It's Going to be One of those Days...

So I got all excited because I finally remembered to get the camera cord out of drew's computer bag so I could upload photos, BUT now... I forgot the camera. Damnit. So you'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see those photos I promised. Oh well.

Last night was lame... Drew is sick (even though he thinks he isn't - he had 101 fever) and I'm doubled over in pain, so we ate grilled cheeses. I think he has the swine flu and he thinks he can go to work today. whatever....

Anyways, so I was watching the news last night and I am so happy that today is political day because I have a few things I need to get off my chest. So, apparently our president asked for budget cuts to be made -- $100 million to be exact. Well his ridiculously smart and savvy cabinet said they can do better than $100 million -- so they cut out $102 million. Look at what cost savings they did and your jaw will drop. This is such common sense I don't know why on earth we vote on anyone to do anything -- what a bunch of idiots!!! The wall street journal had these things as budget cuts...

• The Justice Department is printing on both sides of paper, saving an estimated $573,000 through fiscal 2010.
• Homeland Security will email documents more often, instead of printing them, saving $318,000.
  

• Homeland Security will also drop subscriptions and start getting news free online, saving $47,160.
  
• The Forest Service will stop painting white vehicles green as soon as it gets them.
• The Navy will delete unused email accounts to save $5 million.
• FEMA will start reusing or selling old trailers, rather than dumping them, saving $3.8 million.

OH MY GOSH -- seriously, how many subscriptions does Homeland Security need. And what all are they reading anyways??? Can't they get a free subscription -- I get them all the time at work... Companies make exceptions and I'm pretty sure the White House is an exception. And why do we need to repaint white vehicles green? I don't think that's a priority... And this is just the start.... I heard on the radio the other day that Congress men and women were going to start booking travel online through Expedia and stuff instead of going through a travel agency. DUH... i swear, I don't even know why we bother voting on these stupid people. and if this crap doesn't make you mad you've got something wrong with you. If these are just some of the things, imagine what else they are wasting our money on. UGH!

Now what I do like is the fact that the president is having the Harvard Professor and the Cambridge cop at his house tonight for a beer -- you know, to bury the hatchet... And apparently people are upset over the chosen beers that they will be drinking tonight -- They chose, Bud Light, Blue Moon and Red Stripe. And while that might offend some people, those choices would motivate me to go to the white house. I like all of those, a lot!

Ok, so I'm out, but I thought I'd leave everyone with one final quote for the day... Leave your comments below if anyone can figure it out!

Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.

TV Recap

And now the moment we've all been waiting for! My favorite TV shows!

Alright, let's start with the Food Network Star --

Melissa is amazing. She is defo the best cook and if they give the award to Jeffrey I'm going to be bummed. Thank the Lord they kicked Debbie off, but she needed to be kicked off -- she is just lousy. And did she mention she's Korean? Goah, WE KNOW DEBBIE, WE KNOW. I can tell by looking at you that you're not white, black or hispanic. You don't have to remind me every time that you're Korean and you grew up in the US... I got that by mere observation.

Alright -- how about the Bachelorette finale. #1, Kipton is so hot. I can't believe she got rid of him -- well actually I can because she's kicked off the good ones all season long. And didn't we all know Reid was going to come back (I hope he made a lot of money for getting rejected twice on national TV). And Thanks Jillian for not taking someone else's proposal -- at least you had to think about it but came out with the right decision. I love how they show pictures of Kipton shirtless running on the beach with his low cut swimsuit and abs, and they show Ed in a flanel shirt standing in the woods. Nice screen shots ABC. Anyways, I like Ed, but that ring is hideous -- I probably would have told him no over that... There was a lot going on on that thing... And I guess I was so worked up over the Bachelorette that I didn't even watch Animal Cops... (I know, I'm mad at myself too)

then last night was the After the Rose show -- but we could only watch that after we watched again how Jillian dumped Reid and Kipton.. Why did they have to play that again? we all watched it the night before... Any why does Jillian always jump and wrap her legs around people... she does it every show. literally. Boy, her and Reid talking was awkward to say the least. And while I know he has a lot of fans, his hair looks like he stuck his finger in a light socket. and my last comment on the show is Chris Harrison is funny. I liked when he gave Reid the rose from that goofy girl that stood up...

