Grandma's Birthday



Today would have been my Grandma's 93rd birthday! She has been gone two years. Some days it seems like forever and others it seems just like yesterday. I feel blessed that I had her in my life into my 40's and that she was able to attend my wedding.

There is something to be said for being the oldest child of two oldest children, you can be lucky enough to know your great-grandparents as well as your grandparents.


Happy Birthday Grandma!

Bad Blogger - current ramblings

Somehow I imagined when I started to blog that I would just ramble on and on and on...how could I not since I have soooo many opinions about everything? Well it is much easier said than typed!!

So here I sit looking at the screen thinking and thinking and then mind wanders away...get back here!!

Okay, some general comments about what has been happening in the news:

I wish the writer's strike would be over soon (I watch too much TV, hmm, maybe this is the time to turn it off and find something else to do...wow, what a novel concept).

**********************************************************************************

My brother and mother watch Glenn Beck (mom thinks he's cute). I have to admit I have watched a couple of shows, usually when he has a guest. He did a delightful job of interviewing Michael Buble' and I watched his interview with Jon Huntsman Sr. and have a respect for Mr. Huntsman that I didn't before.

**********************************************************************************

I am disgusted with politics as they are. There needs to be an overhaul of the system, we need to get rid of the parties and make it a popular vote and the top two vote getters become President and Vice-President. Since there are more women than men right now, there should be more women in the politics. I would love to have a woman president, just not Hilliary. I think I would have loved to have seen Ann Richards there. I really just want someone in there that can balance a budget, can get along with congress and that has common sense! (I want a president like "Dave", the movie or one like whatever the TV show was that starred Geena Davis, guess it's easier to write good presidents than to be one). Yes, I also know that most of our problems are not the president's fault, it is congress. There also needs to be terms limits, 2 to 3 terms at most.

Electile Dysfunction : the inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

**********************************************************************************

It saddens me that our young "celebrities" can't deal with their own lives and that there have been several overdoses in this new year. And so much alcohol abuse...back to one of my previous blogs...if I had money do you think I would be driving myself...nope, hire me a good driver, preferrably handsome!!

**********************************************************************************

Well, that's it folks! Take care until next time!
