I wasn't too upset about the Miss USA controversy, but now I am. I can understand that pageant rules specifically forbid reigning while pregnant, but how the hell does someone letting nature take place have to resign, but someone who breaks the law doesn't?

Driving in a Winter Wonderland
Soooooooooooo, as some of you may have read/heard, there was this little ice storm in the middle of the country, and unfortunately, that included north central Texas, where I'm currently located. So I went and picked out some movies on Friday to make it a Blockbuster weekend, and prepared NOT to leave until I had to go to work Sunday night. I look outside occasionally, but I don't see anything I haven't seen before, so I think nothing of it.
Sunday night rolls around, I'm thinking I'm going to get to work early to meet some people I haven't officially met yet, and I walk out to my car and it's COVERED in ice. Mind you, I've had a little bit of sleet and snow on it before, but never 1/2 an inch of ice. So I got to spend about 15 minutes chipping away enough ice so I could see out of my front windshield, and let my front windows down to remove the sheet of ice covering them.
But now I might know what frostbite feels like. Before I left work yesterday, I tried to get some more ice off my windshields, and was pretty successful, however, I didn't appreciate the burning/stinging I felt once I got in my warm car. And now, my ring finger still hurts a little, but we'll see if it breaks off or anything.
But after that workout, I promptly left for my daily trek to Walmart and this time spent under $10, buying de-icer and an ingredient for a pasta dish, as I'm sure this will not be the only ice storm/freezing temperatures we see in 2007.

In love, you are sensitive and passionate. You connect with your partner on a very deep level. You have great abilities, but you are often way too critical of yourself.You don't fit in - and instead of celebrating your differences, you dwell on them.You have high expectations of yourself.

New year, same old new stuff
So for the past 2 1/2 hours it's been 2007. And where do I get to be? At work. There's all of 3 people here, and I'm looking for stories to fill my morning show, and listening to all the calls about fireworks and accidents over the police scanners. But, I think I'm happy. It hasn't really kicked in yet, but now I really do feel like getting a calendar and marking off the days till I'm out of here.
But on the upside, my birthday is coming up. The downside, in exactly a week I will be a quarter of a century years old. Not really looking forward to it b/c I feel like an old maid, but then again, I suppose there are some people in worse predicaments than mine. But really, I can't complain. I shouldn't complain, b/c I know at any time God can take all of this away from me, as easily and quickly as he gave it to me.
So anywho, I'm extremely sleepy, wanting to go to sleep as soon as I get home, although I'm gonna try and make myself go to the gym, and I'm gonna try to get through the next 5 hours without falling asleep.
HAPPY NEW YEAR PARTY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao!!
