…but will I remember it all probably not. I wanted to type this up yesterday it was wordless Wednesday so what is a girl to do?
Ok Swine Flu, really?!?! The ‘normal’ flu takes around 3,000 lives a year and everyone gets it at some point. So why are we so worked up about this one that so far has only one death? I mean that is nothing to take lightly but…I guess my real problem isn’t with the flu. (although I do keep trying to add an e at the end of the word) its with the “the world is coming to an end, lets only report things with a negative spin” attitude I don’t like. I stopped watching the news a long time ago because I couldn’t/didn’t want to deal with that much doom and gloom. Sure I’m not as informed about what is going on but I find I’m a generally happier person than most and I think that may have something to do with it.
Ok next subject. I’ve been failing miserably with my ‘no sugar’ thing. But I started again yesterday and success! I did have one chocolate (but it was the last one in my house.) However the bigger deal is I didn’t have any at work (and there is plenty of temptation) I’m going to be flexible with myself this weekend with 2 birthdays and a wedding shower but besides those I think I’m going to be ok. I think my body was going through withdrawals yesterday I ended up with a migraine…who knows what from but I’m blaming lack of sugar.
I’m still hung up on this whole Miss. America thing. I guess I don’t see the problem, with her answer (except the grammar.) In my opinion it was a trick question, either your for or your against and if your against then your set up for failure. I think she did a good job of stating that it was her personal belief with out being disrespectful. I don’t believe it is my moral obligation to treat everyone “fairly” I think it would be nice but its not a MORAL obligation. It is my Moral obligation to stand up for my beliefs while being respectful of other people. Its the whole “love the sinner hate the sin” thing in practice. I know people who are gay, and they know I don’t agree with their life style. However I can honestly say these two people are some of the nicest, hard working people I’ve every met. I still don’t understand how people are so crazy about freedom of speech until it disagrees with their point of view. Don’t slam us and we shouldn’t go around slamming you. Promote your cause peacefully not with disrespect and the same is true in reverse. We need to support our cause with respect not craziness.
Humm thats all I can remember for now, and I think that is plenty.
In HIS Grip,

Here are a few things that I’m not fond of and they all happened this morning:
1) Alarms not going off
2) Being late for work (only 3 min)
3) Not being totally put together (that’s what happens when you wake up 3 min before your work time)
4) Missing breakfast!
Grr bad start but at least its only today tomorrow is a 9 hour day today is only 8.

In Life, Wedding
I got to spend the first part of the week with Ryan! Monday we had off together and then Tuesday and Wednesday I only worked 5 hours!!! We did a little registering for our wedding, and some planning too. We are staying pretty on top of things but some stuff I just can’t do until I’m actually there. Like flowers, those guys are too busy on the weekend for me to stop in and talk to them.
Some people have been asking me how Ryan and I met so here it is:
We actually met in 2007 at a Halloween party my friend held. He was a Secret Agent of some type suit and all. I was a Wild fan (hockey.) Well apparently that sparked some interest. In July 2008 (around his birthday) my friend Vesta threw him a birthday party and invited Tracy and I along to go mini golfing. After that the whole group went to Get Smart and Ryan and I spent the whole moving ‘accidentally’ bumping into one another. The rest as they say is history. We spent the next 2 weeks or so before I moved finding any excuse to hang out together. He came to my good bye party and we stayed up with two other friends until 2:00 in the morning playing Wii dodge ball. We also found time to go out to dinner with some friends and watch videos at their house. Once I moved we started e-mailing and calling each other. Both of us without telling the other were trying to find out if this was worth our time, and distance to persue. Well it was!
I soon found out that Ryan was an amazing Christian guy with a love of music and adventure.
Well hope that answers some of your questions, later.

So apparently there is a big controversy over Miss California’s interview portion of the competition:
“Perez Hilton: “Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?”
Prejean: “Well, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much.”

It may have cost her the crown and it may not be the most grammatically correct answer but I say good for her for standing up for her beliefs! So many people are in an uproar about this saying she doesn’t represent ‘the people’ of the United States. Well ok then maybe she shouldn’t be Miss USA but that still doesn’t‘ make her answer wrong it makes it hers.
How come people are only entitled to their opinion if its politically correct?
