Simple Update

Just to let everyone know, I've moved on from myspace. I'm a Facebooker these days. Myspace was fun for a while, but part of me always felt like I was on some shady website and I kinda felt dirty about it. I've had a facebook account for quite some time, but never did much with it. So now I'm up and running with friends and everything. Sarah really convinced me to move on. I feel far more sophisticated using it - lol.

Nothing much to report today. Yesterday was our Lunch Club day. Every Wednesday, there's a group of us that meet for lunch. We typically eat on the porch of the TDC building. It's screened-in with ceiling fans, a restroom, a kitchen, WiFi Internet and it's overlooking our bay. It's been way too hot to eat outside the past few times so we've moved to Sarah and Amanda's conference room. We've been meeting for a while now, but now we've added a new element to the mix. Now, each person is responsible for making lunch on their week. We sorta started the trend by bringing pizza one time. Then Marcy reciprocated and brought pizza the next week. Amanda made a chicken spaghetti the next week and it's been a great rotation of fun ever since. Yesterday was our day again and I roasted some chicken and brought salad makings: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, croutons, craisens, pine nuts, cheese and homemade ranch dressing. It was yummy. Marcy decided to bring an appetizer and dessert of pretzel crisps, hummus and lemon cupcakes. She also brought our friend Suzanne. It's Marcy's week next week.

Marcy really isn't much of a cook (she says) so next weeks menu should be interesting. Marcy, if you're reading this, please do not bring potato soup. It's much too hot for soup. Amanda said that she's thinking about making a veggie lo mein for her next time. This is fun! It's fun conversation, healthy eating and friends. If you're local (in PSJ) and want to join us, you may submit an invitation request to: mwwuwf@hotmail.com obviously, your request will be discussed among the Lunch Club and must receive a unanimous vote for acceptance - LOL. Upon acceptance, you will be given your lunch schedule.

Reality TV is alive and well at our house now that all the good shows are back. Now before you start being judgemental about our TV watching, please understand that we don't watch anything until Celie goes down for the night. Praise the Lord for DVR!!! Some of our favorites include: Flipping Out, Project Runway, My Life on the D-List, Shear Genius, Runs House, Tori and Dean and John and Kate Plus 8. Soon to be making a debut is: The Hills, Real World Challenge, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency and American Idol.

sigh.

Other than that, everything is going well at our house. Celie who is 5 months old is sitting up all on her own, eating well, teething (yuck), playing with things, putting everything in her mouth, laughing, being alert, using an abacus, learning her prepositions (and how not to end a sentence with one), learning fractions, and most importantly her chromatic scales. She is a busy bee and has been a hoot to watch learn and grow. Her eyes are starting to turn a different color from the green-grey they were. It appears that they will be brown - our little brown eye'd girl. Lord have mercy she's cute. Her hair seems like it is getting lighter. Not sure there. I can't wait until she can get her hair cut into a little bob!!!! maybe with a side bang? Not sure. I think it should stay short until it all grows in together. I'm not one of those parents who's like..."I can't cut her hair yet, sob, sob, sob."

I'll try to be a better updater - I promise.

Peace!

Just An Update

Hello faithful readers! I'm back with an update. I know it's been a while.....I feel like I'm saying that a lot these days, but nonetheless, here I am.

I know I have a problem. There are things in this world that can very easily get on my nerves. Actually, a lot of things get on my nerves. However, I'm aware of it, and I own it. I have now realized that there is someone out there who makes me so crazy - outside of the far-left media and celebrities.....well, she actually is a far-left "celebrity". I use quotes around the word celebrity because she thinks much more highly of herself than she should. Her name? Joy Behar. She is a co-host or loud mouth of the daytime gripe-fest, The View. When I hear her speak, I have the same reaction as I do when I hear nails on a chalk board - not pleasant.

She is so loud. So obnoxiously loud. She is very similar to Rosie O'Donnell where her point is the only point with any merit and it's the only point that should be discussed and you're a blatant idiot if you don't agree with her point. She only wants to talk about, and by talk about I mean bash, things from a conservative point of view. I get it, not everyone is conservative - Thank God! We need diversity. I have very dear friends who are WAY left or even moderately left. I don't hate them. I don't think they're stupid. I love them in spite of their flaws - lol. But this lady.....ugh.

I just saw her bring up jokes that John McCain made several several years ago. She thought she was so clever and quick with her "I don't fly planes John, lay off the jokes" comment. What was hysterical was the audience didn't think it was funny either and there was this awkward silence and Joy just adjusted herself in her chair and looked at Whoopi like, "that was funny, huh?"

Here's what I don't understand with most raging liberals, 99% of the media included: She would have been so belligerent if Elizabeth Hasslebeck would have said something about Obama. She would have gone on this rant about it. The thing is, nothing is treated fairly anymore. The Jesse Jackson stuff - not really broad casted with a negative tone, but if Bush would have said that word, bar the door, the media would be out in a frenzy.

It's as if the left is totally and completely protected from any accusations, but they can certainly point out any and all accusations about anyone from the right. It makes me crazy. Going back to Ms. Behar......she's so loud...have I said that already? She's not funny and her accent makes me want to kill myself. I don't know how you groom these people to "know it all", but she definitely does.

Ok, I've just spent 15 minutes watching clips from The View on youtube and now I'm even more angry. Someone put this cow out of her misery.....
