Though there are some fighting scenes in Power Rangers they are very mild and you never really see anyone getting hurt. It's a fun show with some goofy moments and the costumes are pretty neat.

Save Handmade Toys
Posted: 29 Dec 2008 11:01 PM CST
This past August, in response to the massive toy recalls, Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) , which bans lead and phthalates in toys, mandates third-party testing and certification for all toys and requires toy makers to permanently label each toy with a date and batch number. Sounds great, right? Of course, we all want our children to have safe toys. However, the CPSIA is not the right answer-at least not the way it is written now. It does not take into account small toy manufacturers who cannot pay thousands of dollars to have EACH toy tested.The Act does not only apply to toys-it applies to ALL products for children 12 and under. That includes cloth diapers, clothing, shoes, hats, school supplies, car seats...anything and everything that is for children 12 and under.According to the Handmade Toy Alliance, these are some examples of the negative impact the CPSIA will have:
For small American, Canadian, and European toymakers and manufacturers of children's products, however, the costs of mandatory testing will likely drive them out of business.
A toymaker, for example, who makes wooden cars in his garage in Maine to supplement his income cannot afford the $4,000 fee per toy that testing labs are charging to assure compliance with the CPSIA.
A work at home mom in Minnesota who makes cloth diapers to sell online must choose either to violate the law or cease operations.
A small toy retailer in Vermont who imports wooden toys from Europe, which has long had stringent toy safety standards, must now pay for testing on every toy they import.
And even the handful of larger toy makers who still employ workers in the United States face increased costs to comply with the CPSIA, even though American-made toys had nothing to do with the toy safety problems of 2007.This will put a lot of people out of business. It will affect small companies, Etsy shop owners, moms selling handmade felt food, baby hair clips, leggings, dolls, etc from their homes...all out of business because they will not be able to comply with the mandatory testing due to the high cost. In fact, it is already happening. A European toy company, called Selecta has already pulled out of the American toy market in anticipation of the new regulations, which will take effect in February 2009. Of course, all of this will be a big blow to our already hurting economy! Not to mention, that our already limited sources for "green" toys or children's products to will be essentially non-existent.Honestly, I can't imagine being limited to only buying mass produced products. That would be so sad and utterly boring. Not to mention, that handmade toy makers, small "green" or wooden toy companies, or any of the businesses and people affected had NOTHING to do with the mass recalls. It is not fair or just to put the very people who have always provided us with safe children's products out of business.What You Can Do:1. Sign the online petition to Save Handmade Toys in the USA from the CPSIA.2. Write to your United States Congress Person and Senator to request changes in the CPSIA to save handmade toys. Use the Handmade Toy Alliance sample letter or write your own. You can find your Congress Person here and Senator here.3. Vote for amending the law at Change.org. If it gets sufficient votes, it will be presented to President-Elect Barack Obama in January.4. Send an email directly to the CPSC letting them know how you feel.5. Grab the Save Handmade Toys button on my sidebar and spread the word.

