Avenue Q

Tim and I went to see "Avenue Q" here in Columbus last night. It is one of the funniest, best shows I've seen. It's no "Wicked" mind you, but still a great show. If you ever wanted to see puppets having sex (and let's face it, who has thought about it), find out what happened to Gary Coleman (what you talkin' bout Willis?), see a slutty puppet die and miraculously be "re-born", and go through the trials and tribulations of a puppet who comes out of the closet, then this show is for you. It also has a fun filled musical score including "It sucks to be me" and "If I were Gay, which I'm not". Go see it if you have the chance.

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!
