A few things I want the universe to know...

  1. The President of the United States is not elected by popular vote. No matter how many times John McCain tells you not to vote for Barrack Obama and Barrack Obama tells you that John McCain only knows that "one plus one is two", it doesn't matter who you want to be President. The Electoral College decides. I'm serious. Check it out on Wikipedia if don't believe me.
  2. To those people that refuse to use their blinkers properly (particularly the right blinker and you keep following and putting on the brakes thinking they are going to turn right) - if you're not going to turn when you have your blinker on, please? Just stop using your blinkers. Thank you.
  3. When a person is on WeightWatchers (ahem, I'm talking about me - when I'm on WeightWatchers) DO NOT HAND OUT FREE CANDY EVERY DAY AT WORK!!!! It's just too much temptation for a girl like me. Seriously? A free Milky Way? As much as I wanted it, I just couldn't spend 6 points on a stinkin' candy bar. I'm still thinking about it though. And yesterday? It was a WHOLE Hershey's bar. I didn't eat that either. Yay me.
  4. The big blow up plastic dolls on "America's Got Talent" - people need to stop voting for them. They are ridiculously inane. Stop. Just stop. Please. For all that is good and right in this world. Stop voting for them!
  5. I have (hands down) the cutest dog in the whole wide world. She was so excited to see me when I got home from work (almost 2 1/2 hours later than I should have) that she tripped over herself and got one of her front dew claws stuck in her collar. I tried not to laugh. I love her. A lot.
  6. Gas jumping up 20 cents between 7 a.m and 7 p.m.? That's just not fair. I'm glad I got gas this morning because I would have been SOOO mad.
  7. No matter how loose your pants are, if your underwear is too tight, your pants won't feel loose at all. At all.
  8. Even though you can have a great birthday the day before, waking up realizing that you're 38 and wanted to have a different life than the one you have by the time you turned 38 is a little hard to do. I'm just saying.
Thank you and goodnight.

Thanks. Those are things everyone should know. I'm so proud of you being strong enough to not eat free food (especially candy). It makes you fat:0)

Oh Leslie, I love reading this but it really makes me miss you!! Like really. Did you just have a birthday that I missed? And why in the world is your bday not on my calendar?? Oh, I know, because we never get to see you.
I am SO with you on the candy bars, and the myriad of other treats that EVERYONE seems to bring.
