Okay - I'm not that brave. The layers seemed to blunt for my liking as well. Although who am I to talk considering what I did Friday.
I think the layers look too much or too choppy too.

Nobody notices when I change my hair either, except the cute-early-20something guy who works at the convenience store. He always notices.
DH has spent the day attached to his iPhone watching our investments plummet! Ah well, at least we are healthy and happy (and sunburned ).
Awe, so sorry to hear that, Zimbo. I read that congress's approval rating is at a record low, below 20%. It's never been that low since the inception of polling. I can't believe the republicans gambled with our economy like that. They're supposed to care about spending and they stonewalled the country into higher interest rates. Their soul purpose was to save the issue for election year. All political and nothing to do with really caring about the country's economy. I can't believe they wouln't come to an agreement that would last through 2013 when they KNEW AHEAD OF TIME our credit rating would fall. That's all they had to do---approve something that would last through 2013---and our credit rating would have been fine. But NO! They had to go making the US look unstable by keeping it for a 2012 talking point at election time. It takes 9 years for a country's credit rating to be lowered. They knew this would happen because the past 9 years have proven the US unworthy of a good rating. They were warned that it would fall if they didn't provide stability by approving something that would go past 2012. I'm furious. I'm even more furious now that you are losing money over it.

Thanks Hopes. I hope I didn't come across as having a pity party for one, I know just about everyone is affected by this.
I think the Republican party is going to have to decide if they are Tea-lite or not. Part of this mess is bowing down to the demands of the Tea Party, and if the Republicans really and truly embrace that, then so be it, but that will change the future of the party for sure. And since when has negotiation and compromise become such a disdainful thing?

I'm with you. My dad just told me how much of our inheritance was lost today He called his congressman and told him off.
Amen to the Congress comments. I just hope people remember this come election time. At least I got DH to turn off the news. I keep reminding him that the losses are on paper, and we went through the same thing in 2008, but he is really concerned this time.
On a happier note, it looks like we are about to get blasted by a thunderstorm. I love a good storm.
