Friday Ramblings…

You can’t get blood from a turnip, or answers from a bush?
Did I just see a commercial of some people talking to a plant? Oh my goodness. People are asking a shrub questions about minimum wage, why Katrina victims were failed, the war in Iraq, and the ad ends with “You can’t expect answers from this bush, so why would you expect answers from this one?” or something like that with a photo of a president. Okay… Usually people break out these kinds of ads during the election season. Ouch. It challeneges people to ask questions and seek answers about political issues, which they should have BEEN doing, but it is a bit harsh. Accurate but harsh. Dead-on but harsh. Appropriate… You get the picture.

Breaking the Grey’s Anatomy Habit. Sort of.
I might have to stop watching Grey’s Anatomy.

For real this time… I mean, yes, I have told myself that before at the end of last season when Meridith ended up giving it up to Dr. McDreamy while dating the vet. I liked the vet. She dumped the vet after McDreamy dumped her ass. Again. I mean, some people just like to be hurt. There comes a time when people have to CHOOSE to be happy and functional, or at least less screwed up. I can’t believe I wasted this many words over ANOTHER television show. I have really got to start getting out more or something.

Bob Villa, Eat Your Heart Out!

I am working on these daily home improvement challenges. I really want my home to be nurturing and comfortable and generally on point for the holidays. I don’t know if we’ll be entertaining, but I just want the house to be more welcoming to whoever stops by. I might do a little painting, but for now, I’m in the midst of fall cleaning. and polishing. and repairs. My husband is developing home repair skills (who knew? hee hee hee) so maybe he can be my assistant or something.
