The Blue Period

Here I sit at my computer. Not really knowing what to write about. I (we) really want to buy a house. To have a place to call home that we can what we want to do with it. I am tired of renting, renting sucks the sour grape. I'm tired of living in the "pink" house. And yes it is pink, no joking about. Imagine Pepto-bismol on a 2 story 1100 square foot house. Not a pretty sight. So I digress. I have decided to change my layout to blue. I am going to call this the blue period of my blogging adventure.

I don't read many blogs anymore. I don't even keep up with my families blogs very often. (Sorry Tim & Steph) Delilah will ask me if I have read such and such on such and such's blog. I'm always like, "Huh, nope" Good story by the way Tim, about the rabbit.

So, I guess this is all I have for the day. If your lucky I might post sooner than 30 days next time.

Later.

A Week in Review

It has been an interesting week and a quick one at that. Avery is doing well. She is getting into a good schedule and sleeping good at night. Not that her night schedule effects me to much since I can't feed her. I'm not quite equipped for that, thank goodness. Delilah and I had some intense fellowship earlier this week, I could just blame it on her hormones being whacked out, but that wouldn't be very accurate it was more me than anything else. Yesterday was Avery's one week check up afterwords we stopped by my work to show her off to everyone, when we got there everyone was at a retirement party so we just went their and showed her off. She slept through the whole lunch it was great.
If you read Delilah's blog you already know that I'm planning on heading into the office. At this point I plan on working half days. Work said I could have two weeks off but I want to get back into it so I'm not completely out of the loop.
Other than that everything is going well for the first week of Avery's life.

-Fly on.

Another Incovenient Truth: Al Gore, the Holllywood Elite and Global Warming

I've been thinking about the global warming and "famous" people for a while and this past Sunday I began thinking through some ideas I could post. Just a warning, while reading this post please don't think I stand on either side of global warming, I am just trying to make a point.

Al Gore has a global warming agenda as documented by "An Inconvenient Truth" and the Hollywood elite are riding his coat tails and would love for him to run for president.

Let me ask this question. What are you doing personally to fight against global warming?

You can talk all you want about it but lets take a look at a few things.........

1. What about your house? I'm sure it's a large multi-million dollar property. How many square feet is it? I'm sure you have a/c to cool your house during the summer and surely you heat it during the winter months if you live somewhere it is cooler. The larger of house you live in the more energy it takes to either heat or cool it. How does that contribute to your global warming cause?

2. What about flying to your engagements? I'm sure you own your own private jet where only a few people fly on it with you? Is it really less pollution per person to fly in your own jet compared to a commercial airline?

3. What kind of car do you drive? Do you drive a hybrid or a vehicle with high mpg? Or do you drive a gas guzzler?

4. Do you use disposable or cloth diapers for your babies?

5. Do you really take the time to recycle? Or is throwing everything into one trash bin much easier for you?

6. What about drying laundry? Dryer or clothesline?

My list could go on for a while, I hope you are getting the point I'm trying to make. Why should I listen to anyone about global warming when they themselves aren't doing anything practical on an individual level to combat it. The people that get the most airtime speaking out about global warming have the best resource to do something about it on an individual level. They have the money to spend on eco-friendly products. Solar panels, hybrids, etc, etc, in general the things that cost to much for the average consumer.

In closing, it is easy to talk the talk, but can you walk it.
