Shop at Goodwill??
Sometimes I feel like I embarrass my husband when I buy things from Goodwill, but I have to tell ya'll; I had a great day there!
I really hate to shop. No one has my style. I'm more preppy and tailored in my choices and there is no such things at our Malls. When my SIL first told me she got a blouse there, I couldn't believe it. But one day, just for the heck of it, I checked ours out.
Well, today I hit the jackpot. Not only was I in the mood to get some *new* jeans...I needed them! I found 3 pairs of perfect, perfectly-fitting jeans, one cardigan sweater (love them), one white long-sleeved sorta T-shirt, a red dress-up sweater and one red linen blouse....for $30.00. I did change the buttons on the blouse and bought shoulder pads for all and need to hem one pair of jeans. But I am soooo happy with my day's shopping. Now, maybe I won't have to go for anything until next year!

Howdy Saturday nighters!
OMG, it's so good to have a computer. My neighbor lent me her laptop for today and tomorrow.
After that, I'll be puterless again until I get to Kansas around the 25th or so.
I was sitting on my couch and had just turned to weather channel to see where the storm was heading, when a gigantic boom hit. It knocked me right off the couch onto my ass on the floor, that's how loud it was. Scared the sh*t outta me. My TV went out and I ran into the computer room and saw all kinds of hallucinogenic colors. I turned it off, but it was too late...it's dead too. Then I started noticing it was getting hot, and I went to the thermostat which is digital and it was blank...no air!
Then I pick up the phone to call the cable company and my phones were dead.
Am I happy to be leaving Florida? Oh hell yes!!! But it had to give me one more kick in the ass.
The ac was not covered for lightening. I don't think anything here is, but I will call my home insurance company on Monday and see if anything can be reimbursed.
So, I'm here for the weekend. :-)

Who pays for the Acorn Organization?
We do in the Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac bill.
ACORN is a bad seed
Indeed, Mr. Obama has extensive connections with the granddaddy of activist groups, ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), which has gotten millions in government grants for its low-income housing programs. In 1992, Acorn hired Mr. Obama to run a voter registration effort. He later became a trainer for the group, as well as its lawyer in election law cases.
ACORN's political arm has endorsed Mr. Obama while its "voter education" arm has pledged to spend $35 million to register people this fall -- despite a history of vote fraud scandals that have led to guilty pleas by many ACORN employees.
The housing bill now before Congress would set up a slush fund for community organizations such as ACORN. But ACORN has gone quiet in its lobbying for the bill this week with the news that one of its employees -- the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke -- had stolen nearly $1 million from the group. Mr. Rathke decided not to alert law enforcement or the organization's board, and kept his brother employed at Acorn until last month. "Is this the kind of group we want getting taxpayer money?" asks Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.)
But ACORN may play, along with other liberal groups, a leading role in electing Mr. Obama. Such groups deserve a closer look now, before their influence and possibly their clout grow dramatically after the November election.
