as the world turns

it feels like a lot of stuff is happening.  i guess a lot of stuff is always happening, it's just a matter of whether or not i'm paying attention.  well, for whatever reason it may be, i've been paying attention lately.

wendy's is gaining support.  ralph and i passed it last night and it was quite a pakced house but at least there were 4 people inside and a car in the drive thru.

going down the list...

a new pope has been elected signaled by the white smoke.  congratulations, former cardinal joseph ratzinger of germany.  he has taken the name pope benedict xvi.

a new food pyramid has been introduced by the us government.  no surprises here, we were long over due!  it appears that it is something that needs to be customized by age, sex, and activity level.  this makes a lot more sense than the old pyramid which was a general across the board sort of recommendation.  click here for the story.  click here to customize the pyramid for your daily food needs.  i'll probably continue with my own way of eating as will most americans. 

scott peterson is getting mail from women who are interested in winning his heart!  yuck-o!  who are these women?  they are certainly writing him from a mental institution!

and in my own life...

i think i'm getting sick.  ralph and i played soccer with dog last night and it was a lot colder (55 degrees) than i thought (70 degrees)- guess that happens when you run.  i was wearing a t-shirt and by the time we left, i thought i had hypothermia.  i was freezing all night and i'm still cold, but also headachey, and congested (beyond normally allergy stuff).  pass the airborne, please!  hopefully this passes quickly because i'm all out of sick time!  why am i always getting sick?!!  can i trade my immune system for a stronger one?

the tea place was closed yesterday for floor maintenance!  how could they do that to me?  maybe that's why i'm sick?!  anyways, they have special hours today that i wish i had paid closer attention to because i can't remember if they open at 6 pm today or close at that time. 

i'll be watching dolce this week (thurs-sun) which dog is going to love!  it'll be fun to see what having 2 pugs is like.  i'm sure my arms will be sore after walking the 2 rascals!

tonight is my tv night: scrubs and law & order: svu.  i hope they're not repeats.

add to my shopping list: meet the fockers (released on dvd today!).

that's all for now.  time to find a gallon of water, some vitamins, and a bed...
