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!

bumblebees. of course. if you havent noticed by the theme of my page. i have for some odd reason. non-explainable. a love for bumblebees. i collect trinkets. inked a bee on my hip. held a nickname as the queen bees with Stac. i just find them so cute and cheerful. they can brighten my day. especially when i find a new treasure. my cubicle is displayed with them. my bedroom. and they have even buzzed their way into the bathroom and kitchen.

boys. who enjoy playing football in the open lot. across the street from my office building. randomly on a thursday afternoon. and with their shirts off. with their hot bods. muscles rippling when they run. ha. no i am not into all that sort of thing. but it was odd and made my afternoon break a little more exciting. especially since the boys: one. hung their shirts on a tree. two. it was not hot out. three. the sun was not out. and four. they could not catch the football to save their lives. but it gave us girls something to holla about. maybe they will be back today.

babies. i love them. there is nothing more calming and beautiful than a little person. so cozy. warm. and soft. i love holding babies. the noises they make. the smell. sans crying. and dirty diapers. but i must say at this stage in my life. the best part of babies is that i can give them back to their moms. its the best of both worlds.

basketball. the big 12 tournament is going on this weekend in kc. this means chaos for the next couple of days. masses of people will be swarming my favorite hot spots. i do get annoyed by large crowds. but sometimes if you suck it up. it could lead to unexpected fun. go big red!

brunch. a favorite weekend past time. getting out of bed. wash my face. throw on some clothes. pull back my hair into a pony. sometimes a baseball cap. go to a local eatery. this usually is eggtc. but can vary. the most important part of brunch is not just the coffee. eggs. bacon. hashbrowns. chocolate milk. no. those are all fabulous. the best part of brunch. is that its early enough that you can go back home afterwards. with a full belly. and take a nap.

beers. on a lazy friday afternoon with my friend coxie. stella. mmm good. i also enjoy many other brews. but its also about the company. atmosphere. and then how well it goes down. love.

GF08: big step last night. literally. made it to my 3 mile mark in 30 mins. another pb. i plan to try to do the same tonight. possibly use the track. then sit in excited anticipation for my friends coming into town for the weekend.
