“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.” ~Dr. Seuss

I'm going to start doing my "days" again (Tasty Tuesday, Wedding Wednesday, Travel Thursday) - I want to get my blog to where I want it to be. I have about 65 posts in drafts, and most of them are wedding or vacation related. I'm also going to keep up with my "Mail Call" posts (Friday - never with "day" posts). My pen pals have been _very_ neglected and I need to get them all caught up. I like knowing when I got mail and when I sent mail, so this will help me keep track of all of that too. I also have 3 "Pay It Forward" packages to send. I want to add something hand made to it, and I have to get on that.

I also want to start posting about the crafty things I do, and the things I make or bake. I've also "upgraded" a kit I bought from Paper Source that I want to share. Basically - I want this blog to be a real record of my life, and I want it to keep me accountable. Maybe, if I'm lucky, it'll bring in some cash some day. _smirk_

This weekend I saw that The Lorax was on Netflix live streaming. I was semi-boycotting it because when the movie was released Huggies (I believe) released The Lorax disposable diapers - which sort of goes against what The Lorax is about. Anyway - I've watched it 3 times since then. I guess you could say I like it. _smirk_

Right now I'm watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Netflix. (Have I ever mentioned how much I _LOVE_ Netflix streaming?) It reminded me that I want to read Dick Van Dyke's autobiography. I have too many other books to read first though (The Hobbit, The Vampire Lestat & The Marvelous Land of Oz). I want to read all of the books I already have before buying more

Quotes of the moment:

"We're all given a little spark of madness. We mustn't lose it." ~Robin Williams

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” ~Dr. Seuss

"We ain't what we should be, we ain't what we gonna be, but at least we ain't what we was." ~Miss Minnie - Designing Women

"Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature." ~Carl Sagan

"Women are not dying because of diseases we cannot treat. They are dying because societies have yet to make the decision that their lives are worth saving." ~Prof. Mahmoud Fathalla, MD, PhD

"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints; the sinners are much more fun." ~Billy Joel

"Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It's basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating." ~Simon Pegg

"The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages." ~Banksy

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." ~Gandalf

"When you can't run anymore, you crawl, and when you can't do that anymore you find someone to carry you." ~Firefly

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." ~Marcus Aurelis

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." ~Oscar Wilde

"Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?" ~John Coffey - The Green Mile

"I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." ~Sirius Black - Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix

"Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt." ~John Muir
