I was feeling great until about 3:00 today. First of all because the work week went by pretty quickly for me, and thats always good. I hate it when it drags. Then, I got to celebrate the coming of the weekend with one really extraordinaire guy and that's always great. Then, today I did a little something fun, went to an apple orchard, got lost in a corn maze, bought some homemade doughnuts sprinkled with cinnamon, a pumpkin pie I cant wait to have for dessert after the steak dinner I'm making, a couple of slices of apple pie, apples fresh from the backyard, and sausages sauteed with peppers, and then... had to cut the day short and hurry back home cause I started to feel a bad sore throat and headache coming on. No fair! I hope it goes away by Sunday night, I'll just make sure to do lots of warm salt water gargles, that always works. It still freaking sucks!

Daylight Saving Time!

I guess one- Im on a roll this morning with my blogs, and two- Im feeling a tad bit intellectual today (must be the headache... or the rain). I was scrolling through my MSN news and found some interesting facts about the daylight saving time (remember we gotta change our clocks tonight), and thought I'd post what I found because I like to learn little facts like this. The best way I learn, aside from "hands-on", is researching and writing it down. I thought I'd share this for anyone who might find it interesting as well.
NOTE: this is not plagiarism. Im not taking credit for the facts Im going to share. I already said, I found it all in an article in MSN.
Daylight Saving Time: Spring Forward, Fall Back! *The idea of daylight saving was first mentioned by Benjamin Franklin in a whimsical essay in 1784.
*It was advocated seriously by a British builder, William Willett , in 1907.
*Daylight saving has been used in the U.S. and many European countries since World War I, when the system was adopted in order to conserve fuel needed to produce electric power.
*During peacetime, daylight saving was a subject of controversy in the U.S. particularly by farmers who usually worked schedules determined by the sunrise/set and conducting business on a different time basis was an inconvenience to them.
*Railroad, bus, and plane scheduling was affected by time inconsistencies among various cities and states.
*During World War II the U.S. Congress passed a law putting the entire country on “war time,” setting the clocks one hour ahead of std. time for the duration of the war.
*In 1966, The Uniform Time Act, enacted by the U.S. Congress, established a system of uniform daylight-saving time (within each time zone) throughout the US and its possessions, exempting only those states in which the state legislature voted to keep the entire state on std. time.
*Daylight saving is not observed in Hawaii, Arizona, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Saskatchewan <--Where the hell is that???
Here are the really neat facts…
*Until the year 2007, daylight-saving time begins at 2 AM on the first Sunday of April and ends at 2 AM on the last Sunday of October In most of the US and Canada).
*Beginning in 2007, daylight-saving time will start on the second Sunday of March and will end on the first Sunday of November. Intended to promote energy conservation starting daylight saving 3 wks earlier and ending 1 week later, the change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. (Hmmm, I wonder if G. Bush’s refusal to end the war has anything to do with that?)
So now that you know a little bit more on the history of this subject, remember… get your ass up tonight at 2 AM and change your clocks!

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.
The first man was an Engineer,
the second man was an Accountant,
the third man was a Chemist,,,,,,and
the fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do your stuff."
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square,and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his cat could do better.
He called his cat and said,"Spreadsheet, do your stuff."
Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies....... Everyone agreed that was good.
But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said,,,,,"Measure, do your stuff."
Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk,, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.
Everyone agreed that was pretty good.
Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, "What can your cat do?"
The Government Employee called his cat and said,,,,,"CoffeeBreak,,,,do your stuff."
CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet,,,,,,,,,,,
ate the cookies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
drank the milk,,,,,,,,,
shit on the paper,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
screwed the other three cats,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
claimed he injured his back while doing so,,,,,,,
filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions,,,
put in for Workers Compensation...............and
went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.........