And you know what other show I am addicted too -- Entourage. It's like Sex and the City for guys -- but I watch it every Sunday with Drew , oh and we watch Hung, but I can't tell if I'm into that yet or not. I think I'm going to buy all the past seasons of Entourage and catch up on it on my days off.

I guess that's it for now. I found out yesterday I have a sist on my ovary, so that's why I didn't catch up on everything yesterday. Out of all the problems I have, i totally underestimated how much these hurt... BLAH. Post comments below if anyone can figure it out.

I'm finally back!

Ok, so I'm finally back, and I have lots to catch up on. My brother gave me this great idea to have more of a form to my blog, so Tuesday's are going to be TV recap day and Thursday's are going to be political day. Everything else is fair game.

Before we go any farther though, Happy B-Day Ryan!

Ok, so Thursday night I guess I just chilled, and Friday they came out and installed the security system! So now I'm totally safe, and as a matter of fact, I accidentally set the alarm off this morning, so I know it works. And I learned this -- my screens are NOT just simple solar screens, they're wired so if anyone removes them or cuts through them, the alarm goes off, so now someone can't even tamper with my house -- ha! And as ya'll know, we're still watching Duke, who is about the size of a horse -- when the security guy got there, he was like, " what do you need an alarm system for," and then I had to explain to him that wasn't my dog...

So after he installed the system, I met my mom to pick up tile samples, and there was a lot of good ones -- but Drew and I chose one and now we're just waiting for it to arrive so we can lay it -- err, he can lay it! woo hoo. we have ripped out half the carpet in our house though! it looks funny... So then that night, my friends Mandy, Brianne and I met up for happy hour and then went and ate at 1308 Cantina. Everything was great there until we left and i set my hand on a cactus - OUCH! I still had the stickers in my hand saturday!

Now Saturday was an awesome day... Amy and i spent about three hours out at Laurie's, and I may be getting a part time job there -- mostly because I just like it there -- I'm obsessed with every piece of furniture they have. literally. We talked to Laurie for forever, and then stopped by McDonald's and went home. Amy ordered an awesome chair and I got a baller lamp and candle. Then I went over to Scott and Heather's that night for some R&R.

Sunday I went with Amy and her sisters to a winery in Bryan (Messina Hof) -- which was a lot of fun. Somehow one of the girls that went with us I went to high school with... she told me she hung out in the kicker group and then dropped out -- so that might be the reason I didn't remember her.... Hmmm, I guess.

Then I had Monday off too -- so I layed around and cleaned. Which it didn't even make sense why I cleaned because those two stupid dogs just tore everything up again. I swear, any chance of Lady getting a friend has gone completely out the window. She is so annoying around other dogs.

Ok -- since I'm behind, let's do TV Recaps! I'm going to do it in a different post, so read that one too!

today's post

promise to post good stuff tomorrow. i have to go to the dr this afternoon --- long night. I'll explain later!

I'll keep my freedom, guns, and money...you can keep THE CHANGE.

Did anyone watch that idiot talk about healthcare last night -- oh, or the fact that following up on a reported break in was a racist thing to do and the Massachussetts police acted out of stupidity... I am beginning to think our prez is on crazy pills.

AND, isn't Barack half white anyways? I think he bailed on white people a long time ago...

and last, I'm pretty sure all those independents who were swayed to vote for Nobama are started to be way concerned about the way things turned out. WHOA!

Alright, so I didn't write anything yesterday because to be honest, I just haven't been feeling that funny this week. But I've got a few things on my mind, so we'll start there.

Numero Uno -- if everyone likes reading my blog so much, write some dang comments or rate it for crying out loud.
Numero Dos -- Today is my Friday because I don't have to work tomorrow AND I have Monday off. I am so pumped about this!!! And I'm getting the alarm system set up tomorrow so I will feel safe. To be honest, I probably don't even need them to set it up right now, because we're watching Beau and Jen's mastiff -- which is about the size of a horse. I don't know anyone who would want to break and enter with Duke laying around! And I've got to say, yes, he's a sweet dog, but goally it's a lot of slobber! And also, whenever I've gone to Beau and Jen's he just lays around, but at our house he is running around as much as lady... it looks hysterical to see a 200 pound dog try to run fast on tile.... and it also doesn't work.

I slept in Monday and didn't go to boot camp, but went yesterday and pretty much feel like my arms are going to fall off today because we did so many push ups. I had trouble falling asleep last night my shoulders hurt so bad. Oh, that and I had a giant dog panting in my face...

Officially Drew and I made the decision to re-tile ourselves (when I say this, I mean Drew and his friend are going to do the project, not me). So in the next week or so we're going to start tearing out carpet and I can't wait. Between all the weddings is when we'll retile, but I'm pumped about it!

I don't really know too much else.. if anyone has a random topic for me to explore this Thursday, let me know!!

Dum da da dummmmmmm

Ok, today is Tuesday, and there's really not a lot going on in my life, but let me fill you in on what's new.

The Bachelorette last night was somewhat lame. Didn't we all pretty much assume that Reid was going to come back? I mean here is what the possible outcomes are going to be:

Option a - Reid comes back and it doesn't matter, she loves someone else, which means he's going to completely flash in front of millions of viewers on national tv.

option b - Reid comes back and she chooses him, because she seems to really like those guys who want to smother her in compliments and attention and she gets engaged to him.

option c -- Reid comes back and she choose him and they don't get engaged, because Reid has a fear of commitment.

The best outcome is Option D - where none of the three guys propose and life goes on. I don't think I'm such a fan of Jillian -- But I am a fan of Jake -- he should defo be the next bachelor. Or Ed - he was really funny when they showed those drunk clips of him.

Alright, so after the Bachelorette came on Animal Cops Houston -- and I'm not going to dwell on this too much, except for one story that just broke my heart. Someone in Phoenix hog tied a dog, put it in a trash can and tied the lid on and left the trash can in the middle of the road for someone to hit. Well a man stopped to move the trash can and heard something whimper and that's how he found out an animal was in there, and he called the SPCA, end of story. The dog is great now, but what kind of a-hole does that to an animal? If I ever saw someone do something like that, they'd have another thing coming.

Earlier today I emailed Senator John Cornyn to let him know NOT to vote for nationalized health care because he represents me and i want my vote heard. AND if they really want to solve health care, why don't we send all the illegals back where they came from, or start forcing them to pay taxes so I don't have to pay for all their trips to the ER. Now that I've said my peace, let's hope this thing stalls out so they don't get a bill approved prior to their break in August or any other time. There is straight up just a bunch of whackos in Washington messing things up. If they want to stimulate the economy and solve all the other problems, they should give us our money back -- I can spend it faster than they can anyways. Comments on this subject are welcome so long as you agree with me. If not, your comments will be deleted.

So at lunch today I had to go to the dentist, and as usual, they lectured me on flossing. Does anyone else floss because I sure hate it. I mean i do it occasionally, but I guess not near as much as i should. I've got to go back in a few weeks and have another crown put in. BLAH. Cleaning my teeth, not a problem. Crowns are a whole nother issue. I just wince thinking about them drilling out my fillings now. EEECK!

Then we went to lunch at Central Market and I went to shake my lemonade and didn't realize the top was loose on the jar and it spilt all over me. So now I'm sitting at work all sticky. Gross.

things have honestly been pretty dull the last 24 hours of my life. I'll try to step it up tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Oh -- and on a serious note--- everyone should say a prayer for that soldier over in Afghanistan who is being held hostage. He looks really scared in that video and I hope he makes it out alright!
