Hello Everyone!!

Been a bit since I’ve done an entry. If you’ve been following my tweets, it has just been the normal daily routine…..working, getting things done around the house, doing errands and the gym.

We have tried to stick with our routines just to keep our mind busy. Mine keeps drifting to Diesel’s family and I’ve been dropping them emails.

It is HOT…yuck. It is going to get hotter…blah. I know places like FL and IND gets hotter and stickier but for OR, the place where central air is not standard, it is hot. If it wouldn’t go past the mid 80s, it would be perfect. But we are suppose to hit the 100s in the next 3 days…ugh! Which also means the gym is going to be stuffy. Need to make sure we get treadmills near the fans.

I’ve been making progress and I hit the weight goal that I set when I started about 18 months ago. So I’m pretty pleased, just need to get rid of some more jiggly. I’m not sure what I want tightened more, my ass, thighs or abs. Ab wise, I’ve never had a tight one even when I was younger and in shape….so that is actually out realistically and I do like my curves. So I think I really would like to see my legs tighten up because I use to stop traffic with them. =) Either way, I’ll just keep with my exercise program and keep counting my calories. That is the only way.

Hubby and I are trying to decide where are next hike is going to be. We’ve been in OR for about 2 yrs and have yet to visit Mt Hood, then there is the Bend area and Crater Lake….not sure. Trying to decide if we want to camp or get a hotel and how many nights. We are counting down the days when school starts to free up the crowds in the parks and trails.

In fact, Harold mentioned that he is ready for fall. The colors and the comfortable temperatures…..the crisp air….the kids in school. =) I love fall, it is my favorite time of year.

Finally found out from my mom, that my great aunt that passed away last month is going to have a memorial next month in FL. Unfortunately, I’m not able to go. =( But mom is going.

I finally got a few months written on our holiday letter. I still need to do the rest of May, June and July. I really need to write them when they are fresh in my mind, but this year is flying by. I can’t believe that July is almost over…wow

I really need to get to my long term to do list…..picture galleries, clean up my hard drives and organize them, back up my pc……. I just really didn’t have motivation for them this weekend, too hot.

Well, I’m going to read my comics online and get to the bedroom, much cooler in there. =)

Dear Law Enforcement officers…

Peace!

Having your actions called “stupidly” is NOT the same as being called stupid… Regardless of what was said.

Unless someone threatens to kill/physicaly harm you, you as an officer of the law, do NOT have the right to arrest someone who is in their own home even if they are saying mean things about your mommy, it’s called the First Amendment.

There is no doubt in my mind Professor Gates was a total dick who overreacted, but to arrest him and charge him with a total BS charge that is dropped the second the DA gets it just because he called you names and insulted your mommy? Puh Lease….

The second it was verified that he was in fact in his own home, the only thing left to do was say “sorry for your inconvenience” and leave, not stand there and argue cause he is cussing up a storm.

How exactly do you expect this will end? Do you think putting a man in his own home in cuffs, booking him, taking his mug shot is the reasonable thing to do for calling your mommy names?

By all means, sue the Professor, get a jury and explain to a jury why a man who was in his own home was arrested for nothing… yeah, great idea, I’m sure you will make millions.

I don’t think the cop is racist, but I do think he needs thicker skin and yes, I also think he did act “stupidly”.
