Things crossing my mind...

First off, let me join everyone else in the opinion that John Kerry has, once again, made an ass of himself.

And even more so in his "Hey, look at me, I was in Vietnam and I can make a lame attempt at being a man and stand up for my opinion for once... And did I tell you that I was in Vietnam?" follow up.

I was nearly driven to sing that 2004 election song with the "and I got three purple hearts!" song along while I was finishing sewing my sister's Halloween costume yesterday. (Where was that online again? I REALLY want to watch it again for some reason, lol.)

Much enjoyed El Rushbo going all "Mention me! Mention me!" followed by Kerry's "and now Rush Limbaugh will take five minutes off of dissing Michael J. Fox to mock me" line, proving, once again, how predictable liberals are.

'Page out of the Republican playbook' my American ass John! :P

Let us all thank God that this man is not our president!!

(The Monarchist's comments are much better worded then mine.)

Got a call from my best friend (since we were like six), Adam, called me back (FINALLY- the guy is honestly so bad at responding to emails/phone calls) and we caught up on the last six months. Turns out his girlfriend, Christina, is deploying to Iraq in a month.

She's in North Carolina right now- I forget exactly where- doing last minutes pre-deployment things. (Yes, I am uninformed, but I'm working on it!) He's going to visit her in a few weeks before she leaves.

He seems ok (as in, I flat out asked him, and he said he was), but you know men... And I REALLY know this one... :eye roll:

I think I'm going to get him (aka him to give to her) a phone card or something. (What exactly does one get for someone you never met your best guy friend intends to becoming engaged to/marry who's about to leave to serve their country?)

Prayers for Christina, once way or another!

Also, a kind of strange thing that happened Sunday night. We closed at eight (like normal), and I actually got all the "kids" (associates) out the door by nine (not like normal). Bakers' don't show up until 10ish, so I'm alone in the store until then doing paper work and for some reason alarm bells are going off in the back of my head.

Like crazy.

And I'm not a paranoid type person (I live in a safe, smallish, middle America city), pretty much EVER, but I'm going around locking the office door behind me, jumping every time the dishwasher/ice machine/AC makes ANY noise, taking a 10 inch long can-run-siskabob (SP??)-someone knife around with me when I got to the fax machine, etc, for an hour. (Again, NOT normal.)

(I opted not to take the last trash out on the theory that no one would know I was dead until the next morning if I get knifed by the dumpsters.)

Bakers get to work- turns out the front door was unlocked. As in, any random psychopath who wanted to could have strolled in and knifed me unlocked.

I have no idea WHY the door wasn't locked, though. I watched Heather locked it, there were no customers in the store right before we closed, all the associates know to leave through the other door.

Weird, huh?

Another great night a Bible study. :) Maggie, you have to come to at least one class once you're back in town!

My little sister was Susan from Narnia (coronation scene dress) for Halloween- and I was heming the darn costume until she walked out the door to go trick-or-treating- but she looked pretty darn cute... Er, queenly, lol.

Took me like an hour to get the crown the way I wanted it, too... But well worth the effort, she was over the moon. :)
