McCain is Vain

The more I think about McCain's selection for veep, the angrier I get. It is my opinion that he chose the naive governor of Alaska because he wants to forever be associated with history...i.e. she is the first woman to be nominated on the Republican ticket. Not only that, this is already a history making election year. McCain solidified his place in history since no matter what, either Barack will win...thus becoming the first black president; or the unlikely...McCain will win thus putting the first female in the vice presidency role. He is so vain! Not even a four days after the revelation and we are finding out that Pallen's teen daughter is five months pregnant. I am sure the story will get juicer by the week! Ridiculous.

Add to all of this Hurricane Gustov pounding the Gulf coast. Certainly has put a damper on the RNC. It certainly does help McCain to further distance himself from Bush/Cheney. McCain still won't win...even with divine intervention.

I have a feeling it's going to be a great week for me. I was feeling a bit achy today for no good reason but feeling much better now. I did do some fall cleanup as well as finish moving things around in the second room. I'm liking the new furniture layout. I can sit in front of the window on the settee and look out at the activities of the street below. Still taking some getting use to since it's a slightly new configuration. End of the week brings Evan's wedding. He's sitting me at a table with someone who is a chef. Hope that's interesting since I love to cook. It's always good to get new ideas to experiment with in the kitchen. Despite all of the objection I had to going alone, it has fallen on deaf ears. So, I'll go, complete my obligation, and probably say no to just about every invitation I get going forward that assumes single people should not even have a choice to attend a function with a date. That should be easy since with the exception of one two friends, I don't hear from any of my other so called "friends"...that includes Lorraine. Oh well...it was good while it lasted. At least she has her boyfriend as well as other friends to confide in. I've at least got me 24/7. I'm already use to being alone. Sure will save whoever has to bury me alot of time in the unfortunate event that I die. But I hope I live a long, continued happy life. Going to sign up for my class tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

I'm still debating what to wear to this wedding. I have two fabulous choices. I still think I'm going to end up going for dinner afterwards. Table for one. Actually looking forward to that. I know I will look as beautiful as I feel inside. Even if nobody else gets to see (since I'm not even going to take my camera), I'll know and remember how pretty I looked in whatever I choose to wear. I was even playing with my eye makeup today. I was having my girly, play dress-up hour earlier today. I went online to get step by step instructions on how to do that "smokey eye" technique. Guess what?!? I got it! Looked great on me. I'm a minimalist when it comes to makeup but I totally got my ...fresh easy breezy look down and now I have a great dramatic look down too! Man oh man...when the right guy makes himself known in my life he's really going to love my ever evolving looks! LOL. What I do need to kick up in my wardrobe is my shoes. It's difficult for me to find great looking shoes that feel good also. I already say I have boats attached to my ankles (size 11) plus add to that I have virtually flat feet...oh boy! Comfort is key. The way I calculate it, I can have my credit cards paid off just before Thanksgiving. After that, I can try to invest in at least two pairs of really great shoes. Fortunately for me, I don't have to wear a suit but I do like to look nice in the office even if everybody else is showing up in jeans.

o.k. better wind down. Gotta get up for work tomorrow. I really like this job. I hope I am there for a long time and I hope they like my work.
