sunshine

I played my very first song on the guitar the other day: You Are My Sunshine. :)

The next day I broke a string and haven't been able to practice it. It's pretty shaky and not fluid at all but it's there.

I figure that knowing the guitar will be good for when I'm a teacher. I can play songs to the kids and we can sing together! hooray! when we do the weather we can have a song for how it is outside. I'll have to brainstorm this. . .

my attempt to save the world, thus far.

My new year's resolution was to save the world. I understand that this is a big undertaking but I know that there are things I can do everyday to make the world a better place.

-recycle all paper, plastic, cardboard, cans, etc. I recycle every freaking thing I can. I recycle things at work that people tell me might not be acceptable. I'd rather let the people who really know what's going on at the plant decide!

-reusable coffee mug. this is key. i realized i was using 2-3 paper cups or plastic cups a day at work. So I got myself a nice (spill proof!!) mug that I can take with me wherever I go. I'm pretty good about remembering it, too, believe it or not!

-eating organic. I try very hard to eat as organically as possible. Why is this good? Well, organic food is produced without using artificial pesticides, growth hormones, by farmers who have the good of the earth (including it's inhabitants) in mind. (click here for more detailed info).

-smiling. i know this sounds simple, but seriously. some people are just so freaking miserable. there is no reason for it! you only get today once!

i'll add a few more later. for now, i have to shower so as to make the world a little better for myself AND my coworkers. :)

number one.

So here I go again. attempting to blog. blog blog.

I read the blog's of others and i think it's a fantastic way to keep everyone informed and what not. especially since we all live everywhere now. we aren't all in binghamton, state college, or baltimore.

I am assuming this will turn into something a little more later, but for now i have to get to wegmans. :)
