Forgive me...I started typing and couldn't stop! So as a preamble I am telling you that none of these subjects have anything to do with one another...
I am sitting here watching basketball. And all I can think of is these guys get paid big bucks to play a game. And people (fans) take these games so seriously...my husband has cornered the market on yelling at the T.V. like they can hear him! Now, don't get me wrong, I like sports. I really enjoy football season - especially college football. And I love my Steelers also. However, it is still all just a game. Calm down folks!
I am trying to follow the Republican primaries but can't keep up. First, everyone loves Mitt, then they all love Newt and then when I took two different online quizzes to see who I should vote for I got Ron Paul! I actually can't vote in the Republican primary because I am a registered Democrat because I didn't understand anything about politics when I registered at age 18 and I put off changing my party and in Oklahoma you can't change your party affiliation in even number years. Go figure! All I know is I am pretty sure another 4 years of Obama is not what we need...but I'm still not sure if any of the Republicans would be any better...at least not the ones currently running.
I have four crazy dogs! One keeps jumping the 6-foot stockade fence, one thinks me saying go outside means run and hide under the bed (I always outsmart him after the fact...guess I should try and outsmart him before he gets to the bed!), one who thinks if she lays as flat as she can that we can't see her (she is black laying on khaki sheets...we can see her!) and one who can contort herself to fit through the holes in the fence. We need a new fence that is 8-foot! And, yet, at night they keep me warm and they are always great for a laugh. Without them my life would be boring!
This semester is going well but is definitely difficult. I am taking 9 hours and working full-time. I am taking Management Theory online and then on Monday nights have Fundamentals of Business Finance followed by Comparative Economic Systems on Tuesday/Thursday. I am going to have be very disciplined and have no room for procrastination!
Does anyone else think Valentine's Day was invented by Hallmark? Okay, I know that it really is a holiday for a saint but it definitely has been turned into more proof of the materialistic ideals of our society. I don't want flowers, chocolate or jewelry because Hallmark says I need it and I don't want my husband feeling pressured to make reservations at some restaurant to spend money that I could save for something I really want in the future. I like flowers, love chocolate and wouldn't mind a fancy diamond but because my hubby wants to give it to me...not because he thinks he HAS to do it.
