Manipulative Chicken-Sh*t! (click me)

Why can't he step up to the plate and play ball? Why is he so afraid of honest non-scripted dialogue?

Sweet Revenge

Today at work I received a personalized ID card & request for donation to the California Republican Party. In the mailing was a postage paid return envelope for "my donation" with a tiny memo that if I used my own stamp I'd save them valuable dollars.

On the membership ID card with my name preprinted on it were two head shots - one of Ahnuld & one of Shrub.

Whenever I get unsolicited postage paid envelopes in my credit card statements I mail them back empty in hopes that they'll stop sending the wastes of paper.

So what did I do today you ask?

I wrote on the donation card: "I am not a republican and never will be. No money for you!" Then I drew a Hitler moustache on Ahnuld and on Shrub I decorated his pea-head with devil horns, a pig nose and colonel sanders beard. I then inserted them all into the postage paid return envelope and sent them back to the RNC.

Sorry, I had to.

Freedom?

I stole this snippet of a quote from Bob (http://thecorner.typepad.com/bc/)

"...God’s freedom calls us to self-restraint, servanthood and justice for all. Indeed, the Exodus Passover is followed by another meal—of manna in the wilderness. This story, representing the very first instructions to Free Israel, stipulates that each household gather only enough, so that no one has too much, and no one too little (Ex 16:16-18). We are called to circulate the gifts of Creation among all who need them rather than seeing them concentrate in the hands of an elite. This vision of what I call “Sabbath Economics” is betrayed when freedom becomes an infinite tolerance for the affluence of a few and the poverty of many." Ched Myers

I think I like that. I wonder where we got lost

When everything you believe in.
Is fading away.
When everyone you know.
Has disappeared.
It’s probably time.
To find your coat.
Apologize.
And leave the party.

Busy Bee

This week I'll be out of the house every day & afterwork until Friday night. Warning to all my friends - sorry but I'll be hibernating on Friday night.

After spending so much time focusing on the wedding plans / details it's nice to have the free-time to think about doing other things. The backlash of course is that I've jumped head-first into the deep end of social planning. I forget that I'm an introvert and need my nesting time.

It will be fun to see all the friends we've got plans with - but I'd also like to chill at home more than one day a week.

I'm off to pay the employees..... Cheers.

An Award!

My sweetie won an award today for being the best at what she does in the place where she works. YEAH for her. A cash prize means treats for me!

I love her - even if she didn't get an award. So proud.

Just a few minutes of hilarity
