If you saw Harold’s post earlier, you will see that we have new car. It was totally unexpected and unplanned. We spent 6hrs there at the dealership. It was exhausting. But we got a really good interest rate and everything and really too good of a deal to pass up.So I was totally stressed from all of that and came home to piles of work that totally did not help. My goal for Friday was do to nothing by work….so it made it even worst not to catch up on it.
So I was up late and had to start early Saturday…..then spent Sunday playing catch up. Monday was running around and trying to get my work done around it. I really didn’t get a moment until Tues evening with everything. Today I didn’t plan on spending too much time with my online job, want to work on other stuff, but that didn’t happen. =(
We did find a Japanese steak house Monday…..could only find one and it was on the other side of Portland. We haven’t had that since we left Florida and we craving it something bad. So we meet up with our friend and went out. It was good and will be heading back. Then we got home so late, I was so exhausted yet I couldn’t settle down to sleep. I ended up breaking down and taking half a PM….oh boy, I felt like crap when I got up. I could barely do ride the bike at the gym.
This was my 1st week with my personal trainer. She is young one, but nice encouraging girl. Easy to talk to which is great on distracting me from some of it. I meet with her 2 days a week, Mon & Wed, and on the other 3 days that we go to the gym, I work on cardo. I’m sore, which doesn’t surprise me. What surprises me is that the hour goes by pretty quick, the exercises don’t seem too be hard starting out and we don’t do many of them……but damn, do I sweat and hurt with them.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard that one of the greats is retiring :
Favre to discuss retirement on Thursday
**I’m not sure what to think. I would’ve loved to have seen him get another ring. He always made is so much fun to watch a game. Never loss his love of it. So many of of the new stars are so into the money that they don’t seem to have the love and the heart…..he never loss it.
Atheist soldier says Army punished him
**This so pisses me off. The military, overall, has always had a conservative feel to it and its issues. But the extreme bible thumpers has been over stepping the lines for years, since W has been elected, and is now poisoning a great institution. What pisses me off most is that they have no respect someone believing different or not believing at all.
Group labels PSU class dangerous, anti-American
**More of the idiotic right wingers who wish to smash free speech and thinking. I forgot, you aren’t a true American if you disagree with them……well, according to the foundering fathers…….that is bullshit. You are Unamerican if you DON’T question your government.
Moses Was High on Drugs, Israeli Researcher Says
**I just find this funny and I honestly would not be surprised.
**This is a great reflection of how far women have come and how much farther we still have. Just by looking as what choice Justice O’Connor didn’t have when she got out of law school.
Clinton Chips at the Glass Ceiling in Primary Victories
**This is a good article on the inner turmoil that older women are having with this primary and I am having. I would love it if gender and race didn’t matter. But it still does…..sexism is still accepted…..racism isn’t. Look at just how the media writes and covers her. If she does whatever any other male politician does (most of it I never agreed with to begin with………I hate dirty politics), the treat her even worst then if it was from a male. A woman can’t be strong and aggressive without being considered heartless and a bitch. And that is such bullshit!
What makes it hard for me is that I love what and how Obama speaks……but it is true the press isn’t has hard on him as Clinton, when it comes to questions on his plans. She actually has plans, not just flowery words. The dream ticket is if it was both of them, it would balance them out…….but with their personalities and Bill….it probably won’t happen. Sadly, I’m kind of grateful that OR is a closed primary and I’m not affiliated, because I have no idea who I would vote for. But we did send money to Obama, I personally feel that he would actually do a better job of uniting the country and do the best against McCain.
Well, I think I made up for not posting the last few days. =)
