Unofficial Secretirial Work

I recently moved cubbies at my office. Or as I like to call her Jan.

Jan and I have a love hate relationship.

This is my bosses door from inside my cubbie:

This is Jan:
As you can see there isn't a lot of distance between my bosses office and Jan.
And because of this I am now the unofficial secretary to my boss.
No big deal.
it doesn't bother me.
But I get quite a lot of visitors asking "Do you know where she is?"
"When will she be back"
"What is she doing in there?"
"Is she in there with someone?"

I never have the answers to these questions.
Maybe I should start making things up?

It is the new joke within our little cubbie area.

Peace,

Give or Get

This weekend I (actually my friend Bethany was the one who found it) found this little good looking luxury:

It is the Dooney and Bourke Juliet bag. It resembles a laptop bag but is much slouchier. It would be perfect as a carry on or school bag.

For the longest time I have been a fan of LongChamp. I literally wore my bags out when I traveled abroad and all through college. But My one complaint is the interior lining and the puckering that occurs on the outside so easily.

These Dooney and Bourkes seem to be a bit more industrial even though they are made out of Nylon like the longchamps. It had hot pink thick interior lining that I think would really hold up under wear and tear.

Check out this bag and others like it here.

Peace,

Happy Weekend.. or Just thank God the week is over...

Good Golly!
I have had quite a wreck of a week.
A recap:

Monday was, well, a Monday
Tuesday, I can't complain, Lost returned.
Wednesday, This is where things took a turn for the worse, Potter kept me up all night long.
Thursday, When I don't sleep, I am a mess. There were tears involved in my workday, I am sure it freaked people out.
There was rain and a broken umbrella and my fire alarm went off for about 30 min before I ripped it out of the wall.
Friday, well it is just getting started but there don't seem to be any tears in sight.

Tonight I am headed to Nashville to meet my mom and her friend Mrs. Smith.
Thank God.
I need a break from my life.
Even if it is just for the night.

Potter is going to the doggie hotel.
Is it terrible that I need a break from him as well?
Am I a bad doggie mom?

I hope your week was a bit more laid back than mine.

And I hope your weekend is Lovely

Peace,

Lost... How did you feel about it?

I promise this blog will not turn into one dedicated to LOST. But just once every week I may have to post about it.

So what were your thoughts on the episode?

Here are my thoughts and theories:

So the bomb has split us into two parrell times: 2004 pre-plane crash and the present after the bomb so really 2004 and 2007?

in the parrell universe of the non-plane crash Losties, Desmond never had to press the button so do we assume all things concerning the island and our Losties being interconnected has been erased too?

Does Desmond still time travel seeing as how he disappeared from the plane?

Even though the plane didn't crash in the 2004 parallel universe it seems our Losties were still destined to meet each other. Did you notice how all of them interacted with each other on the plane ride or afterwards?

Smoke Monster question answered. ( but now who is the foe Locke really?)

The kidnapped children and missing flight attendant question answered.

Sayid... Jerry Curls has risen...

I am on team Jacob.

Richard used to be in chains....

the temple people annoyed me. I cant handle them bringing in new people for us to keep up with. But im sure they will grow on us as Farraday and crew did.

Where is Christian Shepherd in the 2004 universe?

Locke Lost his knives...

ok that is all I have for now.


back to regular posting tomorrow.


Peace,

LOST...

(My excited lost face!)

Here is what I need to know before this show bites the dust:

What is the point of creepy weird Walt?

When 'supposed' Locke tells Richard to tell 'time traveling Locke' to go and bring everyone back to the Island, does Richard know that the 'supposed' Locke is not really a time traveling real Locke but The Nemesis of Jacob? (does that even make sense?!)

Where the Hell is Claire?! (I think she is dead)

What the hell is Christian Shepherd?!

Why doesn't Richard age?

What is the smoke monster?

Why whenever people get thrown of the Island do they end up in Tunisia?

What is with the four toed statue of Tawaret the goddess of fertility?

Is it significant that when Jacob visited all the Losties before the crash that he touched each one of them?

why and for what reason can Hurley talk to dead people?

Who is this group of people who consists of Llana and the other van people who have been driving around in the van and now have John Locke's body in the crate?

And when this group goes to the cabin and see's that Jacob isn't there and Llana says that the cabin has been used by someone else, what does this mean? How long has the cabin been used by someone else? the whole time our Losties have been on the island? If so does this mean that when we saw Christian and Claire in the cabin they weren't there on Jacobs behalf but on whoever had been using it since he left? What does this mean?

"what lies in the shadow of the statue" "Ille qui nos omnes servabit" (he who will save us all) ?!

When Ben kills Jacob, Jacob whispers to the fake Locke impersonator,"They're coming." WHO?

And WHO is the fake Locke impersonator?!



Oh did I mention I hate Kate?



I also feel like the facts below are quite interesting and should be noted (pulled from lostipedia) These are the kind of details I always notice and think significant!

