Summer Stuff

Went to an inservice today...that means school really is going to start and I really am going to have to go back to work. You know that being on vacation isn't going to last forever, but in this heat it is going to be hard to think about school.
Tropical Storm Edouard was a non-event. That is a good thing. We got much needed rain without any high wind damage or losing power. Caught a break on that one.
The high school reunion is only two weeks away now. I have finally decided to attend...I was dragging my feet, but decided my attitude was awful, and besides I have committed to The Year of Saying Yes, so now I can't say no. Now I have to get out and find something absolutely perfect to wear. Not too long, not too short or too tight, or too fussy. Can't show arm flab or too much neckline...really needs a collar and the right color so you look radiant and not washed out. OMG, this is why I didn't think I wanted to go....too much pressure for sure.
Then there's the presidential campaign. One of my friends from school has joined some No Obama organization. She's fighting "communism" for God's sake! I'm pretty sure she wouldn't post anything on my wall if she knew that I gave money to his campaign!! I don't know if he's the perfect answer to America's problems, but I'm pretty sure that McCain isn't. He is sounding more and more like the GOP's voice of fear. "Be very afraid America and vote Republican."
He's out of touch and I'm pretty sure that even if we "drill right here, right now" there's not going to be a dime's worth of difference in the price of gasoline at the pump any time soon.
Now they want to make this congressional vacation an issue. Hell, he hasn't been on the Senate floor for no telling how long, and Congress shouldn't take a vacation?!
The Olympics begin tomorrow and President Bush has gone for the opening ceremonies in Beijing. Should he be there? Who knows? Ron Suskind has published a new book that sets out the story of how Bush and Cheney falsified intelligence to get the war they wanted in Iraq. If this is true, it sounds like W might better just hightail it to Shanghai and stay there to avoid prosecution. Madame Speaker might not be able to ignore incontrovertible evidence.
Friday the Grandmas Gone Wild annual trip to the Vacation Spot gets going. I'm all set to roll after I get my roots touched up tomorrow at the Overpriced Salon and Day Spa.
Summer is a wonderful season...so much to do and think about.
