Ankle Pants

I don't like them. They're just too close to being just regular pants that aren't quite long enough.

Perhaps I bring my lifetime of tall-girl experience too much to bear on this subject, but I spent the morning cutting two inches off several pairs of ankle pants, causing them to become cropped pants instead. That way there can be no shadow of doubt that these pants are SUPPOSED to be short.

I don't want ANYBODY entertaining even the briefest thought that this 5'10" woman left the house in dorky high-water pants.

I am really sick of hearing about this guy. what a disgusting human being. he is confessing to the murder. when is he going to be put away? what a nightmare for all the families.

we were having a family evening together and went over to borders the other night to kill some time. all was well until my guy wanted a new bathroom book (he does all his fun reading in there so don't ever mess with the books on the back of the toilet if you come to visit). Anyway, I was having fun suggesting books, and he was annoyed with me for suggesting etc. i wandered over into the literature section and noticed sarah palin's book was in the great literature/fiction section. I said "how the hell is "going Rogue" 'great literature?' Well, at least the got the fiction part right."

boy did that piss a few people off.

What's going on with you?

Many Thanks

I had lunch with a good friend today I hadn't had lunch with in about 2 months. She really put a new twist on a few problems I've been having and lifted a weight I've been carrying around. After lunch was over, I was so thankful for her love and friendship and all the way home, I realized how blessed I've been in friendships. I haven't stated my thanks to you gals enough over the years and that's a shame. Even if all of us haven't gotten along 100% of the time, we're still friends and we still wish good things for each other and give room for each other to have a good rant and would join in keying someone's car who wronged one of us (if we lived closer to each other that is). You really are a good set of broards (including Ded and Bert, wherever he's been). I appreciate your friendships, your comments, your criticisim (hey, no one is perfect!), your wisdom, and your support. Life is hard, and it's silly to try and go it alone. I hope you take a moment to remember a friend and then call him or her and tell that person what they mean to you, if you can. It just might be something that s/he needs to hear this week.

Odd Story

This story of Sarah Palin vs author Joe McGinnis is getting very strange.

As you may know McGinnis rented the house next to Palin's for the summer. He's working on a book about her. She, paranoid as hell, almost accused him of being a sexual pervert . . out to spy in her daughter Piper's bedroom. It's sick the way she uses her kids. If she'd taken the high road and ignored him, he'd write his book and that would be that. She's adding fuel to the fire. Now an Alaskan paper reminded McGinnis that Palin could shoot to kill to defend "life and property." What's the author up to? Is he going to sneak over in the middle of the night and stab her with his Bic?

She wanted the limelight. Bask, Sarah, bask.

So sad

Al and Tipper Gore are separating after 40 years of marriage.

I think that's very sad.
