On This Day in History January 20th, 2009  |  5 Comments

January 20, 2009, is;

- The day that embodies the imminent change. Many of us have contemplated this change and what it means to us, a day like today inspires soul searching and conjures images of both past and future. Today, on the most historic of days, I'm sure that you, like me, will remember the moment for the rest of your lives when you realized that the post you are currently reading was written on a MacBook. That's right - this is my first post on my new, snazzy machine. After many, many years on a PC, I have converted. I'm no longer the area woman that knows all of the shortcut keys, but with sound body and mind, I embrace this challenge as I prepare to write a new chapter in my life. Yes I Can. We'll see how this plays out, but right now, I'm feeling four years strong. I also just got an iPhone. Soon I'll be blogging from the road, so goodbye 4 posts a month and hello 7! Wow.

- The day I realized that at some point in my life, I will live on an island in the Caribbean (view recent pics to Aruba). Even if I only get to experience it for 4 months, I'm going to do it. Jamaica, Aruba, Nassau, Half Moon Cay - wherever.

- I need to come up with my 30 second intro story about myself for Jeopardy! in case they suddenly call on me. Will I tell about how Isis was found at America's Roast Beef Yessir, or, despite the fact that I know better, I can't differentiate between ammonia and pneumonia? What about you, what's your 30 second intro story?

- The never ending spam on my blog has changed from (Nate you would have loved some of these doozies) readers such as 'frogsex@hotmail.com', 'redlube@luber.com' and 'screwtube@hotmail.com' (really, those were the email addresses) that gave us such notable comments as 'red hot lube, eskimo kitty cat, serious sex parts and nailing buddies' to intelligent rants from 'sheetmetal@sheetmetal1.org' most known for 'professional auto parts manufacturer, experience in hot forging machine including hot forging machine.' Someone should alert them that they have grammatical errors in their spam machine. Maybe I just did - yes! You know that good deed your supposed to do a day. Yep, that was mine.

- A day in which I have two issues of SkyMall sitting up on my nightstand. Which reminds me - I better get shopping. Have you noticed the amount of advertisements for the Snuggie, both online and on TV? Damn. Blankets are okay, but they can slip and slide. I should have blogged about that ions ago.

On another note, welcome to office Mr. President Obama and Vice President JOEBIDEN. We are elated to have you, good luck on the journey. Doug asked me tonight what the first thing I would like the new administration to address, my answer was health care, based on the pure fact that I pay too much a month and get little in return.  He's 'still thinking' but leaning towards transparency in policy and legislation.

I Heart SkyMall May 12th, 2008  |  7 Comments

I'm not joking.

You might think that I would spend my precious blogging time expressing my thoughts about Obama picking up 26 super delegates in the last week, global warming, the recent earthquake in China, or the cyclone that devastated Myanmar (latter day Burma). However, that is not the case. I've chosen to entertain you, my dear readers, with my intelligent musings on my findings while thumbing through the latest issue of SkyMall.

Now, I have actually consciously tried to resist my love of SkyMall, but it hasn't worked. I've tried to not pick it out of the seat-back pocket in front of me, but to no avail. People who have traveled with me know my problem and those who have flown to see me many times, know to bring me the latest issue. However, every time I board a plane, I can't help but reach for the special in-flight entertainment (would it be considered that?) of the ever so popular random product magazine that is filled with the most useless crap you can think of. I do admit, though, that while thumbing through it this evening, I found some things that I might have actually ordered - like the marshmallow shooter, the talking R2-D2 robot, or the 206 bird song identifier.

So, without further adieu, I give you my favorite products of SkyMall, Late Spring 2008 issue:
