• Too many of my co-workers have been spending too much of their time in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices lately. That means that I have been spending too much time visiting or sending them cards too.
• Ferrets should not chew on their paws. Ever.
• In less than 24 hours I will have a different hair style. Sweet.
• Late night commitments are over for the academic year. Not relly sure where the year went.
• Not only have I become addicted to Agatha Christie books, I have become obsessed with James Bond. Well, mainly the new James Bond. Still, I kinda feel like I should be either in my 80s or in the 1920s. Not sure which would be better.
• Seriously. I need to restock the house with food and other goods as my cupboards are almost dry.
• I enjoy procrastinating. It is fun.
• Off to brave the 50% chance of rain for another meeting. Later.

• Saving electricity by not turning on my computer at work. (Although, this may not save my employment status.)
• Recycle paper. All paper. I wonder if the housekeeping staff will notice full reams of paper in the recycling bin?
• Only drinking sustainable liquids. Such as beer, wine and other liquids fermented from plant life.
• Breaking for animals.
• Wagging my finger at SUVs as they pass me at the bus stop. A double-wag for those SUVs that hold only one person or sorority looking females.
• Watching movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
• Omitting my morning shower routine. Yay for sponge baths!
• Guilting someone into buying me lunch.
• Breathing 10% less than I usually do.

Now for my real goals for Earth Day:

• Taking the bus to and from work, walking to and from lunch location. (I usually do this, I know. But I will be doing this in honor of the planet.)
• Recycle all paper waste for the day.
• Bring a refillable cup to Starbucks for my morning caffeine fix.
• Continue to go through boxes at home and put things in piles to donate or recycle.
• Not watch TV except for The Unusuals (there's also an episode on tonight, I think Cupid has met the same fate as the original/much better version of the concept...go Pivs!).

Well, I should get back to editting.

Have a great day!

• The weather. It's been gorgeous this week, most of last week...it's been one of those odd years where Baton Rouge has actually experienced Spring.
• Books. We all know that I love them. But so far this year, I cannot seem to tear myself away from them. To be honest, I need to buy another book shelf for my house to store them all. I'm really considering getting rid of my table to make more room. (Since I rarely use the table for anything other than storing books, anyway.)
• Students. While I have the tendency to believe that all students are hooligans, I must admit that they have been a point of happiness as of late. Meeting deadlines. Behaving. Providing good feedback. It's been a pleasant week or so of student interaction. (Totally jinxed myself on that one, I know.)
• Television. I must admit that I have become a fan of some of the late season replacement shows. I really like The Unusuals and Krod Mandoon. Of course, they are quirky shows...which I tend to enjoy...on DVD...after they are quickly taken off the air...maybe these will be different?

• Health. I've been feeling really blech lately. Not really sure why. But I would put money on the fact that I've been sleeping, eating and exercising much like someone with their own Discovery Health Channel special lately. Must work on being a healthier member of society.
• Addiction. "Hi, my name is                    , and I am addicted to Mystery novels. Specifically those written by Agatha Christie."
• Motivation. While I have been motivated by books, tv shows and students lately, I have had a hard time finding motivation to complete some projects that are still sitting on my desk (currently staring at me, actually). Hopefully, my first wind of the day hits soon. That would be most excellent.
• Weather. Just in time for the weekend, Baton Rouge should be getting another round of rain/thunderstorms/spring weather. This really will not help my goal of being more active this weekend at all.

Well, I should try to conquer some of the piles on my desk. Have a great weekend!
