Everything and Anything

Last night in class we were trying to figure out what I could do for my teaching speech. It has to be business related and I hate it since it’s hard for me to come up with anything. So my friends were trying to help me and one asked what I liked to do. I told her nothing. I really am not passionate about anything anymore. I think it’s because I’m depressed and hate my life. Things will change soon I hope, once I move and am able to be around better people. Anyway, the other girl looked at me and said “your boring! But I mean that in the nicest way.” We all laughed and I said “I know I am” This is very true. I don’t go out, I don’t do much and most of the time the only people I talk to are online and thats not often.

I was thinking about this today and I’m wondering if that is why I don’t have a lot of comments on my blog. Is my blog boring? Could I improve it in some way to make it more interesting to everyone. I have thought about writing a short story one post at a time. Maybe I’ll do that this summer as a feature. Other then that I have no ideas. Anyway I want to ask you, my readers, is my blog boring or is it okay the way it is and I’m crazy?

I have decided that coffee is my new best friend I have been drinking it all day and I love it. Okay so I went a little overboard, but I’m awake and I’ve gotten a few things done today. Anyway I wanted to tell you all about this coffee site SanMarcoCoffee.com they have a good selection of coffee and they even have gift baskets. Who knows maybe I’ll go so coffee crazy that I’ll order one just to give out to one of you or I may just hand out a gift card for them instead. You should check back just to see if I do.

You know if you spend $150 or more you get free shipping. I like that idea, but I don’t have $150 to spend, I’m sure I could find some people who would want to order too. Combine our orders and get free shipping, that sounds fun. Yes I am on a coffee high, forgive me for my crazy ideas.

I have been so tired the last 2 days that I was not able to do much of anything. I felt horrible the last 2 weeks and last night I finally got sleep. That nice hard sleep that makes you feel like you slept for 4 days. So I’m thinking that some of my problem was just that I was not feeling well. Of course this could change later today so I’m going to try to do as much as I can this morning.

Last night on the 2 hour drive home I kept myself awake with coffee and music. Now I’m spending the morning trying to figure out who sung some songs that I heard on the radio. I really wish that they would tell you who sings them more. I heard the same one on 3 different stations last night and no one told me who sung it. Luckily I’m pretty good at figuring this stuff out.

I was talking to a guy in my class the other day about hair loss. He is about 30-40 and is starting to lose his hair. He figured there really is not much he can do to change that fact. In his mind it’s just part of aging. But he’s also newly single as his wife left him for someone else and he has noticed that many women think he’s older and won’t give him the time of day.

I felt bad for him. I know what he feels like as I a women have been losing my hair since I was 12. I wear a wig and day to day it’s not a big deal. But many men that I have tried to date have been turned off by this fact or just can’t deal with it. One even told me if it was because of cancer he would be okay because he could explain it to his friends.

Anyway I told this guy to check online and compare hair loss products. One little known one, at least to me is Procerin. I heard about this a few weeks ago but forgot to check it out then. Now I have been reminded and I think it could help this guy out. The best part is it’s all natural and a pill. I know many people who don’t want to deal with all the gel and cream stuff that is out there. I know I hated using it when I tried it.

yesterday I had class, we are working on a group project and I thought it was going well. One of the girls in the group is getting upset because we are not done and she thinks that because we are not almost done that we are behind and it’s not going to be done or done well. I’m not worried about it, but I think that is because I am pretty much done with what I need to do. Now I’m working on our model that I had hoped would be done last week. It wasn’t and I don’t care anymore. I can’t change it so I’m not going to stress over it.

I think these problems are just the reason that schools do group work. Even on a college level. You have to learn how to work with people and get the job done. This girl is a nice person she just wants everything perfect. Eventually she will learn it will almost never happen that way. Something will go wrong. I know for her a big part of it is that she wants to keep her GPA up. I gave up on that after my dad died and I couldn’t get some of the work done for my classes in time for the end of the term 2 weeks later. Apparently Baker Collage doesn’t think that a parent dying is a good reason to give an incomplete. Anyway I think this is a good learning experience for everyone and I’m happy that they had a class like this.

I have been to a few rodeos in my life. I love going to them as they are always full of excitement and fun things to do. I have also met people there that are the strangest, but most interesting people ever. One rodeo I have not been able to get to yet is the NFR or National Finals Rodeo. This is the event to be at and I have heard people talk about how much fun it is to go to. I hear stories about how exciting it was to see this person win or that person win. I was offered National Finals Rodeo tickets once, but I turned them down as I couldn’t afford to get their.

Here’s the kicker, it’s in Las Vegas. Yes the same city I have been saying I want to go to for the last few months. It’s a ten day event that would take up a lot of my Vegas time, but it would be worth it if I can get out there. I have always had a huge fascination with cowboys and horses, I’m not sure why but I do. I’ve also always wanted a ranch and to have a son that would compete in Rodeos. I know wishful thinking considering I still even after living on a ranch for 6 months don’t know a thing about raising horses, my cousin does though so I think I could get her to help out.

I was reading today that more and more people are going green with their weddings. I love this idea and I had planned on doing the same if I ever get married. As I was reading I thought I wonder how you could go green at a wedding. I thought of a few things that I wanted to share with you. If you have any other tips feel free to share them also.

One that is almost a given is to get a horse and carriage for your ride away from the church. Plan the reception at a close location and it should be an easy trip. You can also encourage people to car pool to the wedding.

Use recycled paper for everything, invitations, menus, programs and anything else you use.

Throw bird seed instead of rice.

Have the wedding outside so you can reduce your energy use.

Buy locally grown flowers or pick your own and have a crafty person put them together for you.

buy all organic, the dress, the food and more, but don’t worry about organic if it’s all locally grown and produced. If you can get both go for it.

Have the reception outside and light it with LED lights.

Give out LED or Florescent lights as wedding favors along with a list of things people can do to help save the environment.

Thats my list what can you think of?

While my mom was in the hospital my brother managed to kill the bird. Okay so I didn’t help any either as I should have checked on it too, but I was very busy running around. I thought about getting her a new one for mothers day, but I think maybe I’ll wait until I move out so that my cat doesn’t try to kill it. She got along great with the last one they even played together, but most birds she just wants to chase and kill.

The other reason I think I may wait is that I want to get her a new cage. She needs one that is easier to clean as she is getting older and won’t be able to pick it up to clean it. YCA Cages has a good selection and I may order one from them once it’s time to do so. I really want one that is lighter for her. I’m sure I can find something that will blend with the decor of the home and be easy to clean. Yes it has to go with her furniture I am an interior designer after all and I can’t have a bird cage that doesn’t go with the decor!
