LOOOOOOONG Day!
Ok, I have survived the day! Barely. Got my teeth cleaned at 11. Went shopping, bought an outfit. It’s cute.) Had physical therapy at 1 (I do believe they train those people to cause as much pain as possible). Did the salon thing, a little color, a cut and the ever painful fur rip (aka brow wax). Took a trip to Wally World, and of course, grumbled when I had to get of the car, in the pouring rain, to move a flippin’ cart out of the way so I could park. Wondered around in circles for a good hour or so, and of course, forgot why I was there, even with a list. Went back to the department store to find a shell to go with said cute outfit, and now I’m home.
Now, while I was at the salon, I heard chatting about the debate last night. Where else to you hear the good stuff? Heh. Well, the ladies were of the opinion that McCain did a LOT better last night. Not great mind you, but better than the previous debates. Yes, it was agreed he had some openings to go on the offensive, and didn’t. But on the whole…. It was also agreed that he probably didn’t win or lose any new voters. Either you were already committed for, or not. It was also the consensus that Barack Obama MUST NOT BE PRESIDENT.
I’m gonna get some ice for my knee now. It hurts!
Oh, while I’m thinking of it, the PT lady told me the best “ice” is frozen white Karo syrup in zip lock bags. She had one ready, and it was really cool. Kind of like those blue get packs, but a LOT cheaper. So, while at Wally World, I got a couple of bottles, and some gallon double zip freezer bags. Gonna try it as soon as it freezes.

Sarah McCain Palin Ciptak
Carter County man surprises wife, names baby Sarah McCain Palin
People can be passionate about their politics. Consider, for example, the name given to a baby girl born last weekend to a Carter County couple: Sarah McCain Palin Ciptak.
While that’s the name father Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put on documents for his baby girl’s birth certificate, it isn’t the name he and his wife originally agreed on. And it isn’t the name his wife, Layla, thought the baby was given.
“We actually came up with the name Ava Grace, and I secretively went and got another set of forms to send to (Social Security officials and the Tennessee Department of Health), and as of this time, she (Layla) still doesn’t realize what I’ve done. I haven’t broken the news to her yet,” Ciptak said.
“As of right now, I’m just trying to get up enough nerve to tell her what I’ve done and hope for the best. I hope I’m still living to tell the tale tomorrow. She thought it was a done deal with Ava Grace.
Ok, this is taking things a bit far, but honestly, I kind of like that name better than Ava Grace. He probably could have left off the Palin part.
Well, welcome to the world little one. You’ve already got some lefty bloggers making asses of themselves.

A Little Advice
If you had surgury 3 weeks ago, have a degenerating spine and allergies, pulling weeds is NOT a good idea!
Yup…..I’m a doofus. I was actually feeling really good today, after starting back on some medication prescribed for the spine problem. It makes me gain weight….one thing I do NOT need help with, so I stop taking it till I can’t stand the pain anymore. I now have bruises on my arms, and I need a nap.
Jiminy crickets! This old age stuff seriously sucks….and honestly, I’m not THAT freakin’ old!

Too Much, Too Soon
Being the hard headed woman that I am, I just HAD to make a trip to Wally World…by myself. Now, this typically is not a problem. I’m a big girl, and have been crossing the road by myself for quite a while now. Ok….a LOOOOOOONG time. sigh… But when you have had knee surgery recently, it’s not a real bright idea to go wandering around a ’super store’….walking….all by your lonesome. I think it might have been a little smarter if I had remembered to take my list, instead of wandering back and forth….”oops…gotta get that”….”oh no….that’s in the other direction”.
Thank goodness I still have some of those semi useless pain killers left.

I can’t decide if I actually want to watch the debate tonight. Odds are, I will, just out of curiosity, but I can guarantee, if the uhs and ums get too tedious, we’re gonna watch Glenn Beck’s Unelectable.

Favorite Quote of the Day
From The Anchoress:
Increasingly Vicious Pelosi reminds me of the chihuahua that used to sit on my neighbor’s porch and snarl at everyone in her rhinestone collar. We children used to wonder what it would be like to just walk up to that creature and boot her in the ass - to send her sailing across the road. But none of us had the nerve, or the stomach, to kick a dog.

Question
Has anyone else been having trouble getting through the Congressional website to write to your Representative? I’ve been trying for quite a while, and have had no luck. The dang thing keeps going in loops. Or I get an error message.
Perhaps they are so overloaded with angry constituents……. Hmmm….
