Pervasive Toxic Particles
I think my car is poisoning me. So I am going to test it out with this nifty invention:
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a toxic, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, butane, propane, fuel oil, wood, coal, and other fossil fuels. Dangerous levels of CO can be produced by internal combustion engines or from any poorly vented or improperly adjusted fuel-burning appliance. Exposure to CO may cause sickness, headaches, or even death.
This Carbon Monoxide Detector can save a pilot’s life, especially when flying with the heater on, by warning of the presence of CO in the cockpit—the spot will turn gray/black when CO is in the air. The spot on the detector returns to normal color after it is exposed to fresh air.
You can use this CO-DETECTOR as your personal and portable CO detection device. With the adhesive back, stick it on the panel or dash for a semi-permanent installation, or wear it on an ID badge or on a lanyard. Uses include:
* Airplanes
* Cars
* Fuel Trucks
* Grass Cutting Equipment
* Tugs
* Campers
* And More!
Useful life is 90 days once opened.
I also bought some for my family. Hope it works.

Nothing rhymes with Orange
Instead of buying the shirt, I thought I'd send the message. Imagine it stretched across one's bosom.

Want to be alone in the carpool lane?
As of January 2007, ten thousand more HOV Clear Air Vehicle stickers were available through the DMV. It's June now, are there any more left?

Back Burner
TOMORROW i will call the Career Center at Scripps and finally get more active about my career decisions and goals. I just hope they can help.
So here are the things that I am considering:
Registered Dietician / Public Health
After having worked with high school youth for almost 5 years and not doing it for a year, I realized that I really miss it and I should explore career bring me closer to youth and education. As an RD/MPH, I see myself working with school districts on nutrition education, maybe even cafeteria menu planning. Getting the right foods to fuel young minds at work and for needy families is important to me. If needed, I could also plant myself as a Dietician in fitness clubs (Sports Club LA) and private practice on the side...getting myself fit as I do it. What would also be neat is if I start community health education via live classes or video: cooking course, grocery shopping trips. Way to incorporate shopping into my career, huh? The MPH track would allow me to travel and work with peoplein underdeveloped countries [during the times school is out of session].
Exploration step: Talk to Hawthorne School District nutrition program director.
Registered Nurse
I've thrown around the idea of being a nurse, mostly because it's a road well-traveled--the idea of which is conforting to me. I'm making it sound practical and dry, because that's what it is to me. It is the "I'm going to have a family one day, and I need to put food on the table and clothes on their back" option. With the Baby Boomer retirement exodus out of the workforce, jobs in nursing, education, law enforcement, ... almost everywhere will need to be filled. And it helps to know that Nurse anesthetists, the majority of whom usually hold Masters or Doctorate degrees, make 6-figure salaries.
Exploration step: Volunteer at a hospital.
Entrepreneur
I want to open up an e-commerce stationery store, making greeting cards, journals on my home printing press. I would have to find a niche in the seemingly saturated market of small presses/custom stationery & cards in order to make high-volume sales, but I think it would be the most creatively rewarding option. It can also be a hobby turned side-job that can be combined with any career option.
Exploration step: Take a letterpress course. Enroll in LTSC's small business course.

Things that make you go hmm...
So I bet I'm the last one to realize this, BUT...
1. My dogs are not fixed. We have a boy cocker spaniel and a girl shih tzu.
2. When you combine 2 different types of pure breds, you can change the name of the outcome breed. e.g. Pug and Beagle = puggle, Cocker Spaniel and Poodle = cockapoo.
3. The new breed name of Kirby and Roxy's babies would not be allowed to be spoken on network TV. But they'd be small, cute, probably beige and really furry!
How sad...

The so-called Slobster Pen
Comment 1 (from my cousin): What are you doing with that in your bag? Isn't that what suburban housewives carry around in their bags?
Comment 2 (from a youth): Wow I haven't seen you in a long time. You look like a mom [with that hair].
Comment 3 (to my stylist after she was done with my hair): Oh my God, I look like a soccer mom. I feel like I should hop into my minivan and pick up my kids now. Can I come back at the end of the week to fix it?
I just hope this doesn't mean that I have reached the deadline on my list of things I want to accomplish. BTW, the slobster pen is great for people like me who get frequently food splatter (sauces, BBQ condiments, beverages) all over their clothes. Try it, you'll like it. But, we all know this entry was never about the pen.
