I don't care what they say, I like her.

Jenna got a job.

I started my job this week and the results are positive thus far.  I like the environment and I like the people I work with. Although everyone seems to be stressed out this week, they somehow manage to keep in good spirits and suck it up.  Whenever I got irritated with the lazy people at Overlake I was told that these people I would have to deal with my whole life.  Ironically, everyone around me seems hard at work all day regardless of the stress levels.  Lazy lifeguards, you have no chance in the real world. 

I never really worried about getting a job.  Not like I was pompous or overly confident about it- I wasn't at all.  I'm thoroughly convinced that God puts me at peace when I least expect it, especially about things like this.  The day of the interview I lost all nervousness and gave intelligent responses... so out of character for me... Perhaps this was all part of some master plan.  

Ultimately, I'm very satisfied.  

Man of the people:

Weird.

Executive Decisions

I'm seriously considering boycotting my daily gossip until the November election is over. Perez Hilton is a flaming liberal, and his dislike of Sarah Palin is getting on my nerves.  Its all that his page has become.

RIDICULOUS.  Like McCain would have ever picked her if this were true. 

I could create an entire Anti-Diddy blog, but I won't.

No wonder I've always been taught rap culture is "bad."

Oh, John.

I'm a firm believer in not blogging unless you have something interesting to blog about.  People don't want to hear that you ate some red meat, thought about going for a run, and then finally settled into some Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on ABCFamily.  No one cares. Well, at least, I wouldn't care.  This may be one of those fatty, fat, television show filled blogs because thats all I did this weekend. 

I went to visit Tim's family this weekend in Bend.  The one clear difference between a male and female house is the food that is consumed.  This weekend was a red meat weekend.  I am this close (-) to disowning red meat for the rest of my life (except for McDonald's hamburgers, but those really don't constitute animal meat anyway, do they?). Friday night we had ribs. Saturday night we had barbecued hamburgers, and Sunday we had rib-eye steaks.  Meat.  Enough for a year. Tim was in seventh heaven. 

So we ate. And ate. And ate. 

And afterwards, I got in a heated discussion with Tim's millionaire uncle about the sanctity of life. And Obama the antichrist.  The fun part of that is Tim's mother clearly told me there would be no political discussions that evening. I believe she said, "Do not talk politics." But, I am my father's daughter and am unable to steer clear when the opportunity presents itself.

So what did I learn? Democrats love the idea of "tolerance," which CLEARLY I am not.  We should tolerate others (because one person killing an unborn child does not affect me, so I shouldn't bother), after all, its the law so it must be okay! Dad, that was for you... wish you could have been there to hear it. 

The lesson for this week is tolerance. I should probably learn to mind my own business and be tolerant of other people's choices. Maybe this will come with old age.  The close-mindedness that comes with being a Republican is so hard to handle sometimes.
