Thursday Thirteen -- 02/01/07

Hello!!! And welcome to another edition of the Thursday Thirteen. I had to take a couple weeks off to clear my head, recoup from being sick, watch my Saints lose in their first ever Division Title Game, and etc and etc and etc. :) Here in Green Bay, it is snowing right now, and by Friday, our highs are going to be single digits, with wind chills in the -10F to -20F range...burrrrrrskeees! So I thought a nice tropical theme would be in order.

This week, I am going with 13 Random thoughts over the last 7 days - grab a helmet, you might need one :)

1. We saw gas below $2.00 a gallon for the first time in almost 3½ years. That was short-lived as it went back up to $2.09 2 days later. Oil people are such teases.
2. From the movie Hitch -- and it was so true this week "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Great movie if you havent seen it. Saw it this past weekend, and it has stuck with me allllll week
3. If life gives you a bunch of lemons, either make lemonade, or smell the house up with ripe leomony flavor :)
4. If I have to see one more yuppie toting around a little yapper dog, I swear I am going to throw up! You ARENT Paris Hilton, get over it. Create your OWN identify -- oh wait, that would take effort, what was I thinking!
5. I think its sad that Barbaro was put down, however I think they have spent enough time on CBS, NBC, FOX, ESPN, PBS, MSNBC, CSPAN, MTV, VH1, BET, Animal Planet, CourtTV, and any other channel I have on my cable, devoting time, energy, and everything else --- INTO A HORSE! Its not an ex-president....it didnt win the Nobel Prize.
6. Why is it that we can spend billions and billions of dollars on a war based on oil, however if we want to increase the education budget by more than $1, it will take an act of Congress and will eventually be denied anyway....oh, and since we need more money for the Oil War, your education budget just got slashed by another 10% -- good luck supply shopping this year.
7. I wish I had a nicer truck....don't need an H2 or F-350 pimped out...just this week wanted a new vehicle - doesnt even have to be a truck.
8. I miss DJing -- I miss the music, the people - the fun I had
9. I figured out that it is going to take alot longer than I thought to be debt free...but I shall be there! (damn it!)
10. I lost 7.2 pounds this week in "Biggest Loser" at work....alothough I wasnt the highest percentage, and missed out on $100, I felt really good :)
11. What happened to common decency? I mean just yesterday, older lady at the store, pushing her cart, and 2 teenagers nearly ran her over, knocked into her, and just kept running like it was no big deal! I had to voice my opinion to them about that one...then the parents came over asking what my issue was...their bratty-assed kids and their lack of respect and common decency...that set off a mini-debate. You cant argue common sense with those who dont have any
12. I miss my dad -- cant wait to play golf with him sometime soon. I miss my sister too. Cant wait to come home for a week sometime soon (can you hook that up?) ;)
13. It feels good to be back writing again. I am already working on next weeks edition!

I hope you all have a splendid week :) Keep warm!
