Busy! And confused…
Man, getting engaged and working on a wedding + working a normal, FT job + spending as much time with Alicia as I can sure makes me a busy guy! I barely have time to catch my breath! But that’s okay, it’s only for a few more months, then I can catch my breath… but only for just another minute, I’m sure.
We’re having struggles with Alicia’s engagement ring. When I bought it it was a size 7 and was great aside from being just a little too big for her, so we took it back to get resized. That took a week. Then, about 3 days after (if that) one of the black diamonds had fallen out. So shortly thereafter she took it back to Morgan Jewelers to get replaced. That took another week, plus a few days cause we couldn’t make it to the mall in time to pick it up. We figured that during the shrinking process some of the prongs holding in the diamonds must have been spread open a little bit. Well, less than 3 hours after getting it back a 2nd time ANOTHER diamond has fallen out. We’re getting to the point where the Jeweler seems to have the ring more than Alicia has had the ring. It’s getting quite annoying. The nice jeweler guy did tell us that if it keeps happening we can exchange it for another build of this ring, or just trade it in towards the wedding ring that I’ll be buying. I kinda hope that we just get a ring that the diamonds stay in on…..
Now. In the title I mentioned I was confused. In Elementary School I remember learning about plants, about photosynthesis, about how plants make oxygen. And you know what else I remember? Carbon Dioxide, or, CO2 is plants favorite food! So, makes me wonder, what’s with all the hype AGAINST CO2 from the enviro-nuts? People spending money to ‘offset’ their ‘carbon footprint’, which I find to be the freaking stupidest scam since ever. I mean really, how can you not figure that it’s a giant profit-making scheme.
OH, and let’s not get started about profits. The big rally cry from Liberals today is ‘greedy capitalist and their exorbitant profits ruining the world’. So I have to ask – do they not like money? When they have an opportunity to generate some wealth and revenue for themselves do they shudder at the thought? I’m pretty sure they don’t – I’m pretty darn positively sure that given an opportunity to make millions of dollars they’d jump on that horse faster than you would notice! So why, then, do they love to characterize big companies as big greedy things because they happen to have amassed fortunes? I just don’t get it!
Come to think of it, there really isn’t anything in the thought-process of liberals that I actually understand. I’m sorry if this post is offensive to anyone, but I really am just confused by the general hypocrisy and shallow thinking that seems to be infecting too many people.
In happy news, I’m just a few days shy from my wedding. Planning is coming along. We’re getting things figured out, food prep’d, flowers planted, dress bought, honeymoon planned (Eastern Caribbean Cruise, in case you’re wondering). I’m pretty excited about the cruise! Heck yes!
No time to play with your friends! That’s okay, I forgive you. Miles and I were probably the same way when we were engaged. But you can’t be a hermit after you get married! Promise!
