Rain, rain go away...


Happy Earth Day everyone! I hope you all find some way to celebrate the day. I, unfortunately, won't be doing too much celebrating. Every event I found to partake in will most likely not happen. Why? Because its raining. The Weather Channel predicts 100% chance of rain all day today, 100% chance tomorrow, 60% on Monday, 30% on Tuesday. We even have flood warnings in some areas due to all the rain expected. If I wasn't going to attend an event, I was at least going to pick up trash somewhere and photograph the process, but I won't be doing that now. I mean, I could do it in my raincoat with my umbrella, but the idea of picking up soggy trash doesn't sound too appealing, plus, it is quite cold out. But don't worry, I will find a way to celebrate, maybe just a little late. In Connecticut, they call April Earth Month (smart people), so there are still events for me to attend next weekend. And I can pick up trash then. And S was disappointed to hear that she wouldn't be able to pick up trash today, she is learning about it in school and from me. So one day this week, I will take her to pick up trash (I won't tell the father beforehand, he won't like it, germs and dirt and all). Not sure what I will do with S2, stroller maybe? I will figure it out. If you can do something today to celebrate our Earth, please do it for me! I will be inside, listening to the rain. I guess its proof that no matter how much we destory the Earth, Mother Nature is still in control.

Great last line. So true. Does working in my yard count? I'm going to rake and mow -- and I will pick up any trash that's in my way.

Of course it counts, your yard has grass and trees, all part of nature.

I picked up garbage near the garages of my apartment building as I walked by. I also cleaned out my car and my garage, and while it didn't improve the world's environment; it improved mine and I needed a little improvement. :) But I am finding stuff to give away and I did find some cans to recycle.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day ...

I Heart The Office!

Image
My sister introduced me to the television show The Office . And I heart it. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd in the past week (I watched all of Season 2 between last night and today). The only problem now is that they are half way through Season 3, so I have missed several episodes and it won't come out on dvd until at least this summer... hmm, problem. But you want to know the one thing I heart even more than The Office ? Jim Halpert/John Krasinski (character/actor). He is on the show and I have a huge crush on him. I know what you are saying, you are 25 years old (turning 26 in 2 1/2 months) and crushes on famous people at this age is a little weird, and usually I would agree. It has been many years since I have had a crush on a star. But Jim/John is so an exception. In fact, if I could find a real life guy here in Minnecrap that looks like Jim/John, makes the same facial expressions, has the same sense of humor and is as nice, sweet and kind as him, so basically exactly like Jim/J...

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go...
