And time goes on

So.
We have a new President. He did good today by releasing funding for Women's health centers, around the world that have the audacity to suggest birth control or abortion. The block on lobbyist and a pay freeze for his staff is cool, too. I'm optomistic.
In the meantime three friends have lost their jobs.
I fear it every moment.

A kid named Adolf Hitler

And then the new Jersey Child Protection Services Agency had to come up w/ and excuse as to why the kids were taken from their parents. Da. The parents have to be dumb asses. Good enough excuse for me.

Slumdog Millionaire

One of my favorite movie of the year. Go see it

L wordish

We went to a dogs birthday party this past weekend. SO lesbian like. Do you know any straight people that birthday parties for their dogs? Actually it was a lot of fun. The weather was great and the company was good.
Which reminds me, the L word starts up again this Sunday. Spoiler alert..Jenny is murdered. (So it says on the trailer for the new season). We were asked to join some friends at our local watering hole to witness dykes behaving badly as they watch the show. Apparently the issue is they don't order (a $5 cover had to be created) and they don't tip when they do...and then they just order water. Not drinking alcohol is fine, but it is bar afterall. The bartenders make a living by waiting on you. Tip accordingly. And then these, mostly young, will Shhhh you if you speak. Oh, I can't wait.

I changed the template

The other seemed stuck. That technical computer talk.
Hope you all had a nice Christmas.

Merry..

My niece sent us this Christmas card. Doesn't it make you smile?

I almost got hit by a car tonight. We were just talking about hard it was to see in the darkness and rain. I got out to run into the corner store and didn't see a car coming because another was between us. I was being stupid and the car was driving fast. It scared the crap out of me and the driver, too.

And, as you ponder my demise, here are some pics of my sisters back yard after the New England ice storm last week. Now it's all buried under 20 inches of freshly fallen snow.

Fresh Choice?

As I was walking out with my 'To Go' lunch special from Fresh Choice, I passed the help yourself frozen yogurt area. There I saw a little girl licking the cover of the jar used to sprinkle sprinkles (or Jimmies) on your dessert. She was licking it like it was the last sugary treat she was ever going to have.
You will remember this the next time you approach that counter!
