So, there’s nothing like passing the time away, reading someone else’s blog.  You guys need to check out my daughter’s wonderful blog, http://rachelsrising.blogspot.com.  What a refreshing life this child has.  Well, she’s a grown woman, and has ventured to Chicago, to have a new life.  I feel like I can live (sort of) vicariously through her.  I can’t take credit for her success, she’s a driven soul and a hard worker.  God is with her and she is flying through the air with a striking grace that I have yet to witness anywhere else. (Although… she sort of reminds me of myself, except she’s so much more intelligent that I was!…meaning “book smart.”)  She takes after her Dad in the “brains” department.  The rest of the craziness is from me…plus a mixture of her own brand of ”nutzo!”  Hahahaha!

What is up with T.V.?  I had no television from around March until just before the Olympics.  I should have just turned it off.  But, once you are connected to some cable, the temptation is awful.  I love cooking shows, Bizarre Foods and No Reservations, and Animal Planet.  But, the news has a way of creeping into my psyche.  Not a good thing.  It’s better to watch animals get rescued or taken from abusive owners who starve them, than to listen to the latest “pig” comments by the politicos.  I especially find Andrew Zimmern eating meal worms more entertaining than listening to people claim that Palin is the right pick for a veep.  No freakin’ way, folks!   Obama is the coolest dude ever.  Why in the world would anyone assume that he’d stoop so low as to call “anyone” a pig.  These repubs can’t even remember what they say half the time.  The rest of these fools need to just quit.  I cannot believe what is happening in this country.  WHAT ARE WE THINKING?  Folks, I am usually not so strong-minded when it comes to politics, but I have to say that if this country doesn’t get a clue…and SOON, we are doomed.  Seriously.  “Enough is enough!”  I’m through!
