Thoughts for a cold day


This is my little girl. She got the day off for jury duty, then didn't have to go in. Like a little kid on a 'snow day' Someone else is herding the ankle biters today, and she's doing wedding planning. Last weekend it was house hunting. I think she's really gonna do it. Move out, that is. Gonna be a sad day around here. Not that she won't be back to visit, and not that Ted isn't the best guy in the world for her, but it's just, so, FINAL. As Paul would say, "She's Leaving Home", bye bye. I'm sure all daddy-daughter relationships are special, but Kari's medical problems have made her even more so, if that's possible. Gotta look at the positive side, and all that stuff, but it's still gonna be REAL QUIET 'round here...

Careful, or I just might "threaten" to never leave. I mean with all the money Ted and I are spending on a house and on the wedding, where are we going to get the money for food. Shall we set a standard date for around 7:00 everynight for dinner? you cook, or even better, mom!

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...

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...
