Idiots and more Idiots.

A hospital here in PA has decided that as part of there hiring policy, perspective employees will have to be tested for nicotine. If they are smokers, they will not be hired. Now, I think this makes sense. If you are a hospital trying to keep people healthy and preaching healthcare then it seems hypocritical to have employees who smoke.  It's also bad on a business perspective because it raises the costs of health insurance. Why wouldn't they want people to be as healthy as possible? Truly, it only sucks if you are a smoker.
Hospital Policy on Nicotine

Now here is the part that gets me. The comments from all the readers. Everyone blaming Obama and the democrats. Huh? This is a private institution that made the decision not Obama, democrats or anyone else. In fact if you read enough articles you see the same dumb idiots making the same comments on articles time after time. They are starting to sound like parrots. "squawk....Obama's fault.....squawk...damn freedom stealing democrats!" So when do these people take time to breath and pull there heads out of there asses and actually look at the facts? I don't really care which side you are on in the political perspective just look at the facts and make intelligent decisions or comments based on the facts. It had nothing to do with Obama or politics. How hard is that? If you go by the readers and there comments, we are truly doomed by stupidity.

(I apologize to any parrots I may have offended. Of course they are smarter, I am just trying to make a point about how they sound.)

Of lemonade and old age....

Just an observation,  drinking lemonade after brushing your teeth is almost as bad as drinking orange juice, Eww.

As my 34th birthday quickly approaches I am reminded that time does not slow down. It just gets faster and faster as our minds and bodies get slower and slower. Is that fair? Seriously, who developed this system anyway? Yes, perhaps you get wiser but what good does it do you when you are quickly fading from this existence? Does this sound like a crisis? It better not, I'm only 33 and have a lot of life ahead of me. I plan to live to 11o even if that means I become so senile I can hide my own easter eggs! I will however still be snarky and a trouble maker. The nurses at my home will be chasing me down the halls begging me to put my clothes on as I giggle like a school girl. What would I have to lose?

Besides, I like birthdays. Especially when they fall on mothers day. I get a double whammy day.

Pink and fabulous!

I think by far one of the best performers ever is Pink. Not only, is she an incredible singer she has a body that rocks and an attitude to match. Her performance at the grammys was spectactular and still gives me goose bumps. She shows that she is also a great artist and athlete to have pulled off this performance and never even break stride while singing. Kudos to a fantastic woman and someone I look up to.

Spring Cleaning and kicking the can!

Spring Cleaning is here again. I have been an imperfect vegan for two months and I feel awesome. I am actually loving food now. I would actually say, I'm in love with food. Real food. Very slowly I have been replacing the food in my pantry with whole grains, nuts, seeds and organic goodies. You see, despite not wanting to turn into one of those nazi vegans, my kids are eating crap and that had to change. Junk food to the max people! And they ARE my kids. I know that the foods they are eating are junk and yet I buy them so it makes me the guilty one. I won't force them or hubby to be vegan. I will however offer them the best snacks and foods. By virtue of my being the only one who shops or cooks they are already eating more vegan foods.

It's not like I'm not giving something up! In fact, today I will be drinking  my last diet coke in my fridge. That's right, I will no longer be held prisoner to my addiction. No matter how bubbly and sweet it is. I will no longer be going out in a snow storm to get it. I will no longer be stopping after work to restock. I will be a free woman. Bye bye sweet bubbly, caffeinated, aspartame ridden addiction. (I will miss you.........please remember me..... sniff...) 

Back to the grind, after the grind.

I'm back from vacation and ready to roll! Ok, well, I'm ready to sleep. But after I sleep, I'm sure I'll be ready to roll. We went to Disney world with the kiddos. Seriously, if I see that mouse again I might just puke. I will give it a few more days for the illness to wear off. I blogged about it for my friends on myspace here: Mickey or Bust

Overpriced, crowded and simply exhausting. Disney everything! It was nice to have a week off from life though and the kids had a good time. On the other hand, a whole week with my hubby was trying. He's like another child. Our house gives us some breathing room from each other. I missed my house.   We get along so much better when we don't have to see each other 24/7. So back to work and life and I plan to do it with a lighter heart and step.
