I know it's been a while since I blogged...sorry about that. I got assigned a new job duty at work which takes up most of my day, so I haven't had time to blog.
Hubby & I are moving into enemy territory! That's right, we're moving from Chris Medlock's district to Tom Baker's district...can't wait to get our "Medlock for Mayor" signs to place prominently in our new front yard!
On a more somber note...my mother in law passed away from brain cancer yesterday morning. Her viewing is Friday & memorial service is Saturday. She was a wonderful example of Jesus's love who will be missed, but we're rejoicing that she's in Heaven with the Lord; in fact, she went out singing "Jesus Loves Me." We spent today as a family gathered with their pastor talking about our memories of her; it was bittersweet, of course, but I'm glad we did it.
Needless to say, it may be a bit of time again before you hear frome me.

A chuckle
I was visiting the Tulsa City Council website & noticed its slogan -- "your voice in city government." After all the shenanigans going on, I think it should be altered to read "your voice in city government...providing you're a member of the good 'ol boys network, of course." Sometimes I wonder if there's anyone out there who speaks for the common man (other than "the gang of four", of course).
Second item on the agenda...
DH & I drove to Owasso after work last night & were quite amazed with all the development going on...and not a casino in sight! I wonder if anyone from Owasso (or Jenks, or Bixby, or Broken Arrow--you get the picture) bothered to send a thank-you note to Mayor M. for all the growth we've caused. You'd think we'd get a share of the profit or commission or something.

News Flash
This is directed to the "protesters" @ 71st & Memorial yesterday...
I don't believe that anyone is putting a gun to your head & forcing you to stay in America. Do you not realize that the men & women in the armed services are fighting to protect your right to disagree? If you dislike it so much, why don't you move to a country more in line with your feelings...say, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, etc? Oh, that's right, if you lived there, you wouldn't be able to say what you believe!
A comment on "political correctness"...
I heard on the radio yesterday that some idiotic high school has determined that the term "freshmen" is considered detrimental to the children, so they will now be referred to as "ninth graders." Give me a freakin' break! It was detrimental to my mental health when, in middle school I was referred to as "WD-40", but I didn't complain about it. Okay, so I further retreated into myself & was no fun to be around, but it was my own doing. (As an aside, I no longer have that nickname. My parents were getting divorced & this was 1976, so there wasn't much of that going on, so my self-esteem dropped off the radar, etc...you get the picture.) Are there not better things that the government could better spend their time doing, like, I don't know, legitimate probes of failed airline deals & probes of goverment employees who may not be paying taxes on fuel used @ their airport? Oh, what am I thinking...that's a pipe dream! I forgot, governments are there to fund pocket parks & haunted arenas.
Gee, anything else get my goat today? I'm sure something will come up later...
