Registered Voter On Board

As Dan said, “Holy Crap! that’s when you know it’s bad! Cozmo is getting active!”

No, it’s not Tina Fey this time

No, it’s not Tina Fey this time. It’s the actual Vice Presidential Nominee saying these words.
(This is all some horrible, horrible dream. Right?)

Followups and Sarah Palin Rant

1.  Grandmom’s on the verge…. probably won’t be much longer.  I went to see her today, not that she will remember due to the morphine.
2.  I’ll be going back to work tomorrow.
3.  The alarm clock watch I bought doesn’t work for me.  Will be returning.

4.  Why didn’t anyone tell me I could still register for this election???  Information I received earlier in the year led me to believe if I wasn’t registered for the primaries, I couldn’t vote in the general election.  But I can!  So I filled out my registration form and will be eligible to help vote Barack Obama in.

This stupid election is way too close for comfort and it’s all because people are so blinded by Palin’s American Idol nomination.  Look, it’s America and it’s great that we are all able to become president or vp.  It’s one thing about our country that’s pretty cool.  But just because “ANYBODY” can be it doesn’t entitle any ol’ person to be it.  Come ON!

I mean, let’s erase the gender here and ask yourselves who’d be better suited for this job:  The CEO of a Fortune 500 company or your kid’s elementary school gym teacher?   The District Attorney or the guy who just sliced your cold cuts at the deli? 

Now, I’m not comparing Palin to a high school gym teacher or a deli clerk.  I’m simply saying not EVERYONE should be viewed as someone who should be put in The White House.

By the way, she believes in Creationism.  ‘Nuff said.  But if that wasn’t enough, here are a couple other reminders of how Sarah Palin prefers to think:  Dinosaurs didn’t exist, the Earth is less than 10,000 years old, and if the love of your life gets raped, if Palin had her way, your love would not even have the option to CHOOSE to continue to have that baby or not.  But hey, she’s entitled to her opinion.  If only there was some assurance she wouldn’t (o)press her opinions onto us in the form of laws.  Hmmmm… No, there’s no assurance of that.  Get away from me, crazy lady;  you and your gimpy, old, robotic dad—  errr, I mean running-mate.

Final Night Before Surgery

My final night before going “under the knife” — or in this case, the laparoscope.
Aaaaannndd…… I got nothin’.

ttyl.

I would LOVE a REAL vacation

I added a search bar to the left.  You’re welcome!

Soooo… Monday is my surgery for the removal of my gall-bladder and well, I couldn’t care less.  I guess I’ve got bigger things on my mind.  But moreso, the whole thing’s just been a huge inconvenience leading up to now.  Aside from the cripping stomach aches the stone would give me and the ER trip which made me miss a day, I’ve had to intterupt my work day 6 times in the last 7 weeks to see doctors or get tests done.  Gimme a break.

So here we go again, another year’s vacation time used up by sitting at home recovering from something.  And next year’s out of the question, too, if I’ll indeed be out 8 weeks or so due to the possible heart surgery.

Anyway, this little thing on Monday isn’t scaring me at all.  I am looking forward to a little time to myself and hopefully I’ll be well enough to sneak away for something.

Oh – and this cancer scare with my grandmom… the tests will be back tomorrow I think.  If it turns out it’s cancer, it will be the first instance of cancer in my family that I know of.  Pretty weird and interested in that respect.
