Happy Friday!!!

Good morning darlings!! Hope your Friday is treating you well!! Something about Friday just makes me happy. It's the sheer knowledge that I won't be here tomorrow that puts a smile on my face and some pep in my step. So, Alexis doesn't need to provide me with my necessary mojo today...

So, last night I was sitting on my couch eating my 1 point soup when Nelson just lifted his little leg and peed... while staring right at me. I think I even caught a smirk on his face. Little Bastard! He is SOOOO lucky he's cute! So I did my best to punish him because I was furious about this. The problem is that when I punish 1 dog the other 2 go into a panic thinking they're in trouble too. Thatcher starts smiling, Reagan starts barking, and its all out pandemonium. I eventually made Nelson go on the back porch as punishment. I know this doesn't sound bad, but it was really cold and dark and the little man gets scared. I felt bad after about it after about 5 minutes but held out until the 10 minute mark. Then we had a discussion where I attempted to explain that "mommy isn't doing this because I don't love you... mommy is doing this because I do." I think he missed the point entirely and was just happy to be inside. But the nerve of this 11 pound little menace to just throw his leg up and pee while I was looking at him still makes me irate. If I had the money I would invest in some of these gadgets they have where they claim you can talk to your dog and then understand what your dog is saying. I already have a pretty good idea of what mine are saying, and I'm pretty sure it involves a detailed plan to drive mommy mad.

Anyway, so there is apparently some sort of conspiracy out there that Katie Holmes did not actually run the New York City Marathon in it's entirety. I am not sure how one gets to the bottom of this, so I am asking my friend Erin to click on this link and specifically look at some of the comments, since she is the only person I know who has actually run this marathon. This is quite the conspiracy I learned last night, and while I clicked on several links from this link, I just couldn't decipher the "technological chip" and "split time" lingo they were throwing around. Sounds like a fun little conspiracy theory, though. This of course is coming from an SP (Suppressive Person). Ha Ha!!

Also read where Brody Jenner denied making out with Paris Hilton and then said that he did have a girlfriend, and "NO her name is not Lauren Conrad" -does he have to be so rude about it?? I don't want to have to remove him from my "list" but if he starts being mean to Lauren I won't have a choice!

A new entry into the Dad's Hall of Shame occurred when a man physically forced his son to wear a Packers Jersey last weekend by tying him down and taping him to a chair. To the kids mom who turned the dad in, and to this little boy I say... GO GIANTS!!

It appears that a Nevada Judge dismissed the lawsuit that would have prevented participation in the Nevada Caucuses. THANK GOODNESS!! This means that even if Obama loses, he will have lost fairly. This news apparently upset ole Billy a little as he went off on a reporter about it. Also before you click on that link, please note that because the Caucuses that are held in this particular county which contains Las Vegas have significantly more people in it, they are given additional points for their Caucus winner. They are given 5 extra points for their candidate of choice. This is, of course, because they outnumber those participating in the more rural Nevada counties 5 to 1. Makes sense, and was no problem at all before. I'd like to again note that all parties were gung-ho for these Casino Caucuses before one candidate was endorsed by the Union containing the majority of the workers who would be participating, and then the lawsuit came about to prevent their participation. You gotta love them politics!!

So, has anybody else out there seen that show on A & E called "Paranormal State"? Well it is simply the most frightening show on television. I watched the first episode with Brad and then haven't been able to get the nerve up to watch anymore of them. I am literally petrified to watch anymore of them. The one I saw was about a little boy and it was like the 6th Sense for real. I've got goose bumps even thinking about it!!!

What a great idea to have Lindsay Lohan serve 2 days of community service at a morgue!! Wonder if she could bring Britney along for the life lesson??

OK... SO I SAVED THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR LAST!! Now, nobody go and get your hopes up, but it appears that the writers may have reached a "tentative" agreement and may begin writing again soon!! This of course, means that I will live after all!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!

As a total BONUS, my movie comes out today!! Now even though this is truly my story on film, I was sadly unable to attend the premiere, but am definitely going to see this over the weekend and am SO excited!!!

I couldn't step on the scale this morning, so I will post my week 2 results either after my lunch break or after work!! Talk to you then sweet-peas!!

AT A LOSS...

