How Green are you?

This will quite a random post with additions when I think of them.
Maybe a quiz then some of my own musings.. But this has recently become an obsession of mine.

Two Quizzes, Sorry you have to follow the links because I'm not blog smart enough to transfer them right here. The first is more for Teens, and the second from National Geographic
Quiz #1
Quiz#2
PS I scored embarrsingly low on the top quiz.
Which I will post after you take the quiz and comment with your scores.

I know people are quite fanatic about this issue, I'm not one of those people. Yet.
I don't plan on becoming one, but I do plan on becoming as green as I can stand to protect what's left of God's Green Earth while I am here. I know it wont' be around forever.
But I do need to be a good steward of what I've been given.

For a special treat a"Dorky" green photo of me..




And a more princess looking photo :)------->

Sadness (more ranting and raving)

PLEASE SKIP
if you don't want to hear the realness
and complaining of one overtired head.

So the new year has started with the news of my one of my dad's brothers passing away. If everyone could keep my dad and his family in their prayers, not a lot of the extended family has Christian beliefs, but I pray God can send people to comfort my Aunt and Cousins..
He had lived a good life and was snowmobiling when it happened, my mom made the comment he probably would have said something like "Well might as well go doing something I love"

Everything time I think about, I just burst into tears. My Empathy button is working over time right now. I'm working on my second sleepless-ness night in a row. But I find that I am so much more attuned to God's voice when I am tired.

Oh bother, I think my keyboard pounding disturbed my Husband.
Alright, well he hasn't gotten up yet, that's a good sign. Sometimes I feel so mean because I toss and turn in bed and then get up and be noisy on the computer (watching you tube with no headset) or typing.. We only have 2 connected rooms so I have no where to escape too. Well I could go downstairs but then I would wake up my parents probably. (We live in a connected apartment)

Moving on.
(PS I feel like I've moved on to the raving part of ranting and raving)

I am sorry for everyone who reads this blog and thinks.

• She has no life
• She is such a complaining baby
• Why cant she be more cheery like all her friends blogs.

But You know what I've realized. This is my BLOG!!!!
Oh yeah and I need to write to blow off steam, so I'm trying to not spill my e-guts everywhere. But I've come to the point, when I have to say what I am thinking and not care what anyone thinks accept my Saviour.



I think I want Talk Therapy.
Click on the link for the explanation I found.

ONE HOUR LATER:
After chatting with a dear friend and reading through postsecret forums, I have been to the other side of emotion, and now have a headache.
I was so thankful for a friend who couldn't sleep too, because she helped list all things I want to discuss with my boss at work tomorrow. The important things that I shouldn't just suck up and accept.

1. I want a raise if I deserve it
2. I need more challenging tasks to b/c I am getting bored and wasting my precious time sitting at work. When I feel like if I worked 4-6 hours a day I would be more productive, and I'm used to a totally diff work environ. Either give it your all, or go home :)
3. I would rather trade jobs with the car wash girl who gets .50 cents less, and we've discussed and she's happy with the trade. (would that be crazy to ask?)
4. I really would like to be a salesperson... at least I would like to try.
5. I WANT Mondays off (when I took the job I thought I that was for sure thing)
6. Oh yeah, and we are hoping to move!! so either way you might need to look for someone else before the years up.
   

So what do y'all think?
PS if you know my boss, please don't direct him to this post. I would rather tell him in person because that's only fair for both of us. Oh and I'm not editing this post tonight. But I might after I have some sleep..
Thanks.

I am feeling.... (pity post)

• minimalistic - I want to sort through my clothes and pack two boxes. One-Small but want to fit. Two - Doesn't fit nicely but I love it to death. Then hang everything else up.
  
• un-organized - Two PL shows next week, and I have no idea which new and cool products I should bring, plus I want to redo my show presentation, and I don't have my PL manual.
  
• swallowed up - owing money.
  
• bored - my real job is driving me crazy.
  
• run down - my immune system just can't catch up with itself
  
• un beautiful - can't get rid of a few pounds, hate that I can't just be happy with who I am.
  
• under appreciated - wish I was doing something that I could fully spread my wings out in, and show that I can do it!
  
• INSOMNIA - The reason I'm posting at 1:30 in the morning.

I really need to start taking an hour to wind down for bed, because I get all wound up and then I can't sleep. I though maybe I was over this, but nope!!
Plus I started watching something on YouTube which was very thought provoking.
It's an hour long and I haven't finished the whole thing yet, but the first part was really good.
Do set sometime aside and give it a listen. It has the power to change your life :D (uhoh must stop now, I am reminding myself of a pastor I know) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuabITeO4l8

BTW, per the note at the top. Yes this is a pity post, no I'm not asking or looking for it. I'm just saying it so it's out there. My five min complaining rule. You have five, say everything you can then stop and give it all to God.

Some 2008 resolutions (I rarely actually make these, because then I can't break them)

1. To live greener. (www.greenasathistle.com)
   
2. To eat right for my blood type, or just plan healthier.
3. Take one course from the Alive Academy.
4. Lose 20 lbs.
5. Become a better wife, daughter of the king.
6. Rid myself of everything I don't need/use regularly. (Downsize, as Husband would say)

Well I think I will stop there because I might start writing things I will never get around to doing.
