Plus the stimulus is not really a stimulus package for us Americans. Obama said in his speech last night he is proud that the stimulus package was passed without any earmarks. Do my ears decieve me? There is so much pork in that and most people do not even know that. The package that was passed today a congressman was proud to say there was only $10 million of ear marks in it. Good grief.
Again I must say I am sorry.

OH FRIED PORK RINDS!!! That is what I think every time I hear stimulus/bail out/ ect. What a bunch of crap. I want to send my filled muck bucket and the muck rake to DC. and dump it there, doubt if half of them would know crap if they stepped in it.

Anyway I made some cinnabon muffins, stuck the last of them in the oven and fell asleep. The next thing I know is the boys are running around barking crazy and the house was full of smoke. Yep they were black coals and it stinks to the heavens in here. Nothing like baking to make a home smell good. Now the doors and windows are open, the heat is running and I am stimulating the economy through my fuel efficiency.

Nope no one best walk in front of me today, not a good mood. Spoke with my agent today for an hour. It ticks me off so bad what is happening to the market. My area now has a 25-26 month load of inventory and prices are declining at a rate of 1% per month on the market. That means for local standards my house will be worth 3300. less in 30 days. So as of March 1st I will have loss 86k in a yr.

Lorrie and Lacey...........you said it!! It's not a stimulus, it's a PORKulus!! $30 million for a mouse??? Of course that is in Pelosi's district! I didn't watch it last night, but saw bits and pieces today on the news. Is it just me, or did she look extremely smug and condescending standing behind there??

Dogmom......How much time do you have before the wedding? Would it be possible for you or someone to make you a little bolero jacket with sleeves out of matching sheer material? Something very plain and simple so as not to detract from the dress. I really think the first one is very elegant. Or maybe you can drape the shawl in such a way to cover a bit for at least in the church and for pix? Once at the reception you will probably be having so much fun you won't even remember! My mother had the same complaint and when I made her dress for my wedding I put in sheer long sleeves.

I had an inspector in today for the new house so that we can get anything fixed before the year warranty is up. They did find a few things, but not sure if they will be willing to fix any of them. We'll have to see. Quality manager is coming on Monday.

I have to do another stamping/scrapping class tomorrow morning, so have to get ready for that tonight. Now they want me to do follow-up classes next month. I'll have to forego April, though, because hopefully DD will have closed on her house by then and I'll be taking a trip up there.

Bye!

Oh Painter dear friend-that is huge. I can't blame you for the down mood but please vent away on us-it's okay.

Yesterday we discussed taking the house off due to Mr. L's health, impending surgery. We said we'd sleep on it and talk today. When I told our daughter she went nuts! So we decided to stay listed, what will be will be, IF (big IF) we get sold we'll just rent.
