A few weeks ago, I watched "Farrah's Story" and learned what a strong woman and fighter Farrah is. She went at the cancer that was invading her body with everything she had. I was rooting for her, but it was obvious she was losing ground.
If you havent seen it and if a re-run rolls around, you should consider watching it. Yes, it is sad, but it is so realistic - she takes you in the exam rooms with her and into her consultations with her physicians. You see her learn that the cancer is back, and that it has spread.
You get to see moments of peace and of joy.
When I heard she had died, I was truly saddened. You'll be remembered by so many. Rest in peace Farrah.

One little thing...
So, I'm heading out to get us a fast food breakfast. Chris asks me to stop by Walgreens and pick up a few things.
Breakfast - check
Walgreens -

At least we had something similar to Dayquil at home.

My take
My take on the tasteless "joke" by David Letterman -
I am a huge Sarah Palin fan/supporter. I am proud of the woman standing up for her morals and values. All she can do is instill those into her children. Children can and will make mistakes, but I'm a firm believer that you'll come back to the foundation given to you by your parents, it make take a long time, but your foundation IS your foundation.
Sarah's children do not deserve to be joked about just because their mom made a choice to run for V.P. of the USA. Letterman's choice of material is just a grown up old man bullying some teenagers. It was a pot-shot. It does not matter if the intended subject was Bristol, it was still a pot-shot. I think David and his writers forgot that a large portion of America does support Palin and Christian values. I think they've been reminded. America is still a Christian nation.
Is Letterman guilty of poor taste with that particular piece? Yes, definitely.
Has Letterman made me laugh at times over the years with things I found funny that other people did not? Yes, I'm sure he has.
Does one misstep mean he should lose his career? I don't think so. We're human, we make mistakes, we forgive. Hopefully, we grow and learn from those missteps. I watched the 2nd "apology" and I think it was as sincere as Letterman gets, I just don't know that he knows how to deliver the kind of sincerity we seem to expect, doesn't mean he's not sincere in his own way. Take it at face value, accept, forgive and move on - that is what we as Christians do.

Time off
I have been enjoying 5 days straight off of work Thur - Mon -- 3 more to go before it is back to work. Thursday, I just took care of things like returning movies (but first I watched Personal Effects which I hadn't had a chance to watch since I'd rented it and it was due back), going to the post office to mail off a couple of packages, did some random cleaning. Chris and I went to dinner at Red Lobster.
Yesterday, I worked in the garage all day long - from 6 am - 5 pm, and managed to catch up on all of the laundry also. I also took all of the trash to the dump. I know it's not the way most people want to spend their time off, but I'm feeling good about getting this stuff done. I am trying to minimize.
I got up at 7 am this morning, and sat on the sofa and promptly fell alseep again until I had to wake Chris up at 9 am because he had to go into work today. He just left a little while ago, and now I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do today... guess it's back out into the garage. I'm making a second run through boxes and trashing some of the things that survived the first cut. But I think I must pause for breakfast first.

4:45 am ?!?!
2nd day in a row that I've woken up at 4:45 am. I had to wake Chris up at 5 am because he has to work today, so I decided to go ahead and get up instead of going back to sleep once I knew he was up.

Star Trek
Friday night we went to see Star Trek. Surprisingly, there were only 20 or so people there, so we had a plesant viewing experience. We really liked the movie. If you're a Star Trek fan, you should go see this one.
Milestones, cleaning and Life School Musical
I can't believe I forgot to mention that I reached another milestone - one month without Coca-Cola on the 26th. I'm still sticking with it.
I've also been diagnosed with pernicious anemia and am getting B12 shots - I feel so much better. Didn't actually know that I felt so bad! Guess that is where I'm getting all of the cleaning out energy that I've had lately.
Yesterday, I got up early and started on the kitchen. I started pulling everything out of the cabinets, called Chris in "for a minute" and about 5 hours later we finished. We were ruthless - we only kept the things that we really use. After we went through the cabinets - we started on the pantry. I'm almost ashamed at the state the pantry got in - we didn't even know what we had. We tossed so much, and now we know exactly what we have. I organized all of the storage containers. Willy has his own shelf of food and treats, etc. Was able to find a home for all of the kitchen gadgets that were awaiting attention.
I have a few more boxes that I want to go through, and finally - our two households will be merged! Chris and I each moved our lives in the house and we didn't quite have enough room for all of it and it was so easy to just stick it in a room and shut the door -- and of course the garage got it's share. It's almost all done - I'd say 75%.
I am really happy with the progress and the results are the best part!
Scrapbook stuff is sorted and what I kept is organized. A few people have gone through the give-away goodies and loaded up. I have a few more people lined up to come get what they want. There is still a LOT left.
Last night, we went to see Anna Grace in the Life School Musical at her church. She did a great job. The whole production was great. We really enjoyed it. Enjoyed the dinner at Longhorn's afterwards with family.
