Egads!

I know life is busy when I don't even have time to blog about the stupid stuff that makes up life. So here's a quick post, just so all of ya who do visit have something new to read.

* Brit: tsk, tsk...what else is there to say? Other than the latest piece I read on her had some doc suggeting that she was suffering from post-partum depression. Maybe Brooke Shields needs to visit her. Not to sound like the cold hearted bitch some of you think I am, but Brit seems to suffer what every other star does. That they are the pay check for almost everyone else. Her mom, her sister, her best buds, etc. Are they really going to tell her to quick acting like an idiot and shape up? Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe that every momma should go out once a week and dance it up. But every night?

* Tick...tock: Less than a week until the city elections. How bad will Da Mayor trounce Dorothy Brown? *sigh* If the media had given her race half a chance, it might had been a good race. And I won't mention the 4-person race in my ward...mostly because I mention it to voters almost every night for 2 hours.

* I use to feel a tad sad that I never lived in the dorms when I was in college. I don't anymore. 'nuff said.

* There's your trouble: Ella's still stuck on the Dixie Chicks. So much so that even I tell her that it's been enough. Funny thing is that because of the embargo against the Chicks, we've been listening to WLUW. I've been a member for a few years and the hubby has pretty much laughed. Of course that has all changed. He's digging the station. Of course, I usually listen during the talk shows. He's a music man. BTW - They are in a pledge drive right now. Support community radio!

* Starting March 1st, things might get a tad quiet around here. I have a new blogging gig. No, I'm not telling. Unless you email me.

* I took the advise given and printed out the calls last week. I was able to write up one abstract that is due March 1st. Now to type it up (yes, I still write, write...as in a pen & notebook) and send it in! Yay for peer pressure!!

* I really need to get our taxes done like today. Hopefully by the end of the weekend. Normally they are done by now, but that's how busy life has become!

* I've been asked to reapply for that leadership program I got rejected by last spring. At first I thought, no. I feel I've evolved past the point that this leadership program can do for me. As you may or may not know, most leadership programs want you to pay them back...Since this is a political one and I don't fall in line, well, you see my quandry. Then I talked to someone else who I thought might have gone thru it or knew others who had and she said she didn't think SHE had enough experience last year. Hmmm...But said that people like us would benefit from it. I guess I'll think about it.

* I got an ingenuiTEA mug like Cinnamon's after seeing her photos. I had just bought their lil tea pot, but quickly realized that I needed the mug for work instead. I LOVE IT! Other than cleaning it out. There's a reason we decided to put tea in bags. If you are going to buy anything from them, email me first! I can send you a gift certificate. (Thanks to Amy & Cinnamon for sending me GCs!)