*** PLEASE NOTE POST WAS WRITTEN LAST NIGHT & NOT POSTED DUE TO ALCOHOL ***

So...
evil won out over good this time around. It is certainly not over, nor is my date with beer. I just saw on the news that she, who shall remain nameless won because of the female 40+ vote and the Independants who figured Obama had it in the bag opted to help McCain instead, or other questions asking if New Hampshire voters lied to the pollsters to be more politically correct.



Basically, I think if this likeable guy...


would just drop out of the stupid race already, Obama will win the nomination. Surely Richardson, with his low numbers will, but Mr. I'm Going All the Way to the Convention Edwards is giving me a headache!! And now, as I listen to the pundits tell me that the reason she won was because women over 40 felt badly for her when John Edwards decided to tag-team her with Barack, which appeared to be a surprise to Obama himself during the debate on Saturday, followed of course, by the crying incident yesterday all caused older women to vote for her because they felt the boys were being "mean" to her. And they voted for her in masses...

I KNEW THAT BS CRYING ACT WOULD WORK WITH PEOPLE!!

In addition, the sad part is that if Edwards had decided to tag-team Obama with Hillary at the debate, than Obama would have won tonight. I literally was devastated tonight at this result, and I absolutely despise her and her "don't treat me like a girl unless I cry and make you feel bad for me and remember that I am one" self that I could scream! But I live in an apartment complex and don't want a noise complaint to assist in the current rainstorm on my parade so I'll refrain. But if ANYBODY, and I mean ANYBODY thinks that Hillary Clinton will be able to beat ANY Republican in the general election they are crazy. She is corrupt and has FAR too much baggage. People are OVER the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? monopoly of corruption over the last 2 decades, and it will surely take a strong and different Democrat to beat the Republicans. Even now, on Anderson Cooper (he is so hot, even though I am pissed off!!) they are discussing whether race was a factor in offsetting the polls. A normal person would be appalled at this, but I am from Tennessee where Harold Ford lost to an idiot solely because he was black...

Regardless, I am NEVER setting foot in the State of New Hampshire, because they believed a crying, wo'es me, and overdone Hillary instead of who they SHOULD have voted for. Sorry if that offends, but I seriously will not vote for her no matter who she runs against. If she wins the Democratic Nomination then I will again be in my parents good graces and vote Republican. Mark my words.

Anyway, this discussion makes me physically ill (technically not yet, give me a few more hook-ups with my beer!!) but I will not be discussing this anymore.

I would like to add, based on the fact that he has received less than 5,000 votes TOTAL in TWO primaries, what is this man still doing in the race?? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE him and I have NEVER voted against him, but do you think he is just bored because of the writers strike and looking for something to do?? I don't get it!!

anywho... i am now moving on!!

So, I would like to share my napping incident with y'all from earlier today. Well whoever said that three heads were better than one is CRAZY... especially when those heads are Thatcher, Reagan and Nelson's.....



...There I am amidst the midday nap of a lifetime, and then BOOM!!! Dogs Gone Wild was occuring in my living room!! You seriously would have though someone was trying to break in and I got a little nervous! Alas, as I bounded down the stairs from my room I found NOTHING! No dogs outside, no burglar, no people in the parking lot, no dog catastrophe going on in the kitchen... NOTHING!! Just commotion for the hell of it!

I was pleased.

I scolded to the best of my ability (ability being poor because they are my babies after all!) and returned to my nap. No sooner was I entering
REM than chaos again ensued. I can't even believe I gave it another shot, but I did. This time I swear I was amid a dream about Vinnie Chase trying to seduce me... then WHAM!! Glasses broke, a coffee table turned over, an all out three-dog-freakout was going on!! I desperately searched for reasoning behind this madness, and I unfortunately soon found out...

THE WIND

The wind was blowing hard enough that it made it sound like somebody was at the door. Nothing that would come remotely close to waking up an adult, or even a normal dog, but my kids are different. Any noise, anywhere, anytime... I mean if they hear a car door opening it is complete pee-pee-in-the-floor madness. And I was mad... like furious. I am still not sure I am over it.

I am SO completely over this day. No more news, no more barking... still got beer so it's a good thing I got such a
great movie to watch!! HaHa!!

Happy dreams to all, unless you are
Hillary Clinton!!

baxter :-(

PS- Do you think I could just put in "A LOT OF BEER" into my weight watchers journal & they would just calculate it?? ...Cause I lost count awhile back!!! :-)
