Ponder Pages

What to ponder. How about the state of the Union speech that Bush will be giving tonight? I don't plan on watching it. Every time I see him on TV giving a speech, I can't explain what goes through my head. So to save myself frustration and allot of yelling I don't watch. One thing that always bugs me when a president gives a speech is how often people applaud. Why not wait till after the speech is over? Or do they do that to make sure they don't fall asleep listening to it. What I think would be funny is instead of applause all that could be heard would be crickets chirping. I know be serious. I now it is suppose to be important, but I can't get into listening to speeches like that. I like casual . I don't like being preached at. I'll hear enough about tomorrow on the news. I go to bed early, around nine or so. I guess I don't have allot to say so I'll do my thought for the day: "Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories."

It another moody Monday. People at work were a little quiet today. Why? The Packers lost. It's a little quiet around home too. There's always next season. I just found out today I'm going to be a great aunt. My older sisters daughter just found out she's expecting. Yeah for her! They were planning on getting married in Oct.,but now it will be sooner I think. Her future husband and father of her child, says one down, one to go. He wants to have 6 or 7 kids. We'll see if he feels the same way when he's getting up at night to comfort the baby, change diapers and those 2am feedings. I believe in small families. Two kids tops. There are so many people in the world now. This little planet can't handle so many humans. Here's a pondering thought. What if all the things happening now a days are mother natures way of trying to get us to change and reduce our numbers. She will continue to do the most horrible things. Not just weather but things like more earth ...

My day started out with me feeling little ticked off because of something that came in the mail Saturday. It was a letter making it sound like it was a paper saying I was a co signer for a student loan for my oldest daughter. I had her call to find out what was going on. They said they were TRYING to get us to take a loan out with them. The only thing they succeeded in doing was ticking me off. I just might take it to someone who can look at it and tell me I won't have something to worry about in the future. I never sighed anything but I'm sure that the way they worded the letter was way over the line. I've been thinking about my story, I think I'll be changing somethings about it. When I get it figured out I'll start to write it here. I'm still thinking about becoming the assistant director for the play. I might go tomorrow night, tonight they are just reading the lines for the first time together as a cast. Most people at work were happy that the Packers won ...

I like to refer to Mondays as Mad Moody Mondays. People are usually very moody on Mondays. They either spend the weekend finding a way to do nothing but drink or they are doing housework they didn't do do during the week or took a weekend trip somewhere. Or couldn't find anything to do and spent the weekend in front of the TV. Or maybe they are into snowmobiling right now and have to squeeze in as much as they can before it melts away, which is happening today. Or just plain not getting much sleep Sunday night. Where do I fit in? Well, I don't drink, smoke or do drugs, so I don't have a hang over on Mondays. I take the weekend as it comes and what ever I feel like doing. I'm not into snowmobiling but I do like to get outside when it's kind of nice. I'm one of those people who feels kind of good on Mondays, so I can be a bit too chipper for some people. I was wrong about my niece. She took most of her Christmas decorations down. There is still one tree that...