So, on my way back home last night (Monday) I decided that I've changed my mind about the superpower I always thought I'd like to have. Up until last night, I always thought it'd be pretty neat to have the ability to travel through time and be able to go back to the age of say, The Medieval Period, or the Victorian Era, or even the rock & roll age of the 50's with the poodle skirts and soda shakes. Driving my Monday night commute down 84E last night got me thinking... the ability to travel through time might not be all that's cracked up to be. I remember a tv series I used to watch a loooooong time ago where this group of people had a time machine and would constantly visit different time periods. If memory serves me correct, I think the show was called, "Voyagers." I remember they'd always end up in some kind of mess when ever they went to another time period. They either ended up in the middle of a war period, or the dinosaur age or something crazy like that and have to try to get back home in one piece. The ability that I need and would serve me better is the ability to have night/X-ray vision. Yes, thats right, I need the power to see in the dark, through trees and bushes at very far distances. Why this power you ask? Well, because that way I can drive back home at 9:30/10:00 at night at a good 80-85-90 mph without having to worry about some cop hiding behind a bush just waiting for me to zoom by so he can slap a speeding ticket on me. I must say, I have never gotten a speeding ticket in my whole "driving" life. I did get one ticket about 10 yrs ago and it was a stupid mistake I made to not realize there was a "no left turn" sign that went up at a certain time of day. I think its just been pure luck I've never gotten a speeding ticket because I've caught myself in the past doing over 90. But it just sucks having to look over my shoulder all the time, approaching bushes in the highway with extra caution ( LOL ), etc... It would be such a convenience to just be able to have an 80 mph speed limit, at least at night time, when it might be safer without a lot of morons on the road, so that I can get back home as soon as possible before falling asleep behind the wheel which, if you ask me, its a lot more dangerous. Can you see my point of view on that? My whole reasoning behind it?
Last night I came very close to a ticket, wwweeeewwh! Im driving down 84 East doing only 71, speed limit was 65, so thats not bad, thats pretty reasonable. Im approaching a car on the right lane and I get ready to step on the gas so I can pass him. Let me just say, I might not have night vision, but I do have pretty damn good eye sight that Im thankful for, because the car I was about to leave eating my dust in the dark was a cop car, LMAO!!! He was just cruising down the freeway, without a care in the world, taking his sweet time, probably looking for a bush he could park behind and sip his coffee (I'll leave the donut jokes out), maybe nap, or scare people like me into going the stupid 65 mph and not a mile more. So I put my cruise control at exactly 65 and drove like that for about a mile, he disappeared, and my cruise control went off. I wonder if he would give someone a ticket for going an extra 5 miles over the limit? But you know, its just really annoying and inconvenient to have to be "on the lookout" all the time. If I had my super duper night vision/x-ray power, I could spot my friend 2 miles down the road easy behind the tree and maybe cut my 30 minute drive to at least 20.
I think for certain drivers, those with a good driving record... no accidents, etc.... it should be a priviledge granted to us. Because I think I have pretty good quick reflexes, and Im always cautious of those (morons) driving next to, in front of, or behind me. Now I know its probably one of those things where, "you give 'em an inch and they take a mile." So if the speed limit is 25, ppl will do 45, if its 65, ppl will do 80, so if it was 80, some might be doing 90-95, and then it becomes dangerous.But at least, just at night, the limit should go up a couple of extra (20) mph
Now watch me get a ticket tomorrow...

I have more I wanted to write tonight on this subject, but seeing how late it is and how I could barely keep my eyes open for the better part of the day today, and getting home tonight past 10:00, I'll have to come back tomorrow to write my 2 cents. But I'll just say this.....
God damn speed limit should be 80, atleast at night when there's hardly any traffic.
Good night!

A walk in the park

I'm glad I got to do a little bit of walking today in a near by park (not the one I was going to for jogging). It was a perfect fall day, a bit on the cool side, but a nice, near 60 degrees, and most importantly, NO RAIN! The park looked beautiful with lots of orange leaves spread evenly on the ground, and still plenty or red, orange, and yellow leaves on the trees. How calm and peaceful it was. I was able to take a couple of pictures, but hopefully I'll be able to go back to finish the film sometime soon. I wish there was a park around here that would look like the one of the photo I've posted for this blog, how breath taking and absolutely beautiful. I wouldnt want to leave the place. All I'd need is a to go horseback riding through the trees and make the experience completely. Well... that and my sexy, hazel eyed man of course ( smile )

Taking pictures of the beautiful, colorful trees before all the leaves fall out
Baking some halloween cupcakes with chocolate frosting and halloween sprinkles I bought
Making a nice homecooked dinner today
More soda shakes with a certain someone
A walk through the woods I havent done yet
Being able to wash my hands of certain things in my life
Curling up to a really good movie I havent seen in a while, or havent seen yet
A motorcycle ride I havent been able to do yet, and it might be getting too cold to do now
Getting at least 3 or 4 days of jogging during the week
Picking out something really sexy to wear for a certain someone
Getting some studying done
Going rollerskating again
Going to a carnival
Cleaning out my closet, putting away all the summer clothes and taking out the winter, ugh!
My parents
And last, but certainly not least (I always like to save the best for last)... A certain handsome someone with beautiful blonde hair and hazel eyes, and sexy lips that can deliver incredible kisses.
What are you thinking about today?

Ways to stay young, healthy, and happy!

