Do Politicians Need More Sleep?

I thought you all might enjoy this classic film of Former President Bill Clinton falling asleep during an MLK speech on Monday. I guess Hillary needs to let him sleep a little more. President Clinton has been quoted as saying that "Just 15 minutes helps to get me through the day". I guess the rest of his day went well!

Heath Ledger

Although I never looked at him the same again after this movie, I found it really sad that this man is dead. It appears by most of the reports that I have read that it is possible he has died of an overdose of sleeping pills. Poor Matilda! Anyway RIP Heath Ledger.

China Does It Again

Most women love to have pedicures and get their feet summer ready before they put on their first pair of sandals. Make sure when you slip your tootsies into flip-flops this summer they don't come from Wal-Mart. Most of the sandals come from China. China uses cheap resources to make the products they send to us and apparently the same type of paint they put into the toys we buy for our children. This is just one of the pictures that I received to show you the damage the thongs will do to your feet. When you start shopping for the seasons latest sandal fashion make sure the tag doesn't say made in China. It sure does nothing for the pedicure now does it?

Our New Ride

We traded in our 2006 KIA Sportage for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. I have never really liked the KIA (aka the Rubber Band Van) and to be honest we grew out of it rather quickly. We needed more room.

Ryan has been informing regularly daily about new jeeps he has found on the web. This has been going on for about three weeks now. I am elated to say the calls are finally over and we have found the vehicle we were looking for. We purchased the Martin Family Wagon today and hope to have it for a long time to come.

I am very excited about all the room I will have now when I go shopping or visiting back home. It was not too hard to make a good deal with Mr. Scott, so we jumped on the opportunity to upgrade if you will. Ryan had good reason to call me constantly with updates and I do have to say his obsession paid off!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Wow it is hard to believe that I am 29 years old today! I am kind of excited about next years birthday. I do hear that 30 is the new 20. Can't wait to see what the day will hold for me!

Welcome Home Reggie!!!!

We finally brought home our new little puppy. Reggie came home on January 16th. We had to take him to the emergency vet not even 10 hours after picking him up. He even had to spend the night to get IV's. He had a parasite and needed to be treated. Thank goodness he is going to be alright.

I am beginning to wonder what I have gotten myself into with a new puppy and a 17 month old, but I am sure we will all adjust. (Hopefully Soon)

Notice his legs had to be shaved in order to put in the IV's.

Nick playing with his new little buddy. He is having a hard time trying to figure out why he can't pick up this fuzzy little bundle. To be honest, I think Nick is very jealous.
