HAPPY 4/20 EVERYONE!!!

WOOT!!

What Really Grinds My Gears....

I'm guessing that this week is like earth week or whatever. So I've found my new pet peeve: the use of the phrase "going green". Its like the lamest and gayest saying that have come into play these last ten years. Its the ultimate vogue trend right now. Everything is going green, Everyone is saying it and I don't think most of them know what it means.

I'm all out for resource conservation and recycling of most materials. Hell, most of the things I purchase(clothes, dvds, my car, furnishings, home etc) are used. But its just getting ridiculous.  

Vegans: I will never stop eating meat. Domesticated animals are meant for consumption. If we're meant to eat exclusively plant based foods then why is it so hard for Vegans to get adequate nutrients?
Peta: I'll continue to purchase animal products and wear leather shoes. Fur lining is great too.
EPA: Hybrids suck!

That was my "green" rant.

Drought yay...not

So much for having a green lawn. The city has enacted level 2 water restrictions starting May 1st. Any of you with a yard need to be aware that watering is restricted to once a week. Also you may not water between 12pm to 6pm. Ugh the water bill is going to go out the window.

Just when my husband thought he had a green thumb, I'm going to have to dash his dreams.

CAMPING!!!

This weekend we are going camping to Garner State Park for our anniversary. As most of you already know, it is our 10th anniversary. We wanted to do something special, but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I've heard great things about Garner so we're pretty excited. It is located between Junction and Concan. Its slightly further than Lost Maples. From the descriptions it boasts many amenities including: paddle boats, tubing, miniature golf, fishing, hiking and kayaking. The Frio river runs right through the park. Although we've had a bad drought this last year I hope with the current rainfall the river will still look good. I look forward to seeing clear water. We'll be doing some fishing, a little hiking and maybe paddle boating. My boss is an avid outdoorsman, so we won't have to buy hardly a thing. The biggest problem is getting everything in the car. Its going to be a tight fit! Our children will be staying the weekend with my grandmother. They're going to drive her fucking nuts. I'm sure she'll be more than ready for our return on Sunday.


Hopefully, we won't run into any bald bears!


My Top Ten Reasons Why Camping Is Better Than Big City Vacations:


1. Minimal Expenses; the typical campsite rental is $22 a night!
2. Entertainment is limited only by you.
3. Each experience is tailored to you.
4. Family team work creates stronger bonds.
5. Privacy
6. A break from constant noise pollution
7. Disconnect from technology!
8. Terrific view of the nightsky
9. Family Exercise
10. FIRE


Only Con:
NO alcohol is allowed on state parks... :(

Familia

I just initiated contact with my hispanic family. I haven't spoken to anyone on that side in the last 5 years. I'm not sure if he'll respond. Last time I talked to my uncle 7 years ago, I kinda told him to fuck off....We'll see how that goes.

APPALLED

I've been processing work orders turned in by employees and I'm appalled by the number of people who cannot read or write correctly. I also received an application this morning that is just ridiculous. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone part of my generation or younger to not be well written. Now there may be some of you that are practically fly to the rescue of these uneducated individuals. Nowadays schools make extreme efforts and concessions to get students the help they need. If you find yourself a senior in high school and have reading/writing level of a 5th grader it is YOUR FAULT. It doesn't take an enormous amount of money or effort to learn to read. Its not like we're in the late 1800's and people don't have access to education. Reading material overflows from every direction. Literacy advocacy groups are everywhere. Yes, I am a person who measures people's worth by their level of intelligence and effort. UGH!

If you're filling out an application; don't fill it out like you're in special ed.

You've Arrived When....

ROAD TRIP!!

Hello fellow bloggers,

I would like to go on a road trip, I really don't care where.  We can go camping, go to an IMAX, go to Sea World, etc.....  I know everyone has kids to think of, so maybe we can go to like Six Flags or Sea World.  All I know is I need to get out of San Angelo.  Just post anything that comes to mind.  Me; I really don't care where we go.

New Puppy

Hello Ladies and Gentlement,

I will be your host, for now.  Casey is taking a small break (hopefully).

The Perez family is getting a Dachshund.  Any ideas on names?

                                                       

I'd name him, Lucifer.  LOL

 

Anchorman Sequel!

Woot Anchorman Sequel! Anyone have some favorite quotes?

Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast. 
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch. 
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it? 
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart. 
Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident? 
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident. 
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder. 

So, Sam, per your request, here are the pics

Technology FTW!!

This post is bunk but o'wells.....

I ordered a 32GB micro card the other day for my phone and I was completely blown away how small it was for the amount of data it can hold. I still remember using floppies back in the day which only held about 1.5 to 2MB of data. To put it in to perspective, 16,000 floppies is equivalent to one 32GB Micro card that's the size of a thumb nail.....I don't know about you but I'm very aroused by this.  LMFAO

I think technology is greatest thing on Earth, but at the same time, it’s a curse.  Like yin and yang – good and bad.

As you can tell, I'm in a nostalgic mood.

Half A Billion

I am so very pleased with you guys for posting. Its exactly what I was looking for, just your thoughts or rants.

I don't know if yall have looked, but the lotto has climbed to $476 Million. That is almost half a billion dollars! The odds of anyone winning is astronomical; its 1 in 176 Million. But, its a dollar to play. With the grossly inflated economy, we all practically shit a dollar. It has become the new quarter.

If I won half a billion, I would:

1. Take care of my friends and family
2. Pay off our debts and live the high life!
3. Make San Angelo more livable with my nefarious plan to buy out all city council member seats, And I would bring in more relevant businesses, do away with the conservative air. Tell ASU to fuck off.
4. Make San Angelo's water drinkable and fix the lack of water problem.
5. Travel the world
6. Get lots of schooling
7. Buy out Mr. T's the close it down! San Angelo's Elite can suck it!
8. Build and operate an independent theater.
9. Aggressively do away with San Angelo's barrios and hold all Landlords accountable for the condition of their properties. I'd probably be using a lot of eminent domain.
10. Create real comprehensive working social programs. NO hand out!
