Kristin Chenoweth

This singer sounds like she is one of the chipmunks, or should I say one of the chipettes. You know the cartoon characters. Either way whenever I hear her sing all I can picture in my mind is the chipmunks in the movie I saw several years ago.

A Happy Tree

I have no idea how old this tree is but it sure looks happy.

The terminator has terminated his marriage

Back in 1986 when Arnold and Maria Shriver married the first thought that entered my mind. "This is an ODD couple." I wanted them to make it, and they did for 25 years. That is a lot compared to many marriages today. Many people view marriage as disposable, in my personal opinion that is the wrong way to look at marriage. In Hollywood you see the famous people bed hoping worse the the worst daytime drama or soap opera. That may be why a lot of the soaps are being cancelled people can watch E and it's just as good as a soap opera and they know that it real people and not a story.

I'm lucky my parents have been married for over 40 years and my husband can say the same about his parents. There are hard times in a marriage to be perfectly blunt marriage takes work. I think that after 25 years they knew it was over. I do not doubt that they have a genuine love for each other after they share 4 children and lived together for 25 years. Micheal Douglas I think said it best about his first wife. I will always love her I'm just not "IN LOVE" with her anymore. There is a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. I love my cat, I love my daughter, I love my parents, but I am in love with my husband. I've only been married 5 years so I think that Arnold and Maria really tried to make it work after 25 years together I honestly think they tried. They have their reasons and I just hope that they part as friends and not enemies.

Was America thinking about this?

As everyone has heard Osama Bin Ladin was killed (I think assassinated is a better word). The one thing that stays in my mind is What did it solve? The people of the September attack are still dead, and they will never come back. There is nothing we can do to make them come back. I agree that it was a shame and a tragedy that it happened, but has anyone thought for one minute that we might get attacked again because of this. The attack was not just to kill people it was to make a statement, it was symbolic. This is something I do not think most of the American people realize, and perhaps they never will.

A new President?

I have been seeing on the news that Donald Trump might be running for president. I was thinking that might not be such a bad idea. The man has lost most of his fortune several times and has always managed to bounce back. If he was president I think he would probably run the country like a business and we might just be better off. I'll bet the first thing he would do is try and fix the deficit or the economy. He might not me a person that is in politics, but the way I see it he probably has a better attitude that most of the people that are in Washington now. He may even want America to thrive again and may try and bring more jobs here instead of shipping them to China or Mexico. I think the job of President was more than what Obama anticipated but he had certain ideas and he was determined that his ideas were the only way. The only problem was in polities you have to make compromises and that is something I do not think Obama is going to do if he can help it. I really do not think that he will get elected to a second term and if by some miracle he does this country really will be in trouble. Donald Trump may be just what this country needs. He is smart when it comes to money and as an employer he must know what he is doing. Of course I have never had any personal dealings with the man but I can respect the way he had done things in business. I guess we will just have to see.

What if we had no money for technology today?

The world of entertainment leaves nothing to be desired. I understand that some people want the fame and the money. But think about it. Money can't buy you the most important things in life. It can't buy you good health, and it can't buy happiness. The happiest people in the world are the people that don't have it all and don't want it all. I am not rich and I know I never will be. I have a loving husband who I love with all my heart, and together we have a beautiful daughter. All of our needs are met and I am not talking about IPHONE and DSL on the Internet. I am talking about needs like food on the table a roof over out heads and clean air to breath. I just wish that others weren't so hell bent on material things. Think about what life was like 100 years ago. I can promise you people were happier back them. I'll bet they could count on their neighbor to feed the dog and water the plants when they went on vacation and not worry about if the neighbor was going to go through their mail and steal all the money in the bank, oh yeah they probably didn't have that much money in the bank to begin with. Sometimes I just wonder what the world would be like if for a week, just a week, the teenagers and some of the older people, by that I mean people in their 20's could exist without all the technology we have today. I'll bet most of them would not no where to begin is they were asked to make a meal from scratch, when I say that I mean they can not use a microwave or run to the store and pick up a hamburger helper. I'll bet if they had to make a meal from scratch everyday for a week the poor saps you starve to death.

Royal Wedding

I think it is just in poor taste that the Royal couple have been told what to do and everything else. #1 they can not kiss after they are pronounced man and wife and #2 the groom is not going to wear a wedding ring. I can't help but wonder what will be next, he can't sleep in the same bed as his wife, probably. I wish them all the best, really I do. I just think that some things are getting out of hand. The wedding band thing really gets to me. I personally think the groom should wear the ring, I understand if he does not because of the job he does, but this is a prince, he is not going to be working on electrical panels or pulling machines apart to repair a gear that has gone bad. He's going to be a king, and I'm pretty sure that he will be paying someone to do that for him. Another thing I consider the ring a symbol of love you have for the person you are marring. It also lets the world know that the man (or woman) is spoken for. I don't care that he is a prince as far as I am concerned if he is not going to wear the ring he's telling the world that he is available. This is England we are talking about, look at it's history the kings and future kings treated their mistresses better than they did their wives. I hope I am wrong and I hope he treats his wife with respect. I guess only time will tell.
