Ummm....it's nothing. Really.


Thoughts for todayAlign Center
  1. If you leave an open bottle of white wine in the fridge for a month, it goes bad. Like REAL bad.
  2. Monavie and Vodka is DELICIOUS!
  3. Think I am getting less concerned about Saving the Trees the more I have to wash dishes by hand.
  4. "You're gonna love my nuts" makes me laugh EVERY time I hear the Slap Chop/ShamWow guy say it.
  5. One of my Twitter friends, @Arktist is a very talented artist, although I NEVER saw him tweet about his work. Very cool guy! Here's some of his sketches.
  6. Even though @Calamari and I are not dating any more, I am glad I met him because he is a TRUE friend. Even helped me with my Rez Zoom May today! What a sweetie!
  7. Thanks to Obit Wheelchair spam email, I am now aware that I MAY qualify for an electric wheelchair at little or no cost. Good cause I was tired of this whole 'walking' thing and I *should* invest in my retirement.
  8. Monavie and Vodka is REALLY DELICIOUS!
  9. The price of NYMEX crude seriously needs to come back to reality. People with NO jobs CAN and WILL decide to drive less furthering the rise in inventory. Just sayin.
  10. I am NOT an SEO or Social Media expert and I think that NObody is. You're either smart & 'get it' or you don't. It isn't magical.
  11. We MAY be able to save our HOME because we FORCED our lender into modification talks by not paying our mortgage for 6 months. I didn't have to pay any fees or get screwed by any scam artists.
  12. I don't know what the word "debian" means and I am too lazy to look it up.
  13. Talk show radio hosts who say that Twitter is lame and vain have little to no followers because in reality, they are pissed that no one gave a crap what they had to say.
  14. I can't figure out why people give a crap what I tweet about.
  15. Tweets like this are a total #Fail for me: RT @nbcbayareacom: Presented By: http://bit.ly/101GPY
  16. Tweets like this I actually LEARN something from: RT @dkmashino: http://twitpic.com/bzps8 - Pink Palace & the place in which Pave Paradise was penned apparently.
  17. My dad was out of his mind when he kept telling me "You catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar." Really, dad? Who the hell wants flies??
  18. I have something in my eye and NO it is NOT my finger.
  19. Our #CABudget sucks, but hey...budgets suck. Period.
  20. There's only ONE thing that could make this Monavie Vodka cocktail even better...It could clone itself so I don't get my butt up and make another!


    Note: I do not sell Monavie. I just like the taste of it.

#FollowFriday for July 3rd


Happy Independence Day Weekend America!

Please be sure to not only have a fun & safe fourth of July weekend, but be sure to take a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are to have the freedoms & liberties that we do have here in the U.S.. For all of our bitching & complaining, we really do have it plush here.

I come from the Lee's & Dean's of old Virginia on my maternal side, so Independence Day has a really cool & personal meaning to me. Not that it doesn't hold significant meaning for ALL of us...just sayin'.

My G-G-G-G-G-G (eh, too many G's) Grand Uncle was George Washington. My GGGGGGG (whatever) Grandfather was Henry Lee III
who fought in the American Revolutionary War.

Mind you, some of my maternal ancestors are ones that enslaved, raped, killed, et cetera some of my paternal ancestors, but that is all water under the bridge now. It is what it is.

From my ancestors that are indiginous to this continent to the ones that helped shape our government, to the soldiers that have fought & those that continue to fight for our freedom & the freedom of others, to the firefighters, the law enforcemment, doctors, nurses, teachers, to those that bust their humps working hard every day, to those out of work & eager to find a job, to the bum in the streets, the activists, the pacifists, to the children & all others I may have left out...
"This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me." -Woodie Guthrie


I am SO proud to be an American. Sometimes embaressed, yes, but very proud nonetheless. This is OUR country because we make it what it is.

Happy Independence Day America!

Now, on with my #FollowFriday Suggestions...

I follow a lot of ppl. Of course I can not catch every tweet they post, I am able to keep tabs on them pretty well. This is a list of SOME folks on Twitter that I look forward to chatting with and/or reading their tweets. Some are controversial. Some are informative. Some are just plain ol' Chatty Cathy's (or Chad's if applicable). Point being, if you add 1/2 of these ppl to your following list, you will A) Never be bored on Twitter. B) Learn something new. C) Make some great contacts. D) Smile & laugh.

Give 'em a shot & check them out!
