My husband always says that I couldn't find my way out of a one room apartment. Although that is a total over-exaggeration and completely condescending, I do agree I have some issues with knowing my way around. Put me in a city and I will just assume all roads are symmetrical. I have gotten myself in quite a few binds with that kind of mentality.

Why is it that when one problem is solved in your life, another arises? I don't mean to sound negative. Oh, well, maybe I do but seriously, at any given time in your life is it possible for all things to be going right?

I really think that how you look on the outside highly affects how you feel on the inside. If I slink around in sweat pants and don't do my hair, I just feel icky. If my face looks like I exploded in pimples, I want to stay inside all day. Why for goodness sakes, is there not the perfect acne cure? Maybe there is, I am just have not tried it yet.

I just think Tina Fey hits it on the head so perfectly. I am not a Palin fan and I think her folksy talk is stupid. I just cannot relate. I love it that they are going to do another one and really focus in on that stupid talk.

I feel like a big blob. My weight has creeped up a couple pounds. I can't believe how fast it seems to happen. Reallly, it's probably only been about a week and a half...still, if I don't exercise, I feel so fat.

Why does it make any sense that because the United States did not remove your country from our terrorist list that you are to re-open your nuclear bomb facility? Is that an oxy-moron?

A country that despises the United States.
As of last Wednesday, the North began forcing U.N. monitors from the Yongbyon nuclear plant and plans to start reactivating it.
They are believed to have enough plutonium at Yongbyon to make at least eight or nine nuclear weapons.

As part of our playgroup, occasionally us moms go out for a drink or two. This time, it was a couple regulars and a couple new moms that have never attended before.

Maybe get better performance? There is nothing worse than driving a car that is just put-putting along. I know mine could use a little more power.
If you are interested, check into a turbocharger for your car then. Turbochargers boost your engine so you can get about 50-percent more air into the engine, which means more power.

Parents of children that feel it is okay to let their kids hit back. Really, haven't we all grown up to realize that this solution will not get them anywhere? Or at least, not anywhere good.
