So there was a lot of stuff in the book that didn't make too much since. As I was reading the book (the stuff that I could actually understand) I flipped to the page where in big black bold letters said,"What happens when nothing happens?" (pg. 19, The Everyday) Well what does happen when nothing happens this could be taking in so many different ways like... what happens when there is something that is bothering you and you do nothing about it? You could end up driving yourself crazy dealing with stress that you do not need unless you do something about it. In our everyday lives we are forced to do something about most things but if we do not, something happens either way. So if you do nothing..nothing will happen and nothing is something! So in a since, nothing is everything and nothing is nothing being something.
I type in "nothing" in google images to see what came up. This picture just goes to show that nothing is something(there is something in that jar, whether it just be air, molecules, or simply just dust)nothing is captured!

wing earrings
Yesterday when I was wearing my simple wing earrings, that I love so much, I was getting so many great comments on them! And can you believe they were only a dollar.. yep one dollar! It just makes you think that the littlest and simplest things in life can get so much praise and you wouldn't even know it was a dollar. It really makes you want to stop and just appreciate the little things in your everyday life.
Audio Blog
Here is my audio blog... I took a while to get up because my original plan was to record my dogs playing. When they play they sound like Opera singers. Then I heard that someone had already recorded their dogs, so I wanted to do something different.I decided to sing with Sasha... We harmonized the song "unbreak my heart" By Toni Braxton and recorded my BIS 300 class. A special thanks to Ly for helping me =)

patterns in the sky
So after the third presentation today I was thinking about things that I usually don't realize on the way home. Usually when I am driving, I am concentrating on the road, but today, I couldn't help but realize the beautiful patterns in the sky that the geese were forming as they were flying south. There were so many of them flying it kinda made a eerie look in the sky with all the geese and the fog. I wish I could of took a picture but that would of resulted in a car accident and we wouldn't want that would we? =)
Smelly markers...Yummy!!
So in class we were using these smelly markers. If I was a little kid and had these I would think that all markers were smelly and maybe even taste them. I think that these markers should be for older kids and definitely not for kids under the age of eight. Although, they do have a good concept, I just don't think they are appropriate for the aged group they may be intended for.

Seriously? at Toys-R-Us?
Seriously... What has the world come to when you can't even be safe at Toys-r-us anymore? This is absolutely ridiculous ...No wonder they call it black Friday...
(CBS/AP) Two people are dead in a Black Friday shooting at a crowded Toys "R" Us in Palm Desert, Calif.
City Councilman Jim Ferguson says police have told him that the victims were two men with handguns who shot each other.
The councilman says his question is: who takes a loaded gun into a toy store. And his answer is: "I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper." Authorities are still investigating but indicate the shooting may have been gang related.
One woman says she was in the store looking at coloring books with her two young boys when there was a commotion in the next aisle. She thought it was a scramble for a sale, then heard gunshots. She says her four-year-old grabbed her leg and said he didn't want to die.
The violence erupted on the traditional post-Thanksgiving start of the holiday shopping surge, but accounts of what occurred inside the store were fragmentary or second hand and it was not clear whether it involved any shopping frenzy.
The Palm Desert Police Department received calls of shots fired around 11:35 a.m., Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez said. He said officers were still investigating what prompted the gunshots.
Immediately after the shooting, about 20 people rushed into the World Gym across the street from Toys "R" Us, the gym's assistant manager Glenn Splain told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
"They were crying, tearing and shaking," Splain said, adding that one woman came in cradling a baby.
"Some people got into a fight," said Splain, who spoke with some of the customers. "One of the guys here thought it was over a toy, but it got louder and louder and then there were gunshots."
Sarah Pacia of Cathedral City told The Desert Sun newspaper she was in the store with her two boys, ages 4 and 6, looking at coloring books when she heard a commotion in the next aisle. She thought it was people rushing to get a sale item. Then she heard three or four shots.
She said she froze, and store employees calmly escorted her out of the store.
"This is Toys "R" Us. There are kids shopping in there," Pacia said. Her son Jayden, 4, was clinging to her leg. He told her he didn't want to die, she said.
Toys "R" Us officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Palm Desert is about 120 miles east of Los Angeles.
