I mean if you are a governor of a state, you might not want to be on the phone trying to sell the Senate seat to the highest bidder.. Someone will hear you and turn you in, even if the day before you tell reporters that everything you do is upstanding and legal.. LIAR!!
Poor people of Ill. What an embarrassment. Hope they get it right in a re-election.
So we got some snow, not much but enough to make the roads slippery and enough to make it hard to get to the morning paper this morning. I almost fell on my butt on my driveway. but i didn't thank goodness.
Jay Leno is staying with NBC and they are saying that this is going to "revolutionize TV". I am not sure how that is going to happen, but what i do know is that they are axing some of the most popular drama series on TV these days. I heard that Boston Legal just got canned. My favorite, Dirty, Sexy Money will probably get the axe too.. That is sad. I was just getting used to the idea of more drama tv not less... Please don't replace some of these shows with more reality shows. I mean unless they are all Big Brother shows. I still love that one.
I have another package ready to go to my soldier. I wont be able to send it off until Monday but it is full and ready to go.. I hope he likes all the stuff i collect for him over the two weeks. I have a lot of fun doing it. I will let you know if i get a letter back from him. I am very interested to know what is going on over there, but i am sure he doesn't have a ton of time to write letters, so i am not holding my breath.
