Iowa hoopla

Last night I watched the hoopla in Iowa. I heard Obama talking about "hope". I liked his speech, and then there is New Hampshire, so we will see what happens there. I sort of like John Edwards better though. I can't seem to warm up to Hilary. Oh I guess I will stop there. I will support that office, but I'd like to see John Edwards win, he's my fav this time around.


Aliens go register. We love our many cultures here, but you have to sign up to live here, you can't just get in for free!

Health benefits should be available to everybody for free. Dynamic doctors need to give a little, and forget their incomes. (yeah like that will happen).

We need to stop bashing the presidential office, and we need to show support for our commander in chief. He won't be in office forever, lets not embarrass ourselves anymore as a nation by trashing our most highly held office.

Have respect, show respect, learn to respect.

Everybody needs to learn English if they don't know it when they move here. I had to learn Norwegian, when I lived in Norway.. if I didn't people would look the other way as if I wasn't there. That was pretty hard for me at first, I felt very indignant.. so I just started speaking very limited (poor) Norwegian and made them work. Sure, it was fun for me, but you have to do what you have to do. So over there, it was either speak Norwegian, or nobody would speak to me. End of story.

(oh, you could speak Danish or Swedish and slide by sometimes, but they looked at you "funny like".)

Everybody should learn self defense martial arts, drink green tea and meditate on anger issues. Disassemble the handguns and sawed off shotguns and turn into the police for cash on the spot.

Anybody at all should be exhiled from America if they are caught with any bombs, equipment to build a bomb, or, if they apply for a PILOTS LICENSE and are not interested in the landing part. Pay attention to them!

Big Brother has my permission to listen in on any phone calls from my house, monitor any computer in my house for illegal activity and should be allowed to monitor ANYBODY'S phone calls, computer usage and comings and goings. If it isn't legal, you shouldn't be DOIN' it.

Drug dealers and child molesters should never be given a second chance. Pay attention.

Listen to your children and believe them if they are trying to tell you something. Pay attention.

Nobody under the age of 18 should drink alcohol or smoke marijuana. It makes them stupid.
Anybody caught drunk driving or D.U.I., should have their license revoked forever. They should be made to attend AA meetings, mandatory fine of a very high amount, and should be shown pictures (evidence photos) of people killed by drunk drivers. No exceptions.

People infected with hepatitis should not be allowed to work with food or in hospitals. No exceptions. If they are offended, too bad. Tough breaks.

Cameras should be installed in the wash hands area of restaurant restrooms, and anybody who does not wash their hands should leave the building before returning to their workplace, and never be allowed in the building again. People who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom are gross and shouldn't be allowed to touch other peoples' food.

Web Cams should be installed in all restaurant kitchens, constantly panning over stoves, refrigerators, and chef counters, pastry counters, to constantly check on hygeine. Dirty cooks go home and stay there. Floors and counters, utensils and dishes need to be heat sanitized nightly daily, and before each use. Keep it clean, chefs, keep it clean.

Anybody caught with a fighting dog goes to jail and their dogs are put down.
Pitbulls should be prohibited from being bred. Anybody that is convicted of cruelty to animals should be dealt with seriously and as a criminal.

Every city should hire ten more police officers and give them cars and free lunches. They should also get in to movies free of charge because of all they do.

School teachers need to shut up about their salaries. Nurses too. They get enough. They didn't used to get enough, but now they do, so they can shut up. No more protesting while people need their services.

Hair dressers who give a bad haircut should have to pay for wigs and hats to the client and the next hair cut is on THEM with whomever the client chooses.

Facials and pedicures for everybody!

Sushi for everybody!

And that's all I have to say about that.

(I should probably drink some green tea myself today.. sigh.. I am so feisty this morning)

Today I feel like Mr. French

I am really sure I ate too much pie over Christmas because I can't button my jeans and I sort of feel like Sebastian Cabot.

929.00 Seattle to Malaga


One of my resolutions this year is to go to Malaga and stay in the villa my family uses.. bonus, only 929,- usd per person, a couple weeks in Spain in April, woot. This is the best time to go to Spain. They have the festival feria April .. mucho dancing flamenco, drinking wine and eating really, really good paella. I am there.

sushi is allowed! I am happy! ;o

A ten piece sushi roll is allowed as a dinner. I am so relieved! hooray!!!!

It starts out fine.. but then.. you see the oreos..

Lucy and Luna enjoy their cob! See Luna's left eye a bit prominant.. ouchies!

Diets.
-Oh sure it always starts out fine. But then you see the oreo bag. Breakfast, 1 oz. dry oatmeal w/ non fat milk, 1/2 banana, green tea w/pomogranate, squeeze of lemon. yum! Snack, tangerine. Ice water. Lunch, salad greens with the ever delicious nutrisystem "tuna salad" on top, more ice water. Dress it up with crystal light green tea with immune boosting pomogranate extract, vitamin c, more ice chips.


Then some saboteur comes home with Oreo cookies in the peel back stay fresh cellophane baglet, and you think.. well, one oreo is like the same amount of calories as a tangerine.. so one little substitution isn't going to make any difference at all. And, I can have a half of glass milk, with the ONE oreo.. so .. ten oreos later, you blew it so you may as well eat them all, because you already blew it for today anyway and start it tomorrow.


So, I have 28 dinner entrees, and 15 lunch and 15 breakfasts. That means 15 times I blew it. wah!

The next time I see oreos, I shall scream and run fast away. I keep looking at my jordache jeans. The last time I wore them, I went to see Jerry Seinfeld at the comedy store. And my sweater had padded shoulders. And I had big hair. ;o
