Crunchy Cons and HTML

I am so proud of myself! Embedding the slideshow and these videos is the highlight of my day! Really, I am no computer wiz, but I am actually figuring out how to use html to my advantage. This is huge for me because I remember my dad using "computer language" back in the good ole days of DOS and I was always so impressed that he could talk to a computer. My dad is cool. I love him.

So here are the long awaited, highly anticipated, annoyingly complicated, and truly affectionated videos...

The second installment of the house.

The third...

I just started reading this great book, Crunchy Cons: How Birkenstocked Burkeans, gun-loving organic gardeners, evangelical free-range farmers, hip homeschooling mamas, right-wing nature lovers, and their diverse tribe of countercultural conservatives plan to save America (or at least the Republican Party). I am loving it and I am only on page 16! Perhaps I am a Crunchy Con. Anyone read it, please share your thoughts? Anyone Crunchy (#2 definition)?


If any fellow bloggers out there need some help, don't hesitate to comment below (at the bottom of each post is a "Comments" link in really small type, click on this and you can then ask away.) The website where I found the html script is here.

Peace,

So I miss David a lot, this 90 day break is testing my strength. I spoke with a good friend today, Suzie B, she laughed as I told her how much I miss him because she had just talked to him about 2o min earlier and he told her exactly the same thing about me! :) This makes me happy.

I embeded two short documentaries, Chris, a good friend, put together of Tom. Tom is this great guy that David takes care of, and really is best friends with. I love Tom, he is family.





Peace,

View from the back porch

Here is a video I made yesterday afternoon:




I start my new job tomorrow, Monday. Honestly, I am grieving and nervous. I know it will be fine and nice to not be dirt poor, but I will miss all the perks of unemployment. If only I could get paid to contemplate and explore!

Alas, I will enter the ranks of a glorified copy girl. But I am thankful because I am making more than I was in Chicago! Which is really unheard of out here with the cost of living being lower. It is a blessing that I am grateful for!

I think what scares me the most about going back to full-time work... is exactly that, FULL-TIME WORK. I understand that I don't have any alternatives and that we all have to work to support ourselves- that isn't the problem. Lack of sunshine and fresh air is really my concern. Being cooped up in a cubicle making friends with paper clips and staples is my imminent demise. I know this may sound simplistic, traditional and unliberated, but it is the truth: I just really want to get married and be a mom. Vacuuming, making lunches, diapers, gardens, homework, spills and staring at an exhausted husband sounds like bliss to me:)


Happy 25th Birthday Suzie, sorry I couldn't be there!!


Peace,
