I am a self professed geek (though I think a lot of people in my life would agree with it even if I hadn't professed it myself). I enjoy being a geek. Even if I tried I don't think I could be main stream ... it wasn't in the cards from an early age ( Read more... )

I really have been trying to ride my bike to work. Last summer I did it almost every day and it was instrumental in me losing a lot of weight. However, at the moment I don't know what karma has been coming back to bite me in the rear - but I can't seem to be able to keep my tires inflated ( Read more... )

I have become an avid watcher of crime dramas - especially Law & Order (I blame my father and best friend). However, when I watch them I can't help but realize what an absolutely horrible witness I would make. I don't think I could describe the face of someone at work (where I have been for two years) well enough for a sketch artist let alone ( Read more... )

I never stopped being amused by how much music can control my moods. I can be having the worst day ever and listen to a snappy song and be dancing around my house singing at the top of my lungs minutes later. I think this is one of the reasons my mood is so much better when I ride my bike to work - it gives me a healthy dose of bouncy music ( Read more... )

It is hard not to love the Saints when you live in NOLA. Their fans are rabid and being a browncoat and trekkie - I can empathize with rabid fans. I love that I was able to live here and see the joy upon the winning of the game. I fit right in because when I get overly emotional (ANY emotion really) I cry - and there is a great tradition of ( Read more... )

So it has been a while since I posted about my six-legged friends. I am always baffled when people don't understand why I love what I do. What could be more fun than working with animals ( Read more... )

Okay my parents got me a kindle for this past Christmas. I was conflicted on ereaders but now I am thoroughly obsessed with the damn thing. It is AWESOME! I love the fact that I don't have to hold books open but can simply lean it against my leg or pillow (yep I am lazy) and that I can be capricious in my reading choices and flit from book to ( Read more... )

Last year I decided to attempt to lose some weight and get into shape. After one year I have lost 40 pounds! I still have a way to go but I am okay with my progress. I am going to weight watchers and their favorite question when you reach any sort of changes has it made in your life. Oddly - I don't feel like I am that much more capable of ( Read more... )

Just because everyone I call follows my description with the same question - no, the levees are fine - it has just been raining all day ( Read more... )

Mulberryfarms.com is a website that caries lots of live "feeder" insects (insects that you feed to other animals). We use it at my workplace to order hornworms, silkworms, and mealworms. They recently updated their website so that now you can have a permanent profile that keeps all of your information. The new site is great - it looks very ( Read more... )
