Another rainy day. We have had a storm system over our skies for the third straight day. I feel like I am back in Alabama!! :) Okay, not quite, but still, this is an odd thing to happen here. I heard one forecaster say that we haven't had anything like this for 100 years. NO, it's not global warming.
My roommate and I are going to deep clean the house today. I am looking forward to being finished. It will be a great feeling I think. And it will be a good thing to do when you can't go out and do stuff like BBQ/Grill Out.
Gas is just way too expensive. I mean, I don't go out nearly at all, even to the grocery store. It is hard to save money when AMPM/Shell/Chevron/Exxon/etc. keep stealing it from me. Did any of you see that news article about the congressional hearing taking place with the 5 exec's from the leading oil companies in the US. They are taking place because their profits have something like quadrupled in the last five years. And can you believe that the oil company exec's are saying that that is just the way it goes...they are defending the profits!!! Gah, it just boils me to no end. What I like is that the members of congress and the senate are absolutely grilling them. They are recognizing that if they are going to win the next election, they need to do something about these gas prices...
I think I am going to wash my car, even though it is raining. Seems pointless, I know, but I need to clean off some dirt that won't come off with rain water and it is bothering me.
I should go to Sam's Club, but...it's Saturday, it's Memorial weekend, and do you know how crowded it is going to be?? Gah!
I LOVE sleeping in.
I think THIS is just SOOOO cool!

That video is so fun and funny. Who knew you had to audition to sing on street corners? Not a bad idea though.
