Went to see Toby Keith over the weekend, after spending a good part of Saturday watching the protesters at the Republican Convention.  Talk about polar opposites.  Like I've said before, I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and the right to protest is one of the things that makes us great...but I much preferred the flag cheering, "USA" chanting, soldier saluting group of cowgirls and cowboys at the Toby Keith concert to the often bitter, irate, shrill bunch in New York.  Now I personally feel that there's no point to protesting the enevitable, but if that's how they want to spend their time...

I am Tom Servo

According to msbhivin, I was the Tom Servo in her Mystery Science Theater moment over the weekend. I'm OK with that, so I thought I'd post a portrait!

Daily Dose of Libel...

Jheka of The Daily Blitz has apparently offended some lovely liberals enough that they've devoted some space to vilifying his character. Now I'm all for freedom of speech, and I believe that everyone's entitled to their opinion, but some people just like to go that extra mile...

First Day Of School

My son started the 4th grade today...I can't believe it.  I remember when he started day care and was so sad to see me leave.  This morning it was a quick hug and "bye, mom."  Of course, I'm glad he's well adjusted enough not to miss me, but I realize every day that he's not a little boy any more, he's a boy.  Sure he'll always be MY little boy, but he's growing so fast, and so tall, that it just makes it all seem like time has passed too quickly!

25 Signs That You've Grown Up

25 SIGNS THAT, SADLY, YOU'VE GROWN UP

1. Your house plants are alive, and you don't smoke them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't
turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12 You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff".
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass.

Name the Piddy Contest

Ok, I'm getting worried that the new kitty is going to think his name really is "Piddy"...I shouldn't call this a contest, because there are no prizes, but I'd love to hear any fun pet names you'd like to provide!

Back...For A Minute Anyway!

Well it feels like I've been neglecting this blog, since I haven't posted in almost a week!  Work is really busy, and I've made a pact with a lady at work (and now with msbhivin as well) to get off my dead ass and get some exercise.  And you know how they say that you'll get so much more energy if you exercise?  Well, I believe it, but I'm not there yet!  I've been to the gym three times this week, and while I know some of you will scoff, for me, that's pretty committed.  Especially since I'm having to be there at 5am to get to work by 7am.  I will say that I felt great at softball this week, maybe it's all in my mind...but I did make a catch in RF that was all in my mitt, thank you very much, for a third out...we lost, but it was a great game anyway.  But the energy thing is pretty slow...everyone was out of the house today, and I was reading a book, and the house was quiet...zzzzzzzz.  And I'm not much of a napper, but this was nice.  Although I did have a really vivid dream that I was on the verge of crashing my car...I won't tell you how many times I've rear-ended people, but it's more than twice...I went through a stage where it seemed like I was bumping into people once a month, but all good for the last couple of years (moving objects anyway!  just kidding)  But in this dream, part of me knew I was dozing on the couch, and the other part was thinking "AACK a tree, watch out for that car!  Yikes a telephone poll!"  It was not as restful as it could have been!  Well, that's my update!  Hope you all are doing well!
