Career Fair

Today I went to a career fair. Unfortunately, there were only a few jobs that I would be a good match for. I would love to be the lucky person that gets the opportunity for a paid internship for computer programing. It was soooo crowded and hot. I am just happy my pantie hose stayed up...ha ha. It is a mess because people that are educated and people that are not-educated are all hurting to find jobs. Now is not the time to play "politics". Our economy is not in any shape to be giving all this money to those companies that sponsored Obamas campaign. Those companies/people should have "donated" with the intentions of "giving without getting anything in return". I believe stimulus will only occur if the money goes into the American's pockets to spend or pay bills or to save...all those actions are necessary to a healthy economy. Now is also not the time to have all these "earmarks" or special interest projects...especially when everyone is hurting...and when some of those projects are just plain stupid...even the rich.

Politics

So the stimulus package was signed into law yesterday, I hope everyone is happy with the "Change". I don't get how all this money is supposed to help yet the government is projecting things to get worse. The stimulus package was supposed to help not make things worse. I also don't understand how these car makers are getting more $$$ yet laying off. The point of getting the money was to save jobs. Obama reminds me of a used cars salesman. I believe this blog is really going to gain in popularity if things don't get any better very soon.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Tonight I am going out to my favorite winery for dinner. Yummy!

The Y

My Husband surprised me with an early Valentine's Day present last week. He purchased a 6 month membership to the YMCA for me. Last week I walked 6 miles...that is a lot for me....and yesterday I started going to the pool. My goal is to lose about 5-10 lbs.

Obama's Presidential Limo

My cousin Tyler with Obama's new Presidential limo. Obama was in my Uncle's and Cousin's hometown in VA the other day. While Obama was delivering his stimulus package speech, they got to chat with the secret service and check-out the new limo.My Uncle has connections. Interesting fact about myself. When I was like 8 or 9 years old, I was in the Oval Office during the Reagan Administration. My Uncle was only allowed to chose one person and he picked me.
