Well, they changed the temp for Saturday…it is no long 100, it is now 96……lol  It was really nice out, but the normal chilly in the house.  Tomorrow will be the last day for that….then the heat hits…icks

I did good on the treadmill today, a hell lot better then last Tuesday, thankfully.  I haven’t tried on my old pants in while….guess what?  I was able fit them!  It has been about year since I was able to fit them…they are still tight as hell, but I can get into them and zip them up.  Since I can’t seem to see the difference in the mirrow, this makes me happy as hell.  Now I don’t have to worry about buying pants bigger then I wanted……just need to lose 5 more fat pounds and I’ll be to actually move around in my pants without a struggle…grin  Need a little less jiggle over the waistband.

Florida to buy ‘missing link’ of Everglades for $1.7 billion

**It is about time that the state took the Everglades serious.  But the Crist hasn’t seem like other governors.

Teaching Not Preaching In CA Bible Belt

**I don’t believe in preaching in school, but I believe in education.  And in today’s world, this kind of education is needed.  Teach people about the different religions.  It would go a long way to promoting interculture understandings.

States Shun Funds For Abstinence Education

**ABOUT TIME!!!

Obama Says Dobson “Making Stuff Up”

The Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, a Methodist pastor from Texas and longtime supporter of President Bush who has endorsed Obama, said Tuesday that he belongs to a group of religious leaders who are working independently of Obama’s campaign and launching a Web site to counter Dobson at www.jamesdobsondoesntspeakforme.com. 

**I think this is going to totally back fire on Dobson….grin

**This just backs up the previous.

Audit: DOJ Played Politics, Broke Law in Hiring 

**You know that even through this just confirms everything that we knew about this piece of shit administration and their cronies, this just pisses me off even more…..gggrrr

Alright, I’ve been horrible on updating here.  I know I update at least every 3 days, but I hate that.

Well let me update you on my workouts.  My trainer really worked my legs last Wednesday and I was feeling pain in my ass and back thigh muscles until Saturday.  Then my arms started hurting from Friday’s work just because my ass and thigh muscles were no longer hurting.  My arms were finally starting to feel normal yesterday and then I worked them out more today…more on the chest area, Fridays are the back.  Tomorrow is my cardo, 30 min on the hated treadmill.

Amazingly, even though I didn’t feel well enough for my walks this weekend, I lost the pound that I needed to lost by this Friday…….so now I need to lose another pound…lol  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

As I look at my space around my desk…I’m disappointed.  It is a mess and I hate messes, but haven’t felt like dealing with it…so sad.

Mom sent me pictures of the kids today on my phone.  Heather & Cheyanne were on roller skates and Charles was on a skateboard. I love seeing them staying active outside.   I don’t want them to have the weight and heart issues that are in our family.  They have enough of their own.

Now do you want to hear something screwy….Saturday we have beautiful comfortable weather, we loved how it got the right temp for the night while we had the window open and then it got chilly Sunday.  Today was ok outside, but left it chilly in the house…..but we are suppose to hit 90s Friday and a 100 Saturday!!!  ICKS!  I only want low to mid 80s!  We are so going to be sweating!  We are going to have to put both fans and our laptops downstairs and set up for those days.  With global warming, they really need to make AC standard.

We picked up the The Bucket List today.  That was a great movie, laughed our asses off and of course, I cried my eyes out at the end.

Got interrupted during it by a young cat in our backyard, that got Reggie’s attention.  Harold is trying to scare it out of our yard and to discourage it from coming back because of ours…..but it was so damn cute, had unusual markings,  and looked so soft, he was still a kitten.  So of course, I caught him and petted him very quickly, got a purr out of him and gave him to Harold.  As he gives me a dirty look………what can I say, I can’t resist cats….I love them.  And I want a kitten damn it!  =)

Religious Americans: My faith isn’t the only way

Nearly across the board, the majority of religious Americans believe many religions can lead to eternal life: mainline Protestants (83 percent), members of historic black Protestant churches (59 percent), Roman Catholics (79 percent), Jews (82 percent) and Muslims (56 percent).

“What most people are saying is, ‘Hey, we don’t have a hammer-lock on God or salvation, and God’s bigger than us and we should respect that and respect other people,'” said the Rev. Tom Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University.

**This is encouraging for the spreading of tolerance.

Comics Remember George Carlin

**I know that he was old….but he always seemed young with his attitude and observations.  =(  So I couldn’t believe it when Harold told me that he was died.
