What to write about?

That is the question, what to write about? I could write about the present my elderly 120 pound German Shepard, Rex, left for me this morning, a case of the runs, the poor lamb. That wasn’t pleasant at all, all before breakfast. Never fear, didn’t ruin my day. It made me walk the dogs much more often, because better outside than inside. If it hadn’t been 80 degrees outside, I would have spent more time gardening but the walking was good enough to get me some fresh air. I am looking forward to tomorrow when the temperature descends to a much more civilized range of the low 60’s, with a breeze that we are pretty much guaranteed up in Blandford, it will be perfect gardening weather for the rest of the week. I wonder if this year will be known as an aberration or if this is truly what we are going to experience from now on. That is, climate change is here and that we went past the tipping point. Makes me a little worried at times.

The hubby made a luscious cheesecake and I helped. He made it late in the afternoon so we’ll be trying it tomorrow, I described it as luscious because my hubby went the extra step and put a decadent layer of sour cream on top of the cheesecake towards the end of the baking time. It smelled really good coming out of the oven.

The baby girl right now is torturing me with the threat of her sinfully divine chocolate chip cookies. She did more than threaten, she is actually making them and in a half hour or so, I’ll be smelling freshly baked cookies. Hers are so addictive, her friends are over, so hopefully they will eat them all. My baby girl, I’m sorry that I’m bragging, but she has the golden touch when it comes to cookies. A mother’s pride on display.

Hopefully, Rex will be over his gastrointestinal issues because that was quite unpleasant and I won’t have to worry about it anymore. Whenever children or pets are ill, they are front and center pushing everything else aside. Tomorrow, if all goes well, I am looking forward to start weeding, I have held off because I needed some good,solid growth so that I could differentiate between the weeds and my perennials. I forget every year what I planted that is new and some perennials are self seeders or they naturalize every year, so I always wait before yanking. Gardening is great, interesting and challenging.

Any music writers out there?

Have you ever written your own music or song lyrics?

Writing Music

The only thing that I did that was remotely musical is when I taught French at elementary school, preschool and kindergarten grades, I took the music and turned the lyrics from “Thank Heavens for Little Girls” into a song for Mother’s Day which all the little ones performed for their Moms during the Mother’s Day party. They sang it in French, and all the mothers had tears in their eyes.

Mitt Romney Outlines Policy Details At Closed-Door Fundraiser, Suggests Eliminating ‘Some’ Departments

I think that the democrats as a party need to consult the history books and remind everyone what government really means and what good governance can look like for society. I say consult the history books because we are still reeling from the eight years of Bush/Cheney government and the amount of damage that they inflicted is still being felt. They, basically took whatever surplus that was left by the Clinton years and squandered it, in wars and huge monetary gifts to the 1% and corporations. They raided the till for the rest of us and President Obama needs more time to readjust the balance back to the common folk.The united front that the GOP has presented against the President time and again has foiled many good plans to jumpstart the recovery process and I admire the President for his determination and the recovery is still going despite the GOP doing everything to sabotage it.

Buffett Rule, Other Tax Measures Coming Up For Votes In Congress

Once and for all, I wish that someone would stand up and forever deflate the myth that these “small business” job creators actually will pull us out of our job deficit. What the GOP call “small businesses” are really the financial people on Wall Street who don’t create jobs or create much of anything aside from their own profits at the expense of Main Street. What I would like to see is manufacturing to come back to the U.S, especially the high-tech manufacturing such as you would find in green energy manufacturing, automotive, computerization and others. The GOP decries government participation in anything but I’m sorry, China who is a better capitalist than we are, uses its governmental power to kick our buts and they know it, they are exploiting our capitulation to the GOP selfish agenda for their own economic gains. It’s embarrassing. The Buffet/Reagan rule is symbolic of what needs to be done, that is all of us investing and re-investing in ourselves and our future, you would think that it wouldn’t be this hard, to want our country to succeed together, but it is unfortunately for us.
