Vacation

I can't get enough of the news. I'm on vacation but what do I do at 11pm? I'm watching Sandra! I usually try to get out of town when I'm on vacation but this year we decided to take time off and spend it at home doing "projects." And that means ending my day as I do when I'm at work: with Sandra, reading (or listening to) the day's news.

It's been a productive spring break so far. I had been putting off a medical procedure for a year. I had a spot on the end of my nose that needed to be removed. The doctor told me I wouldn't be able to put make-up on the spot for a week after removal so I had to schedule it for a time when I would be off. So, this morning I spent 3 minutes "under the knife." I swear that's all it took. I then spent the rest of the day, running errands, taking the kids for haircuts, shopping, and painting a room with a little white band-aid on the end of my nose. One man at home depot made a comment that it wasn't a very good disguise if I was trying to go incognito. Fortunatly the band-aid comes off on Tuesday.

As for the day in news. I'm amazed at the Terry Schivo case. I know the doctors say she is close to death, and I waffle when it comes to what I believe should happen. The only thing I know is that I feel that once she dies it will be like the end of "The Truman Show" when Truman walks out of his "world" and the creator pulls the plug. The show that had gripped the world was off the air. And the reaction? "What else is on?" We are a fickle society. What we call "news" today is "history" tomorrow!

til then....
