2008-05-09 16:36:00 OK... to rid myself of frustration with our country and the news...

Gritting my teeth this morning... which isn't good for them of course
2008-05-09 16:25:00 Housing bill advances on hopes of compromise WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite a veto threat from the president, House Democrats are moving ahead with their mortgage relief bill. Majority Democrats are moving the plan to the Senate. They got a boost from nearly 40 Republicans whose constituents have been hard-hit by the sub-prime mortgage crisis but Senate approval is not a certainty.

Anyone want a 17 year old? For free?
2008-05-08 22:49:00 The 17 year old strikes again. This time my comment (obviously in jest); "You're ruining the entire male species!" caused a huge outburst. Tears, yelling and slamming of doors because it was 'putting her down' (Yeah.. uh, as if she, a lone 17 year old girl is really capable of ruining the entire male species????).

Why Do We Eat Things We Don't Even Really Want?
2008-05-08 18:20:00 I started reading a new James Patterson novel last night and since he's such a quick and easy writer to read I was already about half way done with the book by the time I put it down around 11:30. I decided to take a midmorning break and read for a bit but my stomach started growling. Ignoring the rumble in my tummy I tried to concentrate but all I could think of was how hungry I was.

The Day Holds Such Potential!
2008-05-08 13:49:00 This morning started at 4:21 am when I heard Bianca (12) hiss from her bed; "Guinness! Stop it!" Guinness, if you remember, is one of the cats. She's the one with the 'chewing' problem and regularly finds electrical cords of any and all styles to chew on and make our life hell. I can't count the number of ipod ear buds and before that, CD Player ear phones we've gone through. (Samuel More About: Holds

It's Not 'My' Story but It's So Cute I Have to Tell It Anyway
2008-05-07 18:55:00 I think bloggers that have small children have so much more interesting fodder for the blog. Once your kids older like mine, and you work inside the home instead in an asylum... err, I mean office building, you have less to work with! LOL. So this is a story from my best friend last week that is just so cute I have to tell it. Of course I won't use names to keep it anonymous. My best friend More About: Cute , Story , My Story
That Thing Called An Anniversary....
2008-05-07 15:39:00 Last night Coffeehusband and I were talking about his Dad's 80th birthday and realized with a shock that it was in less than a month. That only made me realize that our Anniversary is also coming up quickly and it's a big one! The big 20 this year.

Are Ticks Good for ANYTHING?
2008-05-07 15:02:00 Ok - here is a stumper. I cannot for the life of me come up with even one good thing about ticks. Yes, ticks. Those ugly little things that climb on you from the weeds and grass or drop on you from the tree's and then suck your blood and transfer bacteria that can also cause Lyme Disease if it's a deer tick.

Think I can sell half a bottle of energy pills on ebay?
2008-05-06 17:59:00 LOL. A couple months ago we were getting ready to head to the beach for vacation and I took one look at my pasty white body and decided I need a tan and to lose about 10 lbs. before anyone on the beach could see me and not run screaming.

Something I can't do... Juggle
2008-05-06 05:30:00 I think it was in March (?) that my son and I were in the kitchen and he grabbed a few oranges and started to juggle with them. I grabbed the camera and recorded him, just for the heck of it. My Dad (his Grandpa) is the one who got him to start juggling. How? Because my Dad always wanted one of us four (4) kids to learn to juggle. When we were growing up he promised us $20 if we could do

You were actually along for the ride if you remember; it was when we went to Florida in the Spring of 2005. We've been trying to get back there with the kids ever since.

2008-05-05 15:39:00 After 23 years together it's probably no surprise that there are a hundred things that my husband does that drives me insane.

As a matter of fact for the longest time 'horror' is about the only kind of book I enjoyed reading and the only kind of movie I cared to see.

He has very little common sense, doesn't complete a thought process in the 'normal' way most people do and doesn't do very well in social situations.

Typical FIL... why oh why???

It seems he walked into Radio Shack one day last year and told them he wanted a phone for emergencies but didn't really need it for anything more. They sold him a cheap pay-as-you-go phone that he has to bring in to have 'programmed' each month and every month he
