Pointless Blog Entry

This is one of those pointless blog entries. I really have nothing to state. This is just a blog to talk about whatever.

I'm taking a break from work right now (yes- believe me, I know today is Saturday). Baby and I are listening to my iPod. Ya know, God bless the man who created this inventive musical tool for baby and I to enjoy together. How awesome. I mean, seriously, doesn't it just blow your mind to know you can have music follow you....where ever you go?! Insanity, I say!

You know what else is incredible?! Blackberry phones! I mean, honestly, I have the internet at my fingers at all times! Amazing! I have a portable handheld computer that follows me around whenever I feel like it. Wow. If you tried telling people this in the '80s, they would probably laugh at you and spray paint your house.

However, I do realize these massively cool technological "toys" have double-edged swords. Doesn't all of this technology cut us off from the rest of humanity? Wouldn't it be better to just call someone instead of text? Wouldn't it be even better still to not become addicted to this technology and text during family time or meals? Isn't quality time with your loved one(s) better than all of this? Personally, I think so. One of the things I enjoy most about camping is...no technology! Freedom, sweet freedom!

Okay, that topic's done and I still have awhile to stay at work.

Gah, it's so hard to work on the weekend when you know you have 50 other billion pressing things that need to be completed. I'm in the process of cleaning out files and working on cancellations. Stuff that needs to be done, but not as badly as nursery shopping, painting, dishes, washing floors, investigating which new carpet to purchase, grocery shopping, more painting, reading about baby so I know what the heck I'm doing now and in the future (I honestly don't know much about babies), and so on.

We leave for Mexico soon. Ah, I can't wait to just relax. I heard this nasty rumour about people evacuating Mexico due to a nasty flu pandemic and war (apparently, Canada won't let any flights go to Mexico). Whatever, if I don't go to Mexico, I don't go to Mexico...just get me away from work, home, and responsibilities for awhile. I've had enough and my patience with day-to-day activity is running very thin. And, please God, no major illness! That's one less thing I need to worry about.

Does anyone know what a serving of almonds is? How many is a serving?
