Flexing my mental muscles

I had to sit and jot something down, otherwise I'll fall asleep on the couch, and I don't like doing that.

I just found out that Toby Keith is a (gasp!) conservative Democrat! Well, really, that's fine with me, I like Zell Miller (by the way, I could not find either of Sen. Miller's books at that bastard bookstore today...and I looked...) and honestly, the political leanings of entertainers, celebrities means little to me until the get up on their soapboxes and start stumping.

"Oh, look at me, I'm Billy Blabberbutt! I'm famous and fabulous and I am everything you will never be. I'm good looking, I have a tight butt, pefect hair, and clear skin! Listen to ME and vote for Joe Pimpleass because I SAID SO. This candidate is GREAT!"

[Me blowing a big raspberry...]

Frankly, unless either John Kerry or George Bush was going to show up on my doorstep and help me clean the toilets, I could have cared less. Shut up Hollywood. Even if you're a Republican I don't want to hear it. And I like what Alice Cooper, a conservative himself, said about it. Basically, don't listen to celebrities when it comes to politics. Amen to that!

"Welcome to my nightmare." Indeed!

But, Mr. President, I did invite you out for coffee and fishing. Helloooooo? That picture you sent was great, I have it on my fridge door, right next to my GOP calendar, but hey, I'm harmless, really. And my toilets will already be sparklin' clean when you get here.

As far as Toby Keith, or any country music folks go, I like country because I grew up with that music. As Trace Adkins sings "...songs about ME, and who I am..." Although, I don't hear too many country songs about my specific life. Like "Dust bunnies in the corner" or "My hands are dried and crackin' from washin' my hands, 'cause I've been changin' diapers all day-ay-ay-ay-ay." Or how about the ever popular "Wipe your nose on my pants leg."

Look out Nashville, here comes GROOVYVIC!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....(snort!)

MOVING ON...

So, tonight I called my oldest and dearest friend CowboyBoots to see how she made out driving to Pittsburgh all by herself. Husband gave her directions and apparently they worked. See, CowboyBoots hasn't ever driven there by herself, and she was understandably nervous. I was happy to help, and even happier to hear that she was enjoying her time to herself. She has four kids and she works outside the home (God Bless her), and when I called she had gotten her room service and was watching a movie. She really deserves a break, even if it is for a training seminar for her job.

MOVING ON...

I read a great little article in my Parenting magazine today. "Five things moms shouldn't feel guilty about." As if I needed validation from a magazine, but still, it was nice to know I'm not the only SAHM out there who reads while the kids are happily playing with, oh, my shower cap and slippers.

Well, let's see. That's about it, and I guess I'm going to bed. ****Yawn!****
