On Moving

I'm moving my blog to wordpress. I've enjoyed my stay but have found out that Vox is closing their website. Even though I moved from there, my blog is still there and I'm not ready to give up that little part of myself. So I'm going to import both blogs if allowed *crossed fingers* and start off with just one blog under plusonehuman.wordpress.com thank you for your visits, even with my sporadic posting. I wish blogger well and it's been fun!

Accomplished!

I'm feeling pretty accomplished! So far today I have paid two bills and washed the dog. Yeah not a huge deal for many uber martha-esque types but a pretty good day for me considering it's hot outside and I didn't go to bed till 4 am this morning! Now to take a quick shower, grab a can opener (is for lunch!) and off to work!

1st Toy Society Drop, On Clean House, On Overly Chocolatey Brownies!

* My first Toy Society Drop is ready but I have to get a picture of it first as my camera phone is messing up. I'm planning on hijacking Cody's and using blue tooth to upload and drop it somewhere tomorrow! I'm very excited and will probably edit this post to add the picture!

* I have been cleaning my home with mostly environmentally safe cleaners (Vinegar, Baking Soda, Lemon Juice, Castile Soap) with a little dish soap and using up the remainder laundry soap before I make my own. Explaining this to Cody is similar to talking to a brick wall. He keeps bringing home Pine Sol, Anti bacterial chemical laden cleaners only to leave them still in their bags around our home! Vinegar with some water is already anti bacterial and the smell fades to just clean instead of fruity, pine-y, or flowery. Eh, seems more explaining is in order. I'm also thinking of just putting Vinegar in with water to shampoo my carpet, will it work? Maybe Castile soap and Vinegar. Hmmmm!

* Cody made brownies yesterday with way too much Chocolate chips included...I have added a banana to wrap in the overly chocolaty goodness and it cuts it pretty well!

Not much else going on, just getting ready for work! Have a blessed day!

Super cute web comic, Cleaning up and catching up,

* I know it's been a while since I've blogged but hopefully I'm catching up to all the craziness that has occurred!
New Job is awesome but since I'm offered overtime, I take it. Which leave much less time for blogging, cleaning, knitting, sewing and such! I am evening out now though where I'm on a semi permanent schedule at least that's how it's printed up now for the next month, at least!

* I found a super cute web comic by accident. I love it! it's Kawaii Not and I see a bunch of amigurumi's knitted up in the future using idea's from http://www.kawaiinot.com
I also love cyanide and happiness. http://www.explosm.net/comics/2076/

* Well hopefully, I'll be back to keeping up a blog soon! 

Yay

Happy Earth Day!, New job, Netflix

    * I must confess. I didn't celebrate Earth Day by doing anything really great for the earth exactly. I have decided to cut up old shirts and make them into crochet string market bags but I haven't started them. I did horrible stuff for the earth as go through and throw away mail, shred paper and trash it, mow the lawn, kill many mosquitoes! I ate really crappy food for me and did laundry (not earth friendly). I have all my lights on in the house right now. I guess I'm a bad tenant this year.
      I usually try to do good things year round though. I recycle, keep my house temp high in the summer and low in the winter, I use vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and elbow grease to clean. I wash my car at home with a bit of liquid dish soap and water opposed to mean green and all the chemicals that entails. I do not poison my lawn. I have a wide variety of weeds growing and I call it grass! Those weeds keep growing back for a reason! If they do pop up on my rocky areas I kill them with boiling water. I am growing my own tomatoes, I have a compost (eh mostly just worm food) pile- I won't me using it for gardening this year. I am planning on burying it and starting over in a new spot. I do not usually buy new, I try to buy used or use what I have to make due! I am trying to go mostly vegetarian again.
     So I guess I use earth day to consume since I try to keep my consumption low the rest of the year. I know I should do more, but it's a good start!
      * I have a career now! I'm very excited! I will work in the Central Sterile Processing Department of Barnes Jewish Hospital. There are a ton of perks including tuition reimbursement, gym membership discounts, metro discounts, great health, dental, and vision plans, adoption aiding program, and childcare facilities....Really Awesome and I'm super excited to join a team that provides all the surgical utensils to the world renowned doctors of Barnes Jewish!!! yay!! Plus scrubs are provided and washed at the hospital, I know it's for health and disease reasons but really...I don't have to do laundry for work or buy a uniform??? How Cool! My sister pointed out that working there I may be accepted to attend Wash U. The number 12 college in the nation according to National Universities Ranking. Acceptance rate is only 21.7% so it would take a miracle to get in, but still, it's amazing.
     *We have streaming video on the Xbox 360 from Netflix. I save a ton of money and time using it. I love it. Enough said!

I've got a golden ticket.....!

In lieu of the fancy Easter baskets for friends and family. I've decided to give something special! Willy Wonka Chocolate Bars complete with the chance to win a golden ticket ! The prize is a trip around the world with with 3 friends/family and $12,500 spending money. How great it is to actually live in a world where a Wonka Bar is actually sold! The original score soars through my brain every time I think of the chocolate bar. "I've got a golden twinkle in my eye."
