Ahh a bit more political commentary.... So watching the Today show this morning and apparently Dubya stopped by to say hi, and do a bit more of an interview with Matt Lauer.  So Matt asks Dubya,  "there was a housing collapse, a near banking collapse, and thousands of jobs lost while you were in office, how much of the blame for that do you take?"  and you see this look of pure confusion on Dubya's face, and he says, "Well there were a lot of people to blame for that, including my administration"

Yeah that was his answer, it's like.. everyone else was to blame, but me.  I just.. ugh.   Why is this man still in the spotlight?   I know, I know.. he's promoting his new book.  Who gave him the wonderful idea to write a book?  and why is everyone and their brother writing books now a days?  It's ridiculous, and I still say this government is going to hell in a hand-basket.

Oh, and you know what else I heard this morning, TLC has a new reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska"  Here's another out of work public official who just needs to go away.  Yeah she's had a show on FOX for quite some time, but that's FOX, they don't count, they're so right they never make a left turn!  But now TLC, who I had thought to be a "real" network is giving this chicky even more limelight.  

I'm beginning to think I may not watch a whole lot of TLC anymore, first it was "Sister Wives", and now this.  Media is getting on my nerves, programing to to the ignorant majority, when they should be educating and helping make this country a better place.

Anyways, on to other things.  Regular everyday things that no one really cares about.  I've decided that if I can help it, I'm never going to buy another thing from Walmart.  I bought a dining set from them not too long ago and the bench that came with it, completely broke the other day, making me have to go out and get new chairs, but of course I could not find just simple chairs at Kmart or Meijer, so I bought 24'' stools, they work ok, but they are a bit tall, will need to figure out how to make them shorter without ruining them...

Last night I went to Meijer to purchase these chairs and also to grab a couple of things for the remodel, such as switch covers, and a new air vent cover.  After wondering around for 20 mins in the hardware section I finally spied some workers not working, but just sitting around and talking and grabbed one and asked for assistance.  He barely knew what I was talking about till I showed him a picture of what I wanted that was on an air vent filter. You would think that they would be right next to each other but no, the air vent covers were actually all the way on the back wall, in a little 1 foot section.  To top it off, they only had floor ones, and not ones that I could put on a wall.

So that is what I will be doing today at lunch is going to Home Depot and getting air vent covers that go on the wall.

Put the first coat on the walls today of the dark maroon, looks more like purplish pink right now, but once it dries and I put at least two more coats on it, it will have the look I want.

Looking forward to this weekend.  No kids, no roomate, just my husband and I with absolutely no plans.  The painting should be finished up by friday at the latest, was going to work on the yard, but since it's raining this weekend that will not be possible.  Just more cleaning and getting the house ready for the 20th,  I hope I can pull this off.
