My vacuum cleaner is broken. I got the urge to clean on Sunday, so I started some laundry, I did some dishes, I pulled out the vacuum and vacuumed my foyer area when "vrmmmmmpft...." happened. Dead. None of the troubleshooting trips worked. None of the shaking and disconnecting and pushing and pulling and looking at it from the left did a thing. And since then? The only thing in the world I want to do is vacuum.
Really? The only thing? Why do people say things like that? Surely there's other things I want to do. I'd like to ride a horse in an enchanted forest with Prince. That would have to be better than vacuuming. Hell, vacuuming WITH Prince would have to be something I'd want to do more than just simply vacuum. People need to just say what they mean.
Last night I found my beagle eating tissues out of my bathroom trash can. This is a new addition to her arsenal of annoying things to do. And when I found her in there eating one I said "I hate that more than anything!"
Really? I hate her eating tissues more than I hate cancer? More than I hate spiders in my apartment? Again, people just need to say what they fucking mean.
So, let's not make a big deal outta the tizzy I had the other day about my hair. It's colored. It's red. We can all move on. I mean, it was going to cost the same to have it colored brown, yeah? Yeah. So...hush.
One note on the debate....the abortion portion* of the debate. I get worked up when people who are on the pro-life side of things call disagreers "pro-abortion" instead of "pro-choice." I got worked up after Senator Obama pointed that out in very clear, concise terms and Senator McCain brushed all that aside and continued right on with his "pro-abortion" terminology. It's already an emotional subject for most of us and I feel that using the "pro-abortion" phrasing just feeds into that. I just do. I get equally as riled up as I watch the reaction lines (if you watch CNN) during this section. Women did not respond well to what Sen. McCain had to say...but men did. And that somewhat irks me, too. For a lot of reasons. And? I'd like to see the same people in the room if capital punishment is discussed. How the reaction lines would go then. I just would...

I didn't watch the debate, just saw highlights, and every clip I saw McCain said something that infuriated me. Thank goodness they didn't show him saying pro-abortion, otherwise I would've thrown my leg at the t.v.
Glad you stayed with the red. I was wondering if having her color it brown was going to cost a lot less than red.
I saw highlights and McCain put women's "health" in quotes when speaking of late term abortions.
Really?
Ugh.
