Today, my husband and I went to fill out paperwork for the computer training courses.  The classes will start in February, but tomorrow we have to take a skills competency test and attend two seminars Thursday in preparation for them.  That will keep us occupied until we find work.  Today is his birthday, and I, the big, egotistical jerk that I am (Don't tell me that women can't possibly be jerks!  You don't want to run into my ego!), almost forgot.  His sister called while he was out to wish him a happy birthday.  The girls knew, but they also know that Matthew and I still aren't talking (I think I really hurt his feelings the other day when we had that falling out; I do that from time to time.  He'll get over it...........).

When I picked the girls up this evening, we went to Wal-Mart and purchased a birthday cake, his favorite ice cream (Blue Bell Triple Chocolate), and fixings for his favorite meal.....fried shrimp, a baked potato (fries are too fattening), and toast.  The girls are having lasagna.  He left out again, where I dunno.  It's his prerogative.  It's his b-day; he can do what HE wants!!!!!

As for Mayor Nagin today, all that I have to say is that it never ceases to amaze me what comes out of our mouths when we are desperate.  It's viewing this tirade today that compels me to watch what I say even more so in the future.

Oh, and please don't suggest that I apologize.  It's not that I wouldn't; it's just that the issue requires a lot more attention than that, and neither one of us are willing to take the time to resolve it right now.  We will, trust me, but I have learned that in some cases it's best to let time run its course.

Well, that didn't take long....he's pulling up to the door now.  Good nite, y'all!
