I am struggling from a total and complete lack of focus. I need to get my act in gear on so many levels. Here are a few things from my head today:
- If I had $5000, I would not blow it on a high-end prostitute (like the governor of my former state of residence for those of you who have been living under a rock). And what the hell could you get for that kind of money?!?!?
- There is a possibility that I might be giving testimony on Monday at the state legislature regarding the most recent act regarding civil unions. It is to iron out any complications that couples have had since the civil union law was enacted.
- I love my civ*c hybr*id and even talked my brother-in-law into buying one. My sister told me yesterday that he likes it, but he wants to buy a bumper sticker for it that says “I’m not a Liberal, I’m just cheap.”
- A certain Norwegian named Marlis will be landing in NYC in less than 7 days with her baby boy. We are so excited!!
- We are having another open house this Sunday. We paid our contractor friend too much money to put in attic pull-down stairs over 18 months ago. The stairs are in but he never finished the job. I’m done with the pestering and actually considering doing it myself. Molding, a circular saw, some nails and some paint. That’s all I need, right?!?! (If I do this, I promise to provide pictures)
- I started we*ight watchers again. I’m treating this week as Week 1. Here we go again. Although the running program isn’t really working for me since I overdid it the first week and ended up taking a week off. Then the time change screwed me up for a few days. Today, I am so crampy and bloated, there was no way I’m getting on the damn treadmill. I think I need to work on my motivation again. BTW - treadmills are so F-ing boring.
- Since I have all of the free time in the world (yeah, right), I’ve decided to try f*acebook and get myself completely addicted.
- No matter your side of the democratic nod, you should read this article – plus Quindlan is one of my favorite authors.
- I am very under my billable hours for the month (hell, the year too) but it’s hard to be motivated. I’m digging the corporate gig, but I haven’t found a grove yet to be totally organized with my time as I am going back and forth from one place to the other.

For $5,000 I’d have sex with him. Damn.
Can’t wait to see your crafy workmanship
I couldn’t agree with that article more. Also, if you notice…any woman holding a political position. a typical man’s job. she always cries. The women cry and the men hold them.
That has always pissed me off.
Whether Hillary or Obama wins…the one taking 2nd seat and I hope that they both do….will feel the sting of it. A black man or a woman. Neither was good enough to make that first seat and although times are changing…it just wasn’t enough.
This year has DEFINITELY set precidence though. I can’t wait for the next election. When Oprah runs

Good luck with your open house!
That article was fantabulous. Our Pastor touched on this a bit this past week…
“… It spoke of our culture’s expectation. Never let them see you less than perfect. Never let them see you cry, never let them see you angry. We see what happens when we break these rules. It’s being played out nightly before our eyes on the political news. If Hillary cries, she is too weak. If she gets mad, she’s too aggressive. If she’s neither, she’s too aloof….”

What kinds of things are the legislature looking to “iron out?”
Good luck with WW!

You have a lot going on! good luck on WW- I’m not-so-secretly anxious to get back on that bandwagon myself. As far as face.book goes, I’m a big fan – not that I get much time to be on it but I love playing the S.crabble game!

Hey Holly,
Be careful with Facebook. I have heard that if you decide to unjoin that your info is always there. Unless you pester them and ask them to completely take you out.
