Freaky Friday. What's your rant and rave?
 

my rant, That ex gov. and US Rep from South Dakota got only one month in jail for killing another motorist when he ran a stop sign.

rave, all my bills are paid \:D/

Actually at least 100 days in jail, $5750 in fines, loss of license and probation for three years, and community service. He could have seeen 11 years. He hit a motorcyclist, while speeding and running the intersection. He surrenders February 7.

Rant:

CRAP YELLOW JOURNALISM 'stories' make the newspapers and television news with frightening frequency. Almost nothing positive is reported on, anymore.

Rave:

My husband has less than six months to go for his bachelor's degree, YAY! (He's almost 40, and had almost decided he was too old to go back to school. I am very proud of him!)

Rant: I want to travel, but money's low...
Rave: This site that lets me keep daydreaming!

Rant.......I wasn't in Iowa for the Dean PepRally
Rave.......I wans't in Iowa for the Dean PepRally

The BRRrrrrr cold here! The icy sidewalks!!

Rant: It's *insanely* :( cold here in NYC. Rave: Go home, sit in front of the fire with a few good friends and a few good bottles of Barolo.

michelleNYC, what is Barolo?

rant: insanely cold here too (Edmonton Canada)
rave: going to NYC for the first time in May!!!

In case she's not here, It's an Italian wine. Oh Michelle, I have the wine, but no fire.

Thank you for explaining re: Barolo (wine)! Well, even if you don't have the fire, I would crack open a bottle and slllllowly enjoy. Who needs the fire?

Dreyers/Edys Ice Cream! Yes it still LOOKS like a half gallon, but they've taking out a whole half-pint from each container! And raised the price!

Ok... bigger rant: the wind chill has now dropped to zero. I'm afraid to leave my office!!!

Rave: My sympathy for those of you in the chill-so here's a little sunshine story for you all:
Played 'hooky' yesterday and trekked out to Pt.Reyes (Natn'l Seashore in Marin County,CA) to check out whales migrating from Alaska to Baja and to enjoy 55 degree weather and SUN! The lighthouse stairs were open, so we walked down the 300 steps (noting the warning at the top that the return trip was akin to ascending stairs to the top of a 30 story bldg.-I have no idea how they figured that out!) The park ranger let us into the actual lighthouse and gave as a terrific talk about the 130 yr.old, all original parts,working Fresnel lense-just like being
in a giant prism with rainbows! Spent about 45 mins. enjoying the views and
the multitude of sea lions playing in the water below. Breathtaking!

Rant: The return trip UP those 306
steps (they are numbered) was, well...
BREATH TAKING!
:-))

Rave: I started the wine without him and a pizza's on the way!

Rant: razzledazzle's hookie story--I am jealous! I'll take 55 deg. any day.
Rant: Snowing 2" tonight, another 5" predicted for Sunday.
Rant: The Prada bag I won on Ebay isn't here yet--and no, I will have no idea if it is authentic or not--but it does come with a card that says it is, that's all I care ;)
Rave: Having a new XM Radio unit installed tomorrow
Rave: Unit takes several hours to install, which means shopping and lunching while waiting :)
Rave: The good news about snow on Sunday is a possible 2 hour delay on Monday
Rave: CNBC replayed the episode of The Apprentice at 9:00PM that I missed last week..that's almost worth two raves
Rave: I think I have more Raves than Rants this week ;)
