This election is a mess!!!

First off, I want to apologize for not blogging recently. I have no excuse other than laziness. I have nothing going on to keep me from posting regularly. Forgive me, faithful readers. I've been bad... Spank Me!!

I am so fed up with this Presidential Election. It looks like Obama will get the nom, along with McCain. Ok you know by now that I am not an Obama fan. He isn't gay friendly, he is shifty, and I still have no clue what he stands for. What's worse, I simply don't trust him. On the other side, John McCain is trustworthy. That's the only good thing I can say about him. At least we know where he stands on issues and he isn't a crook like Bush. But I can't and won't vote Republican. Bush has destroyed any chances of that. So what to do. Basically I have three choices, swallow hard (which I have done in the past, but that's a different story) and vote for Obama, Vote for Ralph Nadar (basicaly throwing away my vote), or not vote at all (which I don't beleive in). Let me know what you are planning to do. It's tough!

Painting on a rainy day

Columbus has such terrific weather. One week ago we were digging out of the biggest snowstorm in Columbus history with 20.5 inches of snow in 24 hours. Today we have 2-4 inches of rain and 55 degrees. So what else is there to do on such a rainy day but paint our bathroom. BTW, did I mention that I hate painting. Well I do. Although I must admit I like the outcome once finished. I am not one for white anything. Out bathroom is one of the last rooms we have painted. I decided to paint the ceiling olive green and the trim golden yellow. The walls are such that they can't be painted. They have some type of laminate on them. I don't hate the color (off white and gray) but it can't be changed unless we tear down the wall.

Oh well, I'm done with my break. Best get back to painting. The hall and bedroom are next respectively.

Help, they're after me Lucky Charms

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!

Lordy Lordy....

It's official. I am not longer a princess. Now I'm an old queen. Today I am 40. Say it with me, Four-Tee. Still doesn't sound good. They say that 40 is the new 30. Horse shit. 40 is the new 39. I sure as hell don't feel like I did when I turned 30. I have aches in places I didn't know existed, pains in new areas, and more chronic conditions than a healthy 30 year old will ever have.

That's not to say that I am over the hill. No. I'm near the hilltop, but not quite over it yet. Still creeping towards the top to make that slow, painful descent to seniorhood. There are a few advantages to being my age. 1. I don't get carded anymore. 2. I'm still too young to join AARP. Ok that's all the advantages I can think of.

As for what I am doing today. Bowling. I decided to have a bowling party with my friends. I can get my aggressions out, drink beer, eat pizza, and laugh at people who bowl worse than me. So I'm now old. At least Tim is still older than me. Ha!

For Lothian and Laura

Look who tops the list of the smelliest actor. A poll taken on MSNBC, decides which actor looks like they smell. I can't believe Brad Pitt or Johnny Knoxville aren't on the list. Lothian, your fav is the smelliest.... Laura, your fav pirate is 3rd.

1. Colin Farrell
What is it about otherwise handsome A-listers who endeavor to look smelly? It’s as though the effort it takes to look good on film is such a burden, they just give up in their off time. Take Colin Farrell. The greasy locks, the poorly groomed beard, the rumpled clothes — he sets the bar for stinky-chic awfully high. Colin’s infinite pack-a-day smoking habit — seriously, he’s always smoking a cigarette — only adds to the list of malodorous evidence. And it’s not like he’s always looked like a stink bomb. Just a few years back Colin sported the standard freshly showered look we all know and love, but it seems like the more successful he gets, the grimier he looks.

2. Matthew McConaughey
It’s not hard to build the stinky case for Matthew McConaughey. The unkempt hair and beach bum lifestyle hardly rank a mention when the man himself admits he eschews deodorant. He wouldn’t even break the ban when his “Fool’s Gold” co-star, Kate Hudson, complained about his body odor. “She always brings a salt rock, which is some natural deodorant, and says, ‘Would you please put this on?’” But her efforts were in vain. “I just never wore it. No cologne, no deodorant.” In fact, Matthew defends himself by insisting no other co-stars ever mentioned it. (Note to Matthew: Sometimes when you reek of B.O., people try to be nice by not telling you that you reek of B.O. This does not mean that you don’t reek of B.O. Just FYI.)

3. Johnny Depp
It must be hard being the most desirable man in the world. Maybe that’s why Johnny Depp hides behind cartoonishly awful ensembles, like his ill-fitting pants, the grungy fedoras and those plucked-fresh-from-the-dumpster shoes. I can’t tell you how many times my best gal pal and I have sighed at the sight of Johnny only to add, “too bad he probably smells like cigarettes and dirty clothes.” We won’t ever get close enough to find out, but still! And not to belabor the cigarette thing, but Johnny smokes hand-rolled sticks exclusively. So all that foul gunk that normally ends up in a filter? It coats his hands and teeth instead.

4. Jared Leto
A virtual chameleon of the grubby vibe, Jared Leto’s not content to rock just one dirty look. Hipster grossout? Check. Unwashed hippy dude? Check. Icky emo? You know it! Jared even went through a dingy spray-on tan phase à la LiLo. On occasion, he cleans up his act, but that doesn’t discount the greater trend towards trashy. And it’s not just the perpetually stringy hair or days worth of eyeliner that gives the not-so-fresh tip off, it’s the whole unwashed package. Oh, well, it’s not like any of it is holding Jared back. Every twenty-something it-girl in Hollywood happily dates him regardless of what he smells like.

5. Orlando Bloom
What happened to fresh-faced Orlando Bloom circa 2003? Remember that clean-cut cutie at the “Lord of the Rings” premieres? Sigh. Seems like a greasy haired doppelganger took his place ages ago. Maybe after three “Pirates of the Caribbean” installments the poor hygiene pirate’s life actually took hold. Whatever it is, it’s not a good look for him. Orlando’s girlfriend reportedly thinks so, too. “He’ll wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer.” And if that wasn’t specific enough, “Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks.” Ew!