• This is the first time Jacob’s cabin is seen in daylight.
• This is the third time Sawyer is seen crying. The first time was when he witnessed the death of his parents, the second was when he killed the real Sawyer in the Black Rock.
• Richard Alpert responded to the question "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" in Latin, with "Ille qui nos omnes servabit." This could translate as: "He who will protect/save us all."
  • More accurate translations might be either, "That man who will save us all," or, "That which will save us all," if the noun in question is of the masculine gender. The Latin word ille does not necessarily refer to a person. The enhanced version of this episode says the intended translation is "He who will save us all."
• Jacob physically touches each of the Oceanic 815 survivors he visits in his flashbacks.
  • Kate and Sawyer are touched by Jacob as children.
  • Jack, Locke, Jin, and Sun are all touched several years before Flight 815.
  • Hurley and Sayid are both touched by Jacob after having left the Island.
• The only flashback scene in which Jacob does not appear is the scene featuring Juliet; she is the only one of the flashback characters who would become an Other.
• The things the police officer gives back to Hurley when he gets released from the prison (money, a pen and a candy) are the same ones Jacob gives to Kate, Sawyer and Jack.
• The hieroglyphs on the panels are revealed to document many cultures that lived on the island for thousands of years according to the enhanced episode.

Food Conscious

A lot of you have been asking how my Vegetarian resolution has been going.
it has been really hard.
I am not going to lie,
I have failed on more than one occasion.
But I am still so very conscious of what is going in my body now more than ever.

I talked about how I watched Food Inc.
It really opened my eyes.
I used to be quite political if you can imagine :)
And one of the things I am quite sure of is that small business is the way to go.
Large corporations should not have their hand, or rather, the monopoly on anything from our food to our health care.

It is our life. We have the choice in what we choose to eat. We don't have to have bad choices shoved down our throats. It is our job to be informed about where our food really comes from. How it affects the animals involved, the workers involved and our bodies that are involved.
It is your choice to be informed.

Here are some of the choices I am making.
I try to buy only fruits and vegetables from a Whole Foods or other organic market or from the super market as long as it is marked as organic.
Why?
Because most of our fruits and vegetables are filled with pesticides and hormones that warp vegetable and fruits into veggies and fruits that aren't even real anymore.

I try to stay away from meat other than fish.
I have to admit,
I fail at this on occasion. But at least I am conscious of where I want my meat to come from and how much I consume.
America's obsession with meat is strange and unhealthy.
Try to go without meat in a meal at least 2 times a week.
once you get the swing of that try going more days sans meat.

Also if you eat meat.
KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM!
Labels can be tricky and deceiving.
Do some research before you head to the grocery.
All I did was google 'free range meat' with my area code and supermarkets, farmers markets and organic markets popped up. Easy Peasy!
Again Whole Foods and other organic superstores offer free range meat. But you can also search for local farmers in your area that offer this meat.
(I have placed a link below to a website where you can search for organic food and meat in your area.)

I take an abundance of vitamins.
probably too many.
Every day I drink this:


And take these:


And at night I take a multivitamin.

I also drink a SHIZ ton of water.
(My trusty green water bottle goes with me everywhere.)
I drink no sodas or coffee other than at a restaraunt or a movie on occasion and then it is considered a treat.
I do not drink them with every meal
and I definitely dont drink them randomly throughout the day.
It is water for me.


I am no saint though.
I LOVE junk food.
I mean just the other night I slipped up big time and went through the Sonic drive through!
It has been so hard limiting my intake of crap.
But I am getting better at it.
I try not to keep mass produced food in my pantry and only splurge when I eat out or go to the movies (how do you pass up pop corn?)
I can not go without chocolate.
I used to get after the cookie and cake isle in the super market.
But that mass produced stuff is even worse than the chemically mutated fruits and veggies we are offered.
So to get my chocolate fix whenever I go grocery shopping I by a giant Hershey Dark chocolate bar and will eat 1 or 2 pieces after a meal.
I literally have to have chocolate with every meal.

I also dont drink a lot of alcohol. I dont like alcohol much anyways but I do like a beer every now and then but I only have them when I am out at a bar or at a party.
You have to indulge sometimes.

What I eat on a normal day:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal or some sort of fruit or breakfast bar.
I mix my green superfood with milk and then take down my juice plus for the day.
And on weekends I love omlets!

Lunch:
I usually eat a sandwich.
Either grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly.
Or I will have a salad with feta cheese and craisins. Delicious!

Dinner:
Again I may have a sandwich or I may cook some pasta with some sort of sauce and some veggies. I am trying to cook more... it is slow going.

It is simpler being a single lady I admit.
But there are days that I go out to a restaraunt with friends and then totally goof and I think I am more obsessed with my intake of food than most people, you dont have to think about it so much or as much as I do! It is ok to mess up and not get it right all the time or most of the time. Just start small and to start just begin to be conscious of where your food comes from!



I know a lot of people complain about the exspense of organic food and free range meat. But as Food Inc. basically states, We will have to pay for our cheap food obsession one way or the other. We can stop now, open our eyes, and make better clean choices
Or continue eating fake food and eventually pay with our health, medical bills, and lives.

Again it is a choice.


(here here and here are links to help you take that first step in being conscious)

Putting the new Camera to use

My new camera came.
I think it takes great pictures.
Although I myself, am not really a good photographer.

I broke it out at the dog park.

Taking on his quizzical stance as he scopes out the area

Sniffing

This Great Dane loved Potter but just couldn't keep up with him. I thought they were quite cute together.

But Potter found him a Ginger and threw the Great Dane to the waste side. (see him turning his back on Pots.)

Just a close up of the Muffin

Settling in for a rest after the dog park.


On another note I skyped for the first time ever this weekend.

with my friend McCall.
I really enjoyed it.
You should try it too.
