Happy New Year everyone.
Oh boy this is going to be one heck of a year too….
This just in…
The popular liberal website, “The Daily Kos” has tapped former
Clinton chief of staff Leon Panetta, age 70, to be the new the director of
the Central Intelligence Agency.
In a statement, Kos founder Markos Moulitsas said, “We are pleased
that the president elect has entrusted us with this important choice
before we were forced to make good on our threat to disable his
transition website with an avalanche of negative comments and angry
emoticons. We can assure our constituents — college professors, actors,
illegal immigrants, college students, and greasy-haired slackers alike
— that we have thoroughly vetted Mr. Panetta and determined that he has
absolutely no political, ideological, philosophical, social or familial
connection to anyone with the first or last name of Bush. Of course, if
such a connection is ever discovered in the future we reserve the right
to fire Mr. Panetta and promote deputy director Bill Maher to the
director position. Mr. Panetta has also, in the past, displayed
occasional intelligence which undoubtedly qualifies him for this
important position.”
Asked for a comment, blogger Andrew Sullivan said, “once again the
president-elect has displayed his intelligence, wisdom, and political
skill, underscoring the importance of legalizing same-sex marriage and
the unquestioned illegality of water-boarding and other interrogation
techniques.’ Another, lesser-known member of the incoming administration, vice
president elect Joe Biden, added, “not many people know this but
Panetta invented those delicious Panetones as well as the Pan-tone
color system. It’s true, look it up.”
When asked if the job of intelligence chief requires intelligence experience, Panetta replied simply, “no comment.”
>>Don’t forget that Panetta Bread Company pioneered free wi-fi in their locations, without which most Kos readers would have to spend all day in Mom’s basement. That’s worth a cabinet appointment in my book.
moving on, help me to understand this… a resealable bag of socks?
(yes that is Pierro’s feets there beside the bag, my little helper always)
What did they have in mind? that hubby store his socks in the bag?
Why a resealable bag?
I have been simply terrible, and complicatingly terrible too, about blogging. I am sorry. Life is busy.
I hope all of you are well.
Here it is pouring rain. I just returned from the rink.
We have been busy.
I have been VERY busy.
Everything is going really well for us.
A lot of stuff happened over that last few weeks. Christmas was wonderful. I have the annual photos I am too lazy to put them up.
New Years Eve was great fun. We had Andrei over for a few days.
He is such a great little boy and will soon be 11 years old. Wow.
We went to the Udvar Hazy center in Chantilly. It is 20 mins from my house and quite cool if you go early.
I have more photos of many adventures with Andrei. We had such a good time with him.
He is a really a wonderful boy. I adore him.
Blizzie is still home, she goes back to college in a week and a half. She is working at the hotel a few nights a week
(piano/3 hours a night in the lobby/what a cushie job)
Christabelle is doing so well on her own having her own place about 20 mins away.
We are going to Annapolis on Saturday to celebrate my mom’s 84th birthday
Pierro is good as gold. Prinnie is adorable very vocal (as usual) eating well and hobbling around the house.
She will be 18 in April,
so every day is a blessing with her. She is spoiled every day and treated like the princess she is!
All of you would be well served to obtain some sound financial advice in the next few months. Things are going to get very bad.
Also, any flying or traveling overseas, get that done now. Things are going to get ugly and dangerous with Panetta in charge of the CIA.
I will try to update soon, but I have been in a mood and when I have not been in that mood, I have been in another mood.
Presently, I am going to clean up Christmas in this house.
Then, make some dinner foods, rearrange Blizzie’s bedroom while she is at her gig, then I have a zillion other things to think about.
Blizzie and I are going shopping tomorrow. We are also going to JoAnn fabrics because Blizz wants some different buttons
for this jacket she bought (she is addicted to clothes shopping and it does not help that everything she puts on, even a burlap sack looks adorable on her!) and I am going to buy some fabric to recover some bar stools of my parents. I love shopping…. I do need some new pants, hmmmm
Oh yeah, and then we have to be all perky and happy for Thursday video-chat at 2:00.
WE forgot last week!!! Oh gosh, the three of us were lazing around here doing Nothing of importance,
feeling very drowsy, recovering from weeks of junk food and parties. The phone rings, I choose to answer it, no one at the other end, hello
hello?? so I hang up. The phone rings again I say hello a couple of times…. and I hear my moms voice, saying something in the background
so, I YELL hello?????/ and my mom says “hey, what is the matter with you people? What’s going on?” I say “huh? what do you mean?”
and she says “what about video-chat?? you are not on-line!”
“Oh, uh, mom, we are just setting up right now!” LOL
sorry the screen shot is so crummy. I think their camera is just bad…
I need them to take a screen shot so I can see if we look this fuzzy at their house.
I must end here.
Be well and happy.