We should always try to find ways we can stay young, healthy, and happy. Any little thing, no matter how miniscule it may seem, always helps. From taking the time to do something really enjoyable that helps you get your mind off the daily hectic schedule of life, to spending time with a good friend, a sibling, your pet. Eating healthy, taking your vitamins, exercise, spending time alone, pampering yourself, or whatever it may be. I personally enjoy alone time to unwind and re-charge. Also try to eat healthy, eat my oranges and vitamin every day, and go jogging whenever I can; one, to keep the lbs off my ass! and two, because it helps me de-stress. And then after all that, I like to treat myself to the company of a really great and fun someone!
Here are a couple of rules to live by, that I personally believe and agree with are keys to living a more positive life...
1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times! Well, I might not try EVERYTHING twice, but if I liked it the first time, I'll try it again, and again, and again
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches Completely agree with this. Life already throws enough your way to deal with. EVERYBODY has a monkey on their back. My motto is: deal with it, make the best out of the situation, work hard at fixing it, and take it a day at a time. You dont need someone else bringing you down with their negative thinking.
3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's! Absolutely. I like learning little facts. About science especially: biology, space, the human body. Crossword puzzles are supposed to keep the mind sharp as well. Also certain foods like blueberries and such... something about contributing to the oxygen level that goes to your brain (I read somewhere).
4. Enjoy the simple things: Like a nice Sunday breakfast!! or a warm cup of coffee early Saturday morning. A walk trough the leaves in the fall. A long drive to nowhere and no hurry to get there. Icecream! a walk in the woods and climbing trees. Playing with your in the park, they help keep you young when you do. Collecting shells at the beach. All the fun stuff you use to do as a , remember that?
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER. Yes, I enjoy spending time with mine. Nothing beats having someone you can spend time with and just be silly, laugh, crack jokes at the stupidest things. Make comments on anything, and just be you. Its so refreshing! and very much needed.
6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive. I have endured, I have cried, and finally decided I had to move on. Let me tell you, the day I decided that, a weight lifted off my shoulders.
7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. My family is one, unfortunately they're far from me My are another. My pass times. Clothes, shoes, and jewelery, ha ha!!
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. I feel very strongly about this one. Good health is the most important thing you can have. Dont wait 'till your sick to try to fix your health. Dont wait till you end up with a heartattack or high cholesterol to cut back on the donuts and all the fatty foods. Or diabetes, to cut back on the sweets.(I know some illnesses are hereditary though, unfortunately) Exercise, eat right, take your medicine like the doctor ordered, etc... I personally know someone who's had health issues since I can remember (hereditary). Believe me, it fucken sucks to have to be in their shoes. Because of this one person alone, I cherish my health every day.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is. I think if you've made mistakes, you should take it as a learning experience, to grow and make you stronger and wiser, and a better person next time around. Learn from that and move on.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. I always tell my parents, siblings, and every chance I talk to them, every day. Especially as your parents get older. My father (63 yrs old) just lost his father. I've been thinking of how lucky he was to have his father around for so long. My dad at his age is still very strong and healthy and I hope he can hang around for another 20-30 yrs, but we never know. From now to next year... a million unplanned events can happen in our lives!
11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time. I have to admit, this one's difficult for me. It takes me a while to forgive. And if I say I do, I dont ever forget, so is that really forgiving? But I refuse to drown on things past.

So I come home today for lunch as I often do. What greets me as soon as I walk in the door? The kitchen garbage all over the floor, thats what! shredded napkins, paper plates, old coffee powder form this morning (whatever you call it?). All the little mut's doing. She's taken to messing with the garbage now, and it was all closed up this morning when I left, I didnt think her tiny self xould reach the top and get to it, apparently she found a way. Let me just say... from the very beginning this came into the house completely without my consent or blessing. What did I always say?? "WE CANT HAVE A RIGHT NOW!!!" "ITS TOO MUCH WORK!!!" "ITS TOO MUCH MONEY!!!" "I HAVE NO TIME FOR A DOG!!!" "LETS WAIT A COUPLE OF YRS!!!" "HOW ABOUT A FISH???" no, never mind that too, I have no time to clean out fish tanks either. Low and behold, in comes the one cold evening in March. WTF!!!! Remember what I said about too much MONEY?? Yeah, from the moment she was bought, to all the vet visits, including an ER VET visit at 11:30 pm one time, to everything in between, she's costed an easy $3000 bucks. You know what I can do with $3000 dollars?!?! I've lost some nice shoes to this dog. She's distroyed one of my cactus and has moved on to the last one I have. Little by little she's been chewing off the leaves. Its a soft cactus... no needles. And now the latest... garbage all over the floor when I come home. I'm ready to throw her out AND HER OWNER!
She's the cutest thing, a little min pinscher. She can be adorable, sweet, playful, silly, fast as a bullet, and she can be a brat and a little bitch. Who wants a min pin for $4000? (gotta get my $ back plus a profit) comes with an annoying owner.

Hell scientifically explained

For those of us who can appreciate a little science, I found this explenation by a student pretty damn cool so I want to share... Hell explained by a chemistry student:
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law: (Gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell,it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Susan during my freshman year that, "It will be cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true,and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct.....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Susan kept shouting "Oh my god!"
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"
