon in the kitchen I was all like, here you go and after her friend left she teased me about handing them out in front of everyone. So this was just great. 

I love my mom. She flippin rocks the casbah.
