Well, it's another Monday. This was actually a fairly decent day that flew by for me. I finally got some more help at work and I'm thrilled! I spent most of the day conducting her training and that totally rocked. I love being able to interact with people!New Skin
Well, I have yet another new skin. I totally love this one. I like the colors, it's easier on the eyes, and I love the pic! The beauty shop is my most favorite place to relax and gossip, so this was fitting! That reminds me, I need to call and schedule a visit!
Michael Jackson
Well, as I'm sure most have heard, he was found not guilty. My friend Ms. Jackson (how funny is that) called me excitedly to tell me that the verdict was being read. We pulled up this site and watched as it was read. I am totally pissed at the verdict. If nothing else, he was blatantly guilty of providing alcohol to a minor, but not even that was a charge that could stick.
The implications of this verdict are huge. I think this displays a potentially horrible message to abuse victims. Most victims are told by their abuser that no one will believe them and this verdict could cement this in some of their minds. This is a huge blow to abuse victims in general. I also believe that this child's mother was very negligent in her actions as well. I seriously hope that she was not doing things to benefit financially from the pain of her child. What a sad world we live in....
Strong Medicine
I love this show. I hate that it competes with Desperate Housewives in the time slot, but since DH is off for the summer, I am loving catching up on this show. And what a hottie to add to the cast. I love some Rick Schroder (is that how you spell it?). He's like the total hottie boy next door. I also love the guy who plays Peter on this show. I hope they develop the story line with him and whichever Sister, Sister twin that is. I like them together. They are a cute couple. I also love that Lu finally found a love interest that stuck around or didn't get killed. I like Jonas's character, but they need to make him a little more believable. The storybook prince is getting old. And of course I love sassy Lahna. What a hoot! I love her furry pens!
Well, I must get ready to go home. Tomorrow is my anniversary and I have a ton of gift wrapping to do. Let's just hope that the other person is doing the same!!

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.
