We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail! [President Bush]
Good Morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
The President has departed from Washington for the month of August. It will include many business trips. In spite of that, the leftist demonflops are already queueing up to say the President is lazy.
Saddam is suspected of creating a plan to arm Palestinian terrorists with biological weapons.
The SEC has expanded their investigation into AOL. They are focusing on their relationship with a Las Vegas software firm.
And the global warming nutcases have come up with a new one: American warplanes over Afghanistan are releasing huge amounts of global warming gases, and are responsible for the failure of the monsoon this year in that area of the world. Never mind the monsoon has always failed from time to time.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Hi!, Guennie .... I harvested some carrots today, which made me think of your carrot souffle .. *grins*
OneidaM ... what an annoying day you're after havin'! I am sorry .... though it sounds like your work week ended on a high note! I am making Shish-by-gogs ... as my daughter used to call them when she was a wee one. HA! I doubt even I could get those to explode ... or otherwise go horribly wrong ... we'll see ...
Does this mean I have to give up my Happy Meals?????
You and I, OneidaM, are after showing consumer confidence ... doing our part to help the economy, we are. *grins*
We have always had Hoovers....only Hoovers!
..they last & last.
I'm in the kitchen today....making my Sunday dinner for tomorrow.
The cake is in the freezer, and I'm making a ShoePeg salad now...
..then the sweet potato casserole...
..cutting up some of those fresh tomatoes from Atlanta, and a ripe cantaloupe.....etc.
Guennie ... I kid you not ... I used one of the attachments to clean under my washer ... and I recalled your comments about when you had your house on the market. Seems you've crossed my mind a lot lately ... surely an odd phrase .... but true.
AND I WANT A NEW ONE!!!!!!!
I am going to make homemade tomato soup this week ... ACK! ... I will at least try ...
I was thinking about your comments regarding your work ... how you love what you do ... just not where and for whom ... wouldn't it be neat if you could start your own consulting business?!
I think you would be very good at it ...
Girlchild took me out for dinner last night. We went to Brett Favre's Steak House. I had the beer-battered cod (I don't usually care for fish, but cod's okay), hush puppies, cole slaw, and a sweet potato with whipped cinnamon butter. Well, I have half of all that.......the other half is waiting - in my soon-to-be-replaced fridge - to become my lunch.:)
She has her passport; we are going to Chicago on Friday to the French Consululate to get her student visa.
I had a dream last night that I went to visit her in France and she was SO HAPPY THERE..........hope it's an omen........
I told her last week how proud I am of her.......she's come so far.......and she knows it, too. That's the best part.:)
Mozie ... such beautiful words ... you've all come a long way ... and we are PROUD of you!
My brother used to travel to france quite often ... and he loved it so ... an artist by nature ... the entire country appealed to him ...
I wanted to smack him for spending so much money there ... HAR! ... but he was happiest there, I think.
Something tells me your daughter may very well feel the same way. Well ... we'll deal with that if and when it happens. *wink*
It'll be a while, i'm sure, before I'm able to completely relax; for instance, when I picked her up from work a week or so ago, the first thing she said was "I feel really bad." Now, a year ago, that would have meant "I hate myself, I'm a terrible person, I don't deserve to live", etc. etc. etc.
So I held my breath and waited.
All she meant this time was......."They asked me to stay and work a double shift and I said no. I feel a little guilty but I know that if I wasn't prepared physically and mentally to work a double shift it would not go well."
Which made this a HEALTHY choice for her..........something of which she was not capable of a year ago.
I was pleased and told her she did the right thing.
