Last Day of Vacation Time =(
I don’t want to go in to work tomorrow………cry, cry……lol I miss everyone, but it has been real nice to do my own thing, not feel rushed and overwhelmed. Nice to get time outdoors, where I’ve gotten a little sun….but never on my legs where I really want it.
I start off tomorrow with a trip to the dentist to get my crown, so that should be my last visit in a while, then straight to work for a 10hr day. I still need to call the eye doctor and get Harold & myself appointments while we have the insurance through my day job. Then I’m seeing my foot doctor Monday and unfortunately, I’m going to need surgery. My foot is really no better. =( Damn, I don’t want to go through this……….it so sucks. =( I’m not going to be able to work for a week and then I’ll probably be limping around……gggrrrr
The last 2 days of my vacation has been raining so it sucked on pool time. And that was after all the work that Torn did to make the pool nice for us, but we did get enjoyment out of it. =) But with the rain comes a small cool down, so we can open the windows and shut off the air and you get the nice fresh smell. So that is a plus.
It has been very nice not to have to put make up on everyday. =) Much better for my skin and I love not having to clean my eyes out of make up through out the day and then have to scrub it all off at night. The trade off is that I’m a strawberry blonde with all the fairness, so I have non-existent eyelashes and my eyes just don’t pop. I scare myself when I look in the mirror……..lol…….very bland. Women and make up…….damn if you do and damn if you don’t.
We did get some packing done today. I got my china cabinet and knick-knacks in the living/dining room done. I have all of my grandma’s china and I’m use my cabinet for all my sentimental stuff…..such as our wedding stuff, things from my child hood….all the girly type thing. My sentimental stuff always has it place, I know that it may be weird to some, but growing up moving around you end up with all this change that you can’t control. With all my stuff in it rightful spot, I had some control and made me feel at home. I guess it is my security blanket.
Harold attacked all of our pictures……..boy do we have a ton of those and let me give a hint when packing pictures….lots and lots of fed ex boxes. I swear those are the perfect size and the best damn thing for them. Then they almost always fit perfectly unto u-haul standard size boxes.
That is about all we got packed……pretty much out of bubble wrap….we are going to need a ton more of the stuff. I still have knick-knacks in the bed room and I really need to go through all of my old clothes…..most of them will be trashed, not worth giving away.
Holy cow things get dusty in this state. I know I’m not a duster, but our stuff never got this bad. Let me put it to you this way, 4yrs in one house in Indiana of not dusting has nothing on 2 yrs of it here. The construction sure didn’t help…..but damn.
Well, unfortunately I have to actually go to bed at a better time tonight and I have other things that I need to get done. So blog with you later.

News Flash
I came across a few articles yesterday that I thought were interesting and since I haven’t done this in awhile…..
‘Sopranos’ Chase I Wasn’t Messing With You (all related articles)
**What can I say?!?! But WOW!!!!
Just like everyone in the nation we thought something went wrong with the TV.
What I haven’t seen in the articles is that what I liked was that Tony finally got to see his paternal influence over his kids choices. Meadow on wanting law since she has seen her dad been taken away by the FBI and AJ and his finally comment about remembering the happy times.
I liked to think that there was symbolism in where the family went to eat. That even though they have all that fancy stuff and Tony’s dark business, that basically when it comes to family that are just like the rest of us. Simple folks trying to live life the best that we know how with each other. But maybe I’m reading too much into it.
Teen Consensual Sex Sentence Overturned
**I was so happy to see this case overturned. But I’m so pissed that the state is refiling. How fucked up is this? Only in the bible thumping states like Georgia……..give me a break.
Federal Appeals Court Rules Against Bush Administration’s Enemy Combatant Policy
Such detention “would have disastrous consequences for the Constitution and the country,” Judge Diana G. Motz wrote in the majority opinion, which was joined by Judge Roger Gregory. Judge Henry E. Hudson, a federal judge in Richmond, dissented.
“This is a landmark victory for the rule of law and a defeat for unchecked executive power,” al-Marri’s lawyer, Jonathan Hafetz, said in a statement. “It affirms the basic constitutional rights of all individuals citizens and immigrants in the United States.”
**Now before any right-wing nut goes off on this, I believe all terrorist should be jailed and (if mass murder committed) executed.
But I’m a very, very firm believer in our Constitution and feel that this administration has done extreme damage to balance of powers and guidelines set within it. How the hell can you take an oath to protect the thing that allows you to get elected and then trample it all over it in the name of “protectionism”??? Protecting all Americans??
What about the Americans who get caught up in this? Some may be terrorists scum, but they still deserve the same protections and due course of the law. In fact, Bush is saying that he can decide who the Constitution applies to! So if your grandma is jay-walking and they want to make up a terrorist charge then you have no recourse! How fucked is that?
Welcome to the United States of America set forth by the worst President in our history.
Lawsuit: Katrina Pets Executed
**I knew I shouldn’t have read it, but I had to. I want to be informed…..but it left me crying and so pissed at the officers who committed such horrible murder………which is exactly what it was. They would have to handcuff me before I left my babies.
That is the day in the news………
