Congrats to those in DC who love to show their ass..,,,,

Okay, I have to jot down a quick note about the current drama in DC...which is more than all the daytime soap operas and the OC put together. Seriously,the passage of this healthcare reform has brought out the best and worst in folks. It makes me shed a small insignicant tear when I read stories of senators making public threats against their own colleagues....aw, look at the grown ups at work. Screaming during session! Let me not even speak of the Reconcilliation bill on the Congress floor now! While a filabuster is not allowed, unlimited amendments are. You can bet your sweet behind these are piling up...rapidly. What I fail to understand is the lack of common sense. Why throw such a public temper tantrum?? My favorite saying is "are ya serious?". Wow is all I can say. The one senator with the silliest amendments (the current count as of this morning was 14) is Senator Tom Coburn. Hey, I did not even know who this man was until two days ago!!! Now, he has made a not so favorable impression on me. I understand the tactic of adding senseless amendments to stall for time, but could he have not come up with..i dont know, better ones? We shall see.

Warm weather in nyc?? What??

Are your serious? Today it is about 70 degrees here in NYC!! Just last week, a nasty rainstorm tore the tri state area apart. The weeks before that, snow and the bitter cold. Now it's summer time. Would this be considered global warming?? Or could one say the ozone layer finally gave up the battle for survival and left the planet to fend for itself?? If I were the ozone, I would have done the same...I cannot lie about that!!!

So what does one do when the weather is warm as summer time? I haven't taken a break in so damn long, I have no clue what to do. I am always focused on my life and my next move. I would stop and smell the roses but vendors here in NYC charge you 2 dollars a sniff. Yes, fresh air is at a premium here in the city. I am not complaining about that...but I am still conplaining about the fact a pack of smokes is ten fucking dollars!

So, I still wear a light jacket when I go outside  I am not taking any chances with this fickle weather and catchimng a damn cold. Sigh. I hate being sick. So, this is my blog post about NOTHING. Now I need to grab a shower and enjoy the most of this day.

Peace out!!

Birthday Plans..What a trp!!!

I have been planning my 30th birthday bash ever since I turned 25. I am now 29...and  my birthday is in January. I know I am not old by any standard...but I feel like I am old

I figure if someone turns 30, it is a major milestone. One is supposed to have a huge party, celebrate the milestone and prepare for the next phase of their life. I am one who has never really celebrated my birthday...as I am normally working or doing something....just something!!! lol. Since turning 30 is a miletone (and sigh. I am going to have to grow the hell up now, eh???? WTGDF) I thought about going to Las Vegas and having a huge party there..but that would be kinda sad...as no one would be at the party!! So, I have finally decided...I am taking a trip....by myself of course. I think I need time to relax and enjoy some solitude.
I have come up with a list of places I am considering.

Number one on my list is the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai. What is in Dubai? Oil fields and this damn hotel....nothing else really. The thing is..this hotel  is on a man made island...in the shape of a palm tree!! The hotel is luxurious, 24/7 butler, grown and sexy playground...and expensive as all hell. Sheesh. Maybe this wont be such a good idea.

My second choice is Scotland. I have always wanted to visit Scotland...see the sexy kilts, hairy legs, watch a real live rugby match...Scotland is a land steeped in tradition and magic. Yes, I am almost 30..and a tiny tiny part of me still believes in magic. (its the Native American and Irish in me...bogs, misty rains, fairies and spirits). I just want to see rolling green hills I guess. Yes, I am a city girl..but I think a trip to someplace remote is in order. It's either Scotland or Ireland...I just want to hear that sexy accent!! Dance in a rain puddle! Run through the Highlands (well, a part of it...) I want to wake up early and practice my kendo in the dawn light! (as if I would ever get up that early)

I do have a third choice...China. I want to see and feel the rich history of that country. Experience the wonder and the mystery and all the history!!

So, I havent narrowed it down yet, but I am already saving the money i will need. Will I let anyone treat me? Chances are, no. I am funny like that. This is my milestone..and I want to treat myself. I am so used to being single and having to do for myself...it is hard for me to allow anyone to treat me. LOL. This also explains why I am still single..and will remain so! LOL
