As I sit

home, by myself, while Carol is at Kari's shower, I can't help but think of my little girl, especially after hearing her theme song just play. Have had Carol's Ipod, loaded by Nate, on "Shuffle" and have been listening to some good tunes. Just heard Cyndi Lauper's, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun",and couldn't help but think of Kari. If she ever had a theme song, that was/is it. She can make a birthday last a month, or a wedding last two. Yeah, she's been spoiled, partially because she's had so many surgeries, and we're just happy she's still here. But, ever since she's been just a little girl, she's always had that "let's have funnnnn" attitude. Just a quick Kari memory. Will NEVER forget walking around Italy with Kari.... She had been living in Amalfi, hiking up and the down the steps, kinda skinny 'cause she'd been sick AND away from her mother's cooking, without much money, well tanned, with sun-bleached hair, from laying on the beach and the hostel deck, with a well earned sense of confidence about herself. Anyway, it was SO much fun to walk a ways behind her, and see all these Italian guys get whiplash, as they spun around to take another look at this 6'2", blue-eyed blonde, with the long, tanned legs. Obviously not a local.... Carol and I had a great time, just watching the guys watch her. A fun, funny memory...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