Nothing much going on today. Skie is still sick. She woke me up asking for medicine. Odd lil girl likes to be drugged. lol. She is finaly cleaning up her room. Im still trying to get it organized.
Im in love with a new coffee creamer. Normaly i like just milk and sugar, but Coffee Mate made a holiday creamer called Pumpkin Spice. Oh goodness, its a perfect blend and mixes great with coffee.
So i titled this blog "Things I Care About" and here is why:
For those of you that do not know about the CPSIA laws going into affect in Feb, please get educated. Whether or not you own a child’s business, you will be affected as a consumer and definitely as a blog owner that does giveaways with countless mom and child businesses. This is a terrible, terrible law that was made for a Nobel cause, but put together too broadly and will incidentally affect, and shut down, nearly every mom business out there in Feb that works with children’s products. Its being called National Bankruptcy Day very appropriately.
I am shocked that a law like this could be passed. Its going to ruin many peoples businesses. So i email my senators... here is what was said:
December 28, 2008The Honorable John CornynUnited States Senate517 Hart Senate Office BuildingWashington, DC 20510-4302Senator Cornyn:I am writing to ask your immediate help to deal with an urgent problem relating to the recently enacted Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) (PL 110-787).The CPSIA legislation was an important contribution in efforts to strengthen product safety laws to make sure only safe and compliant products are sold to our nation's children. While well-intentioned, this legislation contains several provisions that impose new and burdensome requirements that increase costs at a time of economic upheaval but do not offer any improvement in the safety of children's clothing or footwear. If left unchanged, such requirements, especially considering this dire economic environment, will have a disastrous impact on our company.As you know, the August 14, 2008 legislation included a new ban on lead in children's products (no more than 600 parts per million (ppm) by weight of any part of the product). According to the CPSIA, the new lead requirements take effect beginning February 10, 2009. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), however, has determined that this new requirement will apply to goods in inventory, as well as goods made on or after that effective date. This ruling effectively makes this new lead requirement retroactive. This means that product that I produced several months ago, and which is safe and legally compliant today, will not be able to be sold on February 10. This seems unfair, as it means we are being held responsible for a standard that didn't even exist when we made those goods. Moreover, it will be extremely difficult - and in some cases impossible - to retroactively certify that individual goods already in the warehouses and on the store shelves meet the new lead standard.In short, the ruling puts at risk millions of dollars of inventory. Moreover, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has so far failed to provide clear guidance or issue regulations on how the new lead rules should apply to garments and footwear, even though this rule takes effect in just under 75 days. Guidance has thus far been provided in a piecemeal approach while the CPSC wades through a backlog of information requests and juggles multiple new rule makings with limited resources. Because of the incomplete guidance, we are being forced to undertake duplicative testing of components or to test elements of garments and footwear that are either inaccessible or that are inherently lead free. While testing forms an important validation, we do not see how these conflicting and burdensome requirements - especially for products and components that are inherently lead free - advance children's safety.I respectfully request your help ensuring that the CPSC institute rulemaking to clearly define the scope and applicability of the new lead regulations and testing requirements for apparel and footwear products. I also urge that CPSC announce and implement an orderly enforcement schedule that focuses initial phases on education of these new requirements. Finally, I believe the decision by the CPSC to apply the lead ban retroactively needs to be reconsidered as soon as possible since the practical impact of this decision, in today's economic environment, will have an adverse effect at a time the government is spending billions to stimulate the economy.

And here is what i have gotten in return so far:
Dear Misty VanEpps, Thank you for contacting my offices. Your correspondence has been received, and we will respond to you as quickly as possible. A copy of your message is attached below for your records. If you need immediate assistance regarding an urgent problem you are experiencing with the federal government, visit the "Help With Federal Agencies" section of the website for details on how to proceed so that your difficulties are brought to my attention as soon as possible. If you are seeking information or services from my offices that are NOT related to my Legislative duties, please visit my "Services For Texans" section for more information.Warmest Regards,U.S. Senator John Cornyn

I hope that enough people bring this to there local reps emediatly to help keep these small businesses afloat. its sad, but we need to do what we can. please head on over to the link above and do your part, this will effect you too.

These damn dishwashers in these apartments are shit. i put a load in and set it to wash, and they still come out dirty or with spots! its not like im useing some cheap detergent either, i use cascade power pacs. its a pain in the ass to open the damn thing and have to rewash shit. ugh, anyways. i have decided i cant go back to washing dishes by hand, nope. so nick is going to buy me a dishwasher after we move home. yippee! just have to pick one out.
so, nick got the dining table out. i let him take it apart and toss in the dumpster. he took all the garbage out he been putting off for days now. and the dining chairs too, and the glass cabinet that i didnt want. so its pretty damn empty in here.
Skie went to bed early, i dosed her with some pedia care cold medicine. then i snuck in her room to grab toys to pack and ship home. but i left her the barbies and littlest pet shop. so she can play with those on the way home.
Its going to be interesting going home with 3 cats in the car, peanut will be mad that misa is less than 10 feet from her. bibble will probably just lay in the back window and sleep, and then misa will probably be going nuts trying to see whats going on.... gonna be eventfull im sure of that.
well, im off to bed. xoxoxo
~misty~

I feel much better now, i took a 3 hour nap. Hubby cooked dinner for me... Steak and rice. Then i told him i wanted baked potato and he made that for me too. I have the best husband ever. There was a nice breeze comeing in the bedroom window so i slept like a baby. I probably could of slept another hour or so, but i need to do something productive. I did get my cleaning done today, except the kitchen floor. and well, the bathroom floor needs to be done too. Im slowly getting started on the banana bread.
Nick is chillin on the sofa playing a game on the PS3. I find it hard to really get into a game. its just pretty pointless. I did like the Sims for a while, i like roleplaying games like that. Skie likes her games she got for the PS2, I got her a Bratz game and a Barbie Island Princess one for christmas. she loves them, but hasnt played them much since her chores come first, her bedroom is a mess. I even took her leapster away.
So, our apartment is looking pretty bare, with practicly everything packed. There's and Echo in every room. But i can't wait to get home. I miss my family so damn much.
guess that is all for now. xoxoxo

