You Can't Get Better Than This.

This is my BFF from kindergarten. We haven't lost touch in 35 years. Not many people can say they've had a friend this long. My friend Ann will do ANYTHING for me even if it kills her. If I said "put this acid on your eyes" she would do it. I would do anything for her too. But she did one thing that I will never forget until the day I die.

We were outside in Canada. My back was killing me. I took my shoes off and put my bare feet on the floor. Hoping the coolness of the cement would travel up my back. I know it sounds dumb but sometimes it works. She brought me a chair. I have no idea where she got one from. I sat. She rubbed my back, played with my hair and told me it's going to be ok. When I was ready to get up from the chair she told me to wait a minute. She got down on the floor and wiped the bottom of my feet with her bare hands. She cleaned each toe and then put my shoes back on my feet. It's bringing tears to my eyes right now. That was the nicest gesture anyone has ever done for me. It's small but it meant so much and it still does.

I love you Ann!

Shhhh...It's Me.


I got a flat tire last week. I was driving on the spare which isn't a donut but still looks so dumb. I was embarrased to drive my car. Don't you hate your car when something goes wrong with it?


So, I called around for 1 new tire.
Option 1: $325.00 for the best
Option 2: $152.00 for the match to the other 3 tires.
I chose for option 99. That option was drive around on the spare.


My car has already cost me a brand new car in repairs. You might as well say I have a new car because almost everything in it is new. My headlight or tail light or dome light burns out once a week. The bulbs aren't cheap. Back to the tire...I figured I'd give in and get a new tire. I was tired of driving around looking like a poor, cheap peasant driving around in a Mercedes with a retarded tire. Even though I am a poor, cheap, peasant driving around in a Mercedes with a retarded tire.
I was so ashamed of driving my car with that eyesore that I even thought of buying a Burka and wearing it when I drive but I don't have pasties and a feather thong to wear underneath.
So, I called around and found a used tire for $45.00. It was the best purchase I made. I love my new tire. I love my car again. After they put the tire on I treated my car to a car wash and some gas.
Don't you just love happy endings?

So Much Fun!

Tony stunk like he was sprayed by 33 skunks and hasn't taken a shower in 28 days. This isn't one of my best pictures. You can see I have all of my teeth and healthy gums. Looks like I have a double chin too.



The Obama party was FUN! I don't have a voice left. 1,000's of people turned out for the party. We all screamed, cheered and hugged each other. This is a picture of Tony and I. I don't know Tony. Never met him in my life but during the entire victory party he wouldn't stop shouting "free at last!"



I don't know where he thought he was but he was happy as hell.

I hope he went home tonight and took a long hot congratulatory bath.

He is the head of the Mexican UAW. UAW to him must mean Unable to Armpit Wash.
