I'm so over it

Yeahhhh... So its been a frustrating day.

Our neighbors "don't smoke." But it is amazing that right now as I blog to you, I have a massive headache due to the cigarette smoke billowing through our heater. I went over and asked them if they knew anything about it and of course, they are stumped. It is also a phenomenon that their house reeked of smoke when she opened the door.

Eliza today has decided that instead of Tuesday, it is Shriekday. All day every time something doesn't quite go her way... yup, you got it. I think that also might be contributing to the head problems.

Finally, I was massively disappointed by one of my formerly favorite blogs. I'm just going to put it out there. All my conservative friends can say what they like, but the last thing that I want to hear is Sarah Palin's expert opinion on the economy. She has no education to merit such. My friend, Frieda can be quoted on the economy. She is a stock broker and has a degree from Penn in business. My friend Ben can be quoted on the economy. He is getting a PhD in Economics at UCSB. Even I could be better quoted on the economy. I have an MBA and worked in banking and audit for quite some time. Sarah though... I don't think a degree in journalism qualifies you to tell the American people that we are going back to the Great Depression. Sorry.

I'm making chili and cornbread for dinner... maybe this day will get better.

I like you, Amanda. And also, I completely agree with your difficult but wise decision to not get too political with the blog, but you're spot on in this post. Says I. (But I probably won't say it on my blog.)

Hahaha, Amanda, you have me laughing out loud. I hope your day gets better. Mine has been pretty crazy, too, and it's only 2:30 in the afternoon.

And you guys been using your heater? Is it cold up there?!
