Another One Bites The Dust!!

Well, I must say, I am tres' proud of the UH Cougars!! Two huge wins, and a possible Heisman contender??? I have never been much of an alumni...my bad I know, but it was never really a school that inspired that, at least not for me. When I went there, I went to my classes and then went home. In my freshman year, I did pledge a sorority, and so had that interaction for about a year...but that got old pretty fast...especially after I met Mike. So anyway, Go COOGS!! Keep it up!! Maybe I should get myself a bumper sticker...or better yet one of those license plate brackets!! What do you think Stacy??? Should we both show our Cougar spirit on our car?!?!! (you can tool around Nashville with a UH sticker on your car...if you don't have room, just take off the "I Brake For Scrap Stores" sticker!!) JUST KIDDING...I already have ENOUGH crap glued to my back window!!

I am SO ready for Fall

It has been a LONG HOT Summer...right? I cannot be the only one who is ready for that first crisp Autumn morning to arrive. You know the one, where you walk out side and you shiver just a tad...your legs aren't stuck to the leather seats...you can't fry an egg on the dashboard when you get back to your car in the afternoon. I am ready to see some Halloween decorations...leaves falling from trees...people in Uggs and sweaters (ok...maybe not the Uggs).

Ok, no...it never gets this pretty in Houston. Pretty much the leaves are green and flourishing one minute and then brown and dead the next...but you get the idea. I love the Fall...Oct through Dec is probably my favorite time of the year. In Houston, you don't really get "cold" until late Dec into Jan...and then it only lasts a week or two, and it starts heating up again. The only drawback to my favorite time of year is that the days get shorter...MUCH shorter. I leave for work in the dark and by the time I get home it is dark...but to me it is worth it. Come on first cold front...or if you live in the South...cool front!!!

It is about the office...

Everyone is in an uproar about President Obama's upcoming address to the school-aged children of our nation.
Let me begin by saying, I do no like Barack Obama, and I certainly did not vote for Barack Obama. I do not agree with his politics, his agendas, or his socialist ideas on how to manage a country. That being said, he is still...by popular vote...The President of The United States of America. He deserves a modicum of respect from both parent and child alike. While I will agree that it seems strange to address our children directly when we, the parent, are not around, I would take this chance to remind everyone that George Bush Sr. did the exact same thing in 1991. This man cannot be dumb enough, or so full of himself, to think that he will be able to deliver an address that is in ANY WAY political in nature, and not suffer irreparable damage. I think he will become the "antichrist" in both Republican and Democratic minds alike (well except for maybe Nancy Pelosi).
The White House has now stated that it will release the transcript of what President Obama will say to our children on Monday, PRIOR to the address on Tuesday. I would suggest that evey parent read it before they decide to take their children out of what COULD turn out to be a very beneficial address from the President of The United States to all school age children on the importance of education and staying in school. Believe me, if I sense any attempt at "indoctrination" or political persuasion, I will choose NOT to let my children listen...but I am willing, out of respect for the office, to give him the chance to persuade my child to stay in school an pursue and education. Just my two cents...L
