Every 2 or 3 years, there's always a news story about a local public school getting 20-30 million dollars for rebuilding it doesn't need. It's sad how much money they waste.

Reading the news story about the two girls who were kidnapped, but now are safe, made me very relieved for the girls. I also felt oddly sad. No one cared about me when I was a kid. I had the thought, "What would it be like to have someone like me enough to want to kidnap me?

I'm so old that I remember when the death of Janis Joplin was breaking news.

I had a good laugh at the news today. Romney recruited Michelle Bachmann to try to improve his relations with women. What a joke.

We have four network news channels where I live, and if you listen to them tell it, all of them are "First". Am I missing something, or is this just stupidity in advertising?

Finally got some news from the Army. We're heading to Fort Carson, Colorado!! I'm so excited, we should be down there by July or August and DH should be here from Germany June 30. I'm so happy that we know what's going on now. And he'll be working at a hospital so no foreseeable deployment. Yay!!

Everyone in America who is hungry has some resource available to them. I'm sure the starving kids in Haiti and Africa are cooking up this whole skeletal starvation scheme on purpose just looking for a handout. Put down the Cheetos, and stop watching Faux News.

I remember when the newspaper had personal ads in it. I used to read them sometimes and wonder about some of the old men that were seeking 20-30 year old blondes. I always thought about calling them and seeing what would happen. Especially with the ones that said they were rich, lol.

Third/final wk of DH being home before going on the road for a month. He's driving me insane. Gets up when I get up, plops down next to me as I'm reading the news and starts talking. Tell him I'm going out on the patio for a few minutes, he comes out within 5 mins and starts talking. I'm watching my TV show, he's trying to show me YouTube videos. He won't go to bed until I do, falls asleep on the couch until I wake him up for bed. He KNOWS I need quiet time to meditate and recharge, but he won't let me. He follows me everywhere. I have to drive to the park and sit in my car to get some peace

Dh and I agreed we won't share my pregnancy news with MIL until im out of the first trimester. Everyone else knows. MIL wasn't around for the first so this time I refuse to get my feelings hurt by her. :)
