Lions, Tigers, and Beefcake... Oh My!!!

I have been more active this weekend than I have since I had the surgery. Thankfully, no major aches or pains to report. The damn doctor just may have gotton it right this time. Tim and I worked in the yard alot this weekend... yes, I actually did yard work. I hate it, but it needs to be done. We put in a rock garden with a bunch of herbs and a fountain. Built a raised bed to grow some strawberries, yummy. We had fun which is something I haven't had in a while.

Now I am doing the drudgery of looking for a job. One would think that with a Bachelors and Masters degree that I would be able to find something in my field. But so far, no luck!!! I have sent out about 50 resumes this week alone. If anyone out there in blogland knows of a good marketing or business job that is not commission based, let me know.

On to the real fun.... a new beefcake pic. In case you haven't noticed, I'm into hot, wet studmuffins lately. Thank God for summer fun!!

I'm feeling moist

OK, Down right WET!!!!

No more View!!!

It appears as though Rosie is not coming back to the View. After what happened today, who could blame her. Elisabeth is a dimwitted Bush cronie who can't accept that her President is a dumbfuck and a disgrace. Elisabeth is not a coward as Rosie said, however she is slightly retarded. Elisabeth is trying to get her name in the press by going on the attack in major way....she wants to raise her profile to get a gig at Fox news (who is having a field day with this one).

Anyway, this may come as a shock, but I am done with the View. I have loved and watched it since it began. I never thought it would be as much fun with Meredith gone, but Rosie made it must see tv. Now, even if she does finish out her contract (3 weeks left), it doesn't matter. I'm done. Elisabeth has ruined the show for me. I don't want to look at her again. I will miss you Rosie. I hope you come back stronger than ever. Meanwhile, Elisabeth will be trying to get on some reality show for has-been stars. Maybe the Biggest Loser!

Good Bye Jerry Fallwell!!!

Jerry Falwell (1933-2007)

One less hate-monger in the world today.

Peace and Love!

The pic came from TMZ.com.... I wanted to share the love!!!!

Does anyone care about Idol anymore?

I am finding myself very bored with American Idol since Sanjaya got kicked off. He made the show fun, never knowing what he would do next, what hairstyle he would wear, and what song he'd totally mess up for our enjoyment. I was still slightly interested because of LaKisha. The girl won me over in week one with her Dreamgirls number. But now that she is off, who cares who wins? I don't!!

Melinda has the best voice, but she isn't exactly Idol material. As I've said before, she looks like Shrek, is annoying when given a compliment, and only has an R&B sound (nothing wrong with that, other than she isn't a pop singer). Jordin is cute, she has pipes, and the look. But she has no staying power. In ten years, we'll still know Kelly Clarkson. Not Jordin Sparks (hopefully not Gay Aiken either). That leaves Blake, who of all of the finalists has the best shot of making it. He is cute, has the look, and is popular with the ladies (not the gay men, thats Sanjaya's domain).The beat box crap is sooooooooo 80's, and it bugs the shit outta me. People complained that Sanjaya couldn't sing, listen to Blake. His voice is nothing spectacular. He doesn't have staying power either.

I am giving Idol one more chance to improve. If not, I'll be listening to my Sanjaya CD during Idol next season, relishing the fact that he got the last laugh.

Graduation

Who would have thunk it? Me, with a Masters degree!!! I want to thank everyone who put up with me during the past 18 months, through all the papers, the homework, and the events I had to miss to finish them. I couldn't have done any of it without Tim. He is simply the BEST!!! I love you honey!

Here are some pics from tailgate, the ceremony, and the after party. In case you were wondering, my fellow graduates and I started drinking around 11am in the parking lot of Vets Memorial. Mimosas and Baileys and coffee for everyone. After attending the ceremony, Tim and I had a party where me and 20 of my closest freinds were drinking the night away. I have realized that since I am a a graduate at almost 40, I can't drink that much and not feel it the next day. And yes, I am paying for it today.

For Idol Fans

These two pics just cracked me up.
Poor Barry Gibb. From sex symbol to Geico spokesman. Maybe all the "Night Fever" made him look like this "Tragedy".

Now you all know I loves me some Sanjaya. Beep Beep!! He must have bought his hair gel at Acme!!

I'm walkin'.... kinda

Yes, that's right kids, I'm walkin'.... in a boot. But it is still way better than a hard cast. In order to be in this boot cast instead of the hard walking cast my dr. wanted me in, I had to promise a few things. It has to stay on at all times, even when sleeping for at least 3 weeks, however it can be taken off for showers thankfully. I also have to wear it for 6 weeks instead of 3 weeks if I would have opted for the hard cast. I'm alright with all that as long as I don't have to have a cast on any longer.

The best part of the news is that I am graduating from grad school on Sunday, and thanks to my boot, I can walk across the stage to get hooded and receive my degree. Yeah!!! I wasn't looking forward to gimping across stage on crutches. I felt like Jimmy on South Park. "Thank You, you've been a great audience!"

A message from Betty White.....

My sentiments exactly....

Let's hope someone gets this fucker out of office soon. Not only is Bush insisting that we stay in Iraq when we should not be there in the first place. Now he is threatening a veto to include sexual orientation in hate crimes legislation. I can't wait til January 20, 2009 to get him out of office, we need to do it now. Contact your local Congressperson to let them know how you feel. IMPEACH Cheney, then Bush. God knows we don't want that Dick running the country.

We Love You T.C.

Tim and I are saddened because we put T.C. down today. When is the right time to do it? I'm still not sure. She had been sick for almost a year, and she was steadily declining, but she acted the same. Put up a brave front for us I guess. She was with Tim for 18 years. We Love You and miss you already. We know you are in a better place prancing around and being your usual fiesty self.

!!!

Do I really need to say anything else?
