I found the most amazing apartment today. It's two bedrooms, all brand new and a short commute to work, with a scenic drive. I'm a little aways from things, but right in the heart of an incredible, laid back scenery and a cute river town full of artists and laid back folk. It's pricey, but it's amazing. Now, I must wait and see what the owners come ( Read more... )

we went and saw 28 weeks later. I was dissapointed. More of a zombie flick with political overtones this time. There were so many possibilities for better scripts during the course of the  movie and none were taken ( Read more... )

We went back to Portland Maine and had a really good look around.

We looked to the left and we looked to the right and talked a lot about what we wanted and when from a place we would call home and set down roots.

I've talked many and much about how truely I feel that West is home to my soul, but was willing to put it on the backburner. However I ( Read more... )

1. The trip to Portland Maine was great. I think we'll do pretty fine there. I already miss the bit of exhale my entire body took in the laid back setting of northern territory.

2. The trip back wasn't fun but the storm provided a day off of school today. My heart goes out to the countless families whose homes lay underwater and will spend countless ( Read more... )

I've been in to this product line for a wee bit and I am loving it. The soap carton is even plantable. Their soaps smell amazing...Pangea Organics  MMMMM I see they have an olive oil and coconut soap- mmmm this might beat out my regular cinnamon and clove.

The closer I get to 30 the more something inside feels more settled, comfortable...as if I've ( Read more... )

I was given a pie chart today that ticked me off.

OK, here's the deal 92.8% of my school funding comes from local tax levy
                                .79% comes from other miscellaneous sources
               this LEAVES only 6.5% of funding to come from the state

now, my natural reaction is WTF?! So, we'll spend GATRILLION of dollars to chase ( Read more... )

PBS has begun a new series on the Earth. I watched it tonight for the first time and couldn't believe how much I'm unaware of...it made me want to add fish to the 'do not eat' menu.

Everytime I'm at the grocery store and forget my resusable, I get handed a plastic bag that makes me wrench inside. I only take it when I have more than 3 items but ugh ( Read more... )

So I've decided to get an external hard drive. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of above 200 GB. I'm slowly choking my laptop with my photos. Any suggestions or favorite brands...let me know. I'm PC based until I win a 50/50 raffle.

I picked up the new LCD Soundsystem and Modest Mouse albums at my favorite local record store that I FINALLY got to ( Read more... )

Is it rainy? Are you bored? My kids had fun with this this week:

Raisins in water
Insert several of alka seltzer tablets....wait.
Raisins go up and down. Watch them dance!!
(for more longer result do vinegar and baking soda)

They also took a 6-12 inch piece of tin foil and 2craft sticks. The challenge was to make a boat ( Read more... )
