50 years and I've learned---NOTHING!

As I sat glued to the t.v. today, watching the ceremonies for our new president, the thought occurred to me [wish it'd occurred earlier] that in my 'breath away from 50 years of living' I have learned NOTHING! Why, why would I not remember that??? I took the day off to watch the swearing in [yes, it does make me want to swear!] of President Obama. Why? Did I not recall, all the other times I have watched a special event. Network television has some idea [not sure from where?] that I just might want to listen to the friend, of the first cousin, of the uncle, of the head usher at the White House. WHY??? After two + hours of that garbage I exercised my right to turn off the television. I am somewhat optimistic about our new president, and certainly hope for the best. Time will tell. As for the state of the economy, I have a foolproof method of gauging how it is affecting me. My annuity. I got the statement in the mail today, over the past 12 months it has only made $535.19, so I will have that figure to use next year. Hope it does much, much better.

On a happier note, I found a new [and easy] way to clean house. Y'all are going to love this. I "borrowed" the air compresser that Dennis left in my garage . Fill the thing up, plug on the BLOW gun and whalah, instant clean. I may never use a dust mop again. Breane is choking and coughing from all the dust I raised but---at least I can say I TRIED to clean house today. Hugs!
