I have no idea where the day went.  I know I got some work done, but I doesn’t feel like it.  We had to head into city for a few errands and when you do that in the middle of day it kind of throws it off.  Luckily we have no place to be tomorrow, so I can actually attack a few goals that I want to get done……..I hope.  =)

The disturbing story behind the last great UW team — and how its legacy still casts a shadow on the Huskies

**Harold found this article.  This is the team that Purdue lost to in the Rose Bowl.  I can’t even expressed how disturbing and disgusting this info is.  =(  I will say with all the opposing team fans we have encountered, they were the worst ones.  They had no sportsmanship.  =(
Truman’s only child dies at 83 

**I remember seeing her books all over the bookstores.  She always sounded like an interesting woman, especially with the history that she has seen.

Giuliani to End White House Bid, Endorse McCain

**Thankfully Giuliani is out!  Of all the GOP candidates, I prefer McCain, although I totally disagree with his stand on a woman’s choice.  =(  But I feel he has more honor then any of the others and quite frankly, the rest of them scare the hell out of me.

FBI Wades Into Subprime Mortgage Mess

**This does not surprise me in the least……..are you?

Maverick McCain gains mainstream support

**I read an article a few days ago that really explained why the rank and file GOPers don’t support McCain even though his voting record is one of the ones that is the closest to be republican. But I haven’t been able to find it.  I did find this one that has some remnants of the 1st article I found. I just wish I could find the 1st one, it really put things out there in black and white.

Started the day off a little off wacked.  Had things waiting for me when I got up and didn’t let me start on things that I was going to.

Then it was off to my errands a little later then planned.  Including getting my nails done…………they were looking rough.

I did do my good deed for the day. I was coming out of the bank when a gentleman asked to use my cell phone because he locked his keys, wallet and cell phone in his car.  He wanted to call AAA, luckily I had my AAA card on me so I was able to get a hold of them and gave him the phone to get it taken care of.   I know that, usually as a female, you shy away from strange men safety wise but it was in the bank parking lot and I like to help when I can……..so I gave it a shot.  =)  It felt nice to be able to do a little good in the world……even if was just the use of a phone.

Watched the State of the Union……..thankfully his last one. Probably write more later on that………but now it is time to head to bed.

We went to our friend’s place last night for his birthday party.  We didn’t really have the motivation to go, but we love him and wanted to be there…….besides we really needed to get out of the house.  =)  It was a good thing we went, we had a blast.  It was very needed.

Hell, we didn’t leave there until just have 2am……..normally we are in bed around midnight when being homebodies.  Last night we got to bed around 3am.  But we still did pretty good on not sleeping in too late, Harold did better then me……I have to admit.  =)

After I did my normal morning surfing of the news, I did a little online work and then it was time to get something done around the house.  When I decide to do the house work that makes you sweat, I like to get done before heading to the shower.  I had some stuff I needed to clean up in our spare room,got rid of a lot and got somethings reorganized.  Then I did the normal litter box attack, then got the upstairs vacuumed, trash & recycling gathering, starting the never ending battle of laundry, then on to the job that I love the results but dislike doing……..the bathrooms.

I think the reason why I don’t care of them is a little different then most.  Mine is because everytime I think I got everything done, I find that I miss something.  And with bathrooms being normally light colored and the attractor of hair it drives me nuts that it seems like I can’t get it all……..gggrrrr  The perfectionist in me…….never satisfied with the toilets…….lol

It felt good to work up a sweat.  I was concentrating so hard on getting everything done that I lost track of time and next thing I know it is 3pm.  So I jumped in the shower finally and my stomach really starts to rumble……..I forgot about lunch, totally.  I couldn’t get out the shower fast enough to get some food.  =)

Then it was on to some lite online work and we watched a few more episodes of BattleStar Galactic from the 1st season.  When it started Harold really enjoyed watching it, I saw bits and pieces of it…….it looked good.  But I saw that it was so involved and with my day job, online work, the shows we were already watching, there was no way that I had time to get into it.  Now I can take the time……..a little benefit working at home.

I’m enjoying them, they are intense, but I’m not sure about that blonde cyclone.  She just really, really annoys me when her character is on. She is just so “inappropriate” (for lack of a better word) on how she acts all the time.  I get that the Dr is ruled by his desires and she holds the strings………..but it is like all she knows is sex…….no matter where that cyclone is.  I guess when I’m watching a drama/sci fi I don’t mind sex part of the story line, as accents………but sometimes I feel as if I’m watching a skin flick on cinemax when she is in a scene, it is annoying to me.  Everything else, I love.

We are annoyed that This Week did not record…and after the results of South Carolina…..gggggrrr  Looks like we’ll be watching the Obama video and the Round Table online.

I’m not surprise that Obama won SC, I am stunned by how much. I expected a much closer race.  I’m extremely disappointed in the tactics that Bill Clinton is engaging in.   We will see if it is causes more problems in the democratic party.  I’m curious to see what is going to happen on Feb 5th Super Tuesday.  On one hand I don’t want it to be decided with that date, because that takes away the voices from voters in states that vote later……which brings up that fact that the primary system sucks and needs to be reworked.  But then I almost wish it will be decided because the tactics are ugly are taking away from the issues.  The dems really need to be united for November.

We’ll see if they finally get their act together.
