I LOVE THIS!!

OK, a friends sister had this on her blog and said anyone who wanted to copy it was free to do so. It is perfect and I think every young person out there who is about to vote should read it...heck...all of us ones too...LOL

Sorry...it did not copy and past over very well, and I don't have time to fix it. But the message is clear!!!


A young woman was about to finish her first year of college.
Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth.



She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a
feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had
participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that
her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.



One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes
on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The
self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the
truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she
was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had
a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting
that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly
studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people
she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really
have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.



Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"
She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes,
she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on
campus, college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the
parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because
she's too hung over."



Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office
and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who
only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that
would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."


The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired
back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades!
I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next
to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"



The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently.....
"Welcome to the Republican Party."

You Know You Are Getting Old When....

You go from this to.....


This....LOL


On Wednesday my daughter Nicole and I went shopping. We were in need of some mother-daughter time and what better way to spend it then shopping and dinner. We laughed a lot, tried on a million things, had a great dinner and caught up with what is going on in each others lives. We got some cute stuff and I let go of some of my ego with the boots...LOL

I love wearing boots in the winter. And I love the boots I had. But going back to work has made me realize my feet like the rest of me are getting older. I'm leaving the high heel to you younger ladies and now I am going for comfort! They are warm,soft and very comfortable and I think they are cute but very different than what I am used to.

We also discovered a store at Valley Fair Mall called 20/20......or at least I think that is the name. It goes up to size 20 and everything in it is $20.00 0r less. Does anyone else know about this store? And if so why didn't you tell me? They have some really cute stuff and nothing is over $20.00...Sweeeeet!
