Happy Halloween!

Hello all! Busy week and it's only Tuesday! UGH. Oh well, that means I'll still have a job in the future. :) YAY

Jen, Courtney and I carved pumpkins on Sunday. We had soo much fun...I carved a pumpkin for Milo too. I'm not sure how into Halloween he is. He sniffed it a little and sorta looked scared.

I also decorated my desk at work. I'll post pictures of that soon. We had a lot of fun doing it, but I was pretty busy so I couldn't really enjoy it too much. Oh well

Here's some pics of our Pumpkins:

This is Jen's Pumpkin



Okay so all of a sudden Blogger is taking forever to upload photos. I'm going to post the rest tomorrow :( sorry

Later,

Going Green

So I had an internal debate about a Swiffer this weekend. Long story but I decided to google what the environmental impact of a Swiffer is. I found this wonderful website http://planetgreen.discovery.com/ It has so much "green" information. Now I'm not normally a "tree hugger" but I gotta say - Our planet is going downhill these days and I don't want to contribute any more to that than I already have. So I've decided that I'm going to do my best - no promises - to cut down on my impact on our earth. I think that means I'm going green!

Some things I'm going to do to reduce my impact:

1. Not buy or use anymore of those swiffers. I'm going to cut up old t-shirts and use washcloths, and attach those to my swiffer.

2. Buy a broad leaf plant. This will keep the air in my home fresh and filtered - if I get enough of them. I'm open to suggestions on this one because, I killed the bamboo plant at work. So I need something that's not going to die if I don't remember to water it every day!

3. Start using at home cleaners. By this I mean Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemons....I know crazy! But I'm reading on tons of websites that these three items are the key to keeping your house clean and green. Apparently you can even use vinegar as a fabric softener....so if you have someone who's allergic to detergents you can use it and it will break down the detergent better than fabric softener.

4. Recycle corks. I drink a lot of wine...and by that I mean. Around 1 bottle a week. Depending on the week ;) I've looked up some really great uses for the old corks that I normally just throw away, but I can do sooo much with them. If you're interested you can go here http://planetgreen.discovery.com/home-garden/reuse-cork-ideas.html

That's all for now - I'll let you know when I'm ready to take the leap and get those worms! (hannah)

Next up: Milo goes green!

He likes to snuggle.

Hello

So I made it through my crazy week at work. I thought it was never going to end. We had to let go two people a couple weeks ago. One graphics guy and an editor. As is tradition in Alkemi (from what I hear) when we let people go...we start to get busy again. And BOY did we get busy. I worked 4 hours of OT just this past week (that's unusual for me). I'm starting to do a bit more now that we don't have an associate producer. I'm sort of taking on the responsibilities of that position. Which is good! I love being busy and I'm really enjoying the trailer making process. We got 2 pretty big jobs in on Friday so that's exciting. (more on that later)

So yeah I'm seeing good things happening...I just wish I saw these good/big things in my pocketbook :( but that's alright. I'm young and single so I don't have anyone to worry bout except Milo and he's taken care of :) So I have to look at things in a positive way. I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, a place to work out, I've got it better than a lot of people in this country.

Okay I have to eat something - still haven't had any breakfast. Milo says HI!



Love you!

I'm back!

I know it's been forever since I've posted on here. So I went through and deleted all the past posts and I'm starting fresh!

News:

I've moved. I no longer reside and the little apartment on La Mirada Avenue. :) I now live in....the Hollywood Hills! Yes, you read right. I'm a resident of the same zip code of some of Hollywoods finest...and no I don't mean the police. Apparently Eva Longoria Parker lives somewhere in these hills - probably not true. Lots of reality show people buy houses here because it's cheaper to buy. I'm super happy with our place! Milo loves it here too. He has lots of windows to sit in! (I'm putting pictures at the end)

In other news I got a raise at work. Yay!! I should be able to start paying off those student loans soon. (yes I know Uncle Steve - I'll go back to school when I figure out what it is I want to do- I PROMISE)

Milo recently had a trip to the doctor. He apparently has allergies. Allergies in a cat?? Believe it! So it's just a little cortizone shot and he's all better.

That's all for now. I've got a much more active life - so I'll be able to post things more often. Sorry but still don't have a digital camera - the old one is still broken. :( So you'll have to do with the grainy cell phone pics.

Night all!
