It's been 12 days since I've added to my blog.  A lifetime in a blog universe I guess.  I had this vision of what I wanted my blog to be:  beauty products, things I've come across that work really well for me and getting things off my chest about work and home.  I want to talk about work but in this current economic environment I want to keep my job.  If I talk about beauty products am I selling them?  No, I'm sharing.  I love beauty products but I recently learned after getting on the scale that putting lotion on my skin and hair products in my hair and finding the best mascara ever helped me avoid the downward or upward slide of my body.  Shockingly the scale hit a number I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!  So, now I'm on plan Z of a diet plan -- no I refuse to diet!  But, I could cut out handfuls of M&M's at night and drink a lot less beer (but beer is my friend!)  I love you Corona.  Parting is going to kill me but maybe you will miss me more than I will miss you.  Of course there is always the doubt that what I write will suck or no one will read it.  Well, no one will read it since I haven't told anyone about it yet.  But what's the point in having a blog if no one is going to read it?  I will have to share the website eventually.  So, what's it going to be then?  My husband wants me to be the voice of the new republicans but that would mean I would have to take a stand!  And I'm not really sure I'm a "true" republican.  I hate both parties.  Geeze, I can't imagine feeling so passionate about so much crap and then the only real thing a political party can associate itself with is pro choice or anti abortion.  What a pathetic country we are to vote on an issue that the majority of us will never experience.  I think I've met two people in my life who have had abortions and it never changed my feelings about them.  I can't imaging killing over it or being frightened enough to think we would truly lose it.  I'll put it to you this way if abortion goes away it won't be coat hangers killing women it will be the guy that knocked them up!  Ha ha.  Maybe I should stick to beauty products so much for Hope and Change.
