Life is Short - Buy the Serial (Thanks Michelle!)

Take advantage of a one day sale - B.K. Birch

There's my inspirational input for the day. Today only get a 3 month subscription of Blood on an Appalachian Sunset for only $3.00. Bargains like this certainly don't come around every day, so be sure to take advantage. Click here. Go on, it's easy!

I stayed up way too late last night but I saw Paul Atriedes reclaim Arrakis. The alarm went off way too early, especially when my six-year-old had crawled in between me and hubby sometime after 1 am and before 6 am and snuggled. Those "snuggling" days are numbered since he's the baby and I treasure them when they happen.

Children of Dune comes on SciFi on April 19th. I think I'm just going to buy the damn DVD's and get some sleep.

I have half of issue 75 of the serial written and need to get it finished tonight. My youngest daughter has a softball game and my oldest daughter has softball practice.

I don't know what happened to Spring, but it certainly ain't in the Carolina's today. The temperature is a chilly 48 degrees and the sky is dark with billowy blue-gray clouds. The trees are now green and the different types of grass in my yard are now all green. For some reason, we have spots of grass that turn completely brown and are the last to turn green each spring. It makes our backyard look like it has some flesh (or leaf)-eating bacteria or something.

I was going to rant about taxes but you never know who's reading blogs these days. (Don't even get me started on First Amendment Rights.) Yep, I have to pay, but if it makes this wonderful country a better place for all people then please let me be the first to write a big fat check (cough! cough!).

Let's do the math - shall we. The U.S. Goverment is primarily located in Washington DC as are a ga-zillion Government Contractors. Well, it is a known fact that Washington DC/Northern Virginia/ Maryland area is an extremely expensive place to live, soooo these people who work for the Government / Government Contractors have to make a substantial amount of money just to pay their bills.

However if the U.S. Government were moved to, let's say, Athens Georgia, the taxpayer could save a bundle and keep the porkbarrel politics!

Just a thought
