i guess i'm a blogger?

i've never done one of these before, but if dan can do them, well then- i shouldnt have a hard time, should i? haha.. well, we're still looking for jobs. it just seems hard since christmas break is coming up- and in the restaurant biz.. students come back from school for a little over a month and want some money while they're here. hopfully- more positions open up if we dont find something before the holiday. we could be looking harder too i suppose. but we knew we wanted to be lazy for just a little while. bummer that our "relax" time is during november when we have nothing to look forward to. we get shorter daylight hours, and those hours just keep getting colder. i love being outside.. just not in november. or december. or january. or february. thanks wisconsin! but oh well.. i still love it here. i dont think i could leave. and there lies my problem. i guess in context i could look forward to some more of this global warming stuff.. but i cant actually admit that. ohh... a neat thing i came across the other day. there is this new website by Google.. it is called Blackle. and the website is just that. but apparently it saves energy because the background is black.. you can read about it on http://www.blackle.com/ and since my old homepage was Google, i changed it to this so that everytime i logon- i save a bit of energy. it kinda makes me feel a little bit better for myself. =) they have a list of little everyday things that you can do to help the cause. i even learned some stuff- like.. most energy is used to power appliances when they arent even in use! three quarters! i find the tips all affordable and easy to do. and i especailly like how the website keeps track of the watt hours saved right there on the homepage. there is also http://www.searchgreener.com/ which is basically the same thing, but they quote "any and ALL profit from your searches on searchgreener will buy carbon offsets, 100%! " so that is a good thing too. both are run by google. i am sure there are many others out there too. so- there's my randomrant. but now i have to go get ready for Conejitos! meet us there!
