         <title>oh, garfield, your view on Mondays was dead on.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[i don't know why i'm awake at 7:17am. 
oh, wait, yeah i do. thanks Beri for barking and scratching at me to run outside to tinkle. (I knew I should've built a ladder on the side of the toilet and potty-trained her.) 

i've got a sore throat. might be "morning throat" due to allergies, but, i don't think so... i'd been sitting outside on the patio last night yapping with GM for a while --- with bare feet. 

yeah. i know. 

anyhooooooo... 

watching <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036789/" target="_blank">Morning Joe</a> on MSNBC. I dig Joe... I still cannot stand frigging Mika. she's just such a  snooty, smug, biased schmuck. (plus, sadly, i think i have a crush on joe scarborough...) and i like pat buchanan on here. yeah, you read that right. you wanna make somethin' of it?  :}

Beri's back in bed. I am going to sleep again.]]></description>

         <title>I (don't) WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE, I (don't) WANT TO RIDE MY BIKE!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[just got back from my cousin's house. <a href="http://www.gigglechick.com/erin/blog/2007/06/im_a_biker.htm" target="_blank">remember that pink beach cruiser</a> that i'd bought last year (and used 3 times)? well, i threw it into the back of Phooka and took it over there.

yesterday when I was over, my niece Kelly told me that he pink bike was stolen a month or so ago. 

a lightbulb clicked on in my head today and i thought "hey! I have a pink bike that is in good condition - that i will NEVER ever use again - and it's looking pretty ghetto in the garden out back" 

so i gave it to her today. yeah it had some rust on it, and the white parts of the bike needed to be cleaned and the tires pumped up... so within 10 minutes of bringing it over, everything was made ship-shape and Kelly was riding it around the neighborhood. 

I said my goodbye to the bike and told it it would have a better life there.

got a hug and a grin from the niece and headed home :}]]></description>

         <title>okay! okay! i'm awake...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[beri woke me up 10 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. i really need to teach her about the importance of those precious last 10 minutes. she always does this.

so, now she's fed and there are 3 minutes of sleep left and she's now back in bed, yet, i need to wake up.

gotta head to church. of course, they warned us last week that there will be voter registration happening outside the church --- the ones holding the registration are the Right To Life group. So, thankfully, I am already registered, because I don't feel like reciting this Doug Stanhope bit to them before heading in there. (it's a long bit... i'm talking about the propaganda part that starts around 4:30)

         <title>the VP debate is upon us...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[well, if one can get past the part where the moderator, Gwen Ifill, has a book coming out on January 20th (INAUGURATION DAY!) entitled "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Politics-Race-Age-Obama/dp/038552501X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222951005&sr=8-1" target="_blank">The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama</a>"... it should be an enlightening debate. 

You know that I am still torn. 

I cannot stand either Obama/Biden OR McCain/Palin. 

I keep wondering what I will do on November 4th as I walk into that booth. 

Will I flick the lever for McCain/Palin and choke back a little vomit & hope for the best?

Will I push the button for Obama/Biden and have to ask for a volunteer to clean up the chunks of barf that I surely will spew all over the booth?

I'm still toying with writing in Hillary's name - you can mock me whole-heartedly - but, that is the only way that I feel like I can look people in the eye after walking out of there (sans puke)... yeah, people will say "That's a vote for McCain! you can't do that!"... well, actually, I can do that. 

But I'm not sure what the hell I am going to do at the moment. 

I should bring my Flip video camera into the booth and tape this Sophie's Choice moment... and bring a bucket.

In the meantime, <a href="http://sugarnspice.typepad.com/sugar_n_spicea_meeting_pl/" target="_blank">Sugar</a> posted a link to the <a href="http://www.7-election.com" target="_blank"><strong>7-Election at 7-Elevens</strong></a> everywhere.

I wonder if I can go into a 7-Eleven with a Sharpie marker and write Hillary on some blank cups.


I've been "reading everything put in front of me" to try to make my decision...

but, you know, it IS bullshit when Obama supporters <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lea-lane/eat-crow-hell-yes-to-win_b_126712.html" target="_blank">post crap like this</a>... really? it's BECAUSE of the Obamabots that I have been digging my heels in... well, them and the fact that there are <a href="http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">too many shady issues</a>...

Then I look at the "choice" of McCain/Palin and I am just shaking my head. Just why? Seriously? Both frigging sides. 

I hope that Palin does well tonight, not because I am rooting for her, but, because if she looks like a complete moron and gets devoured by Biden tonight, it just sets women back. 

I am a woman without a party at the moment.

I have $2.38 in my bank account at the moment... forgive me for having a bug up my ass, but, WHAT THE HELL?!  Wooden Arrows?)

         <title>bruised.</title>
         <description>man alive, so, the other night i was driving with my cousin michael and i made a wisecrack and he playfully punched my right shoulder. 

i have been in pain ever since. i mean, he wasn't trying to kick my ass or anything, just a goofy "hey, what'dja say that for" type of jab and i can't move my arm without a little shooting pain. (it's subsided a bit from the other night, so, it's not like crazy hurt now, but, jeez, michael, i'm a girl...)

anyway... enough about that... 

dragging gigglemom for an ultrasound today. I'm hoping for a little brother.. alas, I think it's only going to show that her by-pass is either clear or filled with cheeseburgers or cigarettes.

(I had Five Guys Burgers &amp; Fries last night... so, I think that I actually have a double bacon cheeseburger stuck in my carotid artery. It's a good look.)</description>

         <title>... THEN ALONG CAME BILL.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[okay, actually, more like "along came bills"... today was hunker down and pay the bills day (since yesterday's bank robbery didn't affect the wire transfer of cash to my account.)

i hate paying these things... i know, i know "who doesn't?"

but then there's that weird sense of calm that comes over me after i have ticked each vulture off the list for the month and the monkeys are back in their cages and not clamoring all over my back for 4 more weeks. 

i'll tell ya' - this is the second month in a row that i've done the health insurance premium... man that is enough to actually MAKE you sick. i know, i know. it's good that i have it. i know. i really need to start going to the doctor once a week or so just to get my money's worth. 

"no, Doctor, I'm not a hypochondriac... i'm just paying $297.97 a month"

anyway... i use my electric/gas/water/cable/internet/cellphone and all that stuff daily, so it's not as much of a *gulp* when i shell out the cash for that... 

and the gym hasn't charged me in a few months - think that once it re-opens in November they'll be charging... so, my Fat Tax (credit: <a href="http://christianfinnegan.com/" target="_blank">Christian Finnegan</a> for that term) is on hiatus. 

i have to bring my big honkin' camera up to the city on Friday and take photos of Norm for the site/etc -- of course, these won't be Pro-Photographer sort of photos, but, i'm gonna try --- I tend to act like a dork around my clients (a la Chris Farley Show...)
