Our VP visit went well at work today.  We had to do some changes, nothing major just busy stuff.

After work I broke down and got me a few different books on Harry Potter…..I can’t wait to get into them.  If I ever get time that is.  Hell, I’m 3 weeks behind on my Time mag, 2 mags behind on my Ms. & 1 mag behind on my Bitch.  I’m piling them up in my laptop bag for my trip to Indiana.  Especially since Harold’s flight takes off about 4hrs before mine, so hopefully that I can get them read……I’ll probably end up napping some.

I did catch up on some work here for the store, surprisingly.  When I finally get a breather from it I feel kind of lost.  What I need to do is refocus on things that I need to for our own business.  Thinking of organizing the receipts for quickbooks entry, so I can do a little at a time.

The only good thing with being so busy is that it makes it easier to deal with the fact that Harold isn’t here.  =(  But when I head to bed, I miss having him next to me.  This may not sound very nice, but once he comes to bed I can settle down and crash.  If he doesn’t I end up staying up longer then I should just because he isn’t there.  It is if I’m waiting for him to come to bed.  He told me that he misses warming his feet up on me and that is it………..grin  The bum.  At least tomorrow night I’ll be cuddling with my prickly husband…..grin

**Newsflash

Supreme Court ruling raises ‘08 stakes

***Not even an exception for the woman’s life?!?!!?  WTF?!?!  I’m going to be really pissed off if the dems blow the next election.  We can’t have another conservative administration like this again if us women are going to maintain what rights that we have.  Bushie 2 has already been removing our Bill of Rights……ggrrr

Well, well………what a day off.  Didn’t get to bed as early as I wanted………normal  Then got up early this morning to get Harold off to the airport.  It is weird not having Harold around, but at least I’m working the days that he is gone and it is not a holiday.

After I dropped him, I stopped at the store on my way into town and picked a few things, mainly litter & cat food….the spoiled brats.  Then it was on to home.  I had a friend waiting on me to take care of some business.  It took longer then expected, but then I had to head to the bank to take care of other parts of the business.

By now I’ve totally lost track of time and needed to get some sort of food in me……so a quick stop at bk just for 1 burger to be tossed into me.  And then on to staples, finally got me the new quickbooks program that I needed.   Looks nice, what I’ve seen.  I haven’t been able to dig in to as much as I would like……but I will get my moment.

When I got home, it was to attack more of the same work since the info I had for the bank was incorrect…..icks I finally got all my reports and data entries done for rude.  I still need my do all my receipts…the pile keeps getting bigger.

I’m just so totally overwhelmed……..it wouldn’t be bad at all if I had more time.  I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I just want more time to work on it.

I hate the racism in that comment that Imus made and I hope that it really brings up the double standard that is in hip-hop.  I really love the beat and the rhythms of hip-hop, but I HATE the sexism in it.  That is why Imus thought he could get away with it…..he was a heavy weight and this crap is accepted is in the mainstream hip-hop.  I don’t believe Imus is actually racist and meant it to be, he is a shock jock and thought he was being funny.

As a feminist, I knowledge the racism in that comment he made, but I really see the sexism in it.  That is how hip-hop culture treat their women and it really pisses me off.  I do not like seeing my sisters of any color being treated that way.

One of my favorite hip-hop bands growing up was Salt-N-Pepper, they spoke of sexual and individual empowerment. They didn’t put up with being treated like “hos”…..it was on their terms, strong terms.  That is the hip-hop that I’ve always enjoyed.

Maybe with the focus on race issues, it will help bring attention to this :  Report: Black Men Mired In Social Crisis

This is so sad and as been obvious for years, but no one wants to see it.  =(

This is depressing and needs a moment of silence for the ones who have lost their lives in the worst shooting ramapage in American history : At Least 33 Killed In Va. Tech Massacre
