Sunday Sunday Sunday

So today is Sunday, 7:11 pm. Most of my blogging will be nonsense; my way of venting without yelling.

It's been an eventful week. My neighborhood is a nice little neighborhood in Utah. But last Thursday, a wacko turned it into a war zone. We'll call the wacko "John Doe" because the last thing I need is to get in trouble for villainizing him and making it look like he's guilty before a trial. But believe me, the guy is a guilty, wacko nutjob. He pulled a gun on a neighbor, the dispute over a flippin' ladder. Then he barricaded himself in his home. Took five hours for the men in blue to arrest him. They later found porn, guns (he's a felon and therefore a restricted person and not allowed to own firearms) and a journal detailing how he was going to kill his neighbors.

My good friend "M" and her family used to live next door to this nutjob but luckily moved away about a month or so ago. I feel bad for the people who moved into "M"'s home and didn't know what they'd gotten themselves into.

Speaking of "M", she and her family just moved into a newly built home yesterday. It's so beautiful. I hate her. (Just kidding...she's awesome. I'm just completely jealous!) We helped them move. Her kids are really excited to have new rooms, and she is just ecstatic over her new kitchen. It's HUGE!

Maybe one of these days Kip and I will build another home. It was one of the worst experiences of my life but maybe the next one will be easier since I know what to expect!

Another friend of mine, "A", and I are thinking of starting our own business. We're thinking of selling the bead jewelry we've been making. I found some really good websites to get materials cheap and we will probably start on the web, and after a few years maybe open a little store here in Utah. We don't know...we're just thinking right now.

Ok now let's post some stuff that you should never talk about at work or with your in-laws (ha ha): RELIGION AND POLITICS...YEAH!!! ha ha ha

Yep, I live in Utah and that by default makes me Republican. Proud of it too. And yes, living in Utah also defaults me to being Mormon. Darn proud o' that, too. I don't buy the conspiracy theories that G. W. Bush and the current Administration thought up and carried out the 9/11 tragedy over oil. Liberal nutjobs who are in love with Bill and Hillary need to just put their tails between their legs, bow their heads and admit defeat. THE REPUBLICANS WON! GET OVER IT! It's better than a lying-sack-o'-dirt-who-looks-like-a-cheap-imitation-of-Lurch for President, don't ya' think?!

Ok so something less irritating: Does the government have nothing better to do than mess with Daylight Savings? Aren't we in a war or something? Yes, we have several of our troops in Iraq fighting for their freedom but who cares? We have to do something about Daylight Savings!!! WHAT MORONS!!!!!!! I like it when it gets dark early! I like it when it's cold! That's part of the attraction of winter for me! Maybe Utah should just do as the Arizonian's (is that a word?) do: forget Daylight Savings! Let's just have ONE TIME for the whole year!!!! The only reason Daylight Savings came about was so the farmer's had more daylight to harvest their crops! How many farmers are left in Utah? (Which makes me sick because just where in the world do we think we're going to get our food?!) And with all the new machinery it doesn't take as long to harvest anymore.

Oh boy...slow day in the neighborhood, obviously. Maybe I'll have something more interesting to write tomorrow. Don't you wish...