mmm. nothing like a hot bowl of soup when ur down with a cold. I love the cups of soup that all ya gotta do is microwave it and its ready to go. its perfect for when ur not feeling up to making or creating a soup.
I got some of the cleaning done, the kitchen looks ok, the floor is swept but it needs to be scrubbed, like hands and knees scrubbed. and i dont seem myself doing that today. it cooled down A LOT since this morning, im actually a little chilly now. and i know i will get that bread done today.
Nick and i are exchanging our crazy dreams from last night. i had a dream about me getting married and i know it was real good but i cant remember much of it now. and he had a dream about Me, i was dressing in a skimpy lil negliche and he had come home from work, i asked him if he thought i looked good, and he agreed i did, but then i told him sorry its that time of the month... ur out of luck. omg, isnt that hillarious. i so should be that mean just to piss him off. lol. arn't i such a great wife. lol.
Skie is making herself a sandwich. she is real good about doing things on her own. if only i could get her to clean her room. i need to go through everything and get it ready to ship home. fun fun.
well, thats all for now. xoxo

Anyways, i think this will be a lazy day. not doing to much, just cleaning, organizing and packing. possibly do the banana bread i have been putting off for a week now. i just havnt found any ambition to get it done. We have new neighbors and i want to give them a loaf as a welcoming gift. Then i gotta fill out thank you cards for all our neighbors for the gifts they gave skie. We are still receiving gifts for christmas. Everyone is so sweet. and thoughful. I will miss everyone when we go home.
Skie isn't feeling well, i just dosed her with some cold medicine. she is chilling with her dolly right next to me. She loves the new princess chair my friend april, nick and her friend ryan got her for christmas. She has been pretty content will all her new toys. hardly hear a peep out of her during the day, she is so busy in her imaginary land. We had gotten her some hot wheels cars and i seen her playing with them, its so cute.
Well, it looks like a beautiful day. hope it dosent get to hot since the AC is off.
Im, thinking thats all for now. gonna go reply to my emails and get breakfast made. bye for now!!

oh my goodness.... we went to Michaels, Target and then Walmart. We seen some of the ugliest and stupidest people ever. there was this one woman that was about a foot taller than me but had to weigh between 250-300 wearing something that looks like a wife beater but didnt cover her stomach. oh god, i was happy i hadnt eaten luch yet, i know i would of lost it. then at target there was a stinky fat person wearing a tye-dye shirt and sweat pants. and another person of about 300 lbs. was in a motorized cart thingy and i happened to be behind her, she smelt like the BO of 10 Fat guys. oh god, it was nasty.
Anyways, i found some good deals. got my dad a bag of candy. some crafty things at michaels, got nick a wooden ship sculpting kit. he put that together within an hour. gonna have to find something more difficult. lol. at walmart i got make-up assesories kit, a fur-real leapard, cute pink make-up bag, and packaging tape. Target had some good deals, but i will wait for the stockings stuffers to go down to 75% off. i love clearance. lol. paying fullprice is just stupid!!
Well, we are chillin at home, nick left to go clean the car. im gonna have him take some boxes over to UPS to ship to NY.
Skie and i took a little walk to visit our neighbors. its nice outside, but hot upstairs. since the AC is off its all muggy and hot. but there is a nice breeze.
anyways, im off for now. xoxoxo

Friday.... getting things accomplished.

i been coughing all night, my head feels like it wants to explode. i gotta get to the drug store for some medicine.
Im slowly getting the house back in order. its looking pretty bare now that nick took the lights down. Skie has mini M&M's all over the living room floor. I gotta finish loading the dishwasher and get that going. Then i will start breakfast: French Toast.... yummy! Im gonna wake nick in a couple hours so we can go shopping. I plan to go to Michaels, Target and Walmart. Then if its not to hot im gonna use up the bananas and make bread, then give it to my neighbors. After all that is done, i may take a nap if it isnt to hot.
oh geez, bibble is on top of the hutch of the desk trying to get into a starbucks bag. lol. she is a weird cat. She is very picky like peanut, and they get along well. Misa is still a little crazy kitten. but is getting more loveable.
Anyways. im outa here. gonna go get the vacuming done.

I can't believe the horrible people in this world. This being christmas usualy is a time for sharing and a time for giving, but a dear friend of mine came home from visiting family on sunday to find her place robbed. She is Saddend by the fact that all her sons presents where stolen.. among other possesions. Poor Ryan, Skies 4yr lil play mate, is shattered by this. I couldnt be more heart broken for them, some sick bastard is going to pay the price for this. Karma will come back to get you.
If anyone would like to help make this little boys christmas a little brighter please email me at mommy2skie@yahoo.com
