here are some fun facts:

1. Honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of all the foods we eat, including many of our favorite fruits, nuts and vegetables.

2. Alarmingly, more than 25 percent of the Western honey bee population has disappeared over the last several winters, threatening our food supply and our way of life.

3. Many of the honey bee deaths are being attributed to a mysterious threat called Colony Collapse Disorder, which causes bees to suddenly leave their hive and die. Unfortunately, not much is known about this new threat.

4. Researchers are working to find a solution to Colony Collapse Disorder, but there are ways that we can all help the honey bees today.

but now lets discuss a new pet peeve. well not sure if it is new. or the lack of sleep. caused by the storm. where i laid in bed thinking the hail was going to damage my car. but had little energy to actually get up and look out the window to see the hail. or that i actually brought my lunch today. but i have a huge problem with the insulated lunch bags that take up the whole refrigerator. there was one in there this morning that was large enough to fit a whole family meal from KFC. yeah. thats like a bucket of chicken. 3-4 sides. and biscuits. seriously. one person doesnt need to bring that size bag in for lunch time. the real problem is the insulated bag. if you have one. then my theory is you dont need to put it in the cooler. isnt that the purpose of the stupid bag? i mean. go green. bring a lunch bag. yes. and yes. but can you not keep it at your desk for a couple of hours. does it really make a difference.

GF08: the three of us. in bloom, untitled and i walked last night. although it was untitled's special day. the dedication to the program outweighed everything else. tonight we run. and clean for our visitor this weekend. yippee!

Yes, lots to do tonight. And I, too, was up all morning due to the storm. I like them...but I'd rather they come in the morning while we're at work.

I use my lunch bag Lauren gave me for my bday when we were in Vegas...it's perfect because it squeezes in between all those monstrous bags!
