I'm Just Saying . . .

Okay, so I know it has been a while since I have posted but I don't really have anything good to say, so I have avoided the blogosphere. But today, the country has been saved. We finally have a balance in our country. Thank you Scott Brown for winning tonight. We can now force the democrats to negotiate and make some of these bills of theirs more bi-partisan. I think we need to redo health care, but this current bill is not the way to do it. I hope the Democrats don't pull a fast one and pass the Senate bill to avoid Senator Brown.

ESPN College Game Day comes to Provo, Utah (brought to you by Home Depot)

I was shocked to read that ESPN Game Day was coming to Provo to do their morning show before the BYU vs TCU game.

Granted both teams are ranked but the game will be on Versus and not on ESPN. In fact, the MWC even spurned ESPN and created their own network. So why is ESPN doing this? I think it is because this is the only ranked game of the week. I looked at the college football schedule and this is it. http://espn.go.com/college-football/schedule/_/week/8 There are no other games of interest going on that week. Well I guess we got to take what we can take. If it takes a loser week of football games for ESPN to come to Provo, then I guess that is good for BYU football. I sure hope we don't screw it up and lose like we did against Florida State. Good Luck Cougars!

BTW, I use this old BYU Logo because it is the one I grew up with and love. I just cannot accept the logo. I know it has been years but it is just not right.

What has been on my mind lately!

1. Obama wins the Noble Peace prize - What is up with that? He just started the job. They gave it to him for his potential not his accomplishments. Alfred Noble must be rolling in his grave right now. I also think he was given the prize because the is not George Bush. Bill Clinton deserves this more than Obama. What is up with those Norwegians, they are crazy!
2. Creigh Deeds - I am so sick and tired of his commercials. If I hear one more time about how many bills McDonald sponsored that restricted a woman's right to choose, I am going to go crazy. All he is try to do is scare women into not voting for McDonald. He has no concrete plans and all he can do is focus on a thesis paper written years ago. I am not surprised that McDonald is winning the state election so far. Glad to see Virginia is going to have a Republican Governor again.
3. This lady on my bus to work - She is so coordinated it is crazy. She has rings, ear rings, bracelets, necklaces, sweaters and coats that all match. So far I have seen her in Green, Red and maybe Orange. I am interested to see what else this woman has. It is unbelievable, she must have cleaned out one store of all of its stock.
4. Work - I have been so busy it is crazy. But I am glad to have a job and keeping busy.

Home Depot: Don't believe them!

When Home Depot tells you, you can do it with their help, don't believe them! Home Depot said I could paint the walls of my apartment using a paint sprayer, boy were they wrong. Painting my apartment before my move was a horrible experience. I got paint everywhere (body, hair, clothes and plastic covering the floor) and this paint sprayer did not cover as well as I thought (see examples). I should have just used a paint roller.

Anyway, if Home Depot tells you you can do it, they are wrong. You really cannot, hire someone, that is my next plan. What a bad experience.

On a brighter note the carpet cleaner I bought worked wonderful. That thing really did clean well. I plan on using it again :)

Random Info!

To continue my post on idiots at self check-out, I found another reason why these people should not be using this feature at grocery stores. I was buying salad today and got into the self check-out line. There was a huge sign covering the bill taker stating Debit and Credit ONLY, no cash. The guy in front of me was shocked, after scanning all his food, that he could not pay by cash. Come on buddy, could you not read the sign. Granted he was a late teenager/early 20 something but that sign was pretty obvious. Because of his stupidity, he had to wait for the clerks to come fix his mistake. These kind of people should not be using self check-out.

After reading one of my favorite blogs, www.foodnetworkaddict.blogspot.com, and his subsequent tweet about CVS that I realized I had not blogged about how horrible CVS really is. They have tags everywhere in their stores that say WOW, as if it is on sale, when in all reality it is not on sale. These tags are easily mistaken for their actual sales tag. It is the most deceitful advertising ever. I got to figure out how to report them. Ugh I hate CVS!

Okay that is it for now, but to random bits of info.

Wow!

So in my last post about 10 days ago, I had had my bad passport experience. Well today you will never guess what came today . . . .










My freaking passport. Who would have guessed. I was so shocked, I never knew they could process it so fast. I cannot complain about the U.S. State Department now, they did such a fast job. BTW, I never asked for expedited service. I am just speechless.
