Just my rants, raves & reflections on things that happen around the world.

Catching Up

Dad called me the other day to check on my finger & to make sure I was taking care of it right. =) Since I hadn’t gotten to getting a splint (I was taping my finger to another) Ron at work made a splint for me to use, that was so sweet of him. =)

Today was my day off. We had to break down and do the grocery shopping…..nothing like being in a store with annoying people. =(

We did get a bike ride in yesterday before I headed to work & I got some time on the treadmill today. Felt good to get some exercise, I have to work early the next 2 days & won’t be getting it in.

We did get the kitchen painted finally. I’m very happy about that. =) Now the major areas of the house are done, other then putting in new floor trim & painting the old trim. Now we just need to figure out what colors we are going to do for the office, master bed & the spare bath. Once we get all that done we can take pictures for the family. =)

**Warning………Political Vent

How many more Mike Browns are out there?

***Here is some of Bush’s cronism……gggrrrr Nothing like hiring your friends, who cares if they don’t have experience and cost lives, money and security….

Speaking of cronies…………Bush Taps Close Ally For Court

  • Card, in a 2003 interview with the publication Texas Lawyer, said Mr. Bush’s affinity for Miers is clear in the frequent invitations she receives to visit the presidential retreat at Camp David, “a privilege that is not enjoyed by a lot of staff.”

    “She’s a quiet, highly respected force and someone who is seen as not having any agenda other than the president’s,” he said

  • **This is what worries me…….other than the president’s…….she can’t have that agenda…..the Consititution is the document you go by……..not some president’s agenda….gggrrr

    **I found this link on AmericaBlog. I know I keep posting on what happened in New Orleans and the fall out, but I’m just amazed at how bad the response from the local to the federal level failed.

    On top of all that, this adminstration has gotten away with murder with the pr spins. I’m hoping that one of the small positives that will come out of this is that the press will start taking Bush II to task, it is needed. If this had happened to Clinton or Gore, they would’ve been all over them like a dog with a bone. The press needs to get their damn teeth back and start demanding the truth and consequences for their actions.

    (ps….see what happens when I’m actually off and at home……a lot more posts………grin)
