TGIF and just veggin' out tonight with a big pizza and watching hotties Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in Pirates.

Rant: My husband and I both love our parents, but we don't understand why his father and my mother never put their seat belts on until AFTER they start driving! The first 30 seconds of the drive is always weave and bob down the street while they buckle up; fortunately, both sets of parents live on quiet streets with little traffic ;-) Why do people do this?!?

Rave: had lunch today at a wonderful new restaurant that opened a 5-minute walk from home.

Heyyyyy! Oaktown Traveler! Haven't seen you in ages! Welcome back!

Rant: I am going to quit smoking next Friday and I'm dreading it.

Rant: Its cold here

Rave: I am going to quit smoking in the hopes of having a baby.

Rave: I liked the Apprentice too.
What is up with his hair???

rant: I got so caught up with work today I didn't get time to start my Freaky Friday thread. #39;(

rave: The work I did this morning was a real boost to my business. Yahoooo. \/

Rave: Our monthly social security payment just increased.

Rant: So did the medicare deductions.

Rant: It's so frigid here with little flakes of snow coming down that I hardly want to put on my exercise clothing and go for a workout! Too cold!

Rave: My parents have an extra bedroom for us in their Naples condo, so I have a good reason to work out in the first place, so I can keep fitting into my swimsuit!

Rave: It's NOT too cold today. I'm ready to go out to eat with friends.

Rant: 5# that won't budge

Rant: It's cold

Rave: It's warmer tonight than it will be tomorrow, so I just finished an 8-mile run....yippee, now I can stay indoors and clean tomorrow

Neither rant nor rave: And I thought it was just me that noticed the Donald's horrendous "do". Is it a taupe? Bad dye job? Comb over? With his money, you think his stylist would push him in another hair direction, but yes, I actually liked The Apprentice, too.
