Happy Birthday Princess
These first 8 years have gone entirely too fast, but I can’t help but be thrilled with what a wonderful young lady you have become. Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
Sending out some birthday wishes
So it seems that Liz over at This Full House has left her blog unattended as she celebrates yet another birthday. You do read her blog don’t you? Well, anyway… since she left the door open, I thought it would be kind of cool if she came back and found 44 Birthday wishes. So please stop by here and wish her a Happy Birthday. (Oh, and any link help you could provide would of course be greatly appreciated, since I don’t think I have the volume of readers needed to actually get this done. I failed in last years attempt… and she is the kind of person that makes me pround to call New Jersey home… so please help! No I am not above begging… so what?)
Puzzled… the perfect description.
CNN is reporting, White House ‘puzzled’ by ex-spokesman’s book bashing Bush. I found this hysterical. Why? Because, anything that resembles the truth always seems to puzzle Bush.
According to White House Press Secretary Dana Perino:
“Scott, we now know, is disgruntled about his experience at the White House,” Perino said. “For those of us who fully supported him, before, during and after he was press secretary, we are puzzled. It is sad. This is not the Scott we knew.”
Then White House counselor Dan Bartlett:
“We’re hearing from a completely different person we didn’t have any insight into,” he said.
Now, first of all, when McClellan was thrown overboard in favor of Tony Snow, the President spoke in rather glowing terms if I remember correctly:
One of these days he and I are going to be rocking on chairs in Texas, talking about the good old days and his time as the Press Secretary. And I can assure you I will feel the same way then that I feel now, that I can say to Scott, job well done.
So, it is going to be interesting to watch these desperate attempts to try and discredit him, and still have Bush maintain an invitation to that rocking chair.
It seems to me that what is “puzzling” them is that they thought they had this guy gagged, and are trying to figure out how he slipped out with a proper brainwashing. I guess they expect complete loyalty to even those that they have thrown overboard.
What is going to be even more entertaining, is to watch as this is just another former official stating how the White House played fast and loose with anything that looked like the truth. Just how many of these people can be discarded as “disgruntled” liars before even the Faux News Channel has to admit that there simply must be some truth to it?
Getting some perspective
On a day to day basis, people fret over small details. As highlighted by the show Bridezillas, in many cases this gets highlighted (and quite intense) during particularly stressful times (like getting married). We worry about the wrong flowers, or somebody is 5 minutes late.
How would you have liked to have had THIS to be your wedding day?
Just a reminder that no matter how bad something seems… it can almost always be worse.
That time of year
I just need to survive. That is my mantra for the next couple of weeks.
Wenesday, LatteGirl had her first Piano Recital (which went off very well thank you very much).
Tonight, she is “testing” to try and move up to a yellow belt in Karate.
As part of her birthday present LatteGirl wanted her room done over, which is something TheWife has wanted to do for a while anyway, but just to add to the fun, TheWife scheduled that done this week as well. (Please don’t even get me started with the fact that with this make-over things like Winnie the Pooh pictures are on the way out to make room for Hannah Montana posters)
Next week is LatteGirl’s birthday, and dance recital in the same weekend. She follows that with finals. FINALS!?! When they hell did they start having final exams in second grade???
Ah well… sleep is highly overrated anyway.
