It's almost Summer and the livin' is crazy
I'm up before the rest of the house. It's nice and cool downstairs. Won't be long before the temps rise to about 95. I don't understand the heat index. It's 96 but will feel like 105??? No matter how they say it it's HOT!
Two days into summer vacation for the kids. One is grumpy and the other is spending her days/nites sleeping late and staying up late. Hey, it's expected.
Trying to ferret out some info on the huge federal health care situation. Fifteen years ago when Hillary was in charge we knew nothing about the plan and the costs were in the billions. Today we still don't know much and the costs could rise to 2 trillion. Yikes. Why does the federal government have to get into every aspect of our lives? Where's the freedom of choice gone? I don't hear the "right" standing up to the"left" very much.
What's up with ABC news doing essentially an Obama health care plan infomercial from the White House this coming week? I ain't gonna watch that crap. Of course it's going to be biased. Why can't three reporters from three channels do it?
Remember when President Truman took three reporters around the white house after the renovations? No, I wasn't there, I saw the program on TV. PBS I think.
Off to make Bill's ice cream Father's Day cake.
Keep cool.

$300,000 photos never to be seen
I just heard the photos taken of Air Force One over NYC last week (scared the HELL out of NYers who saw the jet) will not be used. Lovely, peachy. Another waste of tax payer money!! Sure ticks me off. If "I'm Sorry" would pay the bills I'd accept as many as the Federal wanks give me.

Shoes Glorious Shoes...
Two pair of shoes in one day. I'm modeling the red sandals...may have to buy a new wardrobe just to show off these babies! The sneaks are a men's size 9.5. I thought the contest was for women's shoes. WRONG. So they're up for grabs. There's a teenager who works at the VLM who love shoes and maybe he will have the right size tootsie. Will send him a photo.
Rain, rain go away for today and tomorrow. Violet's rescheduled tennis match is today and it'll be rained out again. Drat.

Tweet tweet with the celebs
I can't help thinking of tweety bird that cute yellow fowl when I visit Twitter. Did you catch Ashton Kutcher and the P.Puff Diddy "ringmaster" on Larry King Live last night? Geez does the LK look terrible. Anyway I started following Ashton to make sure CNN (can be biased news network) didn't win the race! I also am following Oprah and would encourage you to join the network. Ashton said something which I hadn't thought about. He said to some twitter is an ego site....think about it......anyone in the world with access can read your thoughts. You gotta keep it brief though.
The vegetable garden is in! Maybe we'll have tomatoes in late June. Yellow squash, zucchini and assorted herbs round out the selection. Will post a photo when things start to sprout.
Walt Willey aka Jackson Montgomery from All My Children soap will be at Cozzy's comedy club tonite. They must be cutting salaries at ABC/Disney if he's doing stand-up now. Or he's a closet comedian. You'd have to have a sense of humor to work all these years with the diva herself...Susan Lucci. Tough decision....$15 a ticket to see WW or stay home and watch the NASCAR race from Phoenix that begins at 8:30pm. Tough!
Off to exercise then to volunteer at the VLM.
If you've delved into ancestry.com to find leaves in your family tree let me know. I'm thinking of joining to see how far back I can go...there's supposed to be witches and warlocks in my mothers family. Tell you anything????

Woody Woodpecker is pecking on my house
Bloody woodpeckers should know the wood is painted on my house! I can hear the rapid pecking as I write. Not too big a brain. Imagine baning your head on something rapidly. Must be mating season? What, all the trees are bug free? That reminds me. My backyard neighbor must have or suspect termites. An exterminator was out last week drilling holes into the concrete slab around the perimeter of his house. Yikes! Would have been nice if he told us they're coming our way. His home is about 8 years older than ours.
Need to clean up and go exercise. Drop V off to the VLM for her volunteer shift. NASCAR Texas race is on at 2pm! I'm hoping Jeff Gordon's winless streak continues today.
I got a 16g iPod - yellow. Also bought an iomega 360g external hard drive and have it plugged into my computer. Installed iTunes on it. Found out about this tip at amazon.com when I was shopping. The external drive is terrific. About $75.00.
In other news....Abbie Gillen and freshman reserve Violet Hahn won the decisive match as host Menchville gained its second 5-4 victory in two days, defeating Heritage.With the team score at 4-all and the Monarchs holding match point -- Heritage serving at 1-5, 30-40 in the final set -- the teams moved from Menchville's unlighted courts to nearby Denbigh's lighted courts. The Monarchs clinched the triumph a game later.
"That was a very, very pleasant surprise to pull that out," Menchville coach Marvin Hedgepeth said. "The most pleasant thing is to have a ninth-grader (Hahn) keep her composure. She kept tons of balls in play -- nothing spectacular but just really solid.
"We didn't go into the season with real high expectations, but look out if these girls start believing in themselves."
Menchville, with numerous district championships and second-place finishes, has an inexperienced team, but the Monarchs gained some confidence with Tuesday's 5-4 victory over Hampton and may be able to contend for a playoff berth.

Where's the Customer Service Gone?
Last week was the epitome of poor customer service. We had trouble with three businesses. One jewelry store (recommended by a local silver store) had a necklace of mine since 1/10. They were to add silver beads and put on a new clasp. I picked it up March 14th, unfinished. Promised two weeks and two months later zip. Never will go back there and next time I go to the silver store will let them know the terrible service and not to recommend the jeweler/repair guy.
Next was the painting firm. I noticed a shutter corner had come undone from the shingle. The house was power-washed. The firm's lawn sign was still behind our fence too. I called twice without anyone calling me back. Third time I called I spoke to the "production" manager and he said he's look into it and call me Tuesday. I got home Tuesday nite and no call. I wrote a note to the owner to let him know I thought the customer service was crap. The shutter is now secure and the manager called to apologize. Big of him.
Third snafu is the Cox comm. digital phone. After two weeks of temporary phone we are back to our number. The guy we spoke with to set up this and digital cable was a complete incompetent. He promised stuff he couldn't deliver. We switched from one phone company and wanted the exact same features and tonight...when we finally got a dialtone...I find out that we don't have voice mail we will have to fork over $6.95 a month!! No savings at all. The guy said TIVO would work no problemo...I had the installer come back the next morning to take out the stupid digital box. Did I mention the sales guy said the box was free? Nope, we're paying $5.50 a month...It's the digital cable that's free.
Yikes, next week can only get better.
