This is Chrissy, her sister Sherry and Aliya at the baby shower last Thursday. Aliya is hiding under Sherry's hand. She'll be much more visible in future pictures!

This is Rita. I thought since I talked about her so much in my previous blog that I should finally introduce you to her. I still think we were separated at birth. We're too much alike not to be related somewhere along the line. It would be a tossup though as to which screwed up mother we chose!

Chrissy and I went up today and spent a good afternoon with her at work. Congrats to Rita on her "All Star" status now. She's like me in that way too, she may give a damn most of the time but she still wants to excel at everything she does. I respect that about her as much as anything.

Just when you thought it was safe to be elected President...

Where’s the FCC when you need them? Much more appalling than seeing Janet Jackson’s boob on TV was Pat Robertson’s remark today suggesting the assassination of a world leader. This type of remark is no different in my mind than any radical of any religion spouting off at the mouth about killing others. This man should be fired from the program (highly doubtful since he owns it) and ostracized by every religious leader in the world.

Chrissy Update 5 wks 2 days to go... (officially)

I didn't see her yesterday but we did text some earlier tonight. She took a well deserved rest day. I hope she did nothing except lay around and sort baby clothes! Later today we're going up to see Rita. I'll have some new pics to post for you to see tonight.

In the summer, I watch a lot of news. I’m getting a little sick of the news I’m seeing. Mainly the missing people being covered. It seems now that any person that don’t make it home for dinner at 6 is on every news cable station by 10.

Now don’t get me wrong, I sympathize with the families of these people. No, really I do. But lets face it, what does it have to do with my life if there’s a blonde teenager missing on an island?

Or a newlywed husband that couldn’t keep his new bride under control on a cruise ship?

Or for that matter a black pregnant gal in the NE U.S.?

Or tonight’s latest entry into the “I’m missing” sweepstakes... a 20 year old college student at OSU last seen on a bar room dance floor falling down drunk.

Enough is enough. Listen to this Fox, MSNBC and CNN....

NO ONE BESIDES FRIENDS AND FAMILY GIVES A SHIT!

Kudo’s to the HBO sports dude that last week refused to sit in for the suspendered host on CNN because they were solely doing the Aruba story. A man after my own heart. I’m already ashamed of myself for devoting this much time and space to it here.

Spank me!
