Look what has happened since 8:00 a.m. yesterday morning.. aiyeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
All the furniture & wall hangings had to be removed, so that the realty company (after 1 & 1/2 yrs of waiting), can replace the floor. Which turned out to be mildewed, rotted, & hidden! So we're relegated to the guest room, the animals are in mass confusion as to where to potty (ugh), & the rest of the house & porch bear all the crapola.

What the hell, let's have some champagne!

I don't approve of the things Saddam did, but I more harshly don't approve of the things are own dictator has done. And I supremely do not believe in capital punishment.. so this day has started off grimly for me.
One can only hope that Hussein is in a better place, w/ perfect knowledge now.
It is all that any of us can hope for after death.

As I type, my bedroom floor is being torn out.(hopefully for new replacement) The 20 boxes of xmas decorations are lined up on the back porch, for possible packing into the barn by St Paddy's Day at the latest. My post-cruise wash is done..yay for small progresses.

We're starting a new potty regime w/ the pups today.. lots of walks in the pasture. Tessa loves walking on the lead. Poor Mojito things he's being hung by the neck until dead.
Gross analogy there.

How come the unpacking isn't as much fun as the packing? I'm knee deep in dirty laundry, trying to de-freak the cats who were stressed at spending 10 days without their humans, while prompting the 4 mo puppies to recall what pottying on the piddle pads meant, & also starting a healthier regime for the ole bod. Is it any wonder that I haven't even found time to comb my hair today?

The let-down after vacation is palpable. Not to mention the fact that I haven't had time to come up with some nifty New Years Resolutions. No trekking Kilimanjaro.. no speaking before the UN Assembly.. no entering rehab simply because it's the chi-chi thing to do. No.. those things have been so 'done'. So I guess I'll have to go with the same ones I've salvaged from each year since '98.
1) Start a spiritual retreat.
2) Learn Italian.
3) Lose some lbs.
That about covers Mind, Body, & Spirit, right?

Maybe this will be the year..

What I'd like to see happen in '07:
1) Bush impeached & carried away in a striped uniform to the Hague.
2) Someone in office take global warming seriously. Gore can't carry this alone.
3) Pharmaceuticals get their asses sued, & judges making it stick.
4) Same thing for tobacco.
5) Same thing for insurance companies.
6) Same thing for Donald Trump & his Miss USA 'ho Tara.
7) Cindy Sheehan to run for office.
8) All the soldiers to come home NOW!
9) Gloria Steinem & Jane Fonda to become my BFF's. ;o)
10) Enlightenment.

Now, is that asking too much? Ok then, eliminate #6.. & just let Rosie take care of that jerkwad.

Happy New Years folks! It can only get better..

She dissented against the war, even when it labeled her unpatriotic.
Drummed out of congress, it'll be interesting to see where she goes.

Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:10 AMERICAN TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ TODAY, TOTALING 27 FATALITIES IN DECEMBER


(& it's just Dec 6th!)

that the bombing of the Pentagon was an inside job.
Those conspiracy theories are sounding more real all the time!

And how about adding 2900 little US flags to his lapel, for the innocent soldiers killed, & maybe 650,000 little tombstones for the Iraqis blown away..
What a guy, that Rummy.
