shopping today. i made a decision to try out the dominicks, again. bad move. we have been normally shopping back at the walmart store. brands sometimes are a problem. but the prices are good.

heading into dominicks, jon and i started our chore. it didn’t take long to determine that the prices, were, well, higher. we were shopping with coupons, and a limited list. but even so, when everything is all said and done, the money i svaed would have been better served at the walmart. see the prices were high enough that i lost the coupon savings against walmart. bummer. and here is an observation. the shelves were no where near as full of options and choices as they had been before. nor wee there as many people there, as i remember. anyway. lesson learned. back to the walmart.

driving while texting is dangerous. so is eating a big mac. applying makeup. driving with kids. talking on the phone. driving into the sun. now i know that these are all dangerous things. or can be. but. they are easily solved by folks just using something that most all of us have. common sense. i only say this because i have found that having a blackberry makes it really really hard to sms while driving. but. i think that the lady in front of me today, finishing her make-up work, at speed, was much more dangerous. common sense people. it’s just that simple. no laws. no other discussion. just use common sense.

i watched a couple reality shows this last season. survivor was one of the best ever, and the more deserving person won. way to go jt!

on amazing race, there were these 2 girls. both ex-cheerleaders and one if not both, were probably the rudest people that i have ever seen. it really strikes me that people in foreign lands believe that we are rude, based on folks like these two. they were hideous. i was so glad that they didn’t win the cash.

my wife’s taking time off from school, as her foot is in pain, and the doctor said to stay off of it. don’t know for how long, but, she deserves the rest. well, except for homework.

i’m tired and sick. all started on thursday. and though the fever is gone, it’s hard to keep going all day… and keep the house going. much easier when it is the both of us. i forget sometimes, just how much my better half does. has made me a little cranky.

i still think that our president is doing a fine job, with what he was left with. honestly, i don’t understand why anyone would want the job. brian will understand this. i would rather do that job that he found online than be president. safer. less trouble.
