Yesterday Phil the Groundhog saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter and that makes me very angry. Who decides if Phil sees his shadow it is not Phil, he is a big rat and can make no decisions of his own. I think the man who decided owns a snow removal company and needed a few more weeks of work in his business, thats the only thing that makes sense to me. I am so ready for spring it makes me mad to think that we will have to deal with six more weeks of winter.
Bailout
The upcoming bailouts are a total waste of good hard earned money, and the fact that it is our (hard working americans) money is a burr under my saddle. I say let the companies that are failing go under and let some one who can run a business and make money take them over, I am not in the mood to have my hard earned money go to bailing out failing companies and that is the bottom line as far as I am concerned, I will never support a President who is so willing to waste our money.
Fresh new start
Tomorrow this great country gets a fresh start, we put into office our next President. I did not vote for him and would never vote for him but lets hope he gives the country a chance to rebound from the last 8 years of hell we have went through with Bush. I do not think Obama was the right person to lead us out of the wilderness but he got the votes and we are stuck with him for 4 years at least. Lets hope that tomorrow gives us a start on a new beginning for this country.
Hockey Game
Saturday we are taking my Grandson David to a hockey game he really loves the Predators and has been to several games with us in the past. This will be his first game this year and I know that he is really excited to be going back to a game. He plays hockey at our house, we bought him a cut down stick and some pucks, he has a blast and gets the dogs involved in his game. I love to see him having fun with the dogs and playing hockey it is all very new to him, being an only child he does not have much of any one to play with and it must be very boring to him. But he will have fun Saturday and I can not wait for the game.
Black friday
This Friday is the holiest day for female shoppers like me, Black Friday. That are the only two words that need to be spoken to let you know what kind of excitement I am feeling as Black Friday gets closer and closer. I have been looking at the flyer’s getting ready and I have mapped out my route to hit the most stores in the least amount of time possible. It is a battle plan that means a lot to me and my family, because this will be their Christmas I am getting on Black Friday.
Gas prices
For the first time in a long time the price of gasoline has dropped below $3.00 a gallon and today I heard on the news that the price of a barrel of oil was down to $78 a barrel, if so that means the price of gas should go down a lot more than it has already. I can not wait for the price to go back to where it should be, I am tired of paying the high prices that the Arab Oil Hijackers have demanded for a long time. We need to drill for our own oil and tell them to go to hell, if we do not have enough then cut back. We need to do a lot more stuff the old fashioned way no matter who it pisses off.
Big time weekend
This is a huge weekend at our house the Red River Shootout is Saturday, being from Oklahoma this is a huge football game at our house all activity stops and everyone gathers around the TV and watches, we can only hope that we will be watching an Oklahoma victory this year. We have had a rough time beating Texas the last few years and going into this huge game as the #1 team in the country might be a burden that the boys can not hold up to. Let us hope for a big victory for the team from Oklahoma today.
Big TV night
Sunday is the night that I get to watch two TV shows that I really like and I am going to get all my work done and have supper ready so I can put my feet up and watch Big Brother and Ice Road Truckers. These two shows do not come on at the same time and it gives me two hours I enjoy. It almost makes my whole week to have one night I can watch TV and enjoy myself. Now if I had a good third show to watch after Ice Road Truckers would make my whole day!
Thank You
This is a long past due thank you to a very good friend of mine who got me started in this blog, Wendy thanks to you I am having so much fun and learning so much as I read other blogs, thanks to you, so much. I miss your blog and hope you will get back into the swing soon. Thanks again for everything and if I can do any thing to help you know how to get a hold of me.
July 4th
Every year on the 4th of July we have family and friends over for a huge BBQ and fireworks display. I wish I could take credit for the fireworks display but it put on by the water park across the lake but from our deck we have a wonderful view. This year we are having BBQ ribs and corn on the cob with baked potatoes cooked on the grill. Lots of beer and soda to wash it all down and the party is on. Looks like very good weather this year last year we had some rain kinda messed up the BBQ part of the party but this year looks clear and mild. Thank you Mother Nature.
