week in review 10/2/2009

Very busy week at work, here are the highlights as I remember them.

  • Angela fixed Mexican shrimp and grits for dinner, quickly became one of my top favorites
  • Finished off both desserts left over from Sunday, any doubt why I am overweight would be solved by a visit to our house.
  • Brandon still waiting to hear on his job with the po pos (police) in Kansas
  • Corey making some $$$ this weekend, rented a lawn aerator, makes holes in lawn, and renting it out to neighbors for $50 per. My little entrepreneur! So proud, no other jobs on the horizon but substitute teaching.
  • Tyler and Rachel nothing much new, that I heard
  • CONNECT Group hayride postponed, so Angela's sister's coming for chili supper, oh joy!
  • She had a flat at Tim Horton's today, glad Corey was home
  • I am going to Canada next week for work for 3 days, bad part is you cannot get there from here. Fly to DC, fly to Ottawa, drive an hour, ugh. Repeat on way home. Really bad part, they are small planes all the way, double ugh!!
  • Obama and Oprah could not bring the Olympics to Chicago. Looks like the rest of the world is starting to lose their love for Obama.
  • Pretty funny video to follow, Pressing On!
  • Gatlinburg in 35 days?

Busy weekend ahead

We've a busy weekend starting tonight. I have Choir Practice at the church for our Patriotic musical (I guess we delayed it a week to avoid the competition). Then Saturday is Charley and Abby's wedding, and then Sunday night is the Patriotic musical. Before the music at 4:30 is a cookout and kids fun events, then at 6:00 PM is the actual singing (I sing in a quartet, not to be missed) then afterwards there is ice cream for all. Check the church website for more details.

Going to be a hot weekend, hope it rains, my grass is getting brown.

Thoughts and prayers go to Mary Pat Helvey, wife of my old college roommate Ed. She lost her mom this week.

Nephew Blake recovering from burns due to an explosion. He doing something with black powder when it exploded. Lucky he didn't blow his hand off.

Facebook is still proving a useful way to reconnect with old friends from TN. Some people are spending way too much time on the website. Do not get why people spend time in yoville or farm town. I do not have time for that. I am too busy on Bejeweled. Only Facebookers know what these terms are.

In politics, it looks like the good guys are winning, and people are finally realizing Obama has spent way too much money. He already gave the Democratic congress $800 billion pork barrel projects called the stimulus bill. No cap and trade tax, no health care tax, no global warming tax, no more taxes at all.

Just read that one of the reasons the city of Columbus needs money and is proposing an income tax increase is due to an 11% increase in spending next year!!!! No wonder they want more taxes. Hope people vote it down. When will politicans realize people are tired of giving the government our money.

Wish when John Kasich gets elected Governor, you heard it here first, that he passes a law making it illegal for someone to have their income taxed twice. Right now I have to pay Newark and Columbus city income taxes!

News Flash: Michael Jackson's family is arguing over where to bury the body! He is still not buried yet. Prediction: Jackson family fighting will get worse before it gets better and MJ body will not be buried before Labor Day.

Worse crime of the century: Did you hear about the cemetery outside of Chicago where they dug up over 300 bodies, dumped them in the back of the property, and resold the plots? That is about as low as you can get other killing someone or hurting kids. They had to send in FBI agents who have worked with mass graves before to sort out all the bones they found.
