6:50 am	LUNA This is the 40th anniversary of the landing on the moon by Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin. There were five additional manned missions to the moon. No man has walked on the moon since 1970. Some say we should have a permanent base on the moon because there are mineral riches we don't have on earth. Others say we should only explore there with robots and not risk lives to go back. Others, including Aldrin, say we should concentrate our efforts on landing on Mars. Then there are those who say we should abandon the space program altogether because it's so expensive and the money could be put to better use here on earth. What say you?

10:18 pm	Something that bothers me I won't talk about Michael Jackson's personal. There is no point in talking ill about the dead. I agree with everyone that he was a very talented performer but some of the things people have said about his music really bothers me. I heard Al Sharpton say MJ was the first black singer who was popular among both blacks and whites. Others have said similar things. As far as I'm concerned, that's just pure BS. I offer the following to prove my point. All of these singers and groups were just as popular as MJ. (7 Comments |Comment on this)

11:56 am	This is too weird We have a health care crisis. We have a recession. We have the government bailing out banks for being stupid. We have a cap and trade bill that is going to raise utility bills for all Americans. So what is the House of Representatives debating right now? These things? NO!!!! They are discussing a program of contraception for wild horses so the horses don't have to be killed. Give me a break!!! Current Mood: confused (2 Comments |Comment on this)
8:08 am	Wanna know what really makes me mad? Hearing Democrats talk about George Bush's tax cuts for the richest 1% of Americans. They say like nobody else got a tax cut. They say it like the Bush Administration didn't care about anyone but the rich. Well, the truth is, all Americans who paid income taxes got a tax cut. Tens of thousands were even cut to the point they no longer had to pay income taxes. Many, if not most, of the Democrats in Congress voted for those tax cuts. Those tax cuts did what tax cuts always do. They increased revenues to the government. Yes, under Bush, Congress spent too much. However, what they spent under Bush is nothing like the wild spending frenzy going on now. Current Mood: pissed off (9 Comments |Comment on this)

11:08 pm	Yummy!!!! Darren and I both decided we wanted something sweet this evening. I look in the fridge and the pantry and didn't see anything that appealed to me so we got dressed and headed to the local Dairy bar. I had forgotten how good a root beer float can be on a hot summer night. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:57 pm	I don't think so Darren watched the All-Star game in the living room while I watched Deadliest Catch in the bedroom. Now he wants to come to bed and watch the rerun of DC in the bedroom. I don't think so. I have to get up two hours earlier than he does and I'm sleepy. Besides that, I don't want to end up crying again like I did watching it earlier. My respect for Sig Hansen just went up about 100%. Current Mood: sleepy (3 Comments |Comment on this)
7:56 pm	Irony? Does anyone else find it ironic when a woman is pregnant and her husband takes her out for dinner and a drink, she has to have a VIRGIN drink? (Only my warped mind would notice that.) (4 Comments |Comment on this)
7:49 pm	What Frozen Treat Are You? You Are Soft Serve You are laid back, peaceful, and accepting. You are easy to please, and you enjoy letting others do things their way. People might be surprised to know that you're experimental and funky - at least in your own mind. You are open to wherever life takes you, even if it's very unconventional. What Frozen Treat Are You?

9:56 am	Funny email I got this today from a friend in Kentucky. If Obama gets his way, luxury cars will soon be a thing of the past. They have always been beyond my means, but I took out a luxury car last week.... just to drive that sucker. The salesman sat in the back seat describing the car and options. The seats were of particular interest. He explained the seats directed warm air to your butt during the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat. I commented that "the car must be a Republican car." He asked why I thought it was a Republican car. I explained, "If it was a Democrat car, the seat would blow smoke up your ass year-round." Current Mood: amused (Comment on this)
8:38 am	ACLU I got this link in an email. Whenever I see something like this, I know I'm going to wonder what kind of world I'm bringing a child into. This just disgusts me and it should disgust any American. Current Mood: discontent (2 Comments |Comment on this)
8:28 am	How many questions? I swear Darren has more questions about me being pregnant than I do. LOL!!! Yes we can still go on vacation. Yes, I can still keep working. Yes, we can still have sex. Yes, I'll need to take more vitamins. I think he is more excited by this than I am. I didn't think that was possible. Oh and his parents are super excited too. Coming to visit this weekend rather than just meet them somewhere. They were worried the drive would tire me out. I go to the doctor on Friday. That should give me some more answers and cause more questions. This is going to be fun. (I hope) Current Mood: excited (14 Comments |Comment on this)

2:25 pm	Not sure what to title this post I thought about, Practice makes perfect If at first you don't succeed Patience is a virtue Darren finally gets it right. Any of those would fit. (I'm pretty sure Darren was doing it right though.) So I'll just leave it as it is and say, ( saving your space ) Current Mood: ecstatic (53 Comments |Comment on this)
