I guess my mind is totally making up for yesterday. I was thinking about what I wanted to blog about today and so many ideas popped into my head that I had to write them down!!

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Laina talked about this yesterday and I totally agreed with everything she said. This morning on my way to work, the Kidd Kraddick in the morning show had the same subject going on, so I thought I'd share my comments. The subject was the train wreck which is Tom Cruise. You know, they say that no publicity is bad publicity and I think to a degree that is true. But, when it continues and continues, you will eventually piss off the public and they will tire of your meaningless little existence and you will no longer be the "Golden Boy" that you once were.
I must admit, after Oprah, I was really thinking, "If that was a publicity stunt, he did the right thing" because all you heard about was Tom, Tom on Oprah, Tom and Katie, blah, blah, blah. But now, weeks later, I think the public is sick of his crap.
I could make a long list of his many mistakes, and I honestly think that I'll do that now....
1) Acting like a monkey who just escaped his cage on Oprah
2) Gushing like a raging hormonal teenager on Oprah
3) Bashing Brooke Sheilds (this is where I started to take offense to his stupid comments)
4) Becoming engaged to Katie, or should I say Kate, after their short-lived courtship (especially after the rumors that she was interviewed for the part of girlfriend)
5) Referring to people who do not believe in aliens as "arrogant"
6) Dragging poor Kate around by the neck
7) The endless PDAs
8) SCIENTOLOGY- and why is it called that. The name leads you to believe it's science based which couldn't be farther from the truth
I am so sick of this guy, and he's dragging his poor girlfriend/fiance down the tubes with him in my book. I think Laina had a great idea. We all need to get FUTC shirts. If you see one, let me know. I want to place an order.

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
4th of July
I want to hear what all of you are doing for the 4th. I will probaby take LittleMan to check out the bass tournament at the lake on Saturday and Sunday we are visiting Jimmie Davis State Park, but I have no real plans for the 4th. I'm sure there will be some form of celebration at Vetran's Park, and I heard rumors of a parade in a nearby town, so I guess I need to figure all of that out.

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Military
I was listening to Paul Harvey this morning and was shocked to hear that in the past 3 years the divorce rate for military couples has doubled. I know that the war has got to be really hard on a marriage and I can't imagine what these families are going through, but that was still shocking. I wonder if the same marriages would have failed if there hadn't been a war? I wonder what the divorce rate of the general population has done in the last 3 years. I have the feeling that this statistic was slightly taken out of context. I don't think it's untrue, but I think that other statistical trends would probably put that into a better context.

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Hooker
Hooker bought LittleMan a book for his birthday and he loves to play with it. When he shows it to me I tell him that Hooker bought him that book and so last night, it seemed that he thinks the book is called Hooker because he looks at it, looks at me, and says "Hooker" with a little smile. We tried to call and leave Hooker a message on her cell but of course he refused to say "Hooker" after the beep. Kids...they love to make you look crazy.

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Extreme Home Makeover
I was watching Extreme Home Makeover Sunday. It was a re-run that I had watched before with a little girl who wants a hospital children's cancer ward redecorated. The little girl mentioned selling necklaces and bracelets that benefit cancer in some way. Anyway, my sister in law was wondering where they could be bought and I found the website, Love Comes First and thought I'd share it with all of you.

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Site of the Day
I have a hard time remembering who I have bestowed with this honor and who I have not. If you want to be site of the day, please let me know!! Anyway, today the honor goes to Kari. She is a newly pregnant first time mom. Stop by and tell her hi!

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Three Things
If you could download any 3 songs what would they be?
1) Keith Urban-You'll Think of Me
2) Oak Ridge Boys-come on In (makes me remember being a little kid)
3) Jim Croce-Time in a Bottle (my all time most favorite song!)

Here's a pic of our prize winning photograph!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
