I thought that I just did a blog post 2 days ago and it has actually been since Sunday.  Time kind of flew…..wacky.

I’m trying to remember what I did Monday and I’m totally blank………

Tuesday was an attempt to get some house work done and with my online work……..didn’t work as well.  But I made some progress.

Tuesday night was a horrible night for sleep for both Harold and myself.  We don’t know what happened but when we went to bed we were wide awake. Laid in bed for hours and looked at each other at 2 am and found that we were in the same boat.  It was horrible…….

So Wednesday, we didn’t try to do too much, way too out of it.  Harold caught up on some sleep, I did somewhat, but not as much as I would have liked.  Didn’t help that Reggie decided to put his nose in my face at 1am and meow at me purring.  I go to pet him and he decides he wants to bite my finger……he seems to like playing my nails.  Strange cat……..lol……but a cutie.

I use quickbooks for my accounting of receipts but there is a lot of it that I don’t use.  I discovered the reconcile part of it so I’ve been going over bank statements for this past years (because the bank always seems to be off from me) and trying to work it.  I actually got a few months done, but my brain fried on July with the $90 difference……

I have a few other things I need to catch up before I really divide back into it.

Tomorrow I’ve got to get my nails done, a week late.  Then I need to some more work done.

Richardson Ends Campaign Bid

**I’ve always liked him and his experience.  But he just doesn’t seem to have the presence for a national campaign, sadly.  I just hope that who ever gets in office (Dem, of course) that they utilize his know how.

Tiger OK with ‘lynch’ remark, but Sharpton ready for battle

**Why is when Sharpton gets involved in something I totally turn out and become a skeptic?  He becomes such a drama queen that I can’t take him serious.  Even when it is a serious issue……..which is sad….  He has marched with Martin Luther King, Jr but he doesn’t bring people together with actually dialogs like King did.  I think that is why I don’t care for him, how can this country have serious conversations and work to improving racial relations when all you do is divide people?

Caretaker Caught On Video Repeatedly Hitting Disabled Man

**How screw are people that you have to hit a helpless person?  That woman needs to been slapped & hit just like she did to them…..g.gggrrrrr

The snow we got earlier is long gone, but I just found this article on one of our local channels :

More snowflakes expected to fall 

 Here are some more statistics – the last time we had snow on Christmas Eve was back in 1998 and the snowflakes we saw this year on Christmas Day is only the sixth time since 1940 that it has happened.  In fact, the chance of a white Christmas for downtown Portland is just 1 percent.

So for our 1st Christmas here we were lucky enough to get snow!  I’ll take that as a good sign………..because when we moved to Florida, we got hit with 4 hurricanes in 2 months…….with 2 of them hitting us directly within 3 weeks…….not a good sign.  =)

Even though I got up a little late, I got some things done on top of a few errands.

It was mainly online work that I got done.  So I have my list set for tomorrow to attack.  I have a few things that I’ll need to get done by Sunday.  Sunday will be my get things cleaned around the house and start on my packing.  So I won’t be online much.

It feels good to get somethings done, just hate that I was stuck in the office to get it done.  But that is ok, I won’t be in it for 10days soon enough.

Watched the GOP debate, a lot of tap dancing and it was fun to see them tangle with each other.  I don’t care of all of McCain’s views……..right to choice and the war but he is the only one of the bunch that I like.  When he is being himself and straight talking.
That sucks…..my mind just went blank!  Damn, I hate that.

Iraqi Contractors Frozen Out of U.S.

***I understand about needing to be careful and security, but damn it………..these people risked their lives to help us.  We OWE them.  This country has lost it’s connection for who we are suppose to be.  I so hope that the next administration will correct the course we are on.
